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

pool.sks-keyservers.net is shutting down
by Slávek Banko 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Hi all, from sks-keyservers.net web page: This service is deprecated. This means it is no longer maintained, and new HKPS certificates will not be issued. Service reliability should not be expected. Update 2021-06-21: Due to even more GDPR takedown requests, the DNS records for the pool will no longer be provided at all. So, we need to do again to change the default key servers for KGpg. Do you know any candidates we could use? I found the following: https://keys.openpgp.org/ https://pgp.key-server.io/ https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ https://keyserver.pgp.com/ Cheers -- Slávek

Devuan install issues
by Michael Howard 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

Hey guys, I have noticed problems recently installing TDE on Devuan i386 systems. I needed to test something else which led to do a fresh Devuan i386 install and a Debian Stretch i386 conversion to beowulf and the install of tde-trinity or tdebase-trinity gave dependency issues. Not sure if this applies to x64. I can work round these using '--without-recommends' but 'non technical' Devuan users may not appreciate this. Should the install docs highlight this? A sample output of 'aptitude install tdebase-trinity' is; The following packages have unmet dependencies: consolekit : Depends: libcgmanager0 (>= 0.28) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libck-connector0 (= 1.2.1-8) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libnih-dbus1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libnih1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 : Conflicts: consolekit but 1.2.1-8 is installed libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 : Conflicts: libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0 but 0.105-25+devuan8 is installed libpolkit-gobject-consolekit-1-0 : Conflicts: libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 but 0.105-25+devuan8 is to be installed The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) elogind [241.4-2 (now, stable)] 2) libpam-elogind [241.4-2 (now, stable)] Install the following packages: 3) libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 [0.105-25+devuan8 (stable)] Keep the following packages at their current version: 4) libcgmanager0 [0.41-2+devuan1 (now, stable)] 5) libck-connector0 [1.2.1-8 (now, stable)] 6) libnih-dbus1 [1.0.3-10+b2 (now, stable)] 7) libnih1 [1.0.3-10+b2 (now, stable)] 8) libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 [Not Installed] 9) libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 [Not Installed] Leave the following dependencies unresolved: 10) consolekit recommends pm-utils 11) openssh-server recommends default-logind | logind | libpam-systemd 12) xserver-xorg-core recommends libpam-systemd The above is just one example. Without elogind installed, another set of issues is raised. Also, using '--without-recommends' to avoid the conflicts results in numerous tde & non tde packages not being installed, which might not be what the user wants. Cheers, -- Michael Howard.

[suse] trinity-tdelibs requires metapackage not required for working Xorg

Why? I don't remember previous releases requiring this clutter, or any of the rest of the requires appearing in the console log attached: # cat /usr/share/doc/packages/xorg-x11/README.meta This package is a metapackage, created for compatibility.

[suse] copy & paste from Konsole to text file compounds whitespace
by Felix Miata 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

This has been going on a very long time. I need to double check whether it is SUSE only or everywhere, but I just uploaded a log for another thread that comprises an example of the problem on openSUSE 15.3. At some point from what is copied for pasting, a few additional space characters are appended to line starts, in addition to as many as were copied to the previous line. The result is line lengths well into triple digits, most of which are spaces but possibly some tabs. The example https://paste.opensuse.org/18808537 has lots of lines in the 400s where no such line lengths were present in Konsole. To reproduce: 1-configure Konsole with more columns and rows than default 2-select considerable number of lines from Konsole shell window 3-copy 4-in next Konsole tab running MC, open some .txt file for editing with F4 5-paste result: line ends move farther and farther to the right with each line from some random point advancing down being padded by extra space characters from nowhere. I typically have my Konsole windows set to a default of 132x43 size, using font size inherited from desktop font settings for monospace of size 10. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

As I found this problem again in the latest release 14.0.10, is there any possibility to get the proposed patch upsteam? The bug makes the use of the Set_GID flag impossible with konqueror. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2375
