[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."

[opensuse-kde3] kuickshow
by Ilya Chernykh 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

As you know, build of kuickshow (a part of kdegraphics3 package) has been disabled for OpenSUSE versions > 11.2. This was done because it requires imlib library which is not included in 11.3. kuickshow cannot be built with imlib2, a replacement for imlib. Now I managed to build imlib for 11.3. So theoretically kuickshow can be restored. So my qustion is do you guys want kuickshow in OpenSUSE >= 11.3 ? Do you use it? If it is restored, then kdegraphics3 would require and obsolete and unsupported library imlib. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] library problem
by Bob S 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hello SuSE KDE3 people, Last night I installed the latest Google-Earth on my 11.3 KDE3 box. Google-earth complains it cannot find/open libGL.so.1 and it fails. I have checked my /usr/lib64 directory and it is there. However, it is there but as a link to libGL.so.1.2 Is there another real libGL.so.1 that google wants and not libGL.so.1.2 Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

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.
