TDEPIM status and possibility to extend it to support syncevolution
by deloptes 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

Hi all, as many of you may have followed the discussion in the user list regarding a syncing with mobile phone and other mobile devices, I would like to open a discussion on that subject as it looks like we have a base (TDEPIM) but no decent way to answer the recent developments in the mobile scene. Is someone here willing to help round up a plan what needs to be done to cover the aspects in the context of TDE and TDEPIM. I'm sure all of us use some kind of mobile devices that can be synced with each other - and it would be a great great idea to have it in TDE. Unfortunately I dropped any work perhaps in 2010 and did not follow up the further development of akonadi. I still follow the syncevolution. Opensync works great except the syncML protocol, which turned out to be crucial in terms of mobile devices. I don't know what tablets use and especially the Jolla one I would like to buy. I also don't know what are the plans in TDE. I recall I read somewhere that there is a plan to make use of the newest Qt and KDE4/5 libraries. I would appreciate any help drafting the steps to bring us to a working solution as it looks like TDE is indeed realy good and useful to all of us. I can speak of myself only and I use it private and for business with a great success. Thank you in advance

GIT Problems - Cloning TDE Source
by Michael Howard 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hi Guys, Firstly, my apologies to Tim, Slavek, Michele and Francois as I sent them a direct email regarding this problem because I thought the mailing list was down but in fact, it was my mail server blocking list messages because the Reverse DNS check failed for 'mail.pearsoncomputing.net'. So, to my problem (Apologies again, if this gets duplicated); I've been trying to clone the source repo for the last few days, using 'git clone' as per the wiki, but it keeps failing with various disconnection errors. The repo is painfully slow (worse than watching paint dry) which probably isn't helping. My connection here seems fine. I got 1.5G of data at one point before it failed but as far as I know, there is no way to restart from a 'git pull' failure. My latest attempt has been running for 9 hours and I've got 107M of data at less than 10KiB/s. Is the source available from anywhere else other than 'scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde' or has anybody any ideas on how best to proceed? Is this due to the size of the repo and http(s)? It used to work fine. Cheers, Mike. -- Mike Howard

Long-standing TDE (KDE3 too) bug: KDesktop bug on slower PCs
by Alexandre 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hi, (I'm writing it here because Bugzilla is curently unavailable for me) Ever since the KDE 3.5.10 era, when launching TDE on slower computers (such as P4, or a Raspberry Pi), whenever the TDE startup time is slightly longer than usual, I get to following message after the splash disappear: Error - KDesktop The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly. and I'm stuck with no icons on the desktop, but the rest of TDE works as usual. I am almost sure that it is just a timeout who generates the alarm too soon, but it might also be a ''real'' bug. But, what could be interesting could be to do as in KDE 4 or Plasma 5; to relaunch automatically the crashed component. Have a great day! -Alexandre

New startup splash screen for TDE: Architecture
by Alexandre 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Hi, I made a new splash screen for TDE, and I wonder if it could be added to the list of available splash screens. I named it Architecture, and it is not designed to be everyone's taste, because it looks more like what is available for KDE Plasma 5. System requirement: -Widescreen monitor (will work on classic monitor, but may look distorded) -TDE R14.0.2 or newer -You may use File-Roller to extract it Have a great day! -Alexandre
