tdmrc BootManager support for Grub2 ??
by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Tim, All, Since grub is dead upstream and movement is toward grub2, how will this be supported in tdm? Currently Grub and Lilo are the only boot managers supported. Has anybody looked to see what is needed to add Grub2 support? This will affect the shutdown dialog options to restart "Select bootloader". It looks like the main differences will be to parse /boot/grub/grub.cfg instead of /boot/grub/menu.lst. In grub, the menu.lst file was formatted like: # comment title root kernel initrd savedefault # comment for chainload title rootnorverify makeactive chainloader savedefault Under grub2 grub.cfg, you have something like: ### comment ### menuentry 'New Title' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-core repo kernel-true-a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715' { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='hd0,msdos5' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos5 a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 fi echo 'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=a625b429-6143-459c-a57c-6c5bba56d715 ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img } So for grub2 it looks like you will parse for 'menuentry' 'set root' in order to pass that information to grub2 for restart. Anybody looked into this yet? Do we want to open a feature request on it? (for those not using grub2 yet -- just wait :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Renaming sound files?
by Darrell Anderson 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Many sound files are named with a KDE_* prefix. Everything works as is and there is no requirement to rename the files. Yet in the spirit of renaming for branding purposes, should we rename those files to TDE_*? There are two packages that contain the files: tdebase and tdeartwork. Renaming and updating the respective make files is straightforward, as is updating 11 default eventsrc config files in other packages in the source tree. A remaining challenge is updating existing user profile eventsrc config files to use the renamed files because existing eventsrc config files will be referencing sound files with the KDE_* prefix, which no longer would exist. Currently we have no mechanism to update profile eventsrc files. We can write a new shell script to perform the updates. The new script would be called by the migratekde3 and called once from within starttde, like the r14-xdg-update script. Or embed the updates in the migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update scripts. The renaming would be R14 only and not expected to be backwards compatible with 3.5.13 sru. Comments? Darrell

3.5.13-sru, .xsession-errors, kdeinit Could not load library! Trying exec....
by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Tim, Slavek, After receiving a error message that knotify crashed (see: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/3513-knotifyCrash-disable-aRts.…), I begin checking the .xsession-errors file. The are a number of errors 'Could not load library! Trying exec....' This may be normal, but I want to confirm whether there is a problem here or not.

There may be a couple of lingering 't' 'k' issues that need fixing somewhere. Any help appreciated. Also, if there is some way to turn up logging in tde, let me know. I recall that there is a way to turn up what goes in xsession-errors, but I'm drawing blanks this morning :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

konqueror - filemanager - context menu - "Open As Root" "Edit As Root"
by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

All, Looking into why the tdm display manager themes are not displaying, I needed to open many files as root. It would be really helpful to have a context menu item for files that is something like "Open As: " or "Edit as: " where you can choose the user to open the file under. This just saves having to type tdesu filename on the cli. Is there already something like that that can be included in tde? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

3.5.13-sru, .menu file install change (prevents kde4 conflict)??
by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Tim, Slavek, Francios, One conflict with kde4 and 3.5.13-sru is the install of .menu files in /etc/xdg/menus (I think by tdebase). I have two ideas. Either are OK if they will work: (1) cherry-pick the commit that changes the names of the menu files from kde-xxx.menu to tde-xxx.menu for sru. E.g.: etc/xdg/menus/tde-information.menu etc/xdg/menus/tde-screensavers.menu etc/xdg/menus/tde-settings.menu etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/tde-essential.menu The problem here is I don't know how much else in the code has to be changed along with this. OR (2) Install all kde-xxx.menu files to $TDEDIR/etc/xdg. I don't know if this will work, but my installs already put the following files in /opt/trinity/etc opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu opt/trinity/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu-no-kde If putting kde-information.menu,kde-screensavers.menu,kde-settings.menu, and tde-essential.menu in /opt/trinity/etc/xdg will work, I think we can just make a change in tdebase TDESetupPaths.cmake. It looks to me like tdelibs/kded installs the applications menu in /opt/trinity/etc while tdebase installs the rest of the menus in /etc. If we can do either (1) or (2), that will eliminate an install confict with kde 4.9. What say the experts? Can we do something like this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Qt3-3.5.0 works fine in 3.5.13-sru
by David C. Rankin 11 Aug '12

Tim, All, I have built and tested (to a fair extent) Qt3-3.5.0 in tde 3.5.13-sru. It has worked without issue so for. Good deal :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Possible to change install location from /opt/trinity to /opt/tde locally?
by David C. Rankin 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

Tim, Is there an easy global sed I could run during packaging that would change the ${prefix} to /opt/tde without running into hard-coded issues? I know I can set ${prefix}, but I don't know how many places look for /opt/trinity by default. If it's not worth the trouble, then "It's not worth the trouble" is all I need to know :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

StartPage supports konqueror in TDE (kuddos to startpage)
by David C. Rankin 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

All, We need to add startpage (doesn't record IP for searches) to konqueror web shortcuts for R14 and 3.5.13-sru code. Checking, I was surprised to see that StartPage now publishes full support for konqueror and recognizes it in TDE right off the bat. Just visit startpage.com and a link is automatically provided to: You can now easily add Startpage to your Konqueror browser. To add Startpage as web shortcut to your konqueror browser follow below Instructions. Instructions: 1. Goto "Settings" in the Konqueror menu of your Browser. 2. Then Select "configure konqueror..". 3. Then choose "Enhanced Browsing or Web Shortcuts" from the sidebar on the left, and you will get a nice long list of shortcut. 4. Click "New" button. 5. Enter 'Startpage' in Search Provider "Name:" * 6. Enter 'http://startpage.com/do/search?query=\{@}' in "Search URI:". 7. Enter your own shortcuts e.g: 'ix,ixq,startpage' in "URI Shortcuts:". 8. Click OK. After following these instructions, you're ready to search: just enter "ix:" and press Enter! * Note: the original instruction suggest 'ixquick.com' as the search domain, but I prefer the startpage.com domain. You can also select StartPage as your default search provider after adding it above. Then your search box in the middle of your home page as well as the little search window in the top right will use it for search. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

API/ABI change
by Timothy Pearson 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

All, This is just a heads up to let you know that the TQt3 (and Qt3) style APIs have changed. All reliant code has also been updated in GIT as of this writing, so this should not affect anyone beyond requiring a full rebuild of TQt3 and TDE. There will be another (smaller) change to the API coming in the next week or two as well. These changes primarily wean the TQt3 style API off of direct usage of TQWidget classes in order to allow the development of style engines for other toolkits, as well as to allow TQt3 to use another toolkit's style engine if such an interface were to be developed in the future. They do not remove functionality. Tim
