HDAPS applet.
by Calvin Morrison 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

hidey-ho neighbors! HDAPS is a hard drive monitoring system created by IBM for thinkpad laptops to protect them in case of dropping/falling/whatever. There was a KDE3 applet called khdapsapplet [0] which would show the status of the system. I think this is a good candidate for inclusion/porting to trinity. Trinity seeks to be a desktop environment for serious users and enterprise environments, and thinkpad also targets that very market. This is a utility that could be employed by those users who use thinkpads and trinity desktop (which is a very logical combination). I would be willing to do the work on this to possibly get it included in R14 or later. I will be busy all summer however. What do you guys think?

automake 1.12 - removes support for 'AM_C_PROTOTYPES'
by David C. Rankin 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Tim, All, Just a general heads up. automake 1.12 removes support for AM_C_PROTOTYPES. We will need to grep the GIT tree to see if this impacts TDE. If the code still relies on AM_C_PROTOTYPES, then any automake build will fail with: configure.in:22: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed /usr/share/aclocal-1.12/protos.m4:12: AM_C_PROTOTYPES is expanded from... configure.in:22: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 The solution is simple, just delete the AM_C_PROTOTYPES reference. I haven't had time to check yet, but I thought I would pass it along. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hey, our development page [0] is no longer correct. It says "patches from SVN" it should say "patches from GIT". Calvin [0] http://trinitydesktop.org/development.php

Tim: Qupzilla on Trinity?
by Darrell Anderson 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Tim, Qupzilla is a light weight web browser written in C++ using Qt4. Is this the type of app that should build on Trinity using the TQt3 interface layer? http://www.qupzilla.com/ Darrell

Request for help and testing
by Darrell Anderson 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

We have in the sources a shell script that updates a user's profile configuration files to be compatible with the recent R14 XDG changes. The script is installed to $TDEDIR/bin/r14-xdg-update. The script is called once from starttde and thereafter is not run again from starttde. The wcript can be run manually at any time by passing the "force" parameter at the command line. If you look at the script you will see some "TODO" comments. There probably are other TODO items that I have not considered. This script does a good job against its original intent but needs further testing. No user in this team uses Trinity in the exact same way. Therefore robust testing and improvements to the script are needed to cover unforseen corner cases. We need to find bugs and oversights before we move into release candidate status for R14.0.0. Please remember the script is only for R14 and cannot be tested in with 3.5.13 or 3.5.13.1. Using the script in those releases will break the user's profile. Testing the script can be performed only with R14. Thanks much! Darrell

Odd KMail messages in xsession log

I notice the following messages in my xsession log when I start KMail: [tdeinit] kmail is executable and not a library. Launching with exec. TQObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments KMFolderMgr::msgRemoved(KMFolder*,TQ_UINT32) --> KMMsgIndex::slotRemoveMessage(TQ_UINT32) TQObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments KMFolderMgr::msgAdded(KMFolder*,TQ_UINT32) --> KMMsgIndex::slotAddMessage(TQ_UINT32) TQObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments KMFolderMgr::msgRemoved(KMFolder*,TQ_UINT32) --> KMMsgIndex::slotRemoveMessage(TQ_UINT32) TQObject::connect: Incompatible sender/receiver arguments KMFolderMgr::msgAdded(KMFolder*,TQ_UINT32) --> KMMsgIndex::slotAddMessage(TQ_UINT32) Do the messages mean a bug?

Nightlies & migration handling (k->t )
by Julius Schwartzenberg 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi all, Some migration issues that still seem to be there: Renaming issues with system directories. Two I ran into: /etc/trinity/kdm -> /etc/trinity/tdm /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm -> /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm Often both directories exist with different files being placed in different directories. The configuration files mainly look for files in the kdm variants of the directories. I can imagine that kdm/tdm is not the only program that needs attention. I also still haven't seen the r14 user profile migration script on Ubuntu. I'm not sure how things are planned exactly now, but I suppose there should be a second script that can be used to perform and diagnose the KDE3->TDE migration on a system level. Best regards, Julius
