TQt buildkey with GCC >= 7
by Slávek Banko 16 May '18

16 May '18

Hello to all developers, following the arrival of GCC 8.x, I began to address the build key update in TQt. See the patch that was pushed for GCC 7.x: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tqt3/commit/?id=71d8f1c4 Now I noticed that starting with GCC7, the compiler reports the version in a different way. Previously, gcc -dumpversion returned for example: 6.3.0. Now, regardless of the specific version of GCC 7.x or 8.x, it simply return: 7 or 8. Because the binary programs are compatible, the expression "7.*|6.*|5.*| 4.*)" in the configuration assured that for the GCC from 4.x to 6.x the build key was generated as follows: #define TQT_BUILD_KEY "x86_64 Linux g++-4.* full-config" But the gcc -dumpversion behavior change in GCC >= 7 has caused that the expression in the configuration not to be applied to GCC versions >= 7 and the build key is generated as follows: #define TQT_BUILD_KEY "x86_64 Linux g++-7 full-config" I believe that when binary programs are still compatible, we want to keep the build key identical (x86_64 Linux g++-4.* full-config), and I suggest modifying the expression in the configuration as follows: --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -2818,7 +2818,7 @@ g++*) 3.*) COMPILER_VERSION="3.*" ;; - 7.*|6.*|5.*|4.*) + [7-8]|[4-6].*) COMPILER_VERSION="4.*" ;; *) Please, what is your opinion? Cheers -- Slávek

ACPIAC k(t)control module in TDE?
by David C. Rankin 16 May '18

16 May '18

Tim, all, This is a tangential question on whether TDE has included an acpiac configuration module for specifying event-handling for say laptop power-button (suspend or off) as well as lid closed, etc. This is prompted by the trend away from acpi (with the configuration for event handling in /etc/acpi/handlers.sh) to acpiac which has a dearth of documentation and limited user-information. Evidently, plasma, gnome and xfce have configuration widgets for it. K3 has none (aside from the monitor DPMS control -- which isn't related). If TDE has an implementation, I'd love to see the commit and see how you did it, and where you put the interface. If TDE doesn't have an interface yet, well throw it on the wishlist heap -- as it looks like we will all have to deal with this power-interface in the near future -- it's code feeds into the kernel -- so it's coming. Short list of info links: https://www.acpica.org/documentation what it is: https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/ACPI-Introduction.pdf or the API/Programming Reference: https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/acpica-reference_18.pdf OS-Dev wisdom: https://wiki.osdev.org/ACPICA -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi. I am still using 12.4 and would like to upgrade to 18.4 in a few weeks. Will there be a TDE release for 18.4 soon? I still mourn the great KDE 3 and love TDE. :) Best regards Tom

Donation to TDE
by Alexandre Couture 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hi, I've just made a donation to the TDE project, but I am however concerned about a detail: I see that most commits are from Michele Calgaro and Slavek Banko, but I am not sure if they receive a part of these donations, to thank them for their time. I do understand that Timothy Pearson is providing some infrastructure for TDE, and has problably less time to work on TDE or interest nowadays, but I think that it would make sense to have some parts of the donations directed to the active developers. Can someone clarify this please? (Of course, by them way, don't forget to do a little donation to TDE, to see it up and running) Thank you and have a great day! -Alexandre

tde-open
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

what about my simple proposal for tde-open "what about having an alias for "kfmclient exec" to tde-open? There is kde-open, mate-open, gnome-open... tde-open would be a logical expectation." https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2816 a simple wrapper script #!/bin/bash kfmclient exec "@" in /opt/trinity/bin named tde-open should do the trick.....

knode gpgp signed messages
by deloptes 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Hi, I wonder if you have ever seen signed messages in knode appear like in kmail with nice header. ATM I see the signature as attachment and when try to open it throws gpg error. IMO the problem is in Module::prepareMessageForDecryption, but looking into the code I doubt it was ever working Opening the signature seems to be another issue -> perhaps threating attachment or so via some part. I just generated a key for deloptes(a)gmail.com and try sign this message and it says I have not configured the key for signing. thanks regards

bug 2729
by deloptes 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi, regarding https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2729 I am wondering why m_config.readBoolEntry( "Empty", true ) would report false, when in the config file it is still true and m_config.sync() was called. Any ideas? regards

how to prevent a hugs/freebsd fiasco in trinity
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi every one. I'm sure you all know about the storm about the new code of conduct in freebsd. (you need to ask consent in advance before sending virtual hugs.... etc) This is happening, because their governing structure is a committee. They are making an experiment in politics, with rules and votes and consensus etc.... You can easily avoid this, by just having an enlighten dictator. A bit like Torvalds with linux. In the Linux project, there is no committee and votes and politics. Linus has the final word. An open source project is not like in real life, if you think the benevolent dictator is a dick, you just tell him and fork. So, trinity should remain a dictatorship. Even if the project got big. I'm assuming the dictator is petersons. And when he leaves, he must appoint a successor. If that ever turned to shit, people would have to decide to fork then. (Roman emperor Caligula once, ordered his men to collect seashells) A common mistake with projects/businesses, is that the founders don't think through about what happens after they are gone. hugs :P
