[trinity-devel] bad UI fonts in apps built with GTK3 toolkit used with GTK3 libs >3.16

by Felix Miata

I asked about a possible solution to this elsewhere, generating no response as yet: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2016-July/msg00028.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org/t… Apparently, a fix from mozilla.org is unlikely forthcoming, while a particular Gnome commit is highly likely responsible for the regression in Firefox and SeaMonkey built by mozilla.org with GTK3 toolkit: "UI text sizes no longer inherited from Linux system" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274 Screenshot of mozilla.org's FF48 in TDE on openSUSE 1920x1080 @132DPI display showing the problem: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/uifontsRV48-s422tde-132.jpg Screenshot of mozilla.org's FF48 in TDE on openSUSE 1680x1050 @108DPI display showing the problem: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/uifontsRV48-s422tde-108.jpg Screenshot of mozilla.org's FF48 in TDE on openSUSE 1680x1050 @108DPI display showing no such problem before the update of GTK3 from 3.16 to 3.20: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/uifontsRV48-s421tde-108.jpg Screenshot of mozilla.org's FF48 and FF45 on Fedora 24 with Plasma5 @168DPI display showing problem is not unique to TDE, and doesn't exist in FF45: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Moz/uifontsRV48-f24K5-168.jpg Mozilla.org's FF ESR 45 is still built with GTK2, so doesn't have the problem. SeaMonkey 2.40 is also built with GTK2, so also has no problem. All the mozilla.org alphas and betas are being built with GTK3, so all manifest the problem unless used with system GTK3 libs 3.16 or older. Whether this problem shows up in Firefox or SeaMonkey provided by individual distros depends on which toolkit is used to build them. In Fedora, the switch to GTK3 has been made, as have been the GTK3 libs past 3.16, the last before the upstream patch. Thus, all current rpms from Fedora produce the problem. In openSUSE Tumbleweed, Firefox 48 is still built with GTK2, so even though it has switched to 3.20 GTK3 libs, the problem there hasn't yet appeared. Stretch has 3.20 GTK3 libs, builds FF 45ESR with GTK2, so has the problem in FF with mozilla.org builds but not with its available FF .deb package. Jessie is OK, with only GTK3 lib 3.14. Buntu 16.04's GTKs3 lib is 3.18. Its FF 48 buildconfig screen doesn't include the string gtk anywhere, but apparently it's using the GTK3 default, and thus also not obeying TDE's UI font specification. So, to eventually restore parity to all distro and version installations, always having the Geckos use the UI fonts specified in Trinity desktop settings, something needs to be done. The question is where. Is getting upstream patch reversion the right answer? Would some new or altered gtk-*qt*-trinity package be good, only, or better answer? Would some new or altered theme package be a right answer? Is there already some solution that just hasn't been installed yet? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

kdDebug() no output

by deloptes

Hi, in the past few days I found some time to revive my work on the libkcal testing, but I noticed that no debug information is printed out by the test programs. I suspect it is because it gets compiled without debugging, but I am not sure, as (if you recall I asked you how to compile the project and you instructed to use the debian/rules file) I don't know where and how to tell the rules file to add/activate debugging. I use something like DEB_MAKE_CHECK_TARGET=testing fakeroot debian/rules build at the moment. I'll appreciate some ideas. Thank you in advance regards

EOMA68-A20 computer card running devuan and trinity desktop r14

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

hi folks - all working, just thought you might like to know. installation was very straightforward, and unlike a couple of months ago on a devuan amd64 system worked perfectly without package conflicts. can i recommend that you put devuan on the list of OSes as it's clearly much much faster, and hugely less hassle. l. --- crowd-funded eco-conscious hardware: campaign running LIVE: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop

[trinity-devel] mozilla.org Bug 1269274 - UI text sizes no longer inherited from Linux system

by Felix Miata

Has anyone here figured out if there's some other package that can be installed or some other fix or workaround to avoid this upstream tiny UI fonts bug with trying to use GTK3 builds of Firefox (47+) & SeaMonkey (2.43+) without having to have Gnome3 installed?: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

GPG error on ppa apt-get update

by Keith Daniels

I am trying to reinstall Jessie from the Debian Trinity Repo I added: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/ debian jessie main to : /etc/apt/sources.list file I ran: # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys F5CFC95C in a root console. I then ran: # apt-get update from the same root console, and after it finished reading everything in the package list, I got this error message TWICE in a row: W: GPG error: http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org jessie Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 96C95152F5CFC95C The above was exactly what I did 3 days ago and it worked at that time. Is there a problem with the public keys or am I somehow doing something wrong? Keith

My_Documents mangled UTF8

by deloptes

Hi, in the course of vcard and the encoding issue I ask herewith for help to solve another annoying utf8 encoding issue. Problem: Attached images show that My_Documents when language set to bg gets mangled. Unfortunately looking into this I found out it is mangled in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/Desktop/My_Documents I tested in fresh install of TDE, but after first logout/login it changed I workaround it by fixing the file and removing the write permissions. I don't know where to look for the system:/ entry. regards

SyncEvolution again trying to finalize the work

by deloptes

Hi, after few months of testing, I do not see any issues in the TDE backends/plugins. I want to finalize this work and upload the code in some way. I asked SyncEvolution about it [1,2] while trying to build 1.5.1 against synthesis. This required version which is provided in debian sid. Unfortunately I hit a bug [3] and I think I'll try against syncevolution from git as the patch for [3] is still to be uploaded for 1.5.1. What I want to discuss with you based on [1] is if you think it is wise to provide syncevolution-whatever-trinity package(s), which for the moment I think is the best and fast (but not optimal) solution. I will call this short term solution - STS. I think it would be more complex to push each distro to include support for tdepim in syncevolution, but in long term it is the best solution. I will call this long term solution - LTS. However I think there are still few places to improve in the code (the calendar part mostly) and there are some issues in the underlaying libkcal or whatever handles the todo's subject/description when utf-8 and/or quoted content. In fact I dropped support for cal v1 in the plugins as it looks broken and I did not have time to deal with it. SyncEvolution does convert internally a v1 cal into v2 just excellent. So the plan for the STS would be to modify the vendors build scripts (I know only debian ... so debian/*) to produce the syncevolution packages with trinity extention, which will be build with the tdepim/wallet support on top of the vendors configure options. Those packages should replace the vendors own packages and thus provide the tdepim support. The LTS would easy the way that we'll have tdepim/wallet in the mainline, but perhaps we should still provide packages to overwrite the distros shipped package. Based on this what are you thinking? Thanks in advance [1] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/5396 [2] http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/5393 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=824426
