TQt3 FTBS
by Darrell Anderson 10 Apr '25

10 Apr '25

I am trying to build 14.1.3 on Slackware 14.2. I had no problem building 14.1.2 on the same system a few months ago. Slackware 14.2 uses GCC 5.5. Comparing the source 14.1.2/14.1.3 tqt3 files shows some notable differences. One of which is something to do with nullptr, which is part of the fatal errors I see. Perhaps I need to add some kind of C++ qualifier? Thanks.

Are there are any build prerequisites for the xdg-desktop-portal-tde package other than tdelibs|tdebase? Are any run-time environment variables needed? Thanks.

polkit-agent-tde

I built and installed polkit-tqt and polkit-agent-tde. The polkit-agent-tde agent launches fine and can be seen in the process list. Yet I am unable to launch pkexec. Just hangs. No issues with polkit-agent-kde. Where to debug? Thanks.

TDE build order and requirements
by Darrell Anderson 03 Apr '25

03 Apr '25

I'm trying to create a TDE build environment. I'm using my old notes and the wiki. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Suggested_Bui… I recognize the information because I was (mostly) the original author. :) But I've been out of sync with the process for some years and I am finding some information incorrect or obsolete. For example, python-tqt was renamed to pytqt and python-trinity renamed to pytde. I also am uncertain of the correct build order these days. I know you folks are busy, but would a seasoned developer please review the page and update? Would be a nice help to us folks with lots of brain fog. ) Thanks! :)

TDE and polkit
by Darrell Anderson 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

I updated my system from 14.1.2 to 14.1.3. I no longer could launch non TDE tools as root using pkexec. Testing in the command line indicates some kind of polkit issue. I tested the same in KDE and had no problems. I noticed in KDE there is a polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 process running. No such process in TDE, but I don't recall anything like that in previous versions of TDE. Kind of implies something in 14.1.3 changed to expect a polkit agent. On a whim I created a $TDEHOME/Autostart desktop file to launch the KDE polkit agent. I then could again launch non TDE tools as root with pkexec. Did something related change between 14.1.2 and 14.1.3? Digging further into this indicates there has for a while been a polkit-tqt and polkit-agent-tde package. I never had these packages installed and never had an issue until 14.1.3. Are these two packages now required in TDE? A simple executive summary would be a help. Thanks. :)
