Okay, I went to the top level of my repository, ran git pull -- rebase and the result was this: git pull --rebase remote: Counting objects: 492, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (480/480) remote: Getting sizes: 105% (19/18) remote: Compressing objects: 100% (6/6) remote: Total 480 (delta 337), reused 474 (delta 337) Receiving objects: 100% (480/480), 55.07 KiB, done.

Testing udisks2 backend and polkit agent
by Serghei Amelian 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hello, For anybody who want to test my udisks2 backend and polkit agent, I prepared a live cd based on Fedora 17. The ISO image is a little to big, it needs some cleanup. The root password is "toor". http://wifimag.ro/fedora/17/livecd-wifimag-201209081703.iso http://wifimag.ro/fedora/srpms There is a repo as well, to install on an already installed fedora 17: http://wifimag.ro/fedora/17/kde3.repo Have fun :) -- Serghei

That commit is the only place in the entire GIT sources requiring a dependency on demangle.h. The only place the include is required is tdebase/kdesktop/lock/backtrace_symbols.c. Darrell

GIT change
by Timothy Pearson 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

All, I have recently blown away the history of the main TDE GIT supermodule (which does NOT contain any files, only submodule references) in order to speed up processing and downloading of that supermodule. The aforementioned history was not useful, consisting primarily of automated updates to the submodule hashes. I have, however, left the 3.5.13-sru branch and associated tags intact as there is no good way to shrink/squash them. Developers, please delete and re-download the top-level GIT supermodule. I have temporarily locked out commit access to that top level supermodule to prevent accidental merges of the old history. All other GIT modules continue to have normal read/write permissions for the TDE development team, so the impact of this should be minimal. One of the most developer-visible benefits of this change is that the TDE commits web page will now update every 6 hours instead of every 12 hours. Tim

I copied in demangle.h from Slackware's >binutils source package and all seems to be good. (tdebase >compiled successfully, anyway.) This is not a palatable solution. As mentioned, searching the web reveals that including demangle.h in binutils is not something that can be presumed. Although some distros have been patched, not all have been patched. Trinity has to build against stock distros and not kludges. I've emailed the Slackware maintainer but there is no guarantee a patched binutils is forthcoming. Can the original commit be rewritten to not use demangle.h? Otherwise the only solution is reversing the original commit. I believe that code was committed primarily as a troubleshooting aid against bug report 1288. Therefore reversing the patch should not cause any problems, but do we want to keep that code in GIT permanently, even after bug report 1288 is resolved? Darrell

I remember this bug hitting me a long time ago. The problem varied for everybody, but was path and environment variable related. For path issues we did a lot of work on fortifying the startkde/starttde script. For example, when the Trinity version of startkde/starttde is run, $TDEDIR/bin is in the search path before /usr/bin. For the environment variables the problem was KDE4 startup scripts in /etc/profile.d being sourced during login as well as the Trinity profile.d scripts. Because the underlying system has to support whichever desktop the user wants to run, one solution is to modify the system's startup scripts to only source the correct profile.d scripts rather than source every profile.d script tagged executable. My work-around was to tag all Trinity and KDE4 profile.d scripts not executable. I created a new profile.d script named zlocal.sh and in that script I sourced the appropriate profile.d scripts based upon whether starttde or startkde is being used. As 3.5.13.x and KDE4 uses the same named startkde, this still works because the Trinity version of startkde is installed to /opt/trinity/bin and not /usr/bin. To complete the circle, I use the full path in my Trinity xinitrc script such as /opt/trinity/bin//startkde rather than just startkde. Another problem is KDE4 only uses KDEDIRS and not KDEDIR. One solution then is not to use KDEDIRS in Trinity. The R14 branch should not have this problem because of the many XDG related changes (e.g., OnlyShowIn=TDE). Environment variables all have been renamed in R14 too (KDEDIR->TDEDIR, etc.). Also, a fringe wild shot, but try running the migratekde3 script against your profile directory. The script is not part of 3.5.13.1 but probably will be part of 3.5.13.2. The script is in GIT tdebase: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdebase/tree/migratekde3 Darrell

Commit 786e248c 2012-12-01 breaks tdebase in GIT
by zlists＠ns.sympatico.ca 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hi I cloned myself a copy of tde yesterday and tried to compile it on Slackware64 14.0. (I use the Slackware build scripts available at http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/sdeg/trinity_desktop.htm.) All went well until I was compiling tdebase, when it crashed and burned with: Generating tdmadmindialog.moc cd /tmp/tdebase.build/tdm/kfrontend && /usr/bin/tmoc /tmp/tdebase/tdm/kfrontend/ tdmadmindialog.h -o /tmp/tdebase.build/tdm/kfrontend/tdmadmindialog.moc /tmp/tdebase/kdesktop/lock/backtrace_symbols.c:57:22: fatal error: demangle.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Slackware does not have demangle.h (nor does an Ubuntu 12.04 that I have lying around). Is there some other package which has been added as a pre-requisite with that commit? Or is there some way to change that patch so that we don't actually need that file? Thanks. Jim

Re: [trinity-devel] Can not seem to get tqt to build.
by Darrell Anderson 08 Dec '12

>I am trying to build the git version of tqt but every time it fails >with a statement saying that tqmake was not found. Is this a bug or >do I not have a package installed that I should? There is tqt3 and tqtinterface but no tqt. To which are you referring? qt3 is maintained for historical purposes only. Don't build qt3. tqt3 must be built before tqtinterface. Those two must be built before building anything else. You mentioned using Arch. Be sure to use the build scripts provided by them. I don't know whether that helps. Darrell

Currently going through images...
by pauline martin 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

I am currently perusing ALL of the images that are in the git repo for the trinity DE. However, I have a few questions on what all is going to get renamed or changed to have a t in the front of it and I can not find a hard list of what is and is not. So far I am wondering about the following programs... note that I have never been a big desktop environment user before I switched to trinity so some of these may be obvious to you and others I may ave missed. Please, let me know if I missed anything. Okay So far I am wandering about: Kontact Konsole Kommander Are we forking qt into tqt or is it just a built-in KPPP KDCOP KnewtworkManager KNOTE KArm KAlarm Quanta Plus Kdevelop kdewallet ... I am sure there are more... and if there is a list anywhere please let me know about it. As I find specific images I plan to set up an etherpad page for the images. Pauline Martin
