I have just installed OpenSUSE 12.3, and tried the configuration without HAL. There are some problems: 1. Kpowersave does not work. What applet should I use instead? I have tried xfce4-power-manager, but it fails redefine a power button (I usually redefine it as "hibernate"), and cannot start kscreensaver before going to sleep. Maybe there is something kdeish or qtish? 2. KDE3 does not mount media automatically. They are only mounted after demand from a program (e.g. krusader). 3. Krusader (KDE3) does not open a DVD disk. When it is not mounted, krusader mounts it, but does not change the directory. When it has been already mounted (by the first attempt to open), it tries to mount it again, fails, give the message that it has been already mounted, and do nothing (do not change the directory to DVD). The USB stick is treated correctly. 4. The last difficulty does not related with HAL, but by the way. Kde3-kile has some spurious dependency on "dviutils", which prevents its installation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
