"wrong" ISO image size to be used in VirtualBox
by Nicola Ferrari (#554252) 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Hi list! I recently experienced a problem with the TDE Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 iso image: it wasn't accepted as VM cd image in virtualbox. To exclude a vbox problem, I wrote to their mailing list: one user told me that, an iso image, to be consired a standard image, should have its size dividable by 2048. [1] I just had a try seeking the image with 2048 as block size and everything is working properly. Maybe images in the future should be "burned" with that block size? Thanks!

kbluetooth
by deloptes 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hi all, I downloaded kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8 and ported the code to TDE 14 (I have most of the tools and libs at 14.1). I can build it without errors. I am now looking into what needs to be done for the code to actually work. The major part is the dbus/bluez5 code. Do you have any hints that could perhaps help me? I have only basic understanding of both dbus/bluez5 and some user experience with both. I read briefly a guide for updating bluez4 to bluez5 and reference to dbus interface. Another challenge is the debian packaging part, perhaps someone would like to help there as I am not sure how TDE packages are build (paths), but even if no one has the time, I have to sit down and learn about it as I would need it in near future so again any hints where to start are appreciated. I have some good understanding how debian/* works, so I need more TDE specifics here. Thank you in advance and regards

[trinity-devel] two unique tdecmshell xserver instances at once possible?
by Felix Miata 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

man tdecmshell produces no manual entry. tdecmshell --help-all doesn't seem to show what I'm looking for AFAICT. What I'd like is to open 'tdemshell xserver', then run an xrandr command to change DPI, finally run 'tdemshell xserver' to compare the before and after impact from the xrandr command. It doesn't work. The second tdecmshell run simply focuses the original window. Is there any way to do what I want? If not, is it a feature that might be added to 14.1 if I filed a feature request bug? For now what I have to do as workaround is as shown here (using xterm) :-(: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/dpi108vs133.jpg -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

TDE on FreeBSD ... again :-)

Hi all! I'm trying to compile TDE r14.0.x from git for FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p3. Somehow compilation fails for "tqmake" with the following errormessages: # cd TDE/tde-packaging/freebsd/dependencies/tqmake/ root@t60:/home/nik/TDE/tde-packaging/freebsd/dependencies/tqmake# make ===> Building for tqmake-14.0.4 "/usr/share/mk/bsd.init.mk", line 12: Unknown directive Unknown modifier 'U' "/usr/share/mk/bsd.compiler.mk", line 38: Malformed conditional (${MK_CCACHE_BUILD:Uno} == "yes" && !make(showconfig) && (${CC:M*ccache/world/*} == "" || ${CXX:M*ccache/world/*} == "")) "/usr/share/mk/bsd.compiler.mk", line 107: missing `in' in for X_ in CC $${_empty_var_} XCC X_ "/usr/share/mk/bsd.compiler.mk", line 108: Malformed conditional (${cc} == "CC" || !empty(XCC)) Unknown modifier 'h' Error expanding embedded variable. ===> Compilation failed unexpectedly.

[trinity-devel] openSUSE repos for current releases not up to date
by Felix Miata 27 Nov '16

27 Nov '16

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall 42.2 was released several days ago. Since several months ago, I've had three installations of 42.2 pre-releases installed with TDE using the 42.1 repos. I've noticed no problems with it. I can update the wiki, but how should it be done? Will there be a separate repo for 42.2? Should the wiki language be changed to make it clear that both Leap releases are supported by the existing 42.1 repo? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[trinity-devel] bad UI font colors/theming in GTK3 Firefox in openSUSE
by Felix Miata 20 Nov '16

20 Nov '16

I've had several test installations of openSUSE 42.2 pre-releases and am in process of upgrading them to the official release. As there has been no repo made for 42.2, these have all been configured to use 42.1's TDE 14.0.x repos. Recent Firefoxes have a problem with UI font colors: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/ff50gtk3-tde-OS422colorsBad.png http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/ff50gtk3-tde-OS422colorsBad2.png A workaround is getting GTK_THEME=Adwaita into the ENVIRONMENT before starting FF, so that it looks like it should, (more or less the same as the same mozilla.org FF build does in TDE on Stretch): http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/ff50gtk3-tde-OS422colorsOK1adwaita.png http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/ff50gtk3-tde-OS422colorsOK2adwaita.png The blue UI text color for the main menu selection in the latter image above is reportedly expected according to discussion on irc://moznet/#chatzilla I haven't filed a TDE bug because the repos and the distribution don't match, and haven't yet tested this with 14.0.x on openSUSE 42.1. Related [opensuse] mailing list thread: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-11/msg00463.html What's the preferred way to get GTK_THEME=Adwaita into the ENV? ATM I'm doing it via export in .bashrc. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
