Reducing xession log spew
by Darrell Anderson 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

What is a good way to address xsession log spew? Many messages are helpful for debugging, but under normal usage clutters the xsession log. The messages should be toggled by the user as needed. Some examples: [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW.... [tdeinit] PID xxxx terminated. [tdeinit] Got SETENV.... [tdeinit] xxxx is executable and not a library. Launching with exec. When I look at these messages in kinit.cpp I notice they are fprintf(stderr) messages and many are conditional, based upon #ifndef NDEBUG. Is NDEBUG a compile-time variable (meaning "No debug"), or is this variable configurable during run-time as an environment variable? What options exist to reduce this spew? Darrell

"KDE4 is running"
by Darrell Anderson 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

While tinkering with kdDebug I noticed the following message in my xsession log: KDE4 is running Um, nope, that would be incorrect. :) The message is found in tdelibs/kded/kded.cpp:165-171: TQString version = getenv( "KDE_SESSION_VERSION" ); TQStringList blacklist; if ( version >= "4" ) { kdDebug(7020) << "KDE4 is running." << endl; blacklist << "mediamanager" << "medianotifier" << "kmilod" << "kwrited"; } I'm no C++ coder but I believe the problem is 'version' is declared as a string but the test for the message is comparing a string to an integer. If I understand correctly, any non-zero value is treated as true. If KDE_SESSION_VERSION is empty then that value is not zero but null, which is a non-zero value? Possibly the comparison test should change to: if ( version != "" ) The KDE_SESSION_VERSION environment variable was introduced in KDE4 and did not exist in KDE3: http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Environment_Variables#KDE… KDE_SESSION_VERSION will be set to some value only on a KDE4/5/6 system. Otherwise the getenv function returns null/empty. All we need determine is whether the variable is set to some value. Comments? Darrell

Update KMix global shortcuts
by Slávek Banko 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hi all. I have a suggestion to set default global shortcuts in kmix to XF86AudioRaiseVolume, XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioMute. With this settings should work immediately keys on multimedia keyboards. Does anyone have any objections? Slavek --

kdebugdialog misbehaving?
by Darrell Anderson 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

When I run kdebugdialog to enable a single option, the result is that kdebugdialog creates a user kdebugdialogrc file with every option enabled. Seems to me that the resulting kdebugdialogrc file should be the same as the system default with the only difference being the single change. Would somebody please confirm this behavior? Darrell

2012.09.04: Summer Recap
by Darrell Anderson 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

The summer season (in the northern hemisphere), traditionally a time when many people shift paces to enjoy outdoor activities and traveling, begins to close. Despite this traditional change of pace the past three months, Trinity development continued at a methodical pace. From June 1 to August 31 there were 131 bug reports or enhancement requests resolved in the bug tracker (http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&chf…), as well as issues resolved through discussion in the developer's mailing list. During the past several months, many changes occurred in the upstream free/libre software world, such as changes to GCC, GLIBC, GLIB2, LIBPNG, FFMPEG, HAL, etc. Those changes occurred in rapid succession and close proximity. Resolving Trinity related issues has been challenging. The Trinity development team kept pace. The online Patches web page shows the progress of resolving those challenges: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/ As autumn knocks on the doors of life, Trinity development continues: * The 3.5.13.1 SRU (Stable Release Update) is only a few patches away from being released with official tarballs. * A slew of TDEHWLIB updates were committed to the GIT development branch. TDEHWLIB is the eventual Trinity hardware detection layer replacement for HAL, and is already able to fully replace HAL in most areas. * Network-manager improvements were committed to the GIT development branch. * Koffice, K3B, and Gwenview i18n sources were committed to the GIT development branch. * The R14 development branch was overhauled with XDG compliance updates. Trinity is now a recognized XDG environment. * Comprehensive branding overhaul. The Trinity development team has adopted a "release when ready" approach but tentatively are focused on releasing R14.0.0 in the fall of 2012. Also, the previously mentioned LDAP/Kerberos tools remain available in the TDE bounty program, with more information available on the TDE RFE page (http://www.trinitydesktop.org/crfe/#finished). The Trinity development team hopes you enjoyed your summer. Soon in the northern hemisphere the leaves will turn color and in the southern hemisphere, leaves will sprout. Please enjoy the seasonal changes and thank you for being a member of this community! --The Trinity News Team

