How are user profiles updated with a new release?

by Darrell Anderson

What is the mechanism to update user profile configuration files when something changes in a new release? How is a specific update tracked so updating is performed only for the first session with a new release and not repeated during subsequent sessions? I'm working on bug report 892. The changes require a one-time search-and-replace in the user's profile directory of all occurrences of X-KDE to X-TDE. Darrell

TSAK freezing my keyboard input or mutilating it.

by Calvin Morrison

Hey all, Recently, TSAK has started messing up my system. Whenever I hit the caps lock key, the keyboard basically freezes. The CPU does not thrash, but I am almost certain it is tsak. Basically it would not allow me to type in any new letters, and the caps light gets locked, I then have to reboot to correct it ( well i probably could have killed tsak) Is TSAK grabbing ther wrong keys? this is an lenovo x220. here is my xev output with tsak disabled: KeymapNotify event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 0 0 0 0 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001, root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 431876, (-866,348), root:(100,371), state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES, " XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " XFilterEvent returns: False PropertyNotify event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001, atom 0x1c3 (_NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY), time 431952, state PropertyNewValue KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001, root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 432888, (-866,348), root:(100,371), state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001, root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 432968, (-866,348), root:(100,371), state 0x2, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe5, Caps_Lock), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False ClientMessage event, serial 34, synthetic YES, window 0x1200001, message_type 0x17c (WM_PROTOCOLS), format 32, message 0x17b (WM_DELETE_WINDOW) Calvin

What about updating Konqueror search providers with recent list?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, With all the recent publicity concerning privacy concerns with current search provider policy changes, it would be nice to update the default list of default search providers in Konqueror to provide users a broader ranger of choices to meet a wider range of privacy infringement tolerance.... It should be a relatively simple task since most providers publish a url scheme to use in forming queries. The tricky part is coming up with a list that users will want and use. If you have a favorite - reply and let the list know. I'll look into where they go in the code. Recently Calvin suggested startpage and it has been good. What are some of the others you like? Startpage AltaVista (already available) DogPile ? .... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [trinity-devel] Preparing update kdebase for the 3.5.13

by Kristopher Gamrat

Hi, The update seems to have broke KM somehow. It loaded normally when I turned on my laptop, but when I tried to log in, the user/password box disappeared for a moment, the screen flickered, and it was asking for my user and password. I tried several more times, and even typed the wrong password on purpose. It seems to pick up on the wrong password okay (displays the login failed message), but if the password is correct, it exhibits the behavior I described. I had to kill kdm/Xorg, login via CLI, then run startx to get into TDE. Everything else seems fine, it's just kdm that seems to be affected. -- Kristopher Gamrat

Top-half of tdm shutdown confirmation dialog MIA?

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, Shutting down to kill the tsak issue, I noticed the top-half of the 'tdm' shutdown confirmation dialog is missing: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tdm-shutdown-conf.jpg Anybody know where this dialog lives in the code? It looks like this is probably a kdm/tdm issue where the code is still looking for a graphic in (or named) 'k_something..' -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What is 'tsak' and why is it eating 90-100% of my CPU?

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, I know there were a few tweaks involving tsak to fix the tdm.log explosion problem. After leaving TDE running overnight, I noticed the fans on my laptop pegged on. Huh? Checking top, tsak was eating 90-100% of my CPU. What is tsak? Why is it pegging the CPU? Here is a screenshot of top showing the cpu use: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tsak-hog.jpg Want me to file a bug or you want to look at it first? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Raising funds for TDE

by Darrell Anderson

Anybody with experience running a fund raising drive? I'd like us to raise $500 --- or more so Tim can update server hardware. 50 people x $10 and we're done. I'll put up $50. Darrell

TDE Menu

by Darrell Anderson

Is there an easy method to configure the TDE Menu not to show KDE3 or KDE apps? That is, without using the menu editor, which would be clunky for such massive menu changes. Darrell
