Hey folks, I've been working on adding a feature to twin which will allow us to do Mac like switching. This has already been a boost in my productivity since completing the patch For those unfamiliar with the concept, on an Apple computer, they have ALT+Tab and ALt+`. Alt tab functions similarly to ours, but the really good feature is the ALT+`. It allows you to switch between windows of the same application. Instead of having to scroll through a many different applications, you just see the ones on the same type. Example: you want to switch to the Firefox "download" window, and you are currently focused on your main firefox window. A quick Alt+` will switch you back and forth between two, like Alt+Tab operates, to see the tab box hold down Alt+` to view of the same type, and switch between multiple ones you then do the regular old Alt+Tab. I hope I didn't ramble to much, but it's an very useful feature! Just try it out and see! I have attached the patches to the bug tracker. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=869 Calvin

Any recent installations of TDE to Ubuntu Oneiric?

by Mark S Bilk

Has anyone installed TDE to Ubuntu Oneiric in the last few days? A friend is having trouble doing it. Some packages are not getting installed, such as kdm-trinity. He is following the instructions here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#ubuntu

Finding "KDE"

by Darrell Anderson

When any TDE command is run in a terminal with the --help parameter, something like this appears: Generic options: --help Show help about options --help-qt Show Qt specific options --help-kde Show KDE specific options --help-all Show all options --author Show author information -v, --version Show version information --license Show license information -- End of options Options: ... ... The first section is generic and common to all apps. I want to update the "Show KDE specific options" string for branding to "Show TDE specific options." My challenge: I can't figure out where "KDE" is assigned. The common generic help strings are defined in tdelibs/tdecore/kcmdlineargs.cpp. Line 828 shows this: TQString desc = i18n("Show %1 specific options").arg(args->name); Thus KDE is a string parameter. Where is "name" defined? In one of the included headers, but which one and what is an intelligent way to find that assignment? Thanks. Darrell

(T)Qt3 Questions

by Darrell Anderson

1. Are the (T)Qt3 bin files used only during compiling or are they used during run-time as well? 2. Is there a configuration option to not build the html files? I do not notice anything obvious. I have been deleting the files in my build script after completing make because they add 5MB+ to the package size. (I don't want to strip the files into a separate package.) 3. Have the html files been updated to include changes/additions made in the Trinity versions? Thanks! Darrell

First report: TSAK/TDM related issues

by Darrell Anderson

Rebuilt with latest three tdebase patches. I did not build tdebase with DBUILD_TSAK=OFF. After setting tdmrc:useSAK=true using KControl and verifying tdmrc updated: I do not see a Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog. Ever. I do not see any pipe/socket files anywhere. tdesocket-global is empty of any files. tdesocket-global has root:root ownership. I both restarted the X server and rebooted. No change. Same results as listed. I don't know what I should see or when. When should I see the Ctrl-Alt-Del dialog? When and where should I see pipe/socket files? Darrell

Application NOT respecting 'System Administration -> Paths' setting in kcontrol

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, I don't like the default ~/Documents folder, so on my installs I always set 'System Administration -> Paths' (Document Paths:) to just /home/david. I've done that in tde, but then with every app I open (kate, kwrite, etc..) when I select 'open' it defaults to looking in the /home/david/Documents folder. It looks like tde is ignoring the setting. Anybody else see this in the latest GIT builds? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

python-tqt, python-trinity on 64-bit

by Darrell Anderson

I'm missing something obvious, but I can't get these packages to build on 64-bit. They can't find $PREFIX/lib64. I appreciate help. Darrell

Deb users - where do I find this patch? (wanted for kmplayer fix)

by David C. Rankin

Where can I find a link to this patch I need to look at to get an idea on a kmplayer patch: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/g/gopchop/current/changelog I need a link to: gopchop (1.1.8-5) unstable; urgency=low * Add patch to support build with gcc 4.7 (Closes: #667188) * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes). -- tony mancill <tmancill(a)debian.org> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 04:44:31 +0000 I keep going in circles in the debian package pages. Before contacting the maintainer, I thought I would ask our debian users where to look for it... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kmplayer - 'xine_gui_send_vo_data ' deprecated (GONE) from xine-lib - what to do?

by David C. Rankin

All, Looking at getting kmplayer built and I'm running into function that are so deprecated, they have been dropped from xine-lib/xine-ui - What to do here? Look at finding a compatible newer version of kmplayer that isn't that old that can replace the GIT source and build in todays world? How do these type issues get fixed? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

plan for dealing with fixing gcc47 '-fpermissive' requirement? What's usually involved?

by David C. Rankin

All, What is usually involved in updating the packages to get rid of the '-fpermissive' build flag requirement brought on by gcc47? What do you look for? Just remove '-fpermissive' and build over and over fixing along the way or is there a better way? By my count, the following packages require '-fpermissive' with gcc47: amarok digikam kaffeine kipi-plugins kmplayer (other issues as well) koffice (still requires libpng15 fixes) krusader python-tqt rosegarden tdeadmin tdebase tdeedu tdegames tdegraphics tdepim Those are just those out of the packages I have built. There are probably others as well. Any suggestions? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
