LTSP kde3 and kde4 - kde3 starts kicker and plasma comes too!
by Kevin Colyer 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Dear All, Thanks for making KDE3 available for Kubuntu users. I have been running an LTSP network with KDE3 for several happy users. Anyway as I was restricted to running Hardy I have taken the plunge and now have Jaunty with KDE3 and KDE installed. (I have decided 4.3 is OK for me) So I have the LTSP terminals working OK. But when I boot them into KDE3 Plasma starts too, as well as a number of duplicated KDE 4 services (or because of probably). I added: export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3/:/usr/ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/kde3/share/:/usr/share/ to /opt/kde3/bin/startkde but that makes no difference. KDE4 performance is poor on LTSP so I can't migrate the users. I call kill off the KDE4 processes and will train users to do this. Any ideas how I can stop KDE4 processes starting? Where are they being started from?

OpenOffice.org 3.1

Has anyone been successful integrating openoffice 3.1 with kde? I recently installl openoffice 3.1 from the following ppa: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main It installs without error but is missing the kde integration. Besides looking terrible it does not support the Konqueror integration when using the open/save dialogs --Will Esselink School District 33 Chilliwack, BC Canada

KDE3.5 and Kvirc
by Илья Черных 08 Aug '09

Please add Kvirc to your KDE3 distribution. Other distros such as Alt Linux and SuSE include Qt3-based Kvirc into their KDE3 distributions. Otherwise it is impossible to run it.

Local printers not supported
by Michael Hirsch 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

I'm trying to help my Dad with a problem. He's using KDE 3.5.x and his USB printer stopped working. He can see the printer with "lsusb" so it would appear that USB works, but when he tries to add the printer with the KDE Add Printer Wizard, the choice "Local printer (parallel, serial, USB)" is deactivated. He can't press the radio button to enable it. The other radio buttons are all active except for "Serial Fax/Modem printer". What can deactivate that button. It happens on both his and my Mom's systems, but they are running the same software, so that doesn't narrow things down, much. My machine is running the same software, too, and it is enabled for me. I can't figure out what he could be missing to turn off local printer support. His OS is Ubuntu Jaunty with the semi-official KDE 3.5 installed. Thanks, Michael

KDE4 deamon & co running in KDE3 session
by Miroslav Ľos 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hello, I have Jaunty with both KDE3 and KDE4 installed, as I want to allow users to choose either. But when any user starts a kde3 session (even a new user; same result with xinit+xterm+PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH startkde, so it's not a kdm4 thing for sure), kde4 services like kdeinit4, kded4, nepomukserver and krunner start too. These are superfluously doubling functionality (krunner vs. katapult) and eating memory doing nothing. Users that choose kde3 never use kde4 apps here. So, is there a way to avoid running these services? Thanks, Miroslav Los

Openoffice.org 3.1
by O. Sinclair 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Has anyone installed this? It is in the "Scribbler" ppa. The problem I get is that it looks really ugly as it removes the openoffice.org-kde package that came with version3.0 and that makes for ugly interface colors/fonts and no option to use KDE file dialogues. If anyone knows a way around this or how we can communicate to the ppa packager that the removal of the kde package makes for an ugly experience please post. Regards, Sinclair

massive KDE-3.5.10 update in the ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers repo
by Leo Razoumov 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

Hi Everyone, today morning my Adept update manager shows availability of massive KDE-3.5.10 update involving 31 *-kde3 packages. There is no info of what the changes are and what is the update reason. Is it a legitimate update? Should I apply this update to a production system or it better to wait a bit? Any advice is appreciated. --Leo--
