DCOP fails to maximize a Konsole window
by J Leslie Turriff 11 Mar '25

11 Mar '25

In a particular script, I'd like to maximize the Konsole window, and DCOP seems like the way to do this, but though the DCOP interface for Konsole provides a maximize() function, it doesn't seem to do anything. Using KDCOP I found in Konsole-16415 => konsole-mainwindow#1, void maximize(), but it doesn't seem to do anything. Entering the equivalent command in Konsole, | @15:30:39 leslie@pinto | wd=~ | $ dcop --user leslie --session .DCOPserver_pinto__0 konsole-16415 konsole-mainwindow#1 maximize | rc=0 completes successfully, but the window does not become maximized. Is this DCOP function's purpose not what it seems, or perhaps I have found a bug?

Cannot talk to TDE Launcher #224 in TDE 14.1.3.
by Alec Destry 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

About a week ago, I reported this bug in TDE 14.1.3 at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/224 but, so far, nothing has happened. Is that where bugs should be reported?

Also, a root file manager, if not a full root GUI session, is necessary to compile programs and build RPMs from that, and that's also something I do. *Again, **I'm requesting this bug be researched and fixed.* -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [tde-devels] Re: Cannot talk to TDE Launcher #224 in TDE 14.1.3.

TDE has that capability installed and for good reason. This has nothing to do with "M$" (Microsoft). *I'm requesting this bug be researched and fixed.* There are times when the system needs custom configuration and a root file manager is the way to do that, especially when you want to be able to set up your system so it can be restored from scratch without having to depend at all on the internet.

Problem with TDE 14.1.3 ARK timestamp for files in ZIP archive.
by Alec Destry 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

On 26 July 2021, I reported that KDE 3.5.10 ark shows a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive using the latest versions of unzip. I've since installed TDE 14.1.3 and have found the same problem exists with TDE ark as well (trinity-ark-14.1.3-1.oss156.x86_64.rpm). Unzip (unzip-5.52-77.x86_64.rpm), some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. The latest versions of unzip (unzip-6.00-89.1.x86_64.rpm), when listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps caused KDE 3.5.10 ark, and is also causing TDE 14.1.3 ark, to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive using the latest versions of unzip. Rolling back to the older version of unzip gets rid of the problem. However, that could create other problems. Also, TDE ark (trinity-ark-14.1.3-1.oss156.x86_64.rpm) has many advantages over KDE4 ark and later, one prime example being its TDE konqueror integration. For these reasons, I'm requesting this bug be fixed.

libtqt-perl: how to use it?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Hi all! Has anybody experience with using libtqt-perl? Somehow I cannot get any test program running: $ perl /usr/share/doc/libtqt-perl/tutorials/t1/t1.perl Cannot find blib even in /usr/share/doc/libtqt-perl/tutorials/t1/../../../../.. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./t1.pl line 3. Commenting out said line 3 and retrying: --- No method to call for : TQt::Application(ARRAY(0x560d6f75b3c8)) at ./t1.pl line 6. Line 6 is: my $a = TQt::Application(\@ARGV); So checking perl TQt API: $ pqtapi TQt|grep Application $ ... gives nothing. Testing pqtsh: $ pqtsh Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.40/TQt/isa.pm line 48. Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/pqtsh line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/pqtsh line 15. So .. what am I missing? Does this interface work at all? Or better asked, when was the last time somebody has last tested it or seen it working? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

TDE session fails to start from TDM after upgrade from 15.6 to 16.0pre-alpha
by Felix Miata 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

# cat .xsess* /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsession: line 46: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession: No such file or directory # I upgraded as I had in the past from 15.5 to 15.6 long before 15.6 release. Most of past times this worked fine, but apparently now something has changed in openSUSE Leap X setup. I remember reading not terribly long ago in openSUSE Factory mailing list that xdm was to be discontinued as a means to start every primary DM, including TDM. Maybe that's the reason here? /etc/X11/xdm/ is now down from 20 files and 2 directories to 2 files: Xservers xdm-config # cat Xservers # Xservers - local X-server list # # This file should contain an entry to start the server on the # local display; if you have more than one display (not screen), # you can add entries to the list (one per line). # If you also have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP, # you can add them here as well; you will want to leave those terminals # on and connected to the network, else kdm will have a tougher time # managing them. Each X terminal line should look like: # XTerminalName:0 foreign # # use such a line to enable the console login option in the kdm menu #:0 local@tty1 /usr/bin/X vt7 # "reserve" means that the X server gets only started on request (only kdm) # -keeptty implies that controlling tty is not detached (breaks startx!) :0 local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -keeptty ga88x:~/X11/xdm # cat xdm-config ! ! xdm-config: Configuration of the xdm !
