Slackware Trinity build status
by Darrell Anderson 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Good news overall. I can build Trinity on Slackware 13.1 (gcc 4.4.4) and 13.37 (gcc 4.5.2), both 32-bit and 64-bit. I build everything but a few packages. There are nominal build issues I work around, but I can build full packages for most modules. Exceptions: * tqca, tqca-tls won't build with 64-bit (can't find $PREFIX/lib64) * python-tqt, python-trinity won't build with 64-bit (can't find $PREFIX/lib64) * tdeadmin (won't build knetworkconf) * kstreamripper FTBFS With that foundation I now can start testing against Slackware Current, which is the testing branch for the next official Slackware release. Slackware Current contains gcc 4.7. Darrell

kate - misc Naming and File Selector issues needing fixes
by David C. Rankin 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

All, While waiting on the rebuild of tdelibs and tdebase with full symbols, I was poking around in kate and came up with another couple of fixes that are needed. The first is a simple khelpcenter name change for Settings > Application > File Selector. The khelpcenter name for this section is 'The Filesystem Browser Page' instead of being the 'The File Selector Page'. It looks like there was a name change somewhere along the way that was never implemented in the help files. Looking at the other entries in the help file, they correspond fairly closely to the settings dialog. Here are some other changes for the help file needed just to dot [i]s and cross [t]s: General - Meta-Data -> Meta-Information (who knew..) crap - that's as far as I got - first time that happened - the whole desktop locked. It had been running in virtualbox since April 17 without any issue: 18:03 alchemy:~/tde/tmp/tdebasep/patches> ps aux | grep -i virtual david 14521 0.0 0.0 7788 828 pts/1 S+ 18:04 0:00 grep -i virtual david 31843 0.0 0.5 458276 20300 ?

killer taskbar background image (complements default theme)
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Guys, I wanted to make a taskbar background that really complemented the default isadora background, so I gimped one: http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/taskbar-bkg-screenshot.jpg The image for the taskbar is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/img/tde-blue-glass-kicker.png If it is liked, we can add it to the images as an alternate to those shipped by default. Let me know. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

