Fwd: [arch-general] Trinity Binaries - Unofficial Repo - Thank You Kainting Chen!

by David C. Rankin

Here is a quick forward from the Arch list regarding Trinity binaries for Arch Linux (svn) ----------- All, Kaiting Chen has provided server space for Trinity binaries. Currently I have the i686 files uploaded and will upload x86_64 shortly (after my kids are done with toontown....) The url for the i686 repo is: http://www.kiwilight.com/~drankinatty/trinity/i686/ (Trinity packages are 2/19/2011 builds) The x86_64 repo will be the same url with x86_64. Trinity needs a clean environment currently (no kdemod3). If you have had a prior kdemod3 install, then delete: /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycoca /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycocastamp and move ~/.kde somewhere else. If you have kde4 installed, then expect akonadi/nepomuk and all the kde4 autostart files in /usr/share/autostart to run (Trinity devs are working on a way to ignore all the kde4 autostart files) To install trinity, just add the repo to /etc/pacman.conf: [trinity] Server = http://www.kiwilight.com/~drankinatty/trinity/i686/ Then just do 'pacman -Sy trinity-kdewebdev' and it will pull in the complete Trinity desktop (kdewebdev requires all trinity dependencies) I recommend installing it in either a clean Arch install, or just create a new Arch virtualbox VM and install it there. It is a darn good looking desktop. x86_64 packages by the morning :) See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity for current details :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- David C.

Current Build Times & Quick & Dirty build script outline - just FYI

by David C. Rankin

All, Here are recent build times for Trinity svn on a middle of the road P4 3.2G box. (nothing special - old Dell GX280 'small form factor'): 10:55 supersff:~/tblds> grep Feb bldlog.txt Feb 19 01:44:45 building: trinity-qt3 Feb 19 02:06:12 building: trinity-pyqt3 Feb 19 02:17:05 building: trinity-tqtinterface Feb 19 02:18:16 building: trinity-arts Feb 19 02:22:02 building: trinity-kdelibs Feb 19 03:01:01 building: trinity-kdebase Feb 19 03:36:42 building: trinity-kdevelop Feb 19 03:51:13 building: trinity-kdewebdev Feb 19 03:58:21 done! 2:14 beginning to end. For anyone packaging Trinity, the basic 'outline' of the build script layout I used was (link to full script below): #!/bin/bash <snip> # array of build directories -- in order declare -a blddirs blddirs=('trinity-qt3' 'trinity-pyqt3' 'trinity-tqtinterface' 'trinity-arts' 'trinity-kdelibs' 'trinity-kdebase' 'trinity-kdevelop' 'trinity-kdewebdev') # loop through the blddirs to build each in order for((i=0;i<${#blddirs[@]};i++)); do # copy your dev dir to the build dir (I don't build in my original dev dir) # if working with srpms, you could either install them at this point and # build with 'rpmbuild -bb specfile' or just 'rpmbuild --rebuild srpm'. cp -a ${pbbase}/${blddirs[$i]} $bldbase # if the dir got copied (or spec file exists) -- use it, if not skip it if [[ -d ${bldbase}/${blddirs[$i]} ]]; then # start time to screen & log echo -e "\n$(date '+%b %e %T') building: ${blddirs[$i]}\n" | tee -a ${bldlog} # change into the build dir cd ${bldbase}/${blddirs[$i]} # move any existing packages out to pkgdir (adjust for .rpm or .deb) echo -e "\n Testing for old packages and moving to ${binsavdir}\n" if ls *tar.xz &>/dev/null; then mv -fv *tar.xz ${binsavdir} | tee -a ${bldlog} fi # build the new package (adjust for rpbbuild -bb or whatever deb uses) (makepkg -s) # install and move new package to $pkgbin dir (adjust as needed) # if the build failed, issue warning an move on echo -e "\n Testing for new packages, installing, and moving to ${binpkgdir}\n" if ls *tar.xz &>/dev/null; then sudo pacman -U --noconfirm *tar.xz | tee -a ${bldlog} mv -fv *tar.xz ${binpkgdir} | tee -a ${bldlog} else echo "WARNING: Build of '${blddirs[$i]}' produced no package, skipping..." | tee -a ${bldlog} fi else echo "WARNING: Directory '${bldbase}/${blddirs[$i]}' not found - skipping" | tee -a ${bldlog} fi done exit 0 The link to the full script is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/scr/bldtrinsvn-all.sh It should be able to be easily adapted for rpm based builds or whatever debian and slackware use. The PKGBUILD scripts that Arch Linux uses with "makepkg" work the same way SPEC files work with "rpmbuild" on rpm based distros. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

new squeeze+trinity user

by Paul Cartwright

well, I totally screwed up my Debian Lenny install last night. I was fighting an application error, made some bad choices, and ended up with a non-useable system. X wouldn't work & I could not get apt/aptitude to do anything worthwhile. SO, 9pm last night I started the squeeze upgrade process. just about finished it last night ( gnome login worked, but KDE was not to be found). That was about 12:30am.. 6am I was back at it.. oops, ran out of "/" file space, that sucks.. removed a bunch of useless apps.. got some space back. Installed trinity.. fixed a few squeeze upgrade issue, and about noon today I had my system back. My wife's desktop looks just like it did yesterday, except it says "trinity" on the left hand side:) I doubt she will notice. Her kmail is up & running, as is my gnome login. # uname -a Linux paulandcilla.homelinux.org 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 04:01:41 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux too many trinity apps to list, but here's one: ii kdepim-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1178442 Personal Information Management apps from the official KDE3 release yeah!!!!! -- Paul Cartwright

svn kdm chooser - not allowing login?

