Bug 1902 - pam.d and preprocessor checks surrounding consolekit may be part of issue
by David C. Rankin 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Francios, All, I wanted to take this discussion out of bug 1902 temporarily to see if we cannot further the issue on list. According to the freedesktop links for accommodating clean-systemd (consolekit free) user session/process tracking, one of the tests to establish if session tracking is active is to check: $ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID Id=1 Timestamp=jeu. 2014-02-20 21:01:46 CET TimestampMonotonic=14146902 VTNr=7 Display=:0 Remote=no Service=tdm-trinity Scope=session-1.scope Leader=984 Audit=1 Type=x11 Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 Name=francois for the presence of 'Remote=no' and 'Active=yes'. Francios reports that he is using a consolekit free environment and has provided the output above which indicates that session tracking is active on his install -- BUT -- he is experiencing the exact same problems with tdeio_sftp /file/http/ connection being left open on his install. I have been making very slow progress understanding what is going on. I think in Francios case he has established proper 'user session tracking' showing that session tracking can with in TDE in this case without code changes. However, I think it is the 'user process tracking' part that is not working and causing the tdeio process to remain open. What we need to establish is what config Francios is using that allows proper user session tracking to be established. In my clean-systemd environment, I get: 22:19 valhalla:~> loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID NAutoVTs=6 KillExcludeUsers=root KillUserProcesses=no IdleHint=yes IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 InhibitDelayMaxUSec=5s HandlePowerKey=poweroff HandleSuspendKey=suspend HandleHibernateKey=hibernate HandleLidSwitch=suspend IdleAction=ignore IdleActionUSec=30min PreparingForShutdown=no PreparingForSleep=no From the documentation that shows I do not have it configured properly. I believe it may have to do with differences in the /etc/pam.d config. Francios, what are you using? I think the users 'process' tracking may have to do with code current wrapped within consolekit preprocessor checks that is not duplicated outside these checks but is necessary for process tracking in the absence of consolekit. This is also where I am focusing effort to learn what additions to the kdebase/tdm/backend code may be needed to comply with the freedesktop.org systemd environment. Francios, let me know your thoughts on this and Slavek let me know if you have any other suggestions as well. I am encouraged to see Francios has part of the correct config working. -- David C.

KXMLedit is MISSING from TDE - Slavek can you convert/add?
by David C. Rankin 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Slavek, All, One of the traditional KDE applications that I just tried to find in TDE to look through the ~/.trinity/share/apps data was 'kxmledit'. It is a good/solid xml editor. The kde3 version is 1.14. You can get it here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/kxmleditor/KXMLEditor/1.1.4/kxmled… It is a small package and actually one 'worth' adding. Let me know what you think. I would like to see TDE at a minimum have: text editor (done - kate,kwrite,kedit,quanta+) hex editor (done - khexedit) xml editor (need...) For those not familiar with it, here is a screenshot from suse/kde3: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/kxmleditor-needed.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KMail management of mail lists
by Darrell 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

I am just not geek enough to figure this out: In the folder pane, when I "right-click" on the mail list folder name, and select "New Message to Mailing-List...," the new composer window populates the Identity and To text boxes but does not include my signature in the text window. Conversely, when I select the mail list in the folder pane and then select the New Message toolbar icon or the same from the File menu, the compose window includes my signature from my template but fails to populate the To text box. I want the text boxes populated for the mail list and the text window to already include my signature. How do I achieve that? Darrell

Is the module dependencies/tqca still needed? I use dependencies/tqca-tls, but not tqca. Also there has been no commit in tqca since Jul 2012. cheers Michele

/etc/pam.d files - where in code to check what uses which file in /etc/pam.d?
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