sftp_kio - fix ssh port number read
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Tim, All, I've started a new thread to specifically look at the problem with sftp_kio not obtaining the port number to open the connection for sftp without the user manually providing it in the url. (eg: sftp://myhost:nonStdPort). This is part of bug http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=897 Tim's commit of GIT hash e72f492 fixed the ability of sftp to connect to remote hosts, but if the remote host ssh runs on a port other than 22, the connection fails due to sftp no longer getting the correct host/port pair from either the system-wide config /etc/ssh/ssh_config or the user's ~/.ssh/config. This worked correctly before the sftp bug was introduced and it continues to work for fish://, but I cannot find where the config files are read. It appears to be something read during ssh startup from the system-wide or user .ssh/config file. That is hinted to in the fish/README file: NOTE: From version 1.1.3 on, compression is no longer turned on auto- matically. You have to specify it via ~/.ssh/config or wherever your local ssh client reads its settings. The same goes for all other connection parameters. OpenSSH for example has a powerful configuration file syntax which lets you configure access differently for each host, something I do not intend to duplicate. Read the ssh_config(5) man page for details. The variable in sftp associated with the port is 'mPort', but I cannot tell where this could be set (yes, I know, just grep it, but somehow I'm getting lost in whether this is piped or cached and read somewhere rather than just declared and assigned) It appears to begin in ksshprocess.cpp with: bool KSshProcess::setOptions(const SshOptList& opts) { kdDebug(KSSHPROC) << "KSshProcess::setOptions()" << endl; mArgs.clear(); SshOptListConstIterator it; TQString cmd, subsystem; mPassword = mUsername = mHost = TQString::null; TQCString tmp; for(it = opts.begin(); it != opts.end(); ++it) { switch( (*it).opt ) { <snip> case SSH_PORT: mArgs.append("-p"); tmp.setNum((*it).num); mArgs.append(tmp); mPort = (*it).num; break; <snip> Also, both sftp:// and fish:// make use of an AuthInfo struct that references a port, but I cannot figure out how to tell what this contains: kio_sftp.cpp: // Setup AuthInfo for use with password caching and the kio_sftp.cpp: AuthInfo info; kio_sftp.cpp: info.url.setPort(mPort); fish/fish.h: /** AuthInfo object used for logging in */ fish/fish.h: KIO::AuthInfo connectionAuth; It is frustrating because it still works fine in fish, so we should just be able to look there and find it, but it is apparently not that easy either... Now regardless of how you look at it, the port information must be read from either /etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config before the ssh connection is opened because that is the only place this information exists and it is imperative that you have that connection before attempting to open a connection -- or the connection will simply be refused and fail. So this is taking place in fish somewhere and it was taking place in sftp somewhere as well -- the questions is where?? What say the experts?? I've grepped and looked until I'm blue in the face and I've exhausted what I can do. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Kdebase 3.5.13 ftbfs with GCC 4.7
by Francois Andriot 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hello, Fedora 17 is about to be released, so I'm trying to build the stable 3.5.13 version of TDE. Fedora 17 ships with GCC 4.7. I keep an eye on the ML and bugtracker to check the compiler-specific issues. Alas, I still have a FTBFS: In file included from /opt/trinity/include/dcoptypes.h:25:0, from /home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/tqt3integration/libqtkde/qtkde.cpp:25: /opt/trinity/include/dcopref.h: In instantiation of 'DCOPArg::DCOPArg(const T&) [with T = long unsigned int]': /opt/trinity/include/dcopref.h:459:2: required from 'DCOPReply DCOPRef::call(const QCString&, const T1&) [with T1 = long unsigned int]' /home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build/tqt3integration/utils/tqtkde_functions.cpp:30:95: required from here /opt/trinity/include/dcopref.h:145:27: error: 'dcopTypeName' was not declared in this scope, and no declarations were found by argument-dependent lookup at the point of instantiation [-fpermissive] In file included from /home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/tqt3integration/libqtkde/qtkde.cpp:25:0: /opt/trinity/include/dcoptypes.h:74:39: note: 'template<class T> const char* dcopTypeName(const T&)' declared here, later in the translation unit cd /home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build/kate/app && /usr/lib64/ccache/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -include tqt.h -I/home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build/kate/app -I/home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build -I/opt/trinity/include -I/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/include -I/opt/trinity/include/tqt -include tqt.h -o CMakeFiles/kwrite.dir/kwrite_kdeinit_executable.cpp.o -c /home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build/kate/app/kwrite_kdeinit_executable.cpp make[2]: *** [tqt3integration/libqtkde/CMakeFiles/qtkde-shared.dir/qtkde.cpp.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/albator/rpmbuild/BUILD/BUILD.fc17.x86_64/kdebase/build' make[1]: *** [tqt3integration/libqtkde/CMakeFiles/qtkde-shared.dir/all] Error 2 Do you have any clue ? (I repeat: this is on 3.5.13, not latest GIT) Thanks Francois

konqueror - man page viewer - which setting controls font size?
by David C. Rankin 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

All, When viewing a man page in konqueror (eg: man:/ssh_config) what controls the default size of the font displayed?? Each time I view a man page, I end up having to shrink the font size twice with: View->Shrink Font (Ctrl+-) I have compared the files in .trinity/share/config and I cannot find a persistent change. (kdeglobals, konquerorrc, etc..). Is there are setting for this that can be save in Settings->Save View Profile? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TDE applications: man pages and XPM icons
by François Andriot 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hello, I've noticed that the Debian/Ubuntu packaging for TDE applications often adds a man page and a XPM icon. Would'nt it be better if these files were included with the source code, and automatically installed by "make install" ? It would avoid the effort for each distribution packaging to deal with these files ... Francois
