consumption problem (critical for labtop)

by Patrick Serru

Hello everybody, I always have a window "ksysgard" in my session. I noticed something that looks like a bug: the system consumes "abnormally", but not always. I was not able to cause the problem for sure. I am relatively sure it's related to KMail. Once opened and closed KMail. The only window "KSysgard" is open. It's strange because while preparing this e-mail, I re-opened KMail and opened Kate. Ksysgard was hidden. Deciding to watch the "consumption" while writing in kate, I de-masked Ksysgard: After this simple operation, consumption is re-lowered to a "normal" level ... Comments on the attached picture: The vertical lines are spaced 60 seconds (1 sample per second) The horizontal lines are spaced 5% The left side (96% CPU load) represents the opening of the session, The following peaks represent the closure of all the windows and then opening and closing KMail Most of the picture represents this abnormal consumption On the left, back to "normal" situation. I place this mail "users" list, because I dont want to repport a minor bug, if I'm the only one to see that. To you to confirm or deny... System kubuntu 10.10-trinity-enterprise (86x_64) Good luck to everyone, Patrick

VMWARE player complains about libcanberra-gtk-module

by daniele.manghi＠libero.it

Good morning. I've installed vmplayer on my Maverick+Trinity. Installationrun ok, but vmplayer refuses to start the guest operating system telling it is missing libcanberra-gtk-module.so. However, if try to installlibcanberra-gtk-module using apt-get, this one tells that the package is alreadyinstalled and at the most recent level. Besides, a 'locate' run finds /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.soso, what's really the problem ? Do you know if there is a way to bypass it ? ThanksDaniele Manghi

kdm authentication failures

by Alan

Hello, I can't get kdm to authenticate my user. I built kdebase from revision 1236975, and I configured it as follows: mkdir build; cd build cmake .. \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_ALL=On \ -DBUILD_DOC=Off \ -DWITH_SHADOW=On Yet I am unable to authenticate my user. This system doesn't have pam. This used to work with kde 3.5.10 when I ran configure with --with-shadow. Suggestions?

Can't Keep Kompozer from taking Over.

by Robert Smits

Hello. I've got a laptop I'm running OpenSuSe 11.3 with KDE4 on. In addition, I've installed the KDE3 version of KDEPIM on it. But not the KDE3 desktop. My problem is that if I have both Firefox and Kompozer (a website editor) installed, every time I click on a web link in an email, it starts up Kompozer INSTEAD of Firefox. I can't find any way to prioritize Firefox, except to uninstall Kompozer. Can anyone tell me where to look to make clicking on a url go to Firefox and not Kompozer. The KDEPIM is from 3.5.10. Thanks -- Robert Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home...David Frost

Trinity Release 3.5.13: Further Notes

by Calvin Morrison

Hello, Here are some further notes regarding the 3.5.13 release. The release is on schedule for Nov 1st (in 3 days). Now is your last chance to send in patches for the release. After Oct 29th a hard freeze will be in effect. No changes past this point will be made. This is to ensure that packagers have enough time to produce packages. After that the final tarballs will be built for the release. For the 3.5.13 release there will be no Ubuntu LiveCDs. If someone would like to respin a LiveCD for us, we will be happy to host the files. Oneiric packages are built and ready to install. Please report any problems you find. For Oneiric installation instructions: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/NightlyBuilds Lastly, LibreOffice integration will not be available in Oneiric until the creation, submission, and incorporation of patches into the upstream LibreOffice project. Thank you, Calvin Morrison Trinity Desktop Team

Trinity: some problems...

by Jorge Gonçalves

Hello all! I'm new to Trinity. After some weeks trying, I finally manage to install Trinity night build to a Debian Squeeze - more exactly, a HD install of the latest Knoppix Cd. Well, Trinity is running, but there are some problems, the worst is that after using "File Manager - Super User Mode", I can no more open any other program, nothing, it only returns a DCOP error. I wonder if this is because of my install could somehow be broken, so I ask if anyone could confirm or not? Another problem - not related, Kopete does not run, it says: " kopete: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/kopete_statistics.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_open " And, finally, Basket has wrong dependencies: it should not depend on Kontact, but simply suggest it - see the developer page for that. All in all, from my limited testing, Trinity 3.5.13 seems solid, maybe a little more cpu usage than former Kde 3.5.10. I also manage to get Compiz working with Trinity, using the gtk-window-decorator. Cheers, Jorge

Restoring KMail files and directories.

by Lisi Reisz

I have problems with my hardware, and am probably going to accept some loss of data. But I am particularly anxious not to loose all my KMail information. In the dim and distant past, I used to be able to copy across a .mail folder and bingo! I had my emails. Is there anything similar in KDE 3.5.10? My guesses were all wrong! FWIW, and in case it affects anyone else, I tried to use my Lenny /home, which is on a separate HDD, with TDE 3.5.12 or 3.5.11 (I have wiped it, and now can't remember which it was). KMail refused to function. So I reinstalled Lenny and 3.5.10, and KMail could not use the directories because the indices had been altered. KMail's offered attempts to reset the indices (and maybe lose a bit) failed to work. Obviously I ought not to have tried to go backwards, but there was not much other choice at the time!! So, alternatively, is there some way I could tidy up the "corrupted" copy? Thanks Lisi

[trinity-users] Trinity 3.5.13

by David Hare

Running Trinity on Squeeze here. I would like to try the 3.5.13 nightly builds, or at least some selected new builds. I see some bugfixes are done. I can't find much info what to do in the web pages, but I see deb packages exist. How should I install? Is there a normal apt repo? Regards. David
