In Secession Type I want to edit the menu to select and use kde3 not kde4. I looked into Trinity but only found other distros and source code? yet there are kde3 repositories so some form of the better window manager is available officially. How do I correct this? Do I have to destroy kde4 to force the systems hand? CWSIV -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

you might get a good answer here eventually, but i'd guess a higher chance and faster response on the KDE3 mail list: opensuse-kde3@opensuse.org that project and list is homed at: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3 dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

ok, been playing w. 11.4, but i have installed kde-3:) .(just some personal issues with widgets and plasmoids, please don't attack:)) the only problem so far is virtual box, it fails to start. rerunning setup does reconfigure it, still it fails to open an x window. any pointers? thanks,

I have 11.4 (32-bit)+kde3 and virtual box 4.0 from Oracle Repository. Works fine for me. I've installed kde4 first, then added kde3, so kde4 sits there as well, but I do not believe it makes any difference. I think I had initially a problems with opensuse version of virtual box. Which one are you using?

-- Mark Goldstein having kde4 fully installed might be the difference. my system has *no* kde4 at all. i started with xfce, then added the kde3 repo. and i have taboo-ed out libstrigi and kdm, basically killing any attempt to "upgrade" the system to kde4.

the two vbox versions i tried are the 4.0 from suse, then 4.1 from oracle. i did try the console start, that's how i did the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and the system was recompiled. and that's where i saw the error that vbox can not open an x window. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
