Re: [trinity-devel] Latest upstream package support for R14.0.0
by Darrell Anderson 31 Dec '13

>Gotta love arch :) > >cups 1.7.0-2 >libpng 1.6.7-1 Thanks. :) Please let me know when you have a successfully built a full R14 package against those packages. Then I'll bump the press release to those versions. >we also have libpng12. Is R14 still dependent on libpng 1.2.x? Not that I'm aware. Over the months we have updated Trinity with several libpng version-related patches. I recall you being involved in a few of those patches. A few months ago Francois pushed some more such patches.

LibreOffice 4.1.4 build failure
by Darrell Anderson 29 Dec '13

29 Dec '13

Tim, Here is the specific LO build failure: dev/shm/tmp-libreoffice/libreoffice- 4.1.4.2/vcl/Executable_tdefilepicker.mk:18: *** gb_LinkTarget_set_include: include paths /dev/shm/tmp- libreoffice/libreoffice-4.1.4.2/vcl/inc/unx/tde do not exist. Stop. As reported, tmp-libreoffice/libreoffice-4.1.4.2/vcl/inc/unx/tde does not exist. Looking through Executable_tdefilepicker.mk, there is such a respective include directive: -I$(SRCDIR)/vcl/inc/unx/tde. There are additional references in Executable_tdefilepicker.mk to vcl/unx/kde/fpicker, which no longer exists. There is a kde directory and only one file: kdedata.hxx. Looking through the older LO Trinity patches, looks to me like the directory structure has changed in the 4.1.x series. Darrell

The latest stable is 4.1.4. We should support that. Yesterday I started trying to build LO. A dependency nightmare even after I found a good build script to start with. The 4.1.4 build halts early with failures related to TDE. I was up way too late last night and did not copy the failure message, but I am reasonably sure the failure message means we need to patch the LO 4.1.4 sources. Building LO with Trinity dialogs is going to be a never-ending shuffle to keep LO patched. Nobody upstream is going to do that or even care. Keeping LO patched falls on us. Considering that compiling needs several hours, I ask that we build LO on the server farm and then package as an rpm just like the LO folks do. All Trinity packagers then can take that standard rpm and repackage for their own distro. Building on the server farm will not be a nightly affair. Only build as needed when each new LO version is released. Perhaps two or three times a year. Building on the server farm also guarantees all Trinity packagers that LO is built correctly and provides a common method for all Trinity users to test and validate the Trinity dialogs. As the final LO package is a monster 120+ MB, to control bandwidth we could make the final package available only Trinity packagers and developers. For those who still want to build LO from source with Trinity dialogs, at the wiki we should provide a build script template, a list of required dependencies, a link to git of the respective patches for each LO release version. Right now our draft press release claim of Trinity dialog support is vaporware, at least until we can prove others can build LO successfully with the dialogs. Thoughts? Darrell

Hi Michael, Just so you know the list is not dead, but several of the main developers are Debian users. Hopefully one of them responds soon. Regarding the ISO not working, the URL looks familiar. I believe one of the Trinity community members hosts those images. At the moment I don't remember who. :( Just a note, perhaps consider installing pre R14 nightly packages rather than 3.5.13.2. R14 is real close to release and the packages are stable. Darrell

Dependency issues
by Michael Henry 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Since none of the Ubuntu isos worked, I tried installing TDE by installing an Lubuntu 12.04 cd. Install worked great, updates worked great, then I followed the instructions here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/UbuntuBinaryInsta… When I tried installing the packages, A LOT of dependency problems came up. Am I missing anything? Installing TDE has never been a pain. I'm converting a Windows user to Linux and I need this computer working. Can someone help? -- Bro.

Default Trinity R14 memory footprint
by Darrell Anderson 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I did this on three different systems, all with different hardware. I started Trinity and accepted all defaults for a fresh profile. I then exited Trinity and rebooted each machine. I logged in (command line), flushed the kernel cache, ran free, started Trinity, opened konsole, flushed the kernel cache, and ran free. The default memory Trinity footprints, which excludes the memory usage before starting Trinity and includes the native video drivers: * 111184 KB * 119536 KB * 134876 KB Notes: I did not disable apps autostarted from $HOME/.config/autostart or disable the native video drivers. Thus the first two results on old hardware are closest to the actual default Trinity R14 footprint. Darrell

>--enable-tde. TDEDIR and friends are the appropriate environment >variables to use. I downloaded the LO sources and walked through the patch stored in 'thirdparty'. As far as I can tell, the patch no longer is needed. Am I correct? Seems all that is needed is --enable-tde and as a precaution, in the build script ensure $TDEDIR, $QTDIR, $QTINC, and $QTLIB are exported to the build environment. Am I correct? There also is a --enable-tdeab option to ensure Trinity addressbook support, but I did not look into that deeply. The option might be enabled by default when --enable-tde is enabled. For a reference point, how long does LO take to compile on your systems? Darrell

[trinity-devel] Kubuntu CD not installing
by Michael Henry 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 from http://ftp.fau.de/trinity/cdimages/kubuntu/precise/tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.0… It loads up and runs perfectly. The ubuntu installer refuses to work. I try to run it and it acts like it will and then it stops. Running from the command line is the same with no errors. Any suggestions. -- Bro.
