problem with kde-3.5 desktop
by James D. Freels 06 Dec '09

06 Dec '09

I am using kde-3.5 from this PPA on karmic/koala (9.10) for amd64. I upgraded from jaunty (9.04). I also have a i386 laptop and i386 desktop with this same error. There were lots of problems with the upgrade, including some in the kde-3.5 area. However, most of my problems have been resolved one way or another. However, I have a nagging problem that I cannot seem to resolve. I have 3 separate machines all with this same problem. when kde3.5 starts up, an error message box comes up with a traceback (attached is an example). The desktop is not configurable, but I can use all my virtual desktops and the panel otherwise. I cannot set a screensaver, background, or any response from the right click on the desktop screen. How can I fix this problem ? I have already removed all the kde4 packages that I can from my system (at least that I am aware of).

dkpg: command not found
by Luca S. 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi, I've installed Jaunty with KDE3.5 and I'm encountering the following problem. Even though dpkg is installed (if I launch 'dpkg' in the konsole I get the help text), when I try to use the command to install a package ('dpkg -i packagename.deb') I get the following error: bash: dkpg: command not found This happens both with or without sudo before the command, so it's not a problem of permissions. 'locate dpkg' outputs '/usr/bin/dpkg' but even if I launch '/usr/bin/dpkg -i packagename.deb' I get the same error! Any suggestions? Thanks Luca

problem with kmail
by Jon Shorie 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

I am running kubuntu-kde3.5 version 9.10 amd64. Whenever I try to send an email using konqueror 1.9.10 using KDE 3.5.10, kmail crashes when I click the send button. I have tried to switch it to using the send later instead of the send now, but it still crashes. If I go back into kmail and right click on the message in my outbox, I can click send queued messages and it goes through. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions. -- Jonathan R.

Not receiving Bugzilla mail
by Julius Schwartzenberg 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, It seems I'm still not able to sign up to Bugzilla. I don't get the sign up e-mail when I fill in my address. The reason the Kubuntu KDM theme doesn't show, is because the directory kdm-settings in the source and when installed /etc/default/kdm.d is missing from kubuntu-default-settings-kde3. Is there a reason this was removed? It would be nice if it could be added back, so the Kubuntu theme in KDM would work again. Thanks, Julius

enhancement of kopete crypto plugin
by Stefan Endrullis 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello kopete users, if you are using the cryptoplugin of kopete you might be also annoyed by the visual overhead ("Outgoing Encrypted Message:") which is constantly printed with each incoming and outgoing message and consumes more space than the real messages. Long ago there has been a bug report on this issue (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77486), a patch was submitted and the bug was closed as fixed, but the patch never came into a final Debian or Ubuntu release, I think because of KDE4. But what about applying this patch against the KDE3 remix repository now? The patch is hosted here: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=40844&vote=good&tan=7513769 I also would like to help getting this patch applied. But I had some problem with the compilation of the kopete package. Normally I just do apt-get build-dep <package> apt-get -b source <package> and the binary package is generated from the source package. But in case of kopete-kde3 the compilation fails with this error: [...] g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/./kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise -I../../../.. -I../../../../kopete/protocols/gadu/libgadu -I/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/./kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise/qca/src -I/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/./kopete/protocols/groupwise -I/opt/kde3/include/kde -I/usr/share/qt3/include -I. -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGE_FILES=1 -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -g -O2 -g -Wall -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -c /home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/./kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise/rtf.cc -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/rtf.o rtf.ll: In member function 'void RTF2HTML::PrintUnquoted(const char*, ...)': rtf.ll:316: warning: function might be possible candidate for 'gnu_printf' format attribute rtf.ll: In member function 'void Level::setText(const char*)': rtf.ll:574: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' make[7]: *** [rtf.lo] Error 1 make[7]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise' make[6]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[6]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise' make[5]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kopete/protocols/groupwise' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kopete/protocols' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/kopete' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/stefan/programmierung/c/kdenetwork-kde3-3.5.10/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu' make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 I'm using karmic with some lucid packages (libc6). Is this the reason for the error? Does somebody know who to fix it? Thanks in advance. Regards, Stefan

Can't remove kde3
by Michael Hirsch 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

I've decided that on one of my machines I can use KDE4, so I'm trying to remove KDE3 on that system. One package won't uninstall and it is messing up my updates: $ sudo aptitude remove ksmserver-kde3 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: ksmserver-kde3 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 13 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 545kB will be freed. Writing extended state information... Done (Reading database ... 258178 files and directories currently installed.) Removing ksmserver-kde3 ...