All, Working the systemd issue, I ran across a question. Where do you look in the code TDE or system to find out what is calling/using the files located in /etc/pam.d? I say that because the only trinity related pam.d file I install is: /etc/pam.d/trinity #%PAM-1.0 #auth required pam_securetty.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth include system-local-login account include system-local-login session include system-local-login Files already existing in pam.d relevant to the trinity file are: /etc/pam.d/system-local-login #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login account include system-login password include system-login session include system-login /etc/pam.d/system-login #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog auth required pam_shells.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth session optional pam_motd.so motd=/etc/motd session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard quiet -session optional pam_systemd.so session required pam_env.so However, even after the logind-multiseat-patch, the loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID output is still: NAutoVTs=6 KillExcludeUsers=root KillUserProcesses=no IdleHint=yes IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 InhibitDelayMaxUSec=5s HandlePowerKey=poweroff HandleSuspendKey=suspend HandleHibernateKey=hibernate HandleLidSwitch=suspend IdleAction=ignore IdleActionUSec=30min PreparingForShutdown=no PreparingForSleep=no This suggests to me, that my pam.d setup is not sufficient to enable the needed user session tracking. Francios pam config is different in several areas and he has several more pam.d files related to kde/TDE than I do. How do you tell you setup to use additional files in /etc/pam.d/? Where is the code that asks to see a file named '/etc/pam.d/whatever' in TDE and how is the name of the file in /etc/pam.d/foo established? Where is the link between the code and 'foo'? I think that is another area that could be giving all of us without consolekit issue. Because you are required to register you login and session with the 'pam stack' and that is where I'm stumbling. One of the requirements in the freedesktop.org docs is that you register the greeter with pam. I don't see that explicitly happening anywhere in tdm/backend/client.c. The best I can come up with is it should be done with something like this at about line 1325 in the multiseat patched file: if ((pretc = pam_misc_setenv( pamh, XDG_SESSION_CLASS, "greeter", 0 )) != PAM_SUCCESS) { ReInitErrorLog(); LogError( "pam_misc_setenv() for %s failed: %s\n", curuser, pam_strerror( pamh, pretc ) ); return 0; } This is similar to an example given by freedesktop for registering the greeter with pam. Can someone with more smarts regarding pam give me a little insight into (1) where the code -> /etc/pam.d/foo file connection is made; and (2) do you find the greeter being previously registered with pam anywhere else outside of the consolekit preprocessor directives? -- David C.

Bug 1902 - TDE logind multiseat patch port
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Francios, Slavek, I have ported the kde-workspace-4.11.0-kdm-logind-multiseat.patch to tdebase. The code fit like a glove showing that there had been very little change to kdm in kde4. I was able to find the exact context for each hunk and I manually applied the hunks to the relevant tdebase files. I need you to look over the patch and make sure it looks sane. Let me know if you see anything out of place. I will attempt a tdebase build, test if successful and will report back. Patch attached. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Bug 881 - katesort (TQt3/TDE) conversion complete, need integration help
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Darrell, I have completed conversion of the katesort-1.0 source to TQt3/TDE and it builds fine. Download the converted source here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/cfg/applications-katesort-plugin.t… The source installs properly in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins like all the rest of the plugins, but for some reason isn't automatically read and included by kate when kate is started. I'll look at the kate code. I suspect it is due to all plugins beginning with kate..... and this just being 'sort' instead of 'katesort' The package contents and the plugin_sort.rc are: tde-katesort-plugin-R14preRC1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz /opt/ /opt/trinity/ /opt/trinity/lib/ /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/ /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libsortplugin.la /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libsortplugin.so /opt/trinity/share/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/plugin_sort.rc /opt/trinity/share/doc/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/common /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/index.cache.bz2 /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/index.docbook /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/sort_plugin_cs.png /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/common /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/index.cache.bz2 /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/index.docbook /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/sort_plugin_en.png /opt/trinity/share/icons/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/katesort.png /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/katesort.png /opt/trinity/share/services/ /opt/trinity/share/services/katesort.desktop /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/plugin_sort.rc <!DOCTYPE kpartgui> <kpartplugin name="sort" library="libsortplugin" version="1"> <MenuBar> <Menu name="tools"><Text>&Tools</Text> <Action name="edit_insert_sort"/> </Menu> </MenuBar> <ToolBar name="extraToolBar"> <Action name="edit_insert_sort"/> </ToolBar> <ActionProperties> <Action icon="katesort" name="edit_insert_sort" /> </ActionProperties> </kpartplugin> This is done, the only thing left is to get the hook working so kate autoloads the plugin on start. -- David C.

Congratulations Darrell - Threading Works!!!
by David C. Rankin 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Darrell, It just snapped to me as I was following the conversation through a nicely threaded discussion - Darrell has a new mailer! I see it is kmail and it is working great. Thanks for the switch. I'm sure you are viewing the messages threaded, if not look under the 'Folder' menu and there is an option for Message Threading that will show all messages threaded by conversation on your end. Looks good, thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
