Updating local GIT repository with switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script

by Darrell Anderson

I use the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script to update my local GIT repository. After the script displays the "Preparing $PWD for development use" message, there is an almost four minute delay before the script resumes. Is this delay normal? Darrell

I detest the idea of anything "phoning home." Therefore pinging a local gateway address is much more palatable. :-) Darrell

Does KMail start or default to offline mode when NetworkManager is not installed? Darrell

I don't see why any Trinity network-ready app should key off of networkmanager. Many people don't use that app. Online detection should be through the core network libraries or the underlying OS. I don't use networkmanager. I only use POP3/SMTP. KMail always starts in online mode, which is fine except when my router is offline, which is seldom the case. Then KMail kicks out kdialogs about not connecting. I would not mind the kdialogs not appearing at such times, but I'm not going to install networkmanager to obtain that. :-) We've had a similar conversation in enhancement request 1105: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105 Darrell

KMail - added NetworkManager support

by Serghei Amelian

Hi again, I added NetworkManager support to KMail. This patch will put KMail in offline/online mode, according to current NetworkManager state. As a side effect, KMail will be switched automatically to offline when you will suspend the machine, and to online after resume. https://github.com/serghei/kde3-kdepim/commit/0577b2e0087d6350a099778300ec3… -- Serghei

kfilereplace -> tdefilereplace

by Darrell Anderson

With the recent renaming changes kfilereplace is renamed to tdefilereplace. Yet the launcher menu still shows KFileReplace. A quick look at tdefilereplace.desktop indicates why. :-) I can update the desktop file, but there are 8 locales in the file I can't update. Should I go ahead and push the English change? Darrell

Tim: How to troubleshoot kdialog passive popups

by Darrell Anderson

Tim, A small problem that has bugged me for a while. On my HTPC I use kdialog passive popups to remind me when a TV recording starts or stops. This is helpful to me when I run XBMC because I run XBMC in full screen. Originally when I built my HTPC I used KDE 3.5.10. The popups always appeared in front of XBMC, which satisfied my intent. Through the past many months I updated the HTPC: the operating system from Slackware 12.2 to 14.0, KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity GIT, Nvidia proprietary drivers, and XBMC from 9.01 to 10.1. The popups no longer appear in front of XBMC. When I toggle XBMC from full screen to windowed mode I can see the kdialog popups, but not when XBMC is in full mode. The popups appear in front of other apps. This is not a killer problem. :-) I realize there are several variables at play, but I don't know how the kdialog mechanism works. I'd appreciate ideas for determining whether Trinity (twin?) or kdialog is the culprit. Thanks! Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Cleanup output clutter

Do you have a list of how many other >modules are affected? From the top of my local repo, I performed the following: grep -rn "\\\n\\\r" . | grep printf | grep -v sprintf The results are limited to a handful of modules: applications/gtk3-tqt-engine applications/kcmldap applications/kcmldapcontroller applications/kcmldapmanager applications/kgtk-qt3 applications/knetworkmanager8 applications/knetworkmanager9 applications/koffice applications/qt4-tqt-theme-engine applications/smartcardauth libraries/libtdeldap tdelibs/tderandr tdenetwork/wifi/kcmwifi tdepim/tderesources/caldav tdepim/tderesources/carddav I did not want to interfere with any additional work you were doing, which is why I asked rather than start patching. :-) Darrell

Cleanup output clutter

by Darrell Anderson

Slavek, I notice in the commits web page you pushed some patches to change printf statements from \n\r to \n. I performed a quick grep of the sources. There are more printf statements that use \n\r. Are you planning to update the entire source tree? Darrell