3.5.13-sru Test [print] -> ksnapshot gesture (didn't work on last build)
by David C. Rankin 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Slavek, All, On my last 3.5.13-sru build, the input gesture pressing print-screen for ksnapshot stopped working similar to what happened with R14. Please test the latest 3.5.13-sru build and see if it still works for you. The entire issue might be a simple 'k' 't' rename issue and 3.5.13-sru may have pulled in that commit. I'll have more time this weekend to dig into it, but having confirmation on if other see it as well will help :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TDE - running without issue on 3.5.3 kernel
by David C. Rankin 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

All, A positive note. After the latest set of updates to Arch, tde 3513-sru continues to run without issue. Fingers crossed that the last of the upstream bombs have already been detonated... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TDEHW Summary
by Darrell Anderson 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Now that I have a Mounting tab I can see why we were not communicating fully in the previous thread. :-) I'm starting a new thread so we start on the same page. With that dialog enabled, I now see you are using UUIDs in mediamanagerrc. I was unable to see that previously because without the underlying code being compiled that caused the missing Mounting tab, those features of TDEHW were not working. :-) I don't know your TDEHW FIXME to-do list. So please accept my apology if I am covering topics you already know. :-) * You already know about the problem of retaining the same icon label across different physical ports. Now that I have access to device-specific mounting options, I can see that mediamangerrc contains mounting options per UUID, but TDEHW remains confused about applying icon labels. From what I think I see after multiple insertions/removals of the same device across three different USB ports, TDEHW is assigning icon labels based upon device nodes rather than UUID. You mentioned in a previous post you saw the problem in the code, so I'll watch for a patch. * Some features of the Mounting dialog are missing, which are reflected respectively in mediamanagerrc too. Here are some screenshots, the first set from a HAL system and the second set from TDEHW: HAL: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/build_logs/mounting-dialog-floppy-… http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/build_logs/mounting-dialog-usb-hal… TDEHW: http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/build_logs/mounting-dialog-floppy-… http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/build_logs/mounting-dialog-usb-tde… Missing features: Generic Mount Options: Quiet Filesystem Specific Mount Options: Flushed IO Mount as user Short names Here is a mediamanagerrc set of HAL configurations: [/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_4840_B9DA] atime=false flush=true --> Missing mountpoint=/media/buffalo_1gb quiet=false --> Missing ro=false shortname=lower --> Missing sync=false uid=true --> Missing utf8=true Here are the same UUID settings under TDEHW: [4840-B9DA] atime=false automount=true mountpoint=/media/buffalo_1gb ro=false sync=false use_defaults=false utf8=true * Safely Remove does not work. That is, using that option will unmount the device but does not remove the icon from the desktop. * Eject does not work with CDs/DVDs. * Icon appearance times remain weird, some fast, some very slow. * Does TDEHW poll floppy drives? The floppy Mounting dialog (Unmounted Floppy icon) has a check box to mount automatically, but the option does not yet seem implemented. Darrell

tdenetwork ftbfs
by Mike Howard 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

I'm attempting to build 'tdenetwork' from the latest git source but it's failing. The errors begin with; tdenetwork/kopete/protocols/groupwise/libgroupwise/securestream.h:43:22: error: QCA has not been declared I've seen this mentioned in recent list history but from what I read, it was apparently fixed. As mentioned in the posts I read, it builds successfully with; -DBUILD_KOPETE_PROTOCOL_GROUPWISE=OFF -DBUILD_KOPETE_PROTOCOL_JABBER=OFF but that is surely not the answer? I have _fairly_ recently built this but not on x86_64. Anybody any pointers? MIke. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!
