Hi,
Following the instructions at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Raspbian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Ins... I installed tdebase-trinity (rather than tde-trinity), mainly because of disk space concerns.
I then installed korganizer-trinity, which is the package of most immediate interest to me.
However, when I try to configure the date and time (Settings/Configure Date & Time ...) I am told WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
This leaves me completely unaware of what package(s) I should install to make it happy.
Q1: Can anyone tell me which packages I would want to install to be able to run this setting?
Q2: Can anyone tell me how I could have figured this out myself, short of reading all the code? (I did look at some code, but decided that it was taking me down some very long chain of function calls with no end in sight, and I had to move on to some other work right now.)
Thanks very much.
Jim
Hi, Wouldn't this question be more appropriate for the user list?

tdebase-trinity usually pulls the whole set of packages needed to run TDE. AFAIK you must provide root or sudo password to configure date and time of the PC - you most probably mean the Kalendar date and time display settings.
what source did you use - what is mentioned in the article?

I thought about that, and decided that this list seemed more appropriate.
While there might be a "user" who knows the answer, it seems to me that being able to answer these questions requires knowledge about how TDE works at some internal level, rather than "how do I make it work".
A "user" who is also a TDE "guru" or "wizard" would probably know, but, then again, they might then be on this list (as I am) for general interest.
Cheers. Jim

Well, maybe it should, but I guess it depends on what one exactly means "to run TDE".
AFAIK you must provide root or sudo password to configure date and time of the PC - you most probably mean the Kalendar date and time display settings.
Sorry it wasn't clear above... when I try to configure korganizer's date and time (i.e., the way it presents the date and time, I am not trying to change the system time), using the korganizer menu item "Settings/Configure Date & Time ..." I get that message.
what source did you use - what is mentioned in the article?
Yes, I used exactly the lines in the article, except I put "buster" in for "<your-distribution>". I commented out the deb-src lines, since I was not planning to d/l any source at this point.
This leaves me completely unaware of what package(s) I should install to make it happy.
tdebase-trinity usually installs what is needed - in this case did you install also locale packages as noted in the article?
I did not. My native language is English, and I am OK with the default locale. (If there was a Canadian English locale I might have installed it, but I don't see any locale in the listing whose name suggests that to me.)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION which may or may not help: When I start up kcontrol, the pane on the left which should have all sort of things (in an older version of TFE on another computer I have "Appearance & Themes", "Desktop", "Internet & Network", and so on) is empty. So, again, it can't find whatever it is looking for.
According to the output of an incantation I found on line, there are 1037 packages with "trinity" in the name which I have not (yet) installed. I guess I could just bite the bullet and start randomly installing things, but if anyone can share some wisdom, it would be most appreciated.

Just a single application korganizer (of course, running korganizer starts some of its friends, such as artsd and korgac and dcopserver and knotify and kded and tdeinit and tdelauncher and tdeio_file).
At this point, korganizer seems to be working fine, with the exception that I can't configure a few things related to date and time.
Cheers.

Ok, I thought so, that explains it. There is a problem that when used without a full session, windows like kcontrol do not work properly. Unfortunately, the cause of this problem has not yet been traced.
Can you try it in a full TDE session?
Cheers
Answers to the most recent emails of both deloptes and Slávek, in that order:
On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 18:56 (+0100), deloptes via tde-devels wrote:
please answer Slaveks question how you exactly run TDE.
usually I log in via the TDM (login manager) it then takes care to set all the pieces needed to run TDE properly. If you did so - what is the status of your user profile - any old stuff or whatever - perhaps try with a fresh user
I reconfigured my system to use TDM. If I used that *and* chose the TDE session, kcontrol now has a populated left pane.
Running TDM and choosing another session type (e.g., lxde) did not do the trick.
So I speculate my original question is answered, in that apparently I don't need additional packages.
Instead, I pose a new question: why does kcontrol work on my other system (described in my next comment below) and not on raspian?
tdebase-trinity usually pulls the whole set of packages needed to run TDE.
Well, maybe it should, but I guess it depends on what one exactly means "to run TDE".
exactly this is what we are trying to find out - because TDE is the desktop it covers all the pieces. However you are talking about korganiser (the calendar piece as part of the tdepim)
Yes, I am mainly interested in korganizer. On my current system (Slackware64 14-2, running xdm and fvwm2, using the Slackbuilds on github to compile R14.0.5), kcontrol has a properly-populated left pane, even though I am not using tdm and I am not logging in to a TDE session.
Sorry it wasn't clear above... when I try to configure korganizer's date and time (i.e., the way it presents the date and time, I am not trying to change the system time), using the korganizer menu item "Settings/Configure Date & Time ..." I get that message.
This actually invokes the part for the locale settings (I think it is part of the tdebase and you have already installed it)
For completeness: As mentioned previously, I am OK with just the default locale.

what packages and how many do you have?
As above.
are they fully installed (line starts with ii)
So dpkg claims.
if packages are not fully installed or missing - this could explain the issue.
I installed yesterday the RPi4 by installing tdebase-trinity & co - about 50 or 100 packages. Then I installed tdepim and some other that pulled many dependencies - about 700+
I did not install tdepim because I just wanted korganizer.

Just a single application korganizer (of course, running korganizer starts some of its friends, such as artsd and korgac and dcopserver and knotify and kded and tdeinit and tdelauncher and tdeio_file).
At this point, korganizer seems to be working fine, with the exception that I can't configure a few things related to date and time.

OK, thanks for that information.

Yes, as described above, if by "full session" we mean do both -> use tdm display manager and -> start TDE session then it works.
Given my "essentially nil" understanding of the code base, I don't know if I can be much help tracking this down, but if you want me to give something a try, just let me know.

