Backporting commit 1f39650
by Slávek Banko 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi. I tried to include 1f39650 commit[1] to QT from Trinity 3.5.13. Compilation went without problems. But after installing an updated version of QT began to fall almost all programs. Please, you have some advice? 1f39650 depends on a previous commits? Should I report it as a separate bug? Backtrace attached... [1] commit 1f39650: [Qt3] Initialize Qt X11 When threading threading is enabled This closes Bug 812 Slavek --

krandrtray executable not being builtstrinity-devel@lists.pearsoncomputing.net
by Jay 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

After compiling both tdelibs and tdebase i found that the krandrtray (or trandrtray perhaps) executable is not being built and placed in /usr/bin. The libraries (libtrandr.so.4 ) appear in place. Is anyone else seeing this? Jay

koffice issues
by Jay 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild The wiki states: The libwv2.la file provided upstream is broken with respect to automake and will cause automake to fail. Basically, /usr/lib/libwv2.la is missing a proper header statement. This should be patched when creating the wv2-0.4.2 package. I built the latest wv2 source using cmake. When using this package, koffice build fails at libwv2.la (as mentioned). Does this need patching for cmake too? If so where does one find the patch? Koffice crashing after opening template. When i start some of the koffice apps (kword, kspread) they crash after opening the default template. Removing the %u from the .desktop files and provding the full path to the executable seems to work for me. slackware-13.37 (everything installed in /usr with no KDE4). Jay

Need translation help
by Darrell Anderson 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

I am revising and updating the Trinity documentation. In tdebase/khelpcenter/plugins/ is a desktop file named userguide.desktop. That file is used to create the table of contents in the Help Center. Although minor, the file is inconsistent with terminology used everywhere else in TDE. AS IS: Name=KDE Users' Manual CHANGE TO: Name=TDE User Guide Changing KDE to TDE is straightforward as well as changing the English text. The challenge is updating all of the other languages to "TDE User Guide." If somebody wants to help with the documentation and is familiar with using various language translation tools, would you please consider updating this file? I would be much grateful for the help. Thank you! Darrell

Qt4 tools compatibility
by L0ner sh4dou 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

I know that there were some changes in this filed with the introduction of TQt with already translated Q* objects to QT*. But I have I noticed on my system another thing having both qt3.3.8d and qt4.8.0 installed and I don't know if there are movements to resolve this. Qt provides set of tools that enable creation of qt-based applications. Those are: assistant, designer, linguist , lrelease, lupdate, moc, qmake, qtconfig, uic. Those are provided both by qt4 and our qt3. If I have both of the qt versions installed and I try to run one of those applications, only the qt4 versions are launched, and I am unable to launch qt3 ones unless i specify full path to them as command. That may be because I installed qt4 as second, and if I were to install it first and then qt3 then I'd be able to start only those provided by qt3. If I run those commands through whereis I get: assistant: /usr/bin/assistant /opt/qt/bin/assistant designer: /usr/bin/designer /opt/qt/bin/designer linguist: /usr/bin/linguist /opt/qt/bin/linguist lrelease: /usr/bin/lrelease /opt/qt/bin/lrelease lupdate: /usr/bin/lupdate /opt/qt/bin/lupdate moc: /usr/bin/moc /opt/qt/bin/moc qmake: /usr/bin/qmake /opt/qt/bin/qmake qtconfig: /usr/bin/qtconfig /opt/qt/bin/qtconfig Obviously, if I invoke assistant, the first path is executed. As a temporary solution for my packages I create links to the qt3 tools in $prefix/bin/ and name them in the Qt3* scheme. Anyway I think those should be renamed in the TQt3 to avoid collisions with Qt4 ones.

Need artwork help
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Would one of you artists lend a hand in updating a PNG image file: tdelibs/doc/common/kde_logo.png We need to retain the same attributes (size, depth, etc.) but update the image to reflect Trinity. This image is used primarily in the web version of the help files, but is used in a few other places. When finished, please submit the updated image to bug report 694. Thanks! Darrell

K-Menu or T-Menu
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

As I revise and update the Trinity documentation, I will confront questions I can't answer, or should not answer on my own without team opinions. The documentation often refers to the K-Menu. The Trinity artwork contains a "T" button icon rather than a K. Should we refer to this button as the T-Menu? I lean toward updating all documentation to reference the T-Menu despite some of the underlying app and library names. For example, kmenueditor. Many TDE apps still use the "k" prefix and so this would not be any different. Yet I think T-Menu is more consistent with "Trinity Desktop Environment." Objections? Darrell

TDE User Guide Options
by Darrell Anderson 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Many of us who have used KDE3/TDE for many years probably have forgotten that in the T-Menu is an option named Help. The kdehelpcenter starts when selecting that menu option. The second link in the help center table of contents is to the KDE3 User's Guide, which I am updating to become the Trinity User's Guide. I propose we include a new T-Menu option just above or below the Help option with a direct link to the TDE User's Guide. To computer savvy users this new menu option might seem redundant, but the new menu option would prove useful to new users. Rather than "hard-coding" the new menu option like the Help menu, this new menu option could be an optional menu in the Panel configuration. The default Trinity desktop would have that menu option enabled. Are there any objections to this proposal? A second proposal is the default Trinity desktop includes an icon that is a direct link to the User's Guide. This could be a special "device icon" much like "My Documents," "Printers," or "Trash" that allows users to control the appearance, but the default Trinity desktop would display that icon, just like the other special device icons. Are there any objections to this proposal? Darrell
