Proposal: Adopt fbreader as TDE e-book reader
by Alexis PM 03 May '24

03 May '24

Hello The only e-book reader in Trinity (TDE) is kbookreader-trinity. But kbookreader-trinity seems not to be able to display a simple epub, which is the standard format for electronic books. kbookreader-trinity seems to be a software in a very early stage of development, in a sketch or draft phase. I think there is a better (faster and easier) option than spending time developing kbookreader-trinity. fbreader is a complete and lightweight e-book reader. Its only problem of this reader is that it was abandoned in 2015, just when version 1.0.0 was expected, but its original developers decided to start the development of a new non-free version. The good thing is that the source code of the original free fbreader is there, orphan, waiting to be adopted by someone. fbreader is the most complete among the existing light e-book readers, it is free software (GPL/LGPL licenses), written in C++, its integration into TDE should be easy (the source code includes GUIs in cocoa, gpe, gtk, qt3, qt4 , qtopia,...) and it already has all the main expected features so it is not need to active development of new features in order to be useful. The official source code is https://github.com/geometer/FBReader In Debian, where is without maintainer, an older version is packed, see https://packages.debian.org/fbreader Thank you so much!

Proposal: Implement OAuth in KMail
by Alexis PM 03 May '24

03 May '24

Hello I think it would be very interesting to incorporate OAuth in KMail. OAuth is required to use GMail, Outlook and other widely used email services. We are at a time when KMail may be of interest to many Thunderbird users due to the criticized interface changes that Thunderbird is implementing since Mozilla has returned to direct its development. I do not advocate the use of GMail, Outlook and similar services, but many universities are unfortunately using Outlook / Office 365 currently, I know it from people close to me and the same motivated the last email threads about OAuth: https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt… https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt… Thank you so much!

Can't add Labels to Gitea issues
by J Leslie Turriff 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

According to the TDE Wiki, I should be able to (and the template wants me to) add a Severity Level label (SL/...) to issues I create, but this seems to be disabled for my account (jlturriff); or has the Gitea interface changed since the Wiki entry was created? Please see my attachments. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64) Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

bug trackers & unfixed bug
by Felix Miata 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

Was there another bug tracker in use between http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/ and https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/issues? The reason I ask is I've been anxiously awaiting a fix for a bug I'm sure I must have reported no later than against 14.1.0, and probably earlier, but can't find a report either place, and it apparently didn't get fixed in 14.1.2 (in Bookworm at least so far). It seems to be specific to no particular distro, and I've been unable to determine how to reproduce. System sound attempts, if not by simply logging in, apparently trigger a popup window that reports: Error - artsmessage X Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting OK No sound ever accompanies it. IIRC, the only way I've ever been able to get rid of it is to remove ~/.trinity/. :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

TDE Crash Report dialog
by J Leslie Turriff 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Occasionally a TDE component crashes and produces a dialog for reporting the crash. If I fill in my email address and a description, then send it off, where does it go? Is it integrated with the TDE bug reporting system? Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64) Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.1 tde-config: 1.0

Living in /opt
by Darrell Anderson 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

Are there plans to get TDE out of /opt and back into /usr? The topic was discussed a decade ago: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934 For the past year or so that I have tried to return to TDE, I keep running into nuance issues. Things that motivate me to avoid TDE. Most of these speed bumps are caused by environment variables, mostly XDG related. I remember at the time everybody working on starttde trying to anticipate the many ways living in /opt could break and to avoid conflicts with KDE. My guess is many TDE users do not see these issues because they do not have a multi-user system with multiple desktop environments installed. Likely many to most TDE users are like other DE users -- just stick to familiar territory and ignore other DEs and potential conflicts. I think the easiest approach is renaming binaries with a tde- prefix. The MATE folks did this many years ago and continue the convention. I do not have a full TDE install, but on my system I found 30 files in /opt/trinity/bin that have the same file name in KDE. I know there are more because, for example, I do not have tdegames installed. Anyway, just curious, nothing else. Thanks.

Can't build tqt3
by darrella＠clovermail.net 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

I am unable to compile tqt3 on Slackware 15.0 64-bit. The build always fails with: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng Yesterday I thought I resolved the problem by disabling gcc visibility. Today that trick is futile. libpng-1.6.37 is installed. Any ideas?
