sftp-kio status? sftp:// currently gives "Error encountered talking to ssh"
by David C. Rankin 05 May '11

05 May '11

Tim, Serghei, Robert: What is the latest on restoring sftp://host:port/path/to/file/ capability in TDE? It broke in KDE3 some time ago. Particularly where 'port' is a non-standard port. In Trinity you still get the error: Error encountered while talking to ssh My understanding is there was a complete re-write of the code that handles this taking place -- any word on how that is coming? fish:// continues to work in Trinity, but sftp should be working before the 3.5.13 release. What say the folks in the know? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Troubleshooting Run Time Crashes
by Darrell Anderson 04 May '11

04 May '11

What is the best way to troubleshoot run-time crashes? Do the packages have to be built a certain way? I've read about backtraces, core dumps, and using gdb. I'm no programmer, so what is the best way for me to troublesoot? In particular, I am running KDE 3.5.10, recompiled for Slackware 13.1. KMail always now crashes whenever I try to do anything with the composer window (save as draft, send, etc.). Boom. Just disappears. Almost as if I had started KMail with the --compose option. The app disappears and I have to restart KMail. The funny thing is the message gets stored in the Outbox. I want to troubleshoot in case this bug carries over to Trinity. Thanks. Darrell

-fpermissive for CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS is it needed now -- why?
by David C. Rankin 04 May '11

04 May '11

Tim, Serghei, All: I ran into an earlier build error with amarok that indicated a '-fpermissive' problem, so I added the flags Baho had set in other files that let amarok build further until I hit the undefined reference to `Amarok::aboutData' error. Why the new need for: CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}" -fpermissive" CXXFLAGS=${CXXFLAGS}" -fpermissive" in the build? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Arch Builders, I have created the PKGBUILD for the Amarok dependency libnjb and have it available if anyone needs it: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/dep/libnjb.tar.gz cmake option: -DWITH_NJB=ON \ -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kdebase - ~/.kde/share/config - 2 files installed owned by root?
by David C. Rankin 04 May '11

04 May '11

Guys, There were 2 files installed owned by root:root in user ~/.kde3/share/config: -rw------- 1 root root 221 Mar 5 09:34 kcmshellrc -rw------- 1 root root 147 Mar 5 09:34 kfontinstuirc The remaining files were all owned by the normal user. Does this need to be fixed in svn? I can't think of any reason packaging would have caused this issue. Also, kcontrol does not launch from the "kmenu -> Settings -> Control Center" entry any more. Launching from the command line with 'kcontrol' works fine. This is on x86_64. I haven't tried on i686 yet. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kdevdesigner/designer/kdevdesigner_part.cpp:563:33: fatal error: kdevdesigner_part.moc
by David C. Rankin 04 May '11

04 May '11

Serghei, The kdevelop build is failing on the last line of kdevdesigner/designer/kdevdesigner_part.cpp with the #include "kdevdesigner_part.moc" The error generated is: kdevdesigner/designer/kdevdesigner_part.cpp:563:33: fatal error: kdevdesigner_part.moc Does this need to be fixed in the code, or is it a build error on my end? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Attn Tim: New Patches
by Darrell Anderson 03 May '11

03 May '11

Tim, Here are a bunch of patches I don't think have been merged into Trinity. http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/trinity/patches/ I checked them against svn (my head hurts!). I might have missed a few because of the changes to run through tqtinterface, but not many if I did. Some of them will need to be converted to using TQT. I found these patches while building KDE 3.5.10 on Slackware 13.1. There were many more patches, but those I did not post have been merged into Trinity. There are quite a few patches against qt3. Several apps include patches for libpng 1.4. Darrell

Arch - kdebase packaging - install versus cp + chmod?
by David C. Rankin 03 May '11

03 May '11

Baho - and others interested in packaging specifics, In the kdebase PKGBUILD, I handled packaging of kdmrc and the Xsession file as follows: # set kdm directory _kdmdir=${trinity_prefix}/share/config/kdm [[ -d ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} ]] || install -d -m755 ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} # install kdmrc [[ -f kdmrc ]] && install -m644 kdmrc ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} # update the Xsession file [[ -f Xsession ]] && install -m755 Xsession ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} # create the starttrinity link [[ -d ${pkgdir}/usr/bin ]] || mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin cd ${pkgdir}/usr/bin ln -sf /opt/trinity/bin/startkde starttrinity You handled it slightly differently, primarily using cp and chmod instead of install and adding the 'n' option to the link of starttrinity: _kdmdir=${_prefix}/share/config/kdm [[ -d ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} ]] || install -d -m755 ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} [[ -f kdmrc ]] && cp -v kdmrc ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} [[ -f ${scrdir}/Xsession ]] && { cp -v ${scrdir}/Xsession ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir} chmod 0755 ${pkgdir}/${_kdmdir}/Xsession } [[ -d ${pkgdir}/usr/bin ]] || mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin ln -snf startkde ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/starttrinity What is the benefit of using cp + chmod instead of 'install -m'? Also, why the 'ln -snf' on starttrinity instead of just 'ln -sf'? Just habit or convention? On both, I'm just curious. If the cp + chmod is less problematic, then that's the way I want to go, but I don't want to just dismiss the use of install without understanding the benefit. What says the master? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
