64bit & Selected KDE 3.5 packages?
by A.B. 10 May '09

10 May '09

Hi, Am I correct to assume the following: - The kde 3.5 repos contain 64 bit packages as well? - Adding the kde 3.5 repos in a standard 9.04 installation will allow me to install individual kde 3.5 packages rather than the whole kubuntu-desktop-kde3. I just can't stand a handful of applications, like the new gwenview. Thanks. A.B.

Sorry for bothering again but the problem is solved. Found following thread "WLAN and KDE5" and installed nm-applet. Knut

knetworkmanager
by King Knut 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hi, I'm really happy to have KDE3 back as my default desktop. Thus I've got the possibility to check out KDE4 while working with a known an stable desktop. But there is one thing I'm already missing. Knetworkmanager doesn't work anymore as it did before the upgrade to Jaunty. The program used to be a powerful tool which I used quite frequently not only to connect to different wireless networks with my laptop but also to get additional information like Mac-ID's of access point or statistics about data transmission. None of these features exist anymore. Is there a way to get back the "old" knetworkmanager or at least is there a tool which provides the same functionality? Knut

Jaunty kde3 remix - no application icons in kicker
by King Knut 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hi, I recently made an upgrade from Hardy to Jaunty on my laptop (Intel-X86 packages). Since KDE4 doesn't provide the full functionality of KDE3 I installed kubuntu-desktop-kde3 following the instructions given on https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty to get a system with two parallel desktops. After kicking out some leftover Hardy-packages I eventually managed to get a working KDE-3.5.10. But KDE3 started with an empty KDE panel. I first had to add applets like "Clock", "K Menu", "Show Desktop", "Taskbar", "Trash" etc. again to get what I used to have before the upgrade. The only thing still missing are the icons of programs like "kalarm", "kpowersave", "kmix", "kgpg" etc. All of these programs are running on my system either in the KDE3 or KDE4 version. But none of them seem to register with kicker under KDE3 whereas the icons appear in the panel of KDE4. How can I fix this problem? Thanks Knut

State of Bluetooth support
by John S Robinson 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hi, I think this has been discussed previously, but I'd just like to clarify the state of Bluetoot support in KDE3.5 on Jaunty. Is kdebluetooth available? I guess if not, then general bluetooth support (for input devices etc) is still available using the Gnome tools if installed? Thanks, JohnR.

There is a bug for it here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182052 And here is the applet: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Run+Command?content=91495 Looks like it's been updated recently. I'll check it out. On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 11:54 PM, Dotan Cohen <dotancohen(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> 2.

KDE 3 users: what is missing in KDE 4?
by Dotan Cohen 07 May '09

07 May '09

I am filing bugs for features missing from KDE 4 that were present in KDE 3. Please send to me the features that are missing for _you_ so that we can get them in future versions of KDE 4. Thanks! You can contact me off-list if you prefer. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il

repository ok?
by Michael Lambert 06 May '09

06 May '09

Greetings kubuntu-kde3.5-users, I am attempting to install kde3 on a fresh jaunty cli system. I have followed the instructions at http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ Specifically, added to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main Then... sudo apt-get update wget http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/public.gpg sudo apt-key add public.gpg However, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-kde3 fails with "Couldn't find package". To test, sudo apt-get install kde3-maintainers-keyring succeeds. Searching the repository, I can not find "kubuntu-desktop-kde3" anywhere. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the repository? BTW, I can not use the jaunty-kde3 live cd because it does not support installation on a linux raid1 mirror. -Mike

System monitor improvements
by Dotan Cohen 02 May '09

02 May '09

This issue is a tangent of an earlier thread where I requested people to mention their reasons for staying with KDE 3. The System Monitor plasmoid seems to be a big enough single concern to warrant it's own thread. After going through the changes requested for the System Monitor plasmoid, I have broken the requests up into three separate bug reports: 1) System Monitor plasmoid: revert to single plasmoid https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191341 2) System Monitor plasmoid configuration requests https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191342 3) Please add System Monitor plasmoids that existed in KDE 3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191340 Please comment on the relevant bugs, but most importantly, _include_screenshots_ of KDE 3. Assume that the dev who is reading the report and looking at the screenshot is _not_ familiar with KDE 3 so label important things and describe changes _in_detail_. When in doubt, ask here or contact me off-list. Just to make it clear, I am not affiliated with KDE in any manner other than as an end user like you. My goal is _not_ to force people to abandon KDE 3 for a KDE 4 which does not suite them, rather, it is to identify the strong points of KDE 3 and to integrate them into KDE 4. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il
