TDE licensing question
by Darrell Anderson 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

From the help handbook FAQ: All TDE libraries are available under the LGPL making commercial software development for the TDE desktop possible, but all TDE applications are licensed under the GPL. Is everything in TDE now fully GPL or do LGPL remnants remain? Darrell

Minimum hardware requirements
by Darrell Anderson 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

From the help handbook FAQ: What kind of hardware do I need to run TDE? To run TDE it is recommended that you have at least a pentium II processor, 64MB of memory and 500MB of free disk space for a basic installation. While TDE may run on slower configurations than this, performance can be severely impaired. Generally, if your computer runs an X-Server already with other desktop environments or window managers it's probably fast enough to run TDE. I have tested Trinity on a PII with 448 MB of RAM. Barely usable and requires patience. What are _realistic_ minimum hardware requirements? I'm guessing Pentium III and 512 MB of RAM. Thoughts? Experiences? Darrell

R14.0.0 Preparations
by Darrell Anderson 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

A note to everybody interested: we have an etherpad checklist to track pre-release tasks. Please help with this preparation check list and missing items too. http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/37 In the etherpad I attached a preliminary draft/template for a press release. Please add/edit as you see fit. We need help to create a list of to whom we should send an email with the final press release. Please help populate that list. Releasing R14.0.0 is a tad down the road yet, but if we peck away at these things then the final days won't be as hectic. :-) I'm looking forward to the official release! Darrell

Port gcc 4.7.1 patches into 3.5.13.1
by David C. Rankin 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

All, Also noted from the meeting, the current 3.5.13 will _not_ build on gcc 4.7.1. There is _no_ reason not to port the patches to the 3.5.13 code base. All the patches simply cleaned up the code from a syntax standpoint and will not impact it building on earlier gcc releases. The closed bug 979 holds the collection of gcc 4.7 patches that could easily be applied to 3.5.13 to make it gcc 4.7.1 compliant. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

tdesu kills klauncher
by Jay 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Pretty sure this is upstream and not distro specific. It is exactly the same as 'solved' bug number 394 but under latest git build. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394 Running tdesu (from guest console or superuser menu item) kills klauncher and nothing from tmenu or tray will launch, instead receiving the error message: "Klauncher could not be reached via dcop" Running tdeinit fixes the error. To reproduce open a guest console and run 'tdesu kwrite' then close and launch something from tray. My build is from latest git. Can someone confirm this behaviour? Regression? Kind Regards, Jay

krecord - not 'krec' -- which source does it come from?
by David C. Rankin 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Guys, Looking at 3.5.10 on suse, there is an app called 'krecord' that is a handy little sound recorder that provides a frequency spectrum and input-level monitor window. I can't figure out what source this comes from or if it is in TDE. Any ideas? Here is a screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/krecord.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Possible corrupt/unviewable images
by Darrell Anderson 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

I think I have a credible list of remaining image file candidates that are corrupt in some way or unviewable. I used find/xargs and imagemagick 'identify' to find the files. I looked for XCF/JPG/JPEG/GIF/SVG/SVGZ/PNG files. (Did I miss any formats?) Considering the thousands of image files, this is a very short list! :-) I already fixed several images using upstream sources. The first remedy was to find the original sources from upstream and hope the image files there were not corrupt. I have exhausted that search. I'll leave to the image experts regarding the best way to repair, if at all. Darrell ================================ SVG/SVGZ: identify: no decode delegate for this image format `./tdegraphics/ksvg/test/tiger.svg' @ error/svg.c/ReadSVGImage/2815. applications/tdesvn/src/pics/hisc-action-tdesvnaddrecursive.svgz ('identify -verbose' stalls with this image; opens in gwenview without incident; opens in karbon but incompletely; definitely something awry) ================================ PNG: (These images are no longer found upstream.

Supporting ruby-1.8.7
by Darrell Anderson 29 Jun '12

Is anybody supporting Trinity in a distro still using ruby-1.8.7? Do we still need to support ruby-1.8.7 in our patching efforts? Darrell

Need German user help
by Darrell Anderson 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

I am fixing corrupt image files in the Trinity sources. There is one corrupt file in the German tde-i18n sources: tde-i18n/tde-i18n-de/docs/tdeedu/kvoctrain/verb-query-dlg.png Most of the image is viewable such that I hope somebody fluent in German can recreate the image. The default English screen capture (for comparison): tdeedu/doc/kvoctrain/verb-query-dlg.png I checked this image from 3.5.10 to 3.4.1. All are corrupt in the same way. The best way to restore the image is to take a new screen grab. Would somebody fluent in German please run kvoctrain and screen capture the image? Thank you! Darrell.