by David C. Rankin

Guys, I started the kdm greeter and it started fine on vt:07. It listed my login and looked nice. I type my password, hit return and .. "Login Failed" Huh? I looked though kdmrc and there didn't seem to be anything that would prevent a user login. root wasn't allowed, but that is the default. Anybody else seeing this? Any thoughts on why? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

trinity, squeeze, laptop-wireless

by Paul Cartwright

I installed squeeze on my Dell laptop recently. Then I went through the trinity instructions for installing trinity KDE. Once I finished I had no wireless and could find no way to configure it, nothing worked. It is an Intel wireless card, 2915ABG I think. What I did was install LXDE & ceni. logged out, logged into LXDE session, ran ceni, and configured wireless for a static IP on my subnet. logged out & back into trinity & wireless worked. in trinity, when I started, all the networking tools I could find would not configure my wireless. one did show my wireless router, but would not let me add it or connect to it. -- Paul Cartwright

kdewebdev quanta+ - unmet OPTIONAL dependencies

by David C. Rankin

All, Just a note on the current svn kdewebdev build. There are a few *optional* dependencies for quanta+ that are currently not built. They are probably somewhere in the tree waiting for a cmake port. If not, then we might want to add them to the 'todo' list for the 3.5.13 release. (low priority) Reason - when you first launch quant+ you are greeted with the following list of missing packages: Some applications required for full functionality are missing: - Kommander [http://kommander.kdewebdev.org] - various script based dialogs including the Quick Start dialog will not be available; - Tidy [http://tidy.sourceforge.net] - HTML syntax checking will not be available; - Kompare [http://bruggie.dnsalias.org/kompare] - comparing of files by content will not be available; - GPG (OpenPGP) [http://www.gnupg.de] - preview browser configuration will not be available; - KXSLDbg [http://xsldbg.sourceforge.net/] - XSLT debugging will not be available; - KImageMapEditor [http://www.nongnu.org/kimagemap/] - editing HTML image maps will not be available; - KLinkStatus [http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12318] - link validity checking will not be available; - Cervisia [http://www.kde.org/apps/cervisia] - CVS management plugin will not be available. For Arch Linux (as with most other distributions) tidy and gnupg are already available and can simply be added as dependencies of the kdewebdev package by the person packaging it. (note: the gpg dependency is for gnupg NOT gnupg2) However, the following are only available as kde4 packages (at least on Arch) - Kommander - Kompare - KXSLDbg - KImageMapEditor - KLinkStatus - Cervisia (usually packaged as part of the kde-sdk) Also, since cvs is somewhat outmoded by svn,git,etc.. the quanta dependency for cervisia could just be dropped if it presents too much of a problem to include. (at least in my opinion - others may want it) As noted in the subject, these are OPTIONAL dependencies for quanta so they are low on the manpower priority list, but they are certainly 'nice to have' and convey a bit of 'polish' when they are present. -- David C.

Trinity svn - Runs Very Very Well! Good job Trinity Devs!

by David C. Rankin

All, In going back and forth over "this build issue/that build issue/etc...", after running Trinity on Arch for the past day and kicking the tires, I wanted to make sure I dropped a note letting everyone that has worked so hard on this project know how good it works -> IT WORKS GREAT! Great job to all, this is going to be one fantastic desktop. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Can we make Trinity ignore /usr/share/autostart?

by David C. Rankin

Tim, Robert, Serghei, all Is there a way to tell Trinity to ignore all the kde4 junk in /usr/share/autostart? (other than uninstalling kde4) I say this because I just took all my binary packages and installed them on a box with both a prior kde3 install (in /opt/kde) and a kde4 install (/usr/bin) and things were wild to say the least. I moved both existing ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 directories to ~/.kde-sav and ~/.kde4-sav before launching Trinity. (I forgot to delete the ksycoca from /var/tmp though and I suspect that caused 90% of the problem) Trinity started just fine and did the initial configuration. Then ksplash from the old kde3 install appeared. Then akonadi/nepomuk started trying to index everything, then the kde4 plasma-panel loaded over the Trinity kicker and all the window decorations were gone. I suspect Trinity was trying to pull the decorations from the old kde3 install due to the sysconfigcache in /var/tmp (I'll try deleting that next time), but the real issue is the kde4 autostart mess: [21:42 supersff:/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions] # l /usr/share/autostart/ total 128 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 10 16:53 . drwxr-xr-x 408 root root 12288 Feb 15 11:49 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4417 Jan 27 08:47 kaddressbookmigrator.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3649 Jan 27 08:46 kalarm.autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6539 Jan 18 15:24 kgpg.desktop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11509 Jan 19 16:04 klipper.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4196 Jan 19 16:23 kmix_autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6638 Jan 19 16:03 konqy_preload.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5846 Jan 27 08:46 korgac.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2881 Jan 19 16:04 krunner.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13602 Jan 19 16:04 kwrited-autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10584 Jan 19 16:04 nepomukserver.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3710 Jan 19 16:05 plasma-desktop.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Jan 19 16:05 plasma.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 908 Dec 9 02:51 polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6000 Jan 18 15:24 printer-applet.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3506 Jan 19 16:23 restore_kmix_volumes.desktop In order to make Trinity play nicely with an existing kde4 install, can something be changed in the Trinity code to tell it to ignore all the kde4 autostart files? -- David C.
