python-kde3 (pykde) FTBFS
by Darrell Anderson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

I used the following in my build script: ======================= python ./configure.py -k $PREFIX -L $LIBDIR -n $LIBDIR/kde3 -o /usr/include make || exit 1 make install DESTDIR=$PKG python importTest.py ======================= Where $PREFIX and $LIBDIR are the same as all other build scripts. The build stalls at the same point. I really don't know whether anything is happening, but I wait for about 10 minutes. The configure.py script needs verbosity. There are long periods when the user does not know if anything is happening. For example, when creating the make files. Would be nice if something appeared on screen. Darrell

Building libcarddav
by Darrell Anderson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

FTBFS. Log attached. We started to address this issue, but we kind of forgot to move forward with the other things going on. I just built libcaldav so that package still builds. SVN 1177573. Darrell

Mystery Konqueror Icon
by Darrell Anderson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

In the Trinity konqueror, lower right corner, is an icon that looks like a common electrical device receptacle plug. What is that icon for? I clicked and nothing happened. Darrell

kdebindings python support
by Darrell Anderson 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

I'm working my way toward building python support for kdebindings. I have sip and pyqt3 built and installed. I went searching for some build instructions for python-kde3 when I saw something in the svn tree called pykdeextensions. Do I need to install both packages or just python-kde3? If only python-kde3, then when and why would I want to build pykdeextensions? Darrell

FTBFS kdelibs + lua 5.1
by Serghei Amelian 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hello, Somebody tried to compile kdelibs against LUA 5.1? On my system fail with this error: kdelibs/kate/part/kateluaindentscript.cpp:249: error: 'luaL_newstate' was not declared in this scope [...] kdelibs/kate/part/kateluaindentscript.cpp:290: error: 'lua_version' was not declared in this scope Unfortunately, LUA 5.0 was removed from gentoo portage, so I cannot test with this version. Thanks -- Serghei

Quirks With New Trinity Profiles
by Darrell Anderson 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Testing a new Trinity profile. I tested these quirks three ways: skipping kpersonalizer, configuring kpersonalizer for minimum effects, and accepting all defaults in kpersonalizer. ============================================ The panel height is preconfigured to Small. When the new Trinity profile opens, the height is indeed Small. Yet when I open the panel configuration box the size says Normal. ============================================ In /usr/share/config.kcfg/kickerSettings.kcfg I have panel set to 1) no mouseover effects, 2) no icon activation effects, and 3) no tooltips. I create those settings when I build the package and the kickerSettings.kcfg gets installed with my preferred settings. When I open the configuration box the first time all three settings are enabled, which I can confirm with straightforward usability tests of the desktop. ============================================ In /usr/share/config.kcfg/kdesktop.kcfg I have shadow text off and white text on. With a new profile the text is black with shadows. If I accept the defaults from kpersonalizer, then the text is white but shadows remain on. ============================================ Default icon theme is now Crystal SVG. Crystal SVG is the icon theme when I skip kpersonalizer or accept the defaults. When I select minimum desktop effects in kpersonalizer, the icon theme is KDE Classic. ============================================ With minimum desktop effects or defaults in kpersonalizer, the bouncing mouse cursor reappears, despite the default being non-busy. Seems the only way to get the default non-busy cursor is to skip kpersonalizer. Darrell

New Trinity Profile Messages
by Darrell Anderson 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

When I start Trinity for the first time, which creates a new profile, I see these messages: Invalid entry (missing '=') at /tmp/kde-root/kconf_updateDxWEba.tmp:1 Invalid entry (missing '=') at /tmp/kde-root/kconf_updateVC8cVa.tmp:1 Occurs for both root and non-root users. The messages seem to occur only with a new Trinity profile and only with the first run of Trinity. The messages likely are caused because the cache, socket, and tmp directories used by KDE/Trinity do not yet exist and the code is trying to create those directories. That part makes sense, but the error message indicates something like a typo similar in the code. Darrell

X Error: BadWindow
by Darrell Anderson 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) For as long as I can remember, anybody using KDE has seen these superfluous messages in their xsession log. The messages are annoying. FWIW, occasionally I start Xfce for some oddball testing and I don't see the messages. I'm guessing the problem is unique to legacy KDE code. Is there something specific in the KDE/Trinity code that causes X to respond with those messages? You have impressed me many times with your ability to patch the old sloppy KDE code. I think if you could solve this problem you would add one dandy looking feather to your cap! Darrell
