I believe users have to be a member of the lp group. Perhaps that is the root cause of the problems? Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Is there a Master List of what is Renamed k->t or k->tde?

by Darrell Anderson

>Hah - knew it. Story of my life... Be aware when you update your local repo that you have to update your build script configurations for sip4-tqt and python-tqt. Slavek and Francois snookered all of us with some patches. :) I've updated my build script environment. Copy those build scripts. The full grimy details are in bug report 1790. Darrell

We then can diff that list to R14. Darrell

That you see a list of available printers probably means CUPS is configured correctly. My printer is connected as a network device. After you share the exact steps I'll try to duplicate here.

Re: [trinity-devel] tdepowersave - continually grinding away 3.6%-6% of CPU -- confirm?

That was what I was implying when I shared that kmix and knotification- daemon were always at about 2%. I don't know whether Slavek's patch will remedy the ALWAYS problem, but we should look at all three apps for why they are consistently at the top of top. Darrell

To read the release notes, open the "Welcome to TDE" handbook and then select the "TDE Release Notes" link. Or run the following: khelpcenter help:/khelpcenter/releasenotes For new R14 users, this document appears once and once only after starting Trinity the first time in R14. Likewise for git users. Now the interesting twist: somehow kcmshell->tdecmshell slipped through the cracks and is not in the list. I'll push a patch to the docbook file. :) Darrell

Is there a Master List of what is Renamed k->t or k->tde?

by David C. Rankin

Darrell, All, Messing with tdepowersave I ran into a problem figuring out what kcmshell was called. I tried Alt+F2: kcmshell foo tcmshell foo tdecmshell foo - Bingo! That raised the question, do we have a list somewhere of what has been renamed? Some things have been renamed 'k'->'t' others 'k'->'tde' others not renamed at all. Doing 'tcmshell --list | sort' somewhat exemplifies the problem. I was thinking some khelpcenter (t,tde)helpcenter page called something like "Trinity Desktop Naming Cross-reference" that would simple provide a brief introduction that in order to avoid name conflict with KDE4, the following files and modules have been renamed: kfoo1 -> tfoo1 kfoo2 -> tfoo2 ... Absolutely falls under the 'nice to have' not 'need to have' column, but if it doesn't exist, then we may want to collect a list of obvious things that users might experience difficulty with and include those in the list. Like: kcmshell -> tdecmshell -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
