QuickBuild update
by Timothy Pearson 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

All, I have put a significant amount of work into the QuickBuild system over the past week in an attempt to stabilize it and increase performance. While I am aware that there were some outages in random components (most notably the PPA mirror redirects) while I was doing this, all issues should be resolved at this point. As of this writing four build machines are online, one for each architecture. As we have reached the chiller fund goal (see prior messages) the remaining x86/amd64 build machines will be brought back online over the next couple weeks. Please let me know what you think, and definitely let me know if anything is still malfunctioning! Tim

what replaced kcmshell applets when kinfocenter removed?
by Felix Miata 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Lots of nothing Googling this. Could not find any discussion of kinfocenter removal other than mailing list and https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2135 mention that it happened.

Mainstream KDE is going to need systemd
by Alexandre 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi, By reading PCLinuxOS texstar twitter feed, I learned that mainstream KDE is going to need systemd. Here you can read it: https://twitter.com/iluvpclinuxos And I found this article which explains why they want to do this: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/systemd-and-plasma I do not want or need to comment on this, since as an user, I don't care that much about init system, but I wanted to share this info here. Have a great day! -Alexandre

Different System monitor comparison - New color theme proposed for KSysGuard
by Alexandre 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi, I want to propose a new color theme and graph settings for KSysGuard, because the actual one are rather ugly and visually overloaded, to my opinion. I also wanted to post screenshot of different system monitors available on other OSes or on other desktop environment. Thank you! Tell me what you think! -Alexandre

Linux desktop environment market share survey
by Alexandre 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all! I found a new survey about Linux desktop environment usage survey: http://www.itworld.com/article/2881172/survey-says-kde-plasma-is-the-most-p… It has KDE Plasma at first place, and surprisingly, XFCE at second place. Sorry, but TDE is almost the smallest one. These numbers says that classical desktop environment can still have a great part of ''market'', since XFCE is quite a classical desktop environment. One thing that I am very sorry, is how TDE got almost no media coverage at the R14.0.0 release, and almost none at all for the stable quality releases as 3.5.13.x series. What strikes me, is that some things need to be done to attract more attention, more users and more developers. Since classical DE as XFCE can have a large market share, I think that it is still possible to get more users, possibly by ditching away the perception that it is the outdated kde3. What do you think? Have a great day! -Alexandre

r14 TDE apps not in Wheezy menus, probably Mint also
by Mike Bird 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

While looking into a problem on trinity-users I noticed that TDE apps are not present in my Wheezy menus. Judging by the original user report, this is probably the case also in Mint. I had not noticed this before because all the apps my users and I use regularly are either run from panel buttons or else are non-TDE apps such as LibreOffice which are present in menus. It is not immediately obvious to me where the problem lies. Does anyone have any information on this or should I start trying to figure it out? --Mike

Kdesktop_lock left running
by russell＠lls.lls.com 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hello, We're seeing lots of kdesktop_lock processes left lying around after users have logged out. With the number of users (100+ on some of our systems) and uptimes in years, the process table is going to end up full of these :-( If one does an strace on the process it terminates but not until then. Here's a (partial) pstree of a user with a three hanging kdesktop_lock processes: >dbus-daemon(19522) >dbus-launch(19521) >dcopserver(19574) >kaccess(19656) >kded(19578) >kdeinit(19588)-+-kio_file(8614) > |-klauncher(19591) > |-konqueror(20688) > `-kwin(19633) >kdesktop(19637)---kdesktop_lock(29060) >kdesktop_lock(20636) >kdesktop_lock(22549) >kdesktop_lock(22120) >klipper(19671) >kmix(19674) >knotify(19667) >korgac(19676) >krandrtray(19661) >kicker(19643) >ksmserver(19626) >startkde(19416)-+-gpg-agent(19518) > |-kwrapper(19624) > `-ssh-agent(19517) The 'spurious' kdesktop_locks end up with init as the PPID: >F S UID PID PPID PGID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD >0 S 1051 22549 1 22482 0 80 0 - 7739 - ? 00:00:00 kdesktop_lock Process 22482 (the PGID) doesn't exist. When I do an strace on PID 20636 and I get: >Process 20636 attached - interrupt to quit >--- SIGHUP (Hangup) @ 0 (0) --- >--- SIGTERM (Terminated) @ 0 (0) --- >munmap(0xb5b70000, 172873) = 0 >gettimeofday({1423135382, 387694}, NULL) = 0 >gettimeofday({1423135382, 387815}, NULL) = 0 >exit_group(1) = ? and the kdesktop_lock process is gone. The version is: >Qt: 3.3.8d >KDE: 3.5.13.2 >KDesktop Locker: 2.1 all running on Debian Wheezy. Any suggestions as to how I stop this behaviour?

That is partially because PGID is not a process id, it is a process group ID. Cheers. Jim

Downloading Red Hat packaging files

I want to download the red hat files from tde-packaging. I tried git clone but the cloning process always stalls at about 66%. Is there a faster way to grab the files? Darrell
