Re: [trinity-devel] about pmount and R14 new backends

I no longer have my web site running, where originally I had that documentation and build scripts. If you are interested then contact me directly off list. I don't want to offer my build scripts publicly. My build scripts are complex because I am one of the main testers for Trinity. I need flexibility with how I compile and test. That said, I would enjoy seeing somebody reduce the build scripts to a point that theoretically could become slackbuilds.org compatible. :-) As a side note, would be nice if there was somebody using 13.1 or 13.37 who could compile Trinity with HAL support to ensure that part of Trinity still functions as expected. I've gone full 14.0 here on all systems because that reduces my own time and overhead. Probably likewise for you. That said, if there were simpler build scripts (like the KDE3 scripts in Slackware 12.2) and a basic wiki (we could add such a page to the Trinity wiki), then others running 13.1 or 13.37 could test and enjoy Trinity too. :-) There are other Slackers who want to run Trinity (browse the LQ forum), but there are no wiki pages or build scripts to make that more accessible for Slackers. :-( Possibly if we work together we could make that happen?

I see the following in the xsession-error log: /usr/bin/icewm-session: /usr/bin/icewm-session: cannot execute binary file The file is chmod 755 and works fine from startx. I get a similar error message when trying to use twm: /usr/bin/twm: /usr/bin/twm: cannot execute binary file The problem affects root as well as non-root accounts. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] KDE4 is not in the TDM session list

>Wouldn't it be better to expand the TDM search paths to include >/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ then? Looks to me as though the default search paths are defined in tdebase/tdm/config.def:1931: =================================== Key: SessionsDirs Type: list Default: "/usr/share/xsessions,/var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions," TDMDATA "/sessions" User: core User: greeter-c Instance: */"/usr/share/xsessions,/var/lib/menu-xdg/xsessions," TDMDATA "/sessions" Comment: The directories containing session type definitions in .desktop format. Description: A list of directories containing session type definitions. # See <xref linkend="tdmrc-sessions"> for details. =================================== We could add /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/, but what happens when KDE4 is not installed to /usr? Or different distro maintainers install kdm/sessions to different locations? If we add search support for the default paths for KDM, then why not add the default locations for other login managers such as GDM and SliM? Seems this could get out of hand. We already supply our own session files, as do other login managers. The default search paths expands the built-in TDM list and includes known default locations. Does adding those two files cause harm? Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] KDE4 is not in the TDM session list

>Wait... As for me kdm-3.5.13 parses desktop files located in the >/usr/share/xsessions/ and displays KDE 4 session as "KDE plasma >workspace". >If r14 doesn't this is a regression. TDM recognizes /usr/share/xsessions/ in R14 too. I recall I raised that issue and was part of the testing. That said, the KDE4 session desktop files are not installed in /usr/share/xsessions/. They are installed in /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/, which is why TDM does not find the files. :) Darrell

KDE4 is not in the TDM session list
by Darrell Anderson 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

In a multi-user environment the option should be available when KDE4 is installed. All we need are some desktop files in tdebase/tdm/kfrontend/sessions. We need only copy the files from KDE4: /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma-safe.desktop /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma.desktop I tested adding the files on a system with KDE4 installed and another without. With the former the options appeared as expected and with the latter the options did not appear as expected. Comments? Darrell

Can't use IceWM with TDM
by Darrell Anderson 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

I am unable to login through TDM when the account uses IceWM. I can login with KDM (4.10.2) using IceWM. This seems to affect all accounts. No problems with IceWM when logging in from the command line and startx. No problems using TDM with other window managers or desktops, such as Xfce or Fluxbox. Anybody else experience this or confirm? Thanks. :-) Darrell
