[opensuse] KDE 3 users: What's missing in KDE 4.3?
by Dotan Cohen 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

The day when KDE 3 will no longer be viable is getting closer every day. Please tell me what problems you are having with KDE 4.3 so that we can get them fixed. KDE 3 is great because it is mature, configurable, and feature-laden without being bloated. I do not want to see that go to waste! It is the KDE 3 holdouts who have the attention to detail to distinguish the "little things" that make KDE 3 so great that are currently lacking in the KDE 4 branch. Note that KDE 4.3 really solves most of the issues for me and most other people that I deal with. In fact, the features is adds over KDE 3 were enough to get me to switch. So please try KDE 4.3 and _let_me_know_ what does not work for you so that we can file bugs. I want to know about missing features, unintuitiveness, bugs, regressions, anything. You _will_ need to relearn some minor things as KDE 4 is a rewrite of KDE, not a Qt4 port of KDE 3, however let's get the major issues fixed. Thanks. KDE really needs the picky, stubborn KDE 3 users to push the devs (who might not have the same attention to detail as us) in the right direction. I'm here to bridge the gap between us (the users) and the devs. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Desktop lock-down in KDE4.3.1
by Verner Kjærsgaard 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Hi list, - in the old KDE3.n, one was able to lock-down what users could do in/with the desktop. Either by using kiosktool or by hand editing various config files. - Are there any mechanisms in KDE4 that will allow one to do the same kind of thing? -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE 4.3.1, Wireless Configuration not available
by Jay Mistry 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

On oS 11.1, w/ KDE 4.3.1 (163): I have enabled Network Configuration via Network Manager (instead of traditional ifup, through Yast). Nonetheless, the Network Manager options for Wireless and Wireless Broadband are greyed out (not configurable thro' Network Manager in the System Tray - [1] ). Have tried re-enabling 'Network Manager' from Yast, but still those options are greyed-out. Thanks for any help, Jay [1] http://www.imagebam.com/image/66ad4747861576 PS: I am CCing to both lists as not sure whether it is a KDE 4.3.1 issue or an openSUSE 11.1 problem. -- Linux User 483705 | openSUSE 11.1, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686) w/ Windows XP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] WTF? KDE 4.3.1 reverts back to .jpg instead of .jpeg as default extension??
by David C. Rankin 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Listmates, Alright, what in the heck is going on. Ever since kde4 first emerged, it changed the default jpeg extension fro .jpg to .jpeg. Just one of those things you have to live with, right? Now I have directories full of the .jpeg extension files. For example: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/ Today, after a fresh 4.3.1 update, I go to save another kde4 bug screenshot, and now the default extension is ".jpg" What gives? Is it going to stay ".jpg" now, or is the just another temporary bug in kde4? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
