Hi, Timothy.
You said that a lot of effort needed to make KDE3 to work under Lucid and some features are broken in Karmic. But in OpenSUSE there is well working KDE3 in the latest OpenSUSE version as well as in the Factory and nothing is broken. It also works well with KDE4 and better integrated (i.e. you can run KDE3 applications from Gnome session console by just typing their name, i.e. 'kate' for example, and KDE3 apps appear in Gnome menu). I asked guys in the mailing lists and the IRC but nobody knows who takes care of the KDE3 repo. People say it is automatically maintained. Currently there is "KDE 3.5.10 release 80", i.e. 80th release after final KDE 3.5.10.
I wonder why they have no such troubles with adapting KDE3 to newer distro releases and nothing gets broken. Or why do you experience such troubles?
Hi All--
I just noticed that when using the Ark tool, the timestamp column seems
to only show the time-of-day and not date. Is this just me, or do other
see it too?
Thanks,
Paul
Also unde OpenSUSE when running Gnome you can simply type 'kate' or 'kaffeine' in console to run KDE3 applicetions, without entering full path, they also appear in Gnome menu.
I have just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and would say it has well packaged KDE3. Although it is counted as "unofficial", it is based on their official KDE3 packaging. Among other things they have good OpenOffice integration: when run under KDE3 OpenOffice uses QT3 widgets. Is in possible in Ubuntu?
Tried upgrading directly from 8.04.
Bah ha hah ha. Left me with a dead system. Good thing I backed up 8.04
beforehand.
New approach: Install Ubuntu 9.10 freshly, thus bypassing kde4 entirely, then
add Pearson repos.
Initial 9.10 without kde fine so far. After installing kde3 all of a sudden
terminal input became sluggish. after a keypress it took up to 5 seconds
before something happened.
Not rebooted yet. Copied old .kde from other partition to .kde3.
After reboot: keyboard problem stays, DVB-T via Terratec Cinergy T2 not
working. Google. Problem with that Cinergy. Plucked it, keyboard returns to
normal.
So this is NOT a kde3 problem, seems this just rolled in with another upgrade.
Yeah well, now that Shuttleworth said he's had it *buntu will be going
downhill I guess...
Back on topic.
KDE won't even start. /home/dexter now belongs to root:root for reasons beyond
me - *that* now seems to be a kde3 thing indeed.
Fixed permissions manually.
Kopete lost theme settings. Minor casualty.
KMail works, no german i18n tho, GPG tested partially, seems to work (hope
this still stands when I press the send key....), filters work.
Manually added KNewsTicker (one of the main reasons apart from that bloody
Phonon thingy why I don't want to switch to KDE4)
Konqueror: no Baghira! I can bear with the theme, actually don't use it
anymore, but the Baghira sidebar in Konq is one of the more useful additions.
I want that back! Help!
Gonna reboot now and see if that recompiled v4l drivers do any good to the
Cinergy problem.

Hi,
I'm trying to compile Gwenview (but this also happened while trying to
compile other programs) and when launching ./configure I get this
error:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
The command "kde-config --prefix" outputs "/opt/kde3", so I've also tried with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3
but the error came out the same.
I've installed:
kdelibs4-kde3-dev
kdebase-kde3-dev
and other dev packages but still I get the error.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Luca
