Updating svgz images
by Darrell Anderson 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

A while ago we updated several wallpaper svgz images. How did we do that --- what software was used? I updated several png images in GIT hash 49c4ccfe to fix some branding. I would like to update a related svgz, but I don't how. The specific file to update: tdebase/kcontrol/pics/crsc-app-background.svgz. View tdebase/kcontrol/pics/cr128-app-background.png in the latest GIT to see how I updated that image. The svgz should look the same. Thanks! Darrell

Reducing menu clutter with KDE4
by Darrell Anderson 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

I'm looking for help with reorganizing the TDE menu when TDE and KDE4 menu are installed concurrently. In a word: clutter. I'm getting ready to push a huge patch set that will help liberate TDE using our own XDG registrations. That effort will help avoid potential conflicts with KDE4. More to come about that patch set (refer to bug report 892), but the patch is looking very good at the moment. A while ago I filed bug report 977 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=977). Please read the bug report to understand the goal of moving the KDE4 menu items. I want to create a separate KDE4 top-level menu and let the KDE4 menu appear there. Although KDE4 apps are uniquely identified with a "[KDE4]" text marker in the menu (created in tdelibs/kio/kio/kservice.cpp), when TDE is installed concurrently with KDE4 there is nonetheless some serious menu clutter. Moving KDE4 menus to their own location would reduce that clutter. Moving allows TDE to display its own set of apps. Users decide which version of duplicate apps they prefer, but moving the KDE4 menu establishes that the user is running TDE. I'm thinking with the upcoming patch set that moving the KDE4 menus probably is doable. Now is a good time to test this while I finalize testing for the upcoming patch set. I have nominally tested adding a <Not><Category>KDE<Category></Not> set to prevent KDE4 items from appearing in a menu category. That removes the KDE4 items from the main TDE menu and reduces clutter. I'm struggling to get the KDE4 menu to appear by itself in the top level. Basically I want to merge /etc/kde/xdg/menus/applications.menu into the TDE applications.menu. I appreciate any help. Thanks! Darrell

Installing KDE3 and Trinity concurrently
by Darrell Anderson 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Is anybody installing KDE3 and Trinity concurrently? Specifically, both desktops are installed to the same partition set and as appropriate for the respective distro, users can select between either desktop environment? This requires installing both desktops in different locations, such as /usr and /opt/trinity, or /opt/kde3 and /opt/trinity. I run both desktops and use KDE3 often to compare/debug Trinity issues. I do this with a separate installations and virtual machines. I would enjoy being able to install both desktops to the same partition set, but I run into serious menu problems that I haven't resolved. Being able to run one user in Trinity and another user in KDE3 for testing would be much better than using a VM (VMs have some limitations). Thanks much. Darrell

"What's This" fails in KControl?
by Darrell Anderson 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Latest GIT. Would somebody confirm whether the "What's This" tooltips work in KControl? Simply "right-click" on a check box text string. A popup should appear with the text string "What's This?" and when selected, a tooltip help string appears. The "What's This" tooltips work correctly when I start a KControl module from the minicli or from the TDE Settings menu. They don't work when I try to use them in the full KControl. Thanks. Darrell

Bug 979 - NOT fixed - kwrite/kate still locks up tight when built on gcc 4.7 (todays sources and gcc 4.7.0-6)
by David C. Rankin 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

Tim, The kwrite crash detailed in bug 979 is NOT fixed. I rebuilt everything today with updates on both Arch and TDE current through today. The behavior is exactly the same as before. I don't know what Fedora did to get around the crash, but it is still there. It may be gcc, but I'd bet it is non-standard compliant code in TDE that was exposed by the stricter interpretation by gcc 4.7. I'll reopen 979, but I'm at a loss at what else to do.

Keyboard handling, compose key broken in Trinity nightlies
by Julius Schwartzenberg 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi Tim and others, Is there significant development going on regarding keyboard handling or maybe character handling? I'm a bit surprised, because I didn't know this depended on the toolkit, but with the current nightlies, I'm unable to use my compose key to compose characters in any Trinity application. In Qt4 and GTK applications (within Trinity), the compose key works correctly. In the past, this worked without issues in Trinity as well. I can imagine this is not noticed by everybody quickly, I myself need to use compose a lot to type in foreign languages. Let me know if I can help with reproducing/solving this. Best regards, Julius

Speaking of component version numbers
by Marvin L Jones 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Trinity 3.5.13 I have seen several konqueror updates recently (via Slavek's PPA.) But, konqueror's Help > About konqueror reports: "Konqueror 3.5.10 (using Trinity 3.5.13.1)" Is it truly still konqueror 3.5.10 from back in the 2009-2010 days? Has it just been bug fixes until now? Or, has the Help > About konqueror text never been updated. Thanks, Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ 38.238N 104.547W | config.com | DM78rf | SK

Anyone building tde on box with systemd init?
by David C. Rankin 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

All, Arch is switching to systemd init. I don't know if this will have any impact on TDE, but older versions have dependency conflicts due to the packages that have been removed (heimdal from krb5, etc...) Not all systemd related, but I wonder what other init or sysv dependent packages will need to be fixed for systemd -- hopefully none at all, but I don't know enough to knnow. So what do the TDE gurus say? Is there anyone building/running on a systemd box currently? If not, what problems has anyone heard of caused by systemd (more importantly -- and known tde specific impacts related to systemd. Issue/No Issue? Gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Nightlies on Ubuntu Precise, some bugs
by Julius Schwartzenberg 30 May '12

30 May '12

Hi, I just upgraded to the nightlies on Ubuntu Precise. Some issues I noticed: The python-sip package has incorrect 'provides'. Instead of: Provides: python2.7-sip, sip-api-7.0, sip-api-7.1 It should be: Provides: python2.7-sip, sip-api-8.0, sip-api-8.1 The shortcut to open the process list, ctrl+esc does not work. It is set up correctly according to the keybindings configuration. When looking at the process table in ksysguard, the table just keeps flashing. It's impossible to actually use ksysguard to kill a program. Should I report these bugs (or other problems like this)? I tried everything both with my normal user and with a new test user (clean homedir). Best regards, Julius
