Furture of KDE3 questions
by Larry Stotler 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

High guys. This may have been spelled out somewhere, but if so I missed it, so please bear with me. I've been a KDE user since 1.x which was part of SuSE v5.3. Up till KDE4, I was always found KDE to do what I needed. I have some questions about the future direction of KDE3: 1. Qt4 port - I saw that this is one the roadmap. Is this really neccessary? I know that a lot of my complaints about KDE4 was the useless revamp of the interface, but having to have both Qt3/4 libs was also a huge pain. I'm not against a port if there are compelling reasons for it, but I have seen no compelling reason for KDE4. It uses more memory and space. I have a lot of older laptops that I find KDE3 to be snappy and KDE4 to be like molassas. 2. What about the other KDE projects like KOffice? I've always made use of KOffice instead of anything else. I find OpenOffice to be bloated. 3. Removal of HAL in favor of udev - Is this something that is going to affect KDE3? 4. Dependencies - I'm not sure how it is on other distros, but I've always found SuSE/openSUSE to suffer from unneccessary dependencies. Not everyone has a Palmpilot device, and most PIMs assume you do and force you to install support for something you don't have. I'm not sure how the core KDE and the other projects handle this. How is Trinity planning to do it? 5. XOrg and KDE3 - on openSUSE 11.3, I can't setup my displays because openSUSE removed it's config program SaX2 and I can't get XOrg to work with my displays. Works fine in openSUSE 11.0/KDE3 because I have SaX2. Is there an alternative for configuring displays? Sorry if some of this is a repeat. I'm new to the list, but a longtime KDE user. Thanx

FW: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil)
by Rodrigo Zimmermann 14 Dec '10

From: barrigudo15(a)hotmail.com To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil) Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:55:08 +0300 There is an environment project work done by Brazilians, called SPT (Techisa Desktop Environment) and is also built using QT3. However, the project is currently inactive. I wish you the code offered by aproveitasseo Techisa Desktop Environment, after all its free software. Incidentally, I want to highlight a feature that I found this great working environment in Brazil: the possibility of application launchers monitor its implementation through the menu of right mouse button on the launcher. Another interesting feature is the window manager, which supports many themes that are not supported by Kwin. Who knows SPT-WM may become the next manager of Trinity windows Desktop Environment? Besides supporting more themes, SPT-WM is lighter than KWin. I wish I could see the code being reused Techisa Desktop Environment by this team.

[trinity-users] Squeeze users: amarok-trinity and SYSFS boot errors
by David Hare 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

amarok-trinity depends on libnjb5 (why?) As does gnomad2, although it was removed from squeeze (lenny version works fine here on squeeze) Maybe they will remove libnjb5. For anyone getting aggravated by many lines of sysfs error messages on boot it is because: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libnjb5;dist=unstable#_0_3… A quick fix (as root): sed -i 's|SYSFS|ATTR|'g /etc/udev/libnjb.rules

Hello, is there a simple way to get the three view mode buttons back? The patch in comment #15 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/43949 ) used to work in Kubuntu, but doesn't work on TDE 3.5.12. Thanks to everyone working on Trinity.

Sinhalese UTF8 shows up as squares
by Madura Anushanga 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi, I installed Trinity on Ubuntu 10.10 all the KDE 3 apps doesn't show Sinhalese letters(instead it shows squares) there are fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. It doesn't show the correct characters even when the font is forced. A friend said that openSUSE KDE shows Sinhalese characters correctly, is there a package that I should upgrade? - Madura A.

DCOP problems under maverick
by Stefan Endrullis 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hello list, recently I upgraded to maverick and suddenly experienced problems with DCOP commands which worked always fine under intrepid, jaunty, lucid, and karmic. It seems that the QString support has been removed from DCOP in maverick. When I call dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession 'cd /' in a console I get the message cannot handle datatype 'QString' The 'cd /' command is of course not executed in yakuake. Moreover it seems that all DCOP functions that take any QString as parameter or return a QStrings are affected by this issue. In other words: yakuake (and maybe also some other programs) cannot be remotely controlled anymore which is a pitty because I used the remote controlling functionality daily. I used to press F2 in the krusader to open a yakuake session in the current directory, but this does not work anymore. Did someone else experience this problem? Does anybody know how it can be fixed? Regards, Stefan

by Mikle Krutov 05 Dec '10

05 Dec '10

Hello, list! Question is in subj of the message. Because as for me all (i mean, all, not only kde4) qt4 apps are much slower then they were on qt3. So, what are advantages of migration? -- Old mercenaries never die. They go to hell and regroup. With best regards, Mikle Krutov, Bercut ltd. Technical Support department
