TDE apps and automake
by deloptes 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hi, I asked already once but there was no answer. How can I get the cflags and libs for TDE applications? I read and followed this manual: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/KApplication_template I updated the code sample to use the new (r14) headers. I then found out I had to do following export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig c++ `pkg-config tqt --cflags` `pkg-config tqt --libs` test.cc -o test but it was unsufficient. I had to change to following to be able to compile c++ `pkg-config tqt --cflags` -I/opt/trinity/include \ `pkg-config tqt --libs` -L/opt/trinity/lib -ltdecore -ltdeui \ test.cc -o test So why is no pkg-config for tdecore and tdeui ? or how can I use cmake from within automake project to get what I need? thanks

TDE vs Plasma 5 boot time
by Alexandre 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi all, I am currently running Plasma 5 (KDE 5) on my desktop computer, and I find that Plasma 5 is capable of booting, from login to desktop, faster than TDE on the same machine. This computer is an humble Core 2 duo with 2gb of ram, probably from 2008 or so. While this is great for KDE, it is not that great for TDE, because KDE is built on much heavier toolkit and frameworks than TDE. And TDE (with its KDE 3 past) was built to run well on P2-P3 computers. The thing is that even with much faster computers, it should have near instant boot time. So, I don't know if there could be ways to re-organize TDE startup sequence, or maybe to prefetch so things in TDM. Maybe starting TDE modules in parallel could help? May 2016 be a great year for you all! -Alexandre

Query about Gentoo and Trinity
by E. Liddell 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

I'm embarking once again on my periodic quixotic quest to corral all ebuilds (Gentoo packages) for Trinity and combine them into a usable overlay. Is anyone else (Fat-Zer?) still working on this? If not, does anyone know of any old overlays with substantial material that isn't in the following? https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay/ (Serghei's--long dead) https://github.com/Fat-Zer/trinity/ (Fat-Zer's--still on 3.5.13) https://bitbucket.org/mgebert/gentoo-trinity (dropped by author as of July) (plus the one I was working on with Roman back in 2011, for which I ironically have the materials but not the URL) In particular, I'm looking for better post-kde-sunset support for the packages still building with autotools. I keep hoping that someone else will take up the torch on this, but everyone who's tried seems to lose interest within a year or two, so I'm reluctantly going to give it another shot. The intention here is to: 1. collect existing materials in one location 2. do appropriate version bumps as new versions of Trinity come out (I'll be automating this as much as I can) 3. try to get *something* into the official overlays list and the Gentoo wiki, so that people at least know it's there (an unfun but necessary step) 4. centralize efforts so that people interested in working on this don't get mired down in version-bumping old ebuilds I lack the skills, time, and energy to create the substantial number of new ebuilds needed for a complete overlay. If anyone else offers to pitch in and help with this, I will be *ecstatic*. (Otherwise, the only way forward may be to offer cash incentives.) Of course, I may get nowhere at all (again), especially since I'm currently rebuilding my test environment after the xorg-server and xorg-driver packages somehow managed to desync. :( E. Liddell

[trinity-devel] nothing like kinfocenter in r14 menu
by Felix Miata 01 Jan '16

Why? Aptitude and Synaptice searching for ~infocenter for TDE also provides nothing resembling KDE's kinfocenter in Jessie. :~( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Anybody know how I resolve this correctly, without manually intervening and modifying the auto-generated config.h? Cheers, Mike. -- Mike Howard

Lisi, In another message you seemed to associate the word "kool" with the substitution of "u" for "you" by "the youth-aspiring middle-aged".

Does that mean you don't intend to explain your dislike of "Ka", because you think the reason for it is obvious? I hope you will explain it anyhow.

It is a kernel fuzz tester, that calls system calls at random and it is intended to be used to spot bugs otherwise difficult to detect. Having said that, the name in not a fortunate choice, since it partially match with Trinity Desktop Environment, which as raised by Mark it can generate confusion among new users. So we just need to make sure we always refer to TDE either as TDE or Trinity Desktop Environment or at least Trinity Desktop. As for the K in KDE, it initially meant "Kool", from which the make KDE.

DANGEROUS LINUX PROGRAM CALLED "TRINITY"
by Mark S Bilk 26 Dec '15

26 Dec '15

On this website: http://codemonkey.org.uk/projects/trinity/ is a Linux program that makes random system-calls. The author calls it a "fuzzer" and has named it "Trinity". When run, it creates lots of junk files, can delete pre-existing files, and do anything else the OS can do. A friend of mine wanted to install TDE, but carelessly ran that "fuzzer" program instead. He cleaned out the junk files but doesn't know what other damage has been done. People need to be warned about that program! I sent e-mail to the author asking him to put a warning on his web page for people seeking TDE, but I don't know if he will do it. Prospective TDE users must be sent here directly: http://trinitydesktop.org/ and told not to find it via Google, etc.
