KDE3 in OpenSUSE is automatically maintained?
by Илья Черных 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

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?

HBasic2
by Илья Черных 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

HBasic2 is an IDE for KDE based on Qt3. Its development stopped in 2007 so there was no Qt4 version ever. I failed to compile it on the modern system, but the binary file seems to work. May be you, Timothy can modify the code sou it to compile and include it into your repository. The screenshot is here (I made it on OpenSUSE, but under Ubuntu it also works after using the alien utility): http://opensuse-community.org/images/d/dc/HBasic2.png This is the binary deb so you can evaluate what is it: http://deboteka.hotbox.ru/ubuntu/hbasic_2a-2_i386.deb The source code is here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/hbasic/hbasic-2007-2a.tar.bz2?use_mirror=m…

Timestamps in Ark only showing the time of day, not year, month, day
by Paul Hyde 14 Jan '10

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

Strangest thing: kaffeine won't record DVB. Can timeshift alright but when I schedule a recording it won't start. Anyone else seeing this?

Last line on ./configure is: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! Not sure why thsi happens, build-essential is installed, kernel headers and all... missing a package?

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.

Open Office intergation
by Илья Черных 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

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?

install report: from 8.04 to 9.10
by Dexter Filmore 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

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. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

Can't compile for KDE
by Luca S. 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

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
