Application NOT respecting 'System Administration -> Paths' setting in kcontrol

by Darrell Anderson

I tested what David reported. My "document" path was set to $HOME. I changed the document path in KControl to $HOME/Documents. Kate/kwrite correctly used that new location. I restored the setting in KControl to $HOME. After the change to $HOME/Documents kate/kwrite/kedit seemed stuck on insisting I use $HOME/Documents, just as David described. I deleted the $HOME/Documents directory and then kate/kwrite honored my selection in KControl of $HOME. When I next changed the path to something outside of $HOME, in KControl, kate/kwrite/kedit would not use that new location. The apps seemed stuck on using either $HOME/Documents or $HOME. Using KControl sometimes updated user-dirs.dirs. Sometimes. Changing the path in the "My Documents" URL tab never updated $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs. To add to the frustration, trying to change the path in "My Documents" using the little folder icon is busted. Using that method always results in a dialog asking me to select a file. Basically a pretty good WTF? moment. :) I could change the path in "My Documents" only by typing the path. KControl would read changes I made manually to user-dirs.dirs but typically would not change the file. "My Documents" never read or updated user-dirs.dirs. Something is broken. In several places. Yet another example why we need serious sweat equity before releasing R14. :) Darrell

Little problem with Ubuntu

by Kari Laine

Hi All Gurus, user list might have been better. Anyway the instructions to install Trinity to Ubuntu lacks one command sudo passwd to define the pass. I tried to install several times with the instructions from Trinity site, without no success. Then I found this http://www.howtogeek.com/106840/how-to-install-trinity-on-ubuntu-relive-kde… Only difference between failed and working Trinity install on Ubuntu was that sudo passwd. I don't understand how this exactly this is the key factor, but I can think that because Trinity want's to replace sudo and it can't if there is no pass defined. Anyway I though I let you know. Thanks for your effort! Best Regards Kari Laine FINLAND PICs, Displays,Relays - USB-SPI-I2C http://www.byvac.com USB and FPGA boards http://www.ztex.de I am just a happy customer

Hey folks, I've been working on adding a feature to twin which will allow us to do Mac like switching. This has already been a boost in my productivity since completing the patch For those unfamiliar with the concept, on an Apple computer, they have ALT+Tab and ALt+`. Alt tab functions similarly to ours, but the really good feature is the ALT+`. It allows you to switch between windows of the same application. Instead of having to scroll through a many different applications, you just see the ones on the same type. Example: you want to switch to the Firefox "download" window, and you are currently focused on your main firefox window. A quick Alt+` will switch you back and forth between two, like Alt+Tab operates, to see the tab box hold down Alt+` to view of the same type, and switch between multiple ones you then do the regular old Alt+Tab. I hope I didn't ramble to much, but it's an very useful feature! Just try it out and see! I have attached the patches to the bug tracker. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869 Calvin

Any recent installations of TDE to Ubuntu Oneiric?

by Mark S Bilk

Has anyone installed TDE to Ubuntu Oneiric in the last few days? A friend is having trouble doing it. Some packages are not getting installed, such as kdm-trinity. He is following the instructions here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#ubuntu

Finding "KDE"

by Darrell Anderson

When any TDE command is run in a terminal with the --help parameter, something like this appears: Generic options: --help Show help about options --help-qt Show Qt specific options --help-kde Show KDE specific options --help-all Show all options --author Show author information -v, --version Show version information --license Show license information -- End of options Options: ... ... The first section is generic and common to all apps. I want to update the "Show KDE specific options" string for branding to "Show TDE specific options." My challenge: I can't figure out where "KDE" is assigned. The common generic help strings are defined in tdelibs/tdecore/kcmdlineargs.cpp. Line 828 shows this: TQString desc = i18n("Show %1 specific options").arg(args->name); Thus KDE is a string parameter. Where is "name" defined? In one of the included headers, but which one and what is an intelligent way to find that assignment? Thanks. Darrell

(T)Qt3 Questions

by Darrell Anderson

1. Are the (T)Qt3 bin files used only during compiling or are they used during run-time as well? 2. Is there a configuration option to not build the html files? I do not notice anything obvious. I have been deleting the files in my build script after completing make because they add 5MB+ to the package size. (I don't want to strip the files into a separate package.) 3. Have the html files been updated to include changes/additions made in the Trinity versions? Thanks! Darrell

First report: TSAK/TDM related issues

by Darrell Anderson

Rebuilt with latest three tdebase patches. I did not build tdebase with DBUILD_TSAK=OFF. After setting tdmrc:useSAK=true using KControl and verifying tdmrc updated: I do not see a Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog. Ever. I do not see any pipe/socket files anywhere. tdesocket-global is empty of any files. tdesocket-global has root:root ownership. I both restarted the X server and rebooted. No change. Same results as listed. I don't know what I should see or when. When should I see the Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog? When and where should I see pipe/socket files? Darrell

Application NOT respecting 'System Administration -> Paths' setting in kcontrol

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, I don't like the default ~/Documents folder, so on my installs I always set 'System Administration -> Paths' (Document Paths:) to just /home/david. I've done that in tde, but then with every app I open (kate, kwrite, etc..) when I select 'open' it defaults to looking in the /home/david/Documents folder. It looks like tde is ignoring the setting. Anybody else see this in the latest GIT builds? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I'm missing something obvious, but I can't get these packages to build on 64-bit. They can't find $PREFIX/lib64. I appreciate help. Darrell

Deb users - where do I find this patch? (wanted for kmplayer fix)

by David C. Rankin

Where can I find a link to this patch I need to look at to get an idea on a kmplayer patch: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/g/gopchop/current/changelog I need a link to: gopchop (1.1.8-5) unstable; urgency=low * Add patch to support build with gcc 4.7 (Closes: #667188) * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes). -- tony mancill <tmancill(a)debian.org> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:44:31 +0000 I keep going in circles in the debian package pages. Before contacting the maintainer, I thought I would ask our debian users where to look for it... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
