[opensuse-kde3] KDE:KDE3 issues
by Ilya Chernykh 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi people. I suggest you all to subscribe to opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org so I could send e-mails directly to this mailing list. I have several questions, suggestions and clarifications regarding status of KDE:KDE3. - First of all I have to announce that we completed for the most part moving of packages from KDE:Communitry. It has been done much quicker than by the KDE4 team. Some packages are not moved because they have problems either with build or during runtime. Some packages like ksquirrel have well-known security issues. I do not know should we include them in KDE:KDE3 or not. - It seems that some packages were disabled for Factory. Namely, kdemultimedia3 and anything related to Beagle. Please tell me the actual reason or the disabling. I can add to KDE:KDE3 repository any libraries needed for the build. For example, I can restore kdemultimedi3. Or are there any other reasons for the disabling? Beagle in particular is essential for finding topics in KDE help system. - I am planning to add some soft dependencies to some basic KDE packages to improve user's experience. For example, it would be good in my view if kdebase3-workplace recommended kde3-knemo and desktoptext-config. Also some plugins may be recommended. Please tell me if this is against OpenSUSE packaging policy. - I have long-range plans to include Qt3-based versions of Yast2, VirtualBox and Firefox. If somebody has experience in compiling Firefox for Qt3, any help welcome. - OpenSUSE maintainers, what's your opinion about possibility to include KDE3 option to OpenSUSE? The basic part of KDE3 (including kicker, konq, ksysguard, kcontrol) is already included (to be precise, it was never removed from OpenSUSE), but the ability to logon on KDE3 is disabled. The status of KDE3 repository has improved considerably in recent times, so it may look reasonable to reconsider KDE3's status. To enable a user to install KDE3 on his system we need to include only a tiny package kdebase3-session which takes only 4 kb, this package includes the .desktop file for the session manager so the user could choose KDE3 on the logon screen. - Besides this one can consider including KDE:KDE3 repository in the list of community repositories along with the Education repo etc so a user could be able to install the full version of KDE3 from the community repo. - Some KDE3 packages (koffice, pdfedit) currently experience problems with building for Factory 32-bit architecture. This is not a KDE3 bug, but an issue of brocken zlib in Factory, it was also observed on other distributions. I have reported a bugreport: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634995 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 11.2: KNotify crash on every login
by Felix Miata 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

I use KDE3 on 32 bit 11.2. I just did zypper dup yet again, which seems required more than weekly for many weeks now. Every login is accompanied by the login sound being cut short, and the KNotify window opening and reporting useless backtrace & "system configuration startup check disabled". What needs to be done to make this not happen any more? http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xsession-errors is fresh on this young login only. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Ilya, Robert, all, Does anyone have a repository that would work better for updating kde3 on 11.0 than the sle-11 repo? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Your Gnome The clutter was more or less a necessity dictated by desire for many samples. I've since opened grsync, which seems to conform only in the main menu, with smaller most places that count.

I'll bet it doesn't start by itself there either, but gets started if you open gnome-control-center, after which your GTK fonts enlarge. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] small GTK fonts
by Bob S 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

Hello SuSE KDE3 people, I am sight impaired. All of my fonts are pretty large so that I can read them, except for Firefox and other GTK applications. I am talkingabout the fonts in the task bars, menus, etc. In my personal settings > Appearance > GTK styles I have tried using the "Use my KDE fonts" and other variations. To no avail. Nothing changes. I remember back in about the 9.0 days there was a file or something you could download or edit or something that you could change the appearance of theGTK stuff. Is there some equivalent was to do it now? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

Great thanks to Malcolm Lewis, we now have Qt3-version of FreeCAD. He made a number of very difficult patches to comply with newer GCC, FHS etc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

I have no idea what that may be. If it only happens when you login as yourself but not logged in as root or an alternate user, you should be able to solve it by resetting your all your KDE3 personalizations. To do that, log out of X, switch to any of the virtual consoles and log in, then delete ~/.kde, then log back into X. You'll have to redo most of your desktop personalizations, but that should kill the subject problem. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] minimized apps dissapear
by Bob S 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

Hello KDE3 people, I'm running KDE3 on openSUSE 11.3. A strange thing has popped up on my desktop. If I minimize an application it does not show up in the taskbar. It just dissapears. I have 4 virtual desktops which I can choose from on the taskbar. I have been trying things in Personal Settings but don't know if that caused it. I have been going over settings for hours without any luck at finding the solution. The app is not closing because if I mouse-over a window (pager) in the task bar it shows the app name temporarily. But opening the corresponding desktop it does not show the opened app. This condition happens whether the taskbar shows permanently or hidden. Ideas, solutions?

[opensuse-kde3] QtParted
by Ilya Chernykh 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

I've ported QtParted from Fedora 15. You are welcome to test. But there is at least one issue: it always uses Plastik style despite system settings. I saw screenshots in the Internet where it uses different styles. So it you know how to make it use system style, please tell me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org
