[opensuse-kde3] 11.4 - kcontrol is (empty) and sftp://host:port/path doesn't work - but it looks SOOO GOOD :)

Ilya, Robert: KDE3 Looks really, really good in 11.4. Two issues have surfaced: (1) kcontrol is empty :( http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/bugs/114/kde3/kcontrol-empty.jpg (kcmshell.kcrash included at the end, below) I also have a kcontrol.kcrash from trying to select kthememanager->icons (2) The konqueror sftp://host:port/path/to/file syntax doesn't work in 11.4. I just talked about this with Robert/all on the Trinity list and it appeared fixed in 11.3. But in 11.4 it is broken again :( http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/bugs/114/konqueror/sftp-ssh-error.jpg fish is OK: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/bugs/114/konqueror/fish-ok.jpg Also, why not bump konqueror -> settings -> Previews & Meta-Data -> Maximum file size: 6M (3 is sort of small) Let me know if I can send anything else.

I did a fresh 11.4 minimal X install with 3 as default runlevel last night, then did zypper up, then added the KDE3 repo, then did a minimal KDE3 install, then started runlevel 5.[1] KControl was empty, so I looked through my personal mailing list archive and found this thread had a solution, which worked.

I asked before I knew that a package (kdebase3-SUSE) that apparently should have been installed as a dependency of what I specifically asked zypper to install was required but not installed.

I don't expect SUSE-specific settings to be prerequisite to KDE function. Should not KControl always be populated with something, regardless whether any SUSE-specifics are installed or not? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Looks to me more like KControl was broken by depending on desktop-data-openSUSE, since the latter was not installed and KControl had nothing populating the selection pane.

I did a 11.4/KDE3 fresh install on another system. The default unpopulated KControl can be fixed either of two ways: 1-1 package, desktop-data-openSUSE from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Ansus:/branches:/openSUSE:/1..., which keeps default KDE3 settings 2-11 packages, kdebase3-SuSE plus 10 deps, which kill a bunch of default KDE3 settings that I have to find and fix, e.g. automatic screensaver in 4 min instead of no screensaver, white background instead of image, and non-default splash instead of default splash. For those like me seeking a minimalist install, #1 seems preferable. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Based on my and David's experience with Ilya's x86_64 live DVD, I wiped my production 11.4_x86/KDE3 partition and reinstalled from scratch. Everything works just fine. I did not install the replacement "systemsettings-kde3" module, as Kcontrol now works perfectly without it. Ilya, are you planning to put the two "desktop-data" files, currently in "... /Ansus:/branches:/openSUSE:/11.4:/Update:/Test/standard/", into the regular ".../KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.4/" repo? All that said, in my previous 11.4_x86/KDE3 (pre-wipe) install, and this one, I've noted only two potential problem areas: 1. k3b (v1.05) seems to be getting very long in the tooth, and absolutely refuses to format any non-preformatted DVDs that I have. At best, it will start, then finish immediately --- having accomplised nothing, even if "forced" is checked. I have to reboot to Windows and use imgburn to do it! I've updated a test 11.4/kde3 partition with the latest k3b and, of course, it wants to pull in a pile of kde4 stuff. I've let it do that, minus the virtuoso and strigi junk. Seems to be working OK, but I need to run some more tests. 2. Firefox 4 seems to have rendering bugs, so I have gladly reverted to 3.6.16. Both, in 11.4/kde3, also seem to have difficulty downloading and rendering embedded .pdfs. Need to refresh, try to launch in new window, sometimes multiple times just to get the .pdf to load and render completely. No such issues in 11.3/kde3. I've tried both 11.2 and 11.3 Catalyst drivers. No diff. Maybe it's just early days.

They do not belong to KDE3, they are part of openSUSE and are submitted to the openSUSE updates. They are subject to reviw by openSUSE maintainers. This patch has been already accepted to Factory.N�����r��y隊Z)z{.��{��˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǥu����i�������

You can use the following command to erase the CDs after which k3b should work well: cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/cdrom blank=all

You can try another KDE3 utility - Kiso which exists in the repository.

That's a bummer. Opera used to have an integer selection for kde3/Qt3 or kde4/Qt4 dialogs which I read were removed for Opera 11. The reason being they wanted to simplify the code and not maintain multiple toolset interfaces. This happened within the past year. -- David C.
