TDE metapackages location updated
by Michele Calgaro 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Quick note for developers/packagers. Meta packages in TDE code were located in two subfolders (defaultsettings and metapackages). They have now been consolidated into the metapackages folder. "defaultsettings" does not exist any longer. Cheers Michele

"...error setting up inter-proocess communications for TDE
by Felix Miata 12 Jan '21

Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_m7ncd_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" These messages pop up twice at each attempt to start a TDE session, then the attempt aborts, regardless whether sessuib start attempt is via TDM or startx. This is hardly the first time I've encountered this. What is the usual cause? 32 bit Bullseye & trinity-sb. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/TDE/xsession-errors -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Kuiper seemed to be running slower and doing fewer syncs and ultimately getting behind for 2-3 days but it was back in sync as of last night. Thank you for mirroring TDE! --Mike

[trinity-devel] UK Mirror Service mirrors
by Tim Bishop 27 Dec '20

27 Dec '20

Hi, I note on this page https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mirrorstatus.php that you list our backend servers (copernicus and kuiper) separately. Could you change that to list a single URL please? http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/ (you may use https too if you prefer) We're also testing out shorter URLs if this looks better: http://trinitydesktop.mirrorservice.org/trinity/ (https available within the next 10 days) The reason for this request is that these URLs go through our load balancer. This allows us to transparently handle node failure, do patching and maintenance, distribute traffic, etc, without impacting the user visible service. The backends are not intended to be accessed directly. Thanks, Tim. -- Tim Bishop, Computing Officer, School of Computing, University of Kent.

Re: [tde-users] Re: Migration of services - 10. primary archive
by Mike Bird 27 Dec '20

Hi Michael, As discussed we're now mirroring the whole thing so there's no separate "backup" option any more. A key factor in mirroring is to minimize traffic to and from the primary server.

So a > 2TB/month cap should be OK for a secondary mirror and you might even get by > with 1TB/month. All other decisions are up to the mirror operator. I did post some details of the script I use. Other mirrors use different scripts. I use Debian Buster and Apache2 currently but that may change and other mirrors may use entirely different software. The CPU and RAM will of course depend upon the bandwidth which we have discussed and the software which you choose but in reality it would probably run fine on a twenty year old Pentium with a gig of RAM. Please join the TDE devel list if you wish to discuss mirroring further as that is a more appropriate forum. Thanks, --Mike

tq development tools
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

In addition to the regular development tool programs in /opt/trinity/bin, I also see numerous tq* programs in /usr/bin, which are installed from the Trinity repository. What are these for? Which should be used for application development? TIA, Leslie

> > I would suggest that if you get into mirroring TDE you join the TDE > devel mailing list so we can discuss mirroring there. > Best, > > --Mike Thanks Mike and Michael for the excellent contribution and discussion. It will be good to have a full mirror (and maybe more than one) of the TDE archive on Slavek machine. Nevertheless (and perhaps my fault for not explaining it well), the point of "moving away from a single person structure" is that we need the archive (and all TDE tools) on public machines accessible from more than one person. Slavek archive/computer is only accessible by him, so it is still a week point, although having a full mirror will improve the current situation. Longer term we need to move all remaining services to public machines, definitely something to discuss again after sorting out the project license and donation status. It would also be good to have at least 2 people who knows what are the required tasks for maintenance of the various services. I do get involved in some of them, but mostly it is Slavek doing the maintenance of the machines, while I focus more on the development side. It would be good if more people steps up and help out Slavek's on the maintenance burden :-) Cheers Michele P.S: perhaps we should discuss on the devels ML rather than users?? so adding devs ML here too
