StartPage supports konqueror in TDE (kuddos to startpage)
by David C. Rankin 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

All, We need to add startpage (doesn't record IP for searches) to konqueror web shortcuts for R14 and 3.5.13-sru code. Checking, I was surprised to see that StartPage now publishes full support for konqueror and recognizes it in TDE right off the bat. Just visit startpage.com and a link is automatically provided to: You can now easily add Startpage to your Konqueror browser. To add Startpage as web shortcut to your konqueror browser follow below Instructions. Instructions: 1. Goto "Settings" in the Konqueror menu of your Browser. 2. Then Select "configure konqueror..". 3. Then choose "Enhanced Browsing or Web Shortcuts" from the sidebar on the left, and you will get a nice long list of shortcut. 4. Click "New" button. 5. Enter 'Startpage' in Search Provider "Name:" * 6. Enter 'http://startpage.com/do/search?query=\{@}' in "Search URI:". 7. Enter your own shortcuts e.g: 'ix,ixq,startpage' in "URI Shortcuts:". 8. Click OK. After following these instructions, you're ready to search: just enter "ix:" and press Enter! * Note: the original instruction suggest 'ixquick.com' as the search domain, but I prefer the startpage.com domain. You can also select StartPage as your default search provider after adding it above. Then your search box in the middle of your home page as well as the little search window in the top right will use it for search. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

API/ABI change
by Timothy Pearson 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

All, This is just a heads up to let you know that the TQt3 (and Qt3) style APIs have changed. All reliant code has also been updated in GIT as of this writing, so this should not affect anyone beyond requiring a full rebuild of TQt3 and TDE. There will be another (smaller) change to the API coming in the next week or two as well. These changes primarily wean the TQt3 style API off of direct usage of TQWidget classes in order to allow the development of style engines for other toolkits, as well as to allow TQt3 to use another toolkit's style engine if such an interface were to be developed in the future. They do not remove functionality. Tim

tde KTTS - no 'talker' available to configure? Where did he go?
by David C. Rankin 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Tim, All, Testing KTTS in kwrite, clicking on the Tools -> Speak Text menu item with KTTS enable, brings up the KTTS dialog to configure the default 'talker' voice. However - there are NO talkers (voices) available to choose from. Where are these talkers located? Can anybody else confirm this behavior? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

konqueror (web browsing) - develop incremental search on type like FF
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

All, One feature I would like to see in TDE konqueror web-browsing, is the incremental search in page when you start typing like firefox. (preferences -> Advanced -> General -> [x] Search for text when I start typing That is by far one of the best features I have seen in ff. Is something like that doable in konqueror? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

3513-sru artsd continually taking 8-11% of CPU? Any way to fix that?
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

All, Slavek, In 3.5.13-sru, the artsd process is continually taking between 8 and 11 percent of the CPU. That is high compared to my other installs of 14.0. Is anybody else seeing this? The sound is working though, so I'm pleased there. (that has always been hit or miss) What to check to see why artsd is so greedy? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

konqueror segv in 3.5.13-sru
by François ANDRIOT 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hello, I do not fill a bug report atm because I want to know if I'm the only one with this problem .. I've built and installed tdelibs and tdebase from branch 3.5.13-sru on top of my 3.5.13 installation. All other packages (qt3, tqtinterface ...) are still 3.5.13 (I saw no relevant change in 3.5.13-sru for them). I've removed all my distribution-specific patches, to make sure that they cause no problem. Now, I just open konqueror (with the quick launch icon). As soon as I do a right click inside konqueror, it segfaults immediatly. When reinstalling tdebase 3.5.13 (keeping tdelibs 3.5.13.1), konqueror works correctly. Anybody else ? Francois

krename port to (3.5.13-sru)
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Slavek, What is the process to prepare krename for 3.5.13-sru? I have created a diff that does it, but primarily the only changes are: tde-config -> kde-config ltde -> lkde # library names tqDebug -> qDebug tqt_cast -> qt_cast I have done this _without_ changing the automake variable names (i.e. LIB_TDEUI to LIB_KDEUI), there was no real need to change variable names, but if cherry picking reverts them, that's fine... What is the recipe for converting a package from current GIT to 3.5.13-sru? I don't know how to search and identify what commits need changing. Do you normally just look at the commits for a package and just toss out commits until you get back to the point it builds and then pick new ones you want? Also, do you know what the approximate date is that the packages have to be taken back to in order to get rid of the k->t naming changes -- or is it different for each package? If it helps, I have attached the diff for taking krename from 14.0.0 back to 3.5.13-sru. That probably provides the needed terms to search commits for. If you give me a quick 'recipe' of what to look for and how to logically go about looking for what actual commits need to be undone, I'll take a shot at looking them up for krename so I can get familiar with the process. Hope this helps... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Confirm kwrite update window when Remove spaces on save option set
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

All, I have noticed that kwrite does not behave as expected when Settings -> Configure Editor -> Open/Save -> [x] 'Remove trailing spaces' is set. When set, trailing spaces ARE removed on 'save' (from the file saved to disk), but the current editor window is NOT updated to show the removal (the spaces are still present in what you are looking at on the screen). If you close the current file and reopen it (or F5 - Reload), then the removed spaces disappear, but there is nothing that automates or forces a reload to update the current window. The help says 'The editor will automatically eliminate extra spaces at the ends of lines of text while loading/saving the file.' That indicates to me that spaces will be removed on either load or save, and to me, that implies the change should be apparent to the user. However, the spaces are only removed from what is written to disk without updating the display (current line buffers - I guess...) If current behavior is correct, then I think the setting dialog should read: [x] Remove trailing spaces on save - Reload (F5) to update current window and the shift+f1 help should read: 'The editor will automatically eliminate trailing spaces (extra spaces at the ends of lines of text) while saving the file to disk. A reload (F5) is required to update the current editor window.' An alternative would be to force a reload after a save, but I do not like the distraction of the flicker caused by the re-display of the text during reload. I think that is probably why it was coded this way to begin with -- to eliminate the flash on save caused by the redisplay. My vote is to simply update the option and the 'Shift+F1' help to make it clear that spaces are only removed from what is written to disk and are not removed from the current editor window. Thoughts? (this would go in the feature requests priority box :) Not a big deal, but before I forgot about it, I thought I would post it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

FTBFS with commit d8cbbab8 (tdenetwork)
by Slávek Banko 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Hi all. I tried to include into v3.5.13-sru commit d8cbbab8: "Use libv4l if available, otherwise check for v4l1 headers". But I found that it causes FTBFS on Ubuntu Natty, Oneiric and Precise - on both v3.5.13-sru and also R14-git. Please, can someone also confirm this? If yes, have anyone solution, or do I revert it?
