TDE Qt4 theme engine [TDE spring fundraiser]
by Timothy Pearson 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

It's time for our TDE spring fundraiser! The TDE project relies on your financial support to continue development of this reliable and easy-to-use desktop environment. As my way of saying thank you I have developed a new theme engine for Qt4 that allows you to use your TDE styles and file dialogs in new Qt4 applications, as well as interface methods required to easily convert common Qt4 objects to TQt3 objects and vice versa. If we can raise the $2,000 required to keep the TDE project running for the rest of the year by April 30, 2012, I will release the source code for this new theme engine under the GPL and also integrate it into the next TDE release. Once this engine and the conversion methods are part of TDE, the foundation will have been laid for work to begin on a Webkit-based replacement for the aging KHTML engine. Donations can be securely made to the project at this address: http://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php I will also update that page from time to time with progress made towards the $2,000 goal. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Library requirements: TQt3, Qt4, and TDE core Lines of C++ source code: 4207 (theme engine and Qt4 object translator) License: GPL Functional quality: ALPHA Screenshots of the theme engine in action are attached, showing common TDE styles in use with Qt4 applications. If you want to see this engine released and think the TDE project is worth a few dollars, please donate to help keep the TDE project going! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

Multiple pushes with GIT
by Darrell Anderson 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I would appreciate anybody who knows sharing how to perform a multiple pushes with GIT. I have some low level patches I want to push. Patching my local repository is straightforward with find and sed. The trick thereafter is diiscovering which modules were changed, creating a commit message for each individual module, and then pushing each individual module. My understanding is that each module must be pushed individually. Also each module push requires typing a password. There are 117 modules (packages) in TDE. Doing this manually I foresee myself missing or overlooking a few modules. My only solution thus far is to write a script that can recurse through my local repository, but even that seems like a lot of work because of all the error checking that should occur. Is there a simpler way? Thanks! Darrell

Updating bugzilla
by Darrell Anderson 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

I would like us to improve our bug report triage efforts. If you filed bug reports related to build issues, please consider updating them as follows: * Any package that fails to build from source (FTBFS), change to Blocker P1. Ensure the acronym FTBFS is in the description. * Any package that builds without failure but requires work-arounds or nominal patching, change to Critical P1. * Any package that builds without failure but builds incompletely, such as missing components, or causes other problems, change to Major P1. Thanks! Darrell

xorg 1.12 - All Apps Work! Seems to be limited to Init of Desktop
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Tim, All, I've started another thread as I think I have narrowed down the problem I'm having with TDE on xorg 1.12 to just the initializing of the TDE desktop. As a test, I launched all the TDE apps that I normally use in fluxbox running on xorg 1.12 -- they all work! Have a look: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tde-in-flux.jpg So the tde failure on xorg 1.12 seems to be limited to the initialization process when the splash screen is running (ksplash maybe?). What I need is to identify what is running when the crash occurs to help narrow it down. I'm not familiar with the 'startup sequence' so it would help if somebody who know could chime in. The best I can describe the point at which the crash occurs is this: The splash screen gets to the 'hard drive icon' (Initializing system services) chugs away for a while and then crashes. I also notice that during this part of the startup, there is no background image shown as it was originally. Now only a light-blue desktop color is shown. Can somebody help fill in the list of potential processes running at this point so I can take a look? I can think of one to add: List of potential processes: ksplash What else is running at this point in time? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Anyone building and running on X.Org server 1.12?
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Guys, I am still troubleshooting a few issues with X.Org version 1.12. Is there anyone else building and running on this version of xorg-server? I have updated virtualbox to 4.1.10 (compiled for xorg 1.12) and fluxbox runs flawlessly, but when starting TDE it hangs and crashes on "Initializing System Services" (the 2nd icon in the splash). The Xorg.O.log is clean, so I'm scratching my head. There are no other logs (.xsession-errors, etc..) in ~/. Does TDE generate other logs that might be of use? I'll try another complete rebuild since the packages are from 3/18 and 3/19 (old). I'll report back after that. In the mean time, if you have any other thoughts, please let me know. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Howto handle differing versions of libtool in TDE builds
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Tim, Serghei, Darrell, What are your thoughts on how we should handle differing versions of libtool/auto... with tde building? The tdeutils build failure has really brought this to light. libtool 2.4.2-4 in Arch contains parsing functions that do not exist in the libtool version in tde GIT that causes the libtool process to attempt to use variable that are uninitialized and not declared resulting in build failures. For tdeutils the build fails with the call to "$to_host_file_cmd $1". The to_host_file_cmd isn't part of libtool in TDE. Evidently, the new libtool tries to call to_host_file_cmd on every source it compiles. Since to_host_file_cmd is not defined anywhere -- it bombs. The file name to toolchain parsing functions are at the end of the arch libtool.m4 file: <snip> to_host_file_cmd=$lt_cv_to_host_file_cmd AC_MSG_RESULT([$lt_cv_to_host_file_cmd]) _LT_DECL([to_host_file_cmd], [lt_cv_to_host_file_cmd], [0], [convert $build file names to $host format])dnl AC_MSG_CHECKING([how to convert $build file names to toolchain format]) AC_CACHE_VAL(lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd, [#assume ordinary cross tools, or native build. lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_noop case $host in *-*-mingw* ) case $build in *-*-mingw* ) # actually msys lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_msys_to_w32 ;; esac ;; esac ]) to_tool_file_cmd=$lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd AC_MSG_RESULT([$lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd]) _LT_DECL([to_tool_file_cmd], [lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd], [0], [convert $build files to toolchain format])dnl ])# _LT_PATH_CONVERSION_FUNCTIONS I guess the question is "does the libtool in tde need to be updated?" ..or.. is there some way to just to bypass the version inconsistency? It might be arch that is having issues today, but it will be the remainder of the distros that have the issue after a libtool update. I have tried several times to get familiar with cmake conversion, but as of today, I don't have the tools to tackle something like tdeutils. I don't know if that would provide a better solution than trying to fix libtool or how much work that would be. What are the thoughts of the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
