[opensuse-kde3] Libreoffice open/save dialog kde3 style
by Istvan Gabor 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hello: I have installed libreoffice-kde3 package on my openSUSE 12.1/KDE3 system hoping that it sets LibreOffice open/save dialog to my KDE3 style. But the open/save window looks like this: http://i44.tinypic.com/121e6iw.jpg instead of what I expected (and have in oS 11.2): http://i39.tinypic.com/2vjofwz.jpg How could I have this style in oS 12.1? I have Libreoffice packages from openSUSE OSS repo and KDE3 packages from KDE3 build service repo.

Clicking on kmenu -> System -> Desktop -> kpowersave launches and restores the icon to systray. The "battery meter" is working, but looks like it needs to configure itself again to know the proper time left. I think that will happen automatically during the first batter cycle. I needed to configure kpowersave to start on login again. Configure kpowersave -> General Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Autostart [X] KPowersave starts automatically on login. Looks like Ilya worked a bit more magic and got it working again. Great job Ilya. I don't know if this is the old kpowersave or if this is upower with the kpowersave interface on it -- can you fill us in Ilya? Regardless, it seems to be working again.

[opensuse-kde3] New kdm screen for kde3 - give it a look and give me your thoughts, likes & not-likes
by David C. Rankin 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Guys, I did a kdm login screen for kde3 this past week to match a fairly cool desktop image I have been using. the main image is a background of lights from office buildings reflecting on water which has been manipulated so that the background is only the reflection on water which projects colors off the water surface (looks great - at least IMHO) The elements are from the Peace login by the login graphics are mine. The session and system icons shown are from the iceglass theme. All and all, I'm just interested in your thoughts. The kdm theme is here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/11.4/kde3/reflection_kdm-1.1.tar.gz Manual install: (1) cd /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes (2) tar -xzf reflection_kdm-1.1.tar.gz (3) edit /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc make the following changes: Theme=/opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/themes/reflection_kdm UseTheme=true Logout login and let me know what you like and don't like. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] KDE3 and sftp protocol in oS12.x
by Istvan Gabor 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Hello: In openSUSE 11.2 sftp protocol is working in KDE3 applications. But in oS 11.4 and 12.4 it gives and error message, something like "an error occurred while talking to ssh" (I can't remember the exact message). I know that this is a known issue in KDE3. See eg: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde3/2011-03/msg00087.html As I use sftp in KDE3 krusader extensively I am wondering when will this issue be fixed? Or is there a plan at all to fix this problem? I tried other sftp clients (gtk based) but not really like them.

[opensuse-kde3] QString::QString(QString const&) () from /usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqt-mt.so.3 - gcc 4.5?
by David C. Rankin 30 Jan '12

30 Jan '12

Ilya, all I've seen some Qt3 crashes lately. The latest was in kalazium. I have seen a few others and I wonder if we are not having an issue with Qt3 sneaking in. The 11.4 builds have been superb with very few problems. I think this is a problem with the new gcc and Qt3. IIRC, from Trinity, when there were objects defined as (for example): QString::QString(QString const&) () The newer gcc would cause errors. If I recall, it required a syntax change removing the first class reference 'QString::' in order to be compatible with gcc 4.5+. I don't know if this is the issue here, but it looks similar. To reproduce this crash, just open kalazium and pick, for example, Ti (titanium), then choose "Spectrum" and finally choose "Export Spectrum as Image", you will then get the crash on the 'save'. The full crash I got was: System configuration startup check disabled.

[opensuse-kde3] KJobViewer lies
by Felix Miata 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

With all openSUSE versions after 11.2 I've had nothing but trouble with my Canon MF4370dn IP connected printer. New proprietary drivers have come out several times since I bought it, including last week, but it's hard to say whether they've truly been any part of the problem or any solution. Today after many hours (starting between 14:00 & 15:00 -0500) with updating drivers, zypper updates, adding/deleting printers and printer settings and FF profiles and Konq settings and deleting various *cups*/* from /var and starting all over, even rebooting into 11.2 and rebooting 11.4 multiple times, I cannot figure out what is and isn't going on, but the latest discovery is that apparently KJobViewer when told to delete jobs only deletes them from the viewer, not from the system. With a fresh installation of the printer in YaST2, usually printing a test page will succeed. When it does, printing a local plain text file from FF 3.6.24 and FF 9.0.1 will succeed as well. But, if I try to print a web page with FF, the job never finishes. Sometimes, the printer will data error. Other times, it simply gets awakened, then goes back to sleep. When I check KJobViewer after nothing prints, there's always something there, usually "processing". After deleting whatever is there, I can goto YaST2 to try another test page, and YaST2 will report pending jobs exist, both before and after telling it to delete them, printing the page, then clicking the success button, though at the latter step it's not entirely clear whether pending jobs exist, since the deleta all pending jobs button is not inactivated. Once I've exited YaST2 Printer, I can again print from FF, but only plain text files, not web pages, whether local or not, again getting printer data errors instead. I tried a sample web page (my bank's recent transactions list, which is what started the trouble again today, saved to disk) with Konq, but instead of printing, Konq dumps the job off to Gimp, where I get totally lost what I'm supposed to do. I can take a screenshot of the transactions page, open that image in Gwenview, and Gwenview prints the image just fine. Obviously there are multiple problems here, but it would be a big help if KJobViewer would actually delete the jobs it claims to delete. At least I can print text in many fewer steps that way. FF on WinXP prints fine, as long as I first remember to reset the power on the Canon after Linux print attempts have confounded it. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] 12.1 and kde3
by kanenas 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

It took a while, but everything i want out of my 'puters is being delivered by suse 12.1/kde3, that of course being " ALMOST everything," there is just one thing remaining: The only issue is that kde3 somehow fails to recognize my digital camera, a fuji 500esr; the camerta can be seen in gnome and kde4, but *not* in kde3. my ancient olympus *is* visible.(Olympus has a std mini usb plug, fuji has a micro-usb plug if that means anything). The maddening thing is that virtualbox windoze vms do see the fuji and i can move the pics from the camera thru a windoze app, also the built in chipcard reader now works on the laptop, so i do have a workaround or two, even if i don't want to load kde4 or gnome, but still, i would like to plug in the camera and have the 'puter see it. is my camra a usb 3.0 or something and does kde3 need an update to see the relatively new device? has there been an update on usb device protocols lately? any suggestions? also, as an fyi, getting the mike (and skype) to work requires the pulse audio volume pavucontrol app, removing pulse audio was not the answer for me,it's removal caused more problems in 12.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Seems some macros are broken in Factory
by Ilya Chernykh 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

For example, this line leads to fail of packages in Factory: %{?suse_update_config:%{suse_update_config -f}} also the %configure macro is broken: it tries to patch the configure file for 64-bit library paths but incorrectly. For example it changes the Qt3 directory on 64-architecture from /usr/lib to /user/lib64 which is incorrect (Qt3 directory is always /usr/lib with libraries go to either /usr/lib/qt3/lib or /usr/lib/qt3/lib64). Please correct the macros. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org
