[opensuse-kde3] Need HELP - zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 leaves KDE3 styles (widgetStyles) missing.

All, Devs, I have a problem with KDE3 kstyles (Plastik, Keramik, etc..) are all missing after 'zypper dup' from 42.3->15.0. This is not a problem with KDE3 per-se as all my 'fresh installs' of KDE3 in 15.0 and 15.1 have all the styles and are working fine. This is a 'zypper dup' problem leaving kde unable to read/load the styles in: /opt/kde3/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ The styles are all there: $ l /opt/kde3/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ total 156 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 4 19:53 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 18 2018 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jan 6 2005 Metal4kde.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 Apr 28 2004 activeheart.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3189 Aug 19 2008 b3.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5045 Aug 19 2008 default.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4118 Aug 19 2008 dotnet.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8023 Aug 19 2008 highcolor.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7447 Aug 19 2008 highcontrast.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4347 Aug 19 2008 keramik.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10555 Aug 19 2008 light-v2.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10693 Aug 19 2008 light-v3.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2687 Aug 19 2008 phase.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4038 Aug 19 2008 plastik.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 May 27 2007 polyester.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4527 Aug 19 2008 qtcde.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4811 Aug 19 2008 qtmotif.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5242 Aug 19 2008 qtmotifplus.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5301 Aug 19 2008 qtplatinum.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3422 Aug 19 2008 qtsgi.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5361 Aug 19 2008 qtwindows.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7834 Aug 19 2008 riscos.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4875 Aug 19 2008 scheck.themerc The associated .la and .so files are present in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins-lib/styles/ and /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins-lib64/styles/. The only files shown in kcontrol->Appearance&Themes->Style are: CDE MS Windows 9x Motif Platinum SGI (the Qt styles - yuck...) kcoltrol styles screenshot at: https://paste.opensuse.org/66525346 My preferred kstyle is keramik so it was instantly noticeable after zypper dup. I have pulled my hair out trying to find the problem and I'm stumped. Since keramic style is part of the kdelibs source, I first though to reinstall the base programs: # rpm -Ua --reinstall kdelibs3-3.5.10-lp150.213.3.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-3.5.10-lp150.213.3.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-workspace-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-extra-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm no help... I have then compared all the relevant files in ~/.kde/share/config, e.g. kdeglobals, kwinrc, startupconfig, etc.. to the files on the fresh installs of 15.0 where all kstyles are present and working fine -- no difference. I have created a new Linux user and started kde3 where there was no profile directory and the new user has none of the kstyles available either confirming this is a system wide issue after the zypper dup. I have also compared all the kde3/qt rpms installed with those on the fresh-installs and there are no differences. (including the Qt4 & Qt5 rpms) I have compared the KDE and QT environment variables set between the zypper dup and fresh installs -- they are the same. My style set in kdeglobals is still keramic, e.g. $ grep Style ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals XftHintStyle=hintmedium widgetStyle=keramik View Style=Simple I even installed a couple more styles from the kde3 repo just to see if that wouldn't break the logjam, but no help. I installed: kde3-style-activeheart-1.2.1-lp150.3.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-style-metal4kde-0.2-lp150.5.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-style-polyester-1.0.5-lp150.7.1.x86_64.rpm I could have done 10 fresh installs and reconfigs in the time I've been chasing this (and a few other) zypper dup side effects. Other than backing up and blowing this install away and doing a fresh-install, I'm out of ideas here (though I would like to figure this one out...) So I ask for ideas from those that may have a bit of knowledge on how the kstyles are loaded and what I might check to see why mine are not? I can usually solve just about any KDE3 issue, but this one has me stumped. help... what to check next?? -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] [opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all KDE Plastic/Keramik default styles?
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '19

All, After having done several full installs of 15.0 and 15.1 with no notable issues, I did my first zypper dup --downloadinadvance after having done a zypper clean and zypper ref. The zypper dup went well (even with the NVidia drivers and cinelerra repos). However, I have a frustrating problem that is not present in the fresh installs of 15.0 and 15.1. I use Keramik as the KDE3 style (in both 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs), but after a zypper dup, the Plastik and Keramik styles do not show in the menus. The versions of the packages are exactly the same between the working 15.0 fresh install box and this box. The only styles shown available are CDE, Windows 95, Platinum and SGI (yuk). None of the core KDE widget styles are listed in Appearance->Style. kdeglobals still has my widgetStyle=keramik, but it displays as CDE (first in shown list I guess) The library files are all there: $ find . -type f -name "*keramik*" ./share/apps/kwin/keramik.desktop ./share/apps/kstyle/themes/keramik.themerc ./share/doc/HTML/en/krec/krec-keramik.png ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kwin3_keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kwin_keramik_config.la ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.so ./lib64/kde3/plugins/styles/keramik.la ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.so ./lib64/kde3/kstyle_keramik_config.la I have run kbuildsycoca --noincremental to eliminate a cache issue and restarted the desktop, no joy.... Any thoughts/guesses? -- David C.
