TDE Development for Newbies
by Mike Smith 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

I apologize if this has already been addressed in the mailing list or on the wiki, but what are some best practices when doing TDE/TQt development? I'm fairly new to programming, although I know enough to be dangerous with git and have a general understanding of programming concepts such as data types, OOP, etc. I haven't used C++ before but interested in learning. What does your programming environment look like? Do you code in a VM or container so that you don't mess with your main system's configuration? What's your favorite editor or IDE? I'm curious what you're typical workflow looks like. Thanks, Mike

Kate just shut down my computer!
by J Leslie Turriff 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

I opened Kate to paste some text. It put up a message about saving existing files or data (the message is gone now of course) and when I declined to save it, the desktop shut down, the system shutdown sequence started, and my machine powered off. I'm not sure what logs might have pertinent information about this.

tdepowersafe consuming most CPU cycles
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Hi all! I'm (again) in the process of optimizing my laptops power consumption. I noticed that "tdepowersafe" consumes ~ 2.5% of all CPU cycles - this is more than Xorg (1.6%) but less than htop (6.3%). So my question is: does tdepowersafe do constant polling? IMO it should take almost no CPU cycles (<1%)? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Patch - katepart/syntax/rust.xml to include alerts (TODO, FIXME, etc...) in comments
by David C. Rankin 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

TDE devs, I passed this along to Yasuhiko for openSUSE kde3, it may also be something that TDE wants to patch as well: ========== original message ============ The current rust.xml katepart syntax file does not highlight alerts like TODO, FIXME, etc. in the comments. The katepart/syntax file needs to be updated to include the katepart/syntax/alerts.xml file. A patch to do so is: diff -ruNb a/syntax/rust.xml b/syntax/rust.xml --- a/syntax/rust.xml 2015-10-28 15:38:53.000000000 -0500 +++ b/syntax/rust.xml 2024-09-10 08:53:59.108745900 -0500 @@ -323,10 +323,14 @@ <RegExpr String="U[0-9a-fA-F]{8}" attribute="CharEscape" context="#pop"/> <RegExpr String="." attribute="Error" context="#pop"/> </context> - <context attribute="Comment" lineEndContext="#pop" name="Commentar 1"/> + <context attribute="Comment" lineEndContext="#pop" name="Commentar 1"> + <LineContinue attribute="Comment" context="#stay"/> + <IncludeRules context="##Alerts" /> + </context> <context attribute="Comment" lineEndContext="#stay" name="Commentar 2"> <DetectSpaces/> <Detect2Chars char="*" char1="/" attribute="Comment" context="#pop" endRegion="Comment"/> + <IncludeRules context="##Alerts" /> </context> </contexts> <itemDatas> @@ -348,6 +352,7 @@ <itemData name="Macro" defStyleNum="dsOthers"/> <itemData name="Attribute" defStyleNum="dsOthers"/> <itemData name="Lifetime" defStyleNum="dsOthers" bold="1"/> + <itemData name="Alert" defStyleNum="dsAlert" spellChecking="false"/> <itemData name="Error" defStyleNum="dsError"/> </itemDatas> </highlighting> -- David C.

sftp_kio - any issues at TDE with new openssh?
by David C. Rankin 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

Michele, Slavek, All, I just ran across a new bug on openSUSE Tumbleweed where the sftp_kio is completely broken. I suspect this is the result of the new openssh package and perhaps option changes, etc... It's no little issue, attempting to connect in konqueror, kate, kwrite, etc.. with sftp://host/path/to/whatever -- coredumps. This slunk in sometime in the past week or so along with new versions of openssh. I don't have smoking gun evidence it is openssh -- but that is my best guess based on recently updated packages. Tumbleweed has openssh-9.8p1 built last Friday. Let me know if you see this in TDE, and if you don't, be on the lookout for it when openssh updates. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Fwd: Add Alerts (FIXME, TODO, etc..) to rust katepart/syntax/rust.xml
by David C. Rankin 12 Sep '24

12 Sep '24

Here is the the response from Yasuhiko, he updated kdelibs applying the patch so the syntax highlights for Alerts are activated in the rust.xml syntax file. I believe what he says below is that the openeSUSE KDE3 uses the sams May 19, 2020 syntaxt files as TDE, so TDE can apply the patch as-is to activate the Alert highlighting in rust comments. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Add Alerts (FIXME, TODO, etc..) to rust katepart/syntax/rust.xml Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2024 14:53:58 +0900 From: Yasuhiko Kamata <belphegor(a)belbel.or.jp> Organization: Bel Bel Network, Japan. To: suse-kde3 <kde3(a)lists.opensuse.org> CC: David C. Rankin <drankinatty(a)gmail.com> Hello, Ok, updated kdelibs3. It will be available soon. After the update in May 19 2020, syntax rule files used by kdelibs3 is the exact same files provided by tdelibs (as shown in OBS, https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/KDE:KDE3/kdelibs3 -> tdelibs-kate-data.git-**.tar.bz2). Therefore, the attached patch can be used as-is on the tdelibs side. Thanks, On Wed, 11 Sep 2024 11:15:02 -0500 "David C. Rankin" <drankinatty(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 9/11/24 1:28 AM, David C.

Does kmenuedit show Gtk4 icons just named "org" in TDE?
by David C. Rankin 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Michele, Slavek, All, On the bleeding edge in openSUSE Tumbleweed, I'm seeing Gtk icons in kmenuedit with many in the "System icons -> Application" list just named "org" (which of course breaks trying to use them) Here is a screenshot of what I see: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/31a073a6794f Likely this is an issue introduced recently with Gtk4 or the like where they have buried blobs being org.whatever.gnome.something config tree names and it looks like kmenuedit is only able to grab the "org" part. (this is just an educated GUESS on my part) (oops sent to pearsoncomputing.org first -- and that rejects me now for some reason, even though I still get bug info from it?) === Update! === Fortuitous I sent to the wrong e-mail, Yasuhiko already found the issue in kde3 from a post to the opensuse list yesterday: <quote> This problem is that while referencing icon's file names, only reads up to the first period (this is due to a default implementation of QFileInfo::baseName()). So that there is an issue where the selected icon is not reflected. This problem occurs not only in Tumbleweed, but also in other versions. Fix was already submitted to KDE:KDE3. Binaries will be available soon. </quote> So if TDE has the same issue, you can grab the QFileInfo::baseName() patch from there. Keep up the great work! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TDE Default Configuration Files
by jacobheinrich＠hotmail.com 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

Hey there, I am working on changing the default TDE configuration for a Live ISO. I have read through the: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Customization_for_distributions However, when I place my configuration files into /opt/trinity/share/config as well as trying with my own dir added to the TDEDIRS variable. I cannot get the default settings to apply. I can only get the new default settings to apply on the creation of a new account using /etc/skel. Is there a new spot for the default TDE configs? Or am I just not looking in the right spots? Ideally when a user selects default at the bottom of a settings dialog (for the bottom panel for example), it uses the defaults I have set.
