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

Tim: tdebase FTBFS
by Darrell Anderson 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Tim, I have the latest sources, updated this morning. I started a clean full package set starting with tqt3. The FTBFS: /dev/shm/tdebase/kcontrol/hwmanager/devicepropsdlg.cpp:784:85: error: no matching function for call to 'TDEStorageDevice::mountDevice(TQString&, TQString&, TQString*)' 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

TDEPowersave
by Darrell Anderson 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Anybody using TDEPowersave? I can't seem to get the app to send the laptop to sleep mode (suspend-to-ram). The screen blanks but the laptop does not enter sleep mode when the sleep/suspend timer expires. The moment I execute any user event, such as move the mouse or touch the keyboard, then TDEPowersave goes into sleep mode. Darrell

I should have added that I can send the laptop to sleep mode using Fn-F4, closing the lid, and even with the TDEPowersave popup menu option. Darrell

If you split tdehardwaredevices.cpp please post a note here in the list so we are aware during rebuilds. :-) Darrell

I don't pretend to understand the programming reasons cited above. Yet seems to me this topic needs to be discussed here. I've probably done the most user testing with Tim. I've been using GIT pre-R14 for many months and I am not seeing any serious problems with tdehwlib. Whether the sources need to be moved to a separate module ultimately gets decided by Tim as he is the owner of that code. Even if Tim wants to move tdehwlib to a separate module, I vote not to do that until after R14.0.0 is officialy released. Simply because we have enough on our plate right now to get R14.0.0 out the door. Although we are planning regular maintenance updates for R14.0.0 (R14.0.1, R14.0.2, etc.), ABI changes mean a bump in the second part of the version number: R14.1.0. There is no reason we can't do that as long as there is consensus that is what we want to do. Just my two cents. :-) Darrell
