[opensuse] kde4 runtime install wiped the kde (3) entry from my kdm list - howto fix?
Listmates, In 11.0 with kde3, the upgrade of several apps pulled in the kde4 runtime and other kde4 base apps and for some reason it wiped the kde3 entry from my kdm greeter list. The default DM is still DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3" and DEFAULT_WM="startkde3". Since the 'default' is still kde3, I can still start kde3 by selecting 'default' from the kdm list, but I would like to actually have an entry for KDE3 there like my other boxes do. I have grepped until my fingers hurt, but I can't find "the list" of installed wm's that is displayed anywhere. How does this list get generated? Where to I add the KDE3 entry to get it back? This is the first time that kde3 has disappeared out of probably 10 similar installs. My only guess is that this is the first install where I had both OSS and KDE43 repositories configured for the initial update. Not a problem, I just want to finally know how to put the kde3 entry back. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Listmates,
Hi David,
In 11.0 with kde3, the upgrade of several apps pulled in the kde4 runtime and other kde4 base apps and for some reason it wiped the kde3 entry from my kdm greeter list. The default DM is still DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3" and DEFAULT_WM="startkde3".

... had the same problem in November updating von 4.3.1 -> 4.3.2 and again in December updating to 4.3.3. The solution came from the german openSUSe list: Please check whether kdebase3-session is still installed. If not, just/yast install it again. HTH and a happy new year to the list.

Well I'll be! 11:56 alchemy:/home/backup/11.2> rpm -q kdebase3-session package kdebase3-session is not installed Thank you Hermann! Now WTF is wrong with zypper?? 11:59 alchemy:/home/backup/11.2> zypper se -s kdebase3-session Reading installed packages... S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository --+------------------+---------+---------------+--------+------------------ | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.9-65.2 | x86_64 | gwdg-update | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.9-65.2 | i586 | gwdg-update | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.10.1-33.2 | x86_64 | gwdg-k3 | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.9-65.1 | x86_64 | openSUSE-11.0-Oss | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.10.1-33.2 | i586 | gwdg-k3 | kdebase3-session | package | 3.5.9-65.1 | i586 | openSUSE-11.0-Oss 11:59 alchemy:/home/backup/11.2> sudo zypper in -r gwdg-k3 kdebase3-session Reading installed packages... Nothing to do. Huh? Ok, let's look in software management.... Crap, it doesn't show the alternatives, see: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/110/yast-not-showing-alter... Why do you have to use "Versions" to see the alternatives? http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/110/yast-not-showing-alter... On to why kdebase3-session gets kicked out? I think it is the python dependencies that kick out kdebase3-session. Probably the python-OpenGL package. Oh well. Thanks again Hermann. KDE3 is back :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