If I try to bring up kcontrol when su'd to root inside a konsole window, I get a blank left panel in kcontrol and the following:
ryu ~ # kcontrol [tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running... [2021/01/14 15:52:02.413] [dcopserver] DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. [2021/01/14 15:52:02.451] [kcontrol] WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
The left panel is populated if I open kcontrol from the command line as the logged-in user, and the buildsycoca, DCOP, and warning messages are not printed.
So the problem is either something DCOPish, or something to do with that warning message. Probably.
Jim, can you test to see if you get the same messages, so we can make sure I'm not conflating two different problems?

Can you try it in a full TDE session?
Yes, as described above, if by "full session" we mean do both -> use tdm display manager and -> start TDE session then it works.
Given my "essentially nil" understanding of the code base, I don't know if I can be much help tracking this down, but if you want me to give something a try, just let me know.
If I try to bring up kcontrol when su'd to root inside a konsole window, I get a blank left panel in kcontrol and the following:
ryu ~ # kcontrol [tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running... [2021/01/14 15:52:02.413] [dcopserver] DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. [2021/01/14 15:52:02.451] [kcontrol] WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
The left panel is populated if I open kcontrol from the command line as the logged-in user, and the buildsycoca, DCOP, and warning messages are not printed.
So the problem is either something DCOPish, or something to do with that warning message. Probably.
Jim, can you test to see if you get the same messages, so we can make sure I'm not conflating two different problems?

Normal procedure for me would be "su -". The - clears the environment, if I recall correctly. I was just using root because that's the only other full user I have set up on this machine, though.
root@rpi4-4:/scratch/tmp# kcontrol /usr/bin/iceauth: creating new authority file /root/.ICEauthority [tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running... [2021/01/14 19:31:17.736] [kcontrol] WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
And no info in the left pane.
Okay. So the warning message always shows up. I was able to trace the warning into the source (for 14.0.8, because I already had that on my machine and unpacked).
(Boring code stuff follows.)
The warning itself comes from KCGlobal::baseGroup() in tdebase-trinity-14.0.8/kcontrol/kcontrol/global.cpp . The section it's in has the following comment attached:
// Compatibility with old behaviour, in case of missing .directory files.
I have a feeling that that section of code should be choosing different fallbacks. Execution is being gated into there if
KServiceGroup::baseGroup( _infocenter ? "info" : "settings" )
doesn't find a valid pointer (I think—my C++ isn't the greatest), but trying to figure out how the relevant variables are initialized led me down a rabbit hole in tdelibs that was beyond my ability to decode.
Conclusion: to fix this, either something has to be initialized before that KServiceGroup::baseGroup call, or one of the fallbacks if it's uninitialized needs to be handled in a way that makes sense for the case where the user starting kcontrol is not the one running the main TDE session (if there is a main TDE session).
Secondary conclusion: I can describe the problem, but not fix it. Sorry.
Slávek? What do you think?

How exactly did you su to root? If I just "su", /opt/trinity/bin is in my PATH, whereas if I "sudo su" it is not.
You probably want to use su -, not just su. From info su: | -, -l, --login | Start the shell as a login shell with an environment similar to a real login: | o clears all the environment variables except TERM and variables specified by --whitelist-environment | o initializes the environment variables HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME, and PATH | o changes to the target user's home directory | o sets argv[0] of the shell to '-' in order to make the shell a login shell
Without the login option, you're still pointing to your own home directory and various environment variables, but running with root privileges.

Hi,
I saw the top-posting and missed the rest of your questions. Mea culpa.
Thank you
please answer Slaveks question how you exactly run TDE.
usually I log in via the TDM (login manager) it then takes care to set all the pieces needed to run TDE properly. If you did so - what is the status of your user profile - any old stuff or whatever - perhaps try with a fresh user
tdebase-trinity usually pulls the whole set of packages needed to run TDE.
Well, maybe it should, but I guess it depends on what one exactly means "to run TDE".
exactly this is what we are trying to find out - because TDE is the desktop it covers all the pieces. However you are talking about korganiser (the calendar piece as part of the tdepim)
Sorry it wasn't clear above... when I try to configure korganizer's date and time (i.e., the way it presents the date and time, I am not trying to change the system time), using the korganizer menu item "Settings/Configure Date & Time ..." I get that message.
This actually invokes the part for the locale settings (I think it is part of the tdebase and you have already installed it)
what source did you use - what is mentioned in the article?
Yes, I used exactly the lines in the article, except I put "buster" in for "<your-distribution>". I commented out the deb-src lines, since I was not planning to d/l any source at this point.
tdebase-trinity usually installs what is needed - in this case did you install also locale packages as noted in the article?
I did not. My native language is English, and I am OK with the default locale. (If there was a Canadian English locale I might have installed it, but I don't see any locale in the listing whose name suggests that to me.)
this is good so - it was just a fact check question
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION which may or may not help: When I start up kcontrol, the pane on the left which should have all sort of things (in an older version of TFE on another computer I have "Appearance & Themes", "Desktop", "Internet & Network", and so on) is empty. So, again, it can't find whatever it is looking for.
According to the output of an incantation I found on line, there are 1037 packages with "trinity" in the name which I have not (yet) installed. I guess I could just bite the bullet and start randomly installing things, but if anyone can share some wisdom, it would be most appreciated.
dpkg -l | grep trinity dpkg -l | grep trinity | wc -l
what packages and how many do you have? are they fully installed (line starts with ii)
if packages are not fully installed or missing - this could explain the issue.
I installed yesterday the RPi4 by installing tdebase-trinity & co - about 50 or 100 packages. Then I installed tdepim and some other that pulled many dependencies - about 700+
