Time for a new thread.
I have been beating myself up hard today troubleshooting some of the TDEHW quirks I have been reporting.
I believe we have two separate problems.
One is the "eject -T dvd" command stops working as soon as a disk is inserted. From what I gather online, this is a known bug and there is a patch. I haven't looked for the patch or tested.
I verified the "eject -T" problem exists in Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 too. Thus, "eject -T" is broken one way or another.
The second problem is permissions. As root I tested Safely Remove with USB flash drives and Eject with an optical disk. The icons disappear for both, and the optical disk physically ejects. Although after the disk ejects the "eject -T dvd" command stops working until after I use the drive eject button. Then the "eject -T" command works.
I can't figure out what the permissions problem might be. I don't see any special suid permissions on any of the TDE bin files or the eject command. Could the TDEHW code cause this behavior?
Could pmount be causing this behavior? I never have used pmount before so I am a complete noob.

Slavek, did you do anything to klaptop that might have caused it to stop
working?
Thanks!

It looks like a number of Slavek's SRU updates were installed, so this is
the likely culprit. I am forwarding this message to the trinity-devel
list so that he can be made aware of the problem.

All,
I was trying to do a quick backport of the sftp kio fix to TDE 3.5.12,
however, it looks like libhpi.so from jre has changed names or disappeared
altogether. (It's not in jre or jdk 7.4)
Does anyone know if this file has been dropped from jre? Is there a patch
that will fix configure?

Tim,
I noticed the following messages in my xsession log (GIT build):
TQObject::connect: No such signal KLineEdit::textChanged(const QString&)
TQObject::connect: (sender name: 'excludeLineedit')
TQObject::connect: (receiver name: 'SMServerConfigDlg')
Investigating revealed the errors always appear when I open KControl/TDE Components/Session Manager. Further investigation revealed the likely source is tdebase/kcontrol/smserver/smserverconfigdlg.ui:240:
<connection>
<sender>excludeLineedit</sender>
<signal>textChanged(const QString&)</signal> <--- problematic string?
<receiver>SMServerConfigDlg</receiver>
<slot>configChanged()</slot>
</connection>
Should that line be TQString?
Further, in all *.ui files, should all occurrences of QString be changed to TQString?
Or, is there a build macro that is supposed to be changing those strings to TQString that is not functioning correctly?
There are many occurences of QString in many *.ui files in the full source. If these all should be changed could this be the cause of various bugs, such as What's This help tooltips no longer working in KControl?

Looks like we made it to Phoronix recently, but not in a very good light:

I don't know that there is much that can be done to improve this
situation; suggestions are welcome so long as they keep in mind the
limited developer resources available.

All,
As some of you may already know, I have recently completed a large project
to reactivate Network Manager support on TDE. The new support is part of
tdelibs, and provides a fully abstracted interface that any TDE
application can use to read and/or change network settings and states
(depending on user permissions of course!). While the only backend
currently available was written to interface with NetworkManager, other
backends could be written in the future, allowing existing application
code to leverage multiple networking management platforms.
Additionally, I have ported the old knetworkmanager application to the new
API, and significantly cleaned it up along the way. The code for this new
application is available here:
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/knetworkmanager9/
Try it out and see what you think! As always, if you like it donations
are always welcome. ;-)
