TDevelop build error
by J Leslie Turriff 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

I thought I would get started with TDE programming, so I'm following the steps in the Wiki Development section, "Qt Designer and KDevelop 3.0 for Beginners". I followed the steps for creating the HelloWorld program substituting TDevelop for KDevelop, and all went well until the Project Build step, which failed, producing this output: | cd '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_CTYPE="C" gmake -k | gmake all-recursive | gmake[1]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug' | Making all in doc | gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc' | Making all in . | gmake[3]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc' | gmake[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'. | gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc' | Making all in en | gmake[3]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc/en' | /opt/trinity/bin/meinproc --check --cache index.cache.bz2 /home/development/TDEupdAlt/doc/en/index.docbook | gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc/en' | gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/doc' | Making all in po | gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/po' | gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. | gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/po' | Making all in src | gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/development/TDEupdAlt/debug/src' | g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/development/TDEupdAlt/src -I.. -I/opt/trinity/include/tde -I/usr/include/tqt3 -I. -include tqt.h -DTQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wno-long-long -Wundef -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g3 -fno-inline -O0 -g3 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o main.o /home/development/TDEupdAlt/src/main.cpp | mv -f .deps/main.Tpo .deps/main.Po | /usr/bin/tmoc /home/development/TDEupdAlt/src/tdeupdalt.h -o tdeupdalt.moc | g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/home/development/TDEupdAlt/src -I.. -I/opt/trinity/include/tde -I/usr/include/tqt3 -I. -include tqt.h -DTQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wno-long-long -Wundef -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g3 -fno-inline -O0 -g3 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt -MT tdeupdalt.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/tdeupdalt.Tpo -c -o tdeupdalt.o /home/development/TDEupdAlt/src/tdeupdalt.cpp | mv -f .deps/tdeupdalt.Tpo .deps/tdeupdalt.Po | /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Wno-long-long -Wundef -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g3 -fno-inline -O0 -g3 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt -R /opt/trinity/lib64 -R /opt/trinity/lib64 -R /usr/lib64 -R /usr/lib64 -L/opt/trinity/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -ltqt-mt -lz -lpng -lz -lm -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ltqt -lpthread -ltdecore -ltdeui -ltdeparts -o tdeupdalt main.o tdeupdalt.o -ltdeui | ../libtool: line 1300: func_opt_split: command not found | libtool: Version mismatch error.

org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver
by deloptes 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi, last week or so someone raised the topic around org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver https://specifications.freedesktop.org/idle-inhibit-spec/latest/ch05.html I created one application (I will publish on my TGW projects page soon) implementing the interface and let it run over time while watching now and then videos on youtube or else where in Firefox. Today I fell asleep while watching - haha, getting older :) and when I checked the output, I saw following [1], which tells me that indeed video applications are using this interface. I also saw a lot of stuff around screen saver in various applications (for example tdepowersave (just grep screensaver or screen in applications). I saw there many things that I think, might be not really contemporary and hence not needed any more. I want to discuss here that path forward. AFAIR we were talking about doing something about automating dbus interface usage (similar to newer Qt4 and Qt5). I think it was around hwcontrol (tdelibs/tdecore/tdehw) In any case I think, we have to do something as more and more interfaces are defined and more and more services implement those interfaces. Can we have an update on the topic?

Requesting new feature
by Darrell Anderson 27 May '24

27 May '24

I'm feeling more frustrated than stupid, but I cannot figure out how to request a new feature (or report a bug). I have four proposed Kicker wallpapers to submit. I logged into gitea, in the top left selected the 'Pull Requests' link, in the left side selected TDE/tdebase. I see a green New Pull Request button. I select the button and am greeted with a message, "These branches are equal. There is no need to create a pull request." I have no idea or memory what to do next or if I am even on the right track.

TDE and vintage computers
by Darrell Anderson 24 May '24

24 May '24

I would like to offer that with my efforts to build TDE on vintage systems, I built TDE R14.1.2 on Slackware 14.2 64-bit (gcc 5.5.0) and Slackware 14.1 32-bit (gcc 4.8.2). Both systems are EOL as of Dec. 2023. I did not build every package but core dependencies and packages built and run. I had to find some patches to back port. For example, some patches related to hotpluggable hwlib and ensuring '-std=c++11' is declared with tqt3. These days my brain is entrenched in old fart elderly territory and I have my days exhibiting grumpy old man traits. I have been out of the loop for many years with this kind of development and tend to lose patience easily. That said, that I have built the latest TDE on vintage systems is remarkable. Dare I say that the 14.1 builds are running on Pentium I/II single core systems with less than 512 MB of RAM and a 3.10.107 kernel? A tad slow? Yes, but everything functions and the slowness is mostly caused by PATA drives. I am impressed with the developers far more than a grumpy old man being able to build TDE on vintage systems. Good job devs. :)

Running synclient before the greeter appears
by J Leslie Turriff 22 May '24

22 May '24

I'm setting up a laptop machine that doesn't have a BIOS setting for disabling its touchpad. I can run synclient in the user's .bashrc, but that doesn't disable it in the greeter, where one enters one's username and password. Where in the TDE startup sequence can I run synclient to disable the touchpad?
