What would it take to create a build system that can keep up to date with
Ubuntu releases, ie like the kubuntu remix Timothy used to do before it
became time consumig? I'm working on a project and want Trinity. So how can
I go about doing it?

Be kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on

Something that has long puzzled me back into the early KDE 3.x days is why the user's kmailrc config file appears in Konqueror as file type unknown.
I would be grateful for somebody shedding light on this and where in the source code that is configured.
Thanks!

The default Trinity KDM welcome message:
Welcome to Kubuntu at %n
Should be:
Welcome to Trinity at %n
The log file name should be changed to something like tdm.log to avoid conflicts with the KDE 4 KDM.
KDM defaults to using Secure Attention Key. This might cause havoc on systems not using PAM or whatever SAK is tied to. The default should be off.
I'll file bug reports against those.
More importantly for now, after disabling SAK, I am unable to login with the Trinity Login Manager. Even fails with root and AllowRootLogin=true.
The kdm.log helps very little but there are several messages such as:
QSettings: failed to open file '/tmp/0491199751/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty
Any ideas?
Slackware 13.1.
Thanks.

From the default T-Menu I can't start KWord or KPresenter. I can start other KOffice apps from the T-Menu.
I can't start either from KRunner unless I use the %u parameter. I can start either with no parameters from Konsole.
When I start KPresenter from KRunner with the same command as in the T-Menu, kpresenter %u, I receive a message box that says:
Could not open
Reason: the file does not exist.
When close KPresenter I see the following message:
The document '%u' has been modified.
Do you want to save it?
I can get both KWord and KPresenter to start from KRunner if I use the full path.
/opt/trinity/bin is the first directory in my search path.
I can get both to start from the T-Menu if I modify the menu to use full paths.
I don't see anything in the desktop files that is different from the other KOffice apps.
Can anybody else confirm this behavior? Anybody know where to troubleshoot?
Thanks.
Darrell
My main concern regarding Konqueror as a web browser is one of
security. I may be wrong, but my experience, with Slackware at least, is
that the browser is part of KDE, and that there are no security updates
for it. The only time it gets updated is when you install a new version
of KDE. Since most web browsers require updates every few weeks, or
sometimes after only a few days, I would like Trinity to have the ability
to install security updates for the web browser, just like I can with
Firefox, without having to update the whole D.E. or even the 'base' package.

Stupidity is its own reward.
And as soon as I sent the email below, my imail showed that I had just recieved another from Andrea
Cascio talking about "updated qt3 packages for openSUSE" and to Robert Xu......So I am sure
something is happening....but I'd dearly like to know "when" there could be a release.
Hi,
I realise this is sort of "out-field",but the Trinity web site has lots and lots of examples of the
packages for other distros but never one for openSUSE.
I'm not really, really a programmer but I have used openSUSE for years and I know if something wrong
is the DE or the OS......And I can fault find simple tasks and problems. Currently I am using
openSUSE 11.3 with KDE4.4.4 running in folder view and all special effects turned off. It's
remarkably fast and very, very, very stable.
Can anyone tell me when a package will be ready for openSUSE of any version ? I think Robert Xu
(if I have that name right) was working on this, but so far I have seen nothing come out - and this
is not a reflection on Robert as I am sure he has his hands overfull like the rest of you Trinity
developers.
Best wishes to you all.......I think what you are doing is great - I just want to get my hands on
Trinity while using my favourite distribution.
Kind regards
Tony

While discussing about kdm, it has been found that cmake (in kdebase)
doesn't detect the crypt function. (A patch has been sent.)
I noticed that the same function isn't detected in kdelibs, as well
than other functions (alloca and dlerror). I reported a bug for this
(http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=654).
In comparison, I also found that autoconf, in kde 3.5.10, is detecting
those functions.
That makes me think that there's probably other errors, in the cmake
configuration, in other parts of Trinity, and that it would be useful
to take a look in the whole tree of trinity.
What do you think?

Hi,
I've recently subscribed to Trinity mailing lists, and would like to introduce
myself.
As many others here, I'm a long time KDE user. I don't want to rant about the
current state of KDE4; let's just say that now I feel no more "at home" in KDE
community.
I like the ideas and spirit of the Trinity project, so I would like to offer
some help in my spare time... which is unfortunately very few. :(
But anyway, at work I maintain a minimal, server-oriented openSUSE derivate
distribution, so I know how to manage RPMs, specfiles, and building problems.
And I've also worked to projects both in C and C++ some years ago, so I hope
to contribute some bug squashing too.
I would like to help with RPM packaging for openSUSE.
In the OBS site I've found the projects by Robert Xu. Are there other efforts
or other people working on it? May I ask what is the current state, and how
can I help?
Sincerely
Andrea Cascio

Probably.
(And one more bug: I answered directly to you...
Let's go back to the list.)
