Hi David,
I don't use SuSE, but do use kde3 and keramik for style/theme/window decorations.
I can reproduce your problem by clearing the contents of ~/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc, and setting the library paths in ~/.qt/qtrc to null: | [3.3] | libraryPath= | | [KDE] | kdeAddedLibraryPaths=
Then: # kcontrol --style keramik The style keramik was not found
and qt_plugins_3.3rc gets populated with the qt styles, and Appearance & Themes|Style lists only the qt styles.
Close session and restart kde .. and the plugins library paths in qtrc are restored
# kcontrol --style keramik
starts kcontrol without error message, kde3 styles are added to qt_plugins_3.3rc, Appearance & Themes|Style lists all qt and kde styles, and keramik can be selected.
Worth a try?
Absolutely worth a try. I have already nuked /etc/X11/qt_plugins_3.3rc and ~/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc, (and rolled in new versions from a working openSUSE 15.0 install), but do not recall if I did the same for ~/.qt/qtrc. Will try that next and report back -- though it would have to be system-wide as well -- I created a new users and started kde3 there and the desktop there was missing the kde styles there as well. The other possibility is that there are holdovers from the prior version in /usr/lib/qt3 causing issues. All the clean installs work fine, it's just this box that I "updated" instead of doing a clean install that is giving me fits. I'll update the thread after I do a bit more tinkering. Watching kdm3 use '*' to mask the password instead of '●' is just bizarre. There is something fundamental in the config that is just mixed up. (where is the question...) -- David C.
