"...error setting up inter-proocess communications for TDE
by Felix Miata 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_m7ncd_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" These messages pop up twice at each attempt to start a TDE session, then the attempt aborts, regardless whether sessuib start attempt is via TDM or startx. This is hardly the first time I've encountered this. What is the usual cause? 32 bit Bullseye & trinity-sb. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/TDE/xsession-errors -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Finding apps in gitea workspace…
by Stefan Krusche 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Dear developers, every now and then I would like to add an issue in gitea workspace. But I find it hard to find particular apps. For example, I would like to add an issue for kweather (what I reported earlier on tde-users) but when I enter "kweather" in the search field it tells me that it didn't find any repositories. What's the way to go from here? How could I find out in which of all those sub repositories kweather resides? To get more familiar with this gitea workspace probably would motivate me to contribute to it more often. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

Email addresses for teams
by Slávek Banko 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi all, I have one easier topic to discuss. We already have several cases where it would be useful to have a general email address for the "team". For example, in deb packing files, Tim is specifically listed as the "Maintainer:" with his address, while it would be more appropriate to use the general "deb team" address. Similarly for Gentoo packaging it would be useful to have an email address for the Gentoo team. Here are three ways to create such addresses: 1. An alias that ensures delivery of emails to a manually maintained list of recipients. This is a simple solution, but it can run into a problem due to SPF/DKIM and at the same time it does not provide much comfort in answering - so that other team members are informed as well. 2. Mailing list open to all for incoming mails and with a moderated subscription. There is good comfort for subscribing team members, it handles replying to a mailing list well and can provide an archive - it is possible to choose whether private or public. 3. Shared mailbox for each team. A full IMAP mailbox is good - all emails in one place, but it has the disadvantage of having to share a password. What way do you think is best? Cheers -- Slávek

[tde-devels][suse] No user is highlighted...
by Felix Miata 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

...when these settings are used in tdmrc in openSUSE 15.2: SelectedUsers=root,me HiddenUsers= UseTheme=false Theme= PreselectUser=me FocusPasswd=true LoginMode=DefaultLocal Users list with no user preselected is a real problem, because user "me" is really my 90 year old mom. She can manage the password when it's the default, but I don't seem to be able to make it the default. Am I overlooking something? Or, is this a bug nobody notices because everybody uses the mousetype default theme or autologin? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

tdeio-umountwrapper-trinity is broken or not fully installed

Hi, I did upgrade freshly compiled 14.1, but hit the one in the Subject. Subsequent "apt-get -f install" solved it (I hope).

CLA × DCO
by Slávek Banko 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi all, with the arrival of the new year, in addition to wishing you good health and well-being, I open another topic for discussion - arrangement between the project and contributors. As with many other open source projects, there were concerns about patent trolls and other potential legal risks that led Tim to propose the use of a CLA (Contributor License Agreement) in 2014. The questions following the CLA's proposal were mainly technical and focused on how to confirm compliance with these arrangements for smaller contributors. The discussion that followed led to a consensus on the fact that it was essential for the contributors to add a "Signed-off-by:" line to their contributions. As a result, the "Signed-off-by" requirement is exactly the same as the one for the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin). DCO is significantly simpler than a CLA and now used by a lot of open source projects. For these reasons, in recent years we have already been using DCO rather than CLA for all contributions made. We would like to officially declare the CLA obsolete and replace it by a DCO. This would actually officially reconcile the declared state and the way it is actually used. Therefore, I ask you if anyone is aware of any obstacles, why this could not be done? See the CLA discussion thread: https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@trinitydesk… See DCO: https://developercertificate.org/ Cheers -- Slávek

Kuiper seemed to be running slower and doing fewer syncs and ultimately getting behind for 2-3 days but it was back in sync as of last night. Thank you for mirroring TDE! --Mike

[trinity-devel] UK Mirror Service mirrors
by Tim Bishop 27 Dec '20

27 Dec '20

Hi, I note on this page https://www.trinitydesktop.org/mirrorstatus.php that you list our backend servers (copernicus and kuiper) separately. Could you change that to list a single URL please? http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/ (you may use https too if you prefer) We're also testing out shorter URLs if this looks better: http://trinitydesktop.mirrorservice.org/trinity/ (https available within the next 10 days) The reason for this request is that these URLs go through our load balancer. This allows us to transparently handle node failure, do patching and maintenance, distribute traffic, etc, without impacting the user visible service. The backends are not intended to be accessed directly. Thanks, Tim. -- Tim Bishop, Computing Officer, School of Computing, University of Kent.

Re: [tde-users] Re: Migration of services - 10. primary archive
by Mike Bird 27 Dec '20

27 Dec '20

Hi Michael, As discussed we're now mirroring the whole thing so there's no separate "backup" option any more. A key factor in mirroring is to minimize traffic to and from the primary server.

So a > 2TB/month cap should be OK for a secondary mirror and you might even get by > with 1TB/month. All other decisions are up to the mirror operator. I did post some details of the script I use. Other mirrors use different scripts. I use Debian Buster and Apache2 currently but that may change and other mirrors may use entirely different software. The CPU and RAM will of course depend upon the bandwidth which we have discussed and the software which you choose but in reality it would probably run fine on a twenty year old Pentium with a gig of RAM. Please join the TDE devel list if you wish to discuss mirroring further as that is a more appropriate forum. Thanks, --Mike

tq development tools
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

In addition to the regular development tool programs in /opt/trinity/bin, I also see numerous tq* programs in /usr/bin, which are installed from the Trinity repository. What are these for? Which should be used for application development? TIA, Leslie
