A wish for KMail...
by Patrick Serru 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi everybody, I use the filter for all my POP accounts: Window "Configure KMail" -> Accounts -> Receiving messages -> Window "Edit Account" -> (POP account) check box "Filter messages if they are larger than 100 bytes". It opens a dialogue (see attached snapshot) with three radio buttons that allow, for each message, to: - Download the message (which will then appear "normaly" in KMail) - Leave the message on the server, - Delete the message from the server without downloading it. The radio button "leave on server" is checked by default, it makes sense. I do not know if many of us use this filter... With a limit set to 100 bytes for all POP accounts, I can say that all messages are filtered. My idea is not the honor to spammers by a download. I have "bins / trash" email accounts where spammers have fun, and email accounts more serious. The problem is that there are sometimes hundreds of messages, and depending on the account, almost all to be downloaded or nearly all, to be thrown. I am interested in the title line of the table of the filter dialogue, the one that allows possibly, by a click, sorting of the emails by subjects, by senders, recipients, etc. It begins (left hand) by a green icon representing the columns of buttons for mails "to be downloaded". Then at the left of this icon, a yellow one for "mail to stay on the server". Finally, a red cross for "mails to be deleted from the server". My hope is that if I click on the green icon (first left), all the radio buttons" to be Downloaded" ** to be enabled (activated). Same with the red cross. ** One could imagine that these cliques would only work for messages that still have their button "keep on server" active, but we must have the possibility to put them back in the "leave on server" state, in case of click error... That's it. I hope that I have been clear! I know that the project is far from being ready for the application of this kind of wishes, but in six months, maybe? Cheers, Patrick

The Trinity logo
by E. Liddell 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

(Note: if you're also reading the dev mailing list, you already know about all of this.) There has been some interest in creating a new logo for Trinity as part of the ongoing rebranding effort. The current logo is too similar to KDE's (which is trademarked), and we want to avoid any confusion between us and them. Anyone interested is invited to 1. submit a design for the logo or 2. vote on the designs we already have. L0ner sh4dou has offered two designs, which you can view at http://db.tt/LwqZWTuP and http://db.tt/YpivoAGk . For those who would like a little context, his original dev-list email can be found at http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4374 I submitted nine designs, which you can view at http://postimage.org/image/5g0xh97rr/ . I freely admit that several of them are no good. Again, for context, you can find my original dev-list email at http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4501 There has also been some talk about adding additional desktop backgrounds, icon themes, and/or QT widget themes to kdeartwork, so if anyone has anything interesting along those lines, please drop a link to the list.

Let's end this kind of review
by Darrell Anderson 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Article: http://www.datamation.com/open-source/the-fragmentation-of-the-linux-deskto… End of the first page: "...Because maintaining and updating the code is a huge effort, and the development team is small, TDE does suffer from more bugs than you may be used to...." Our release date goal is May 2012, but let's not release R14.0.0 unless all significant blocker, critical, and major bugs are resolved. :) I would like to ask that we consider point releases when serious bugs need to be backported to a current release. For example, when we need to release R14.0.1 then we build and release new packages. I don't think any of us have been doing that. Just thinking out loud.... Darrell

VMWARE player complains about libcanberra-gtk-module
by daniele.manghi＠libero.it 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

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

cmake build options - amarok
by Mike Howard 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi All, I have a question of a similar nature to Darrell's earlier in the list (entitled Building tdesdk with cmake) but in this case about Amarok, though the answer may well apply to other packages. When building the good old fashioned way, I would have used '--enable-postgres' (amongst other options) but there appears no cmake equivalent. I had hoped that the configure/build process would detect that the depends are available and build in support automatically but that is not the case, at least for me. So, how, using cmake, do I specify that I want postgres support? Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!

Building tdesdk with cmake
by Darrell Anderson 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

GIT 2678 tdesdk was built with automake, but now in GIT is built with cmake. In my previous automake build script I had these two build options: --with-apr-config=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apu-config=/usr/bin/apu-1-config Are these build options necessary in the cmake version or are they automatically detected? I don't see anything obvious in the cmake files. Darrell

KDE 3.5.13 up ! and Kaffeine OSD
by pierre.lag6633＠free.fr 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, Just succeeded in downloading and installing Kaffeine 3.5.13 (and some other parts) on a brand new Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) OS install. So thank you so much for the work, it's great. Only worry so far is the colours of the OSD. I saw there were some posts around here http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.devel/1975 about that issue, but no changes in xine configuration has any effect on the problem. So I made some more investigations. I have a 3.5.12 version rolling on the same machine on a Debian Squeeze third boot disk, so I simply and roughly compare and replace some pieces to see what was the origin of this presumably bug. Finally, replacing only the libxinepart.so in /opt/trinity/lib/trinity of Lisa by the 3.5.12 version I have in /opt/trinity/lib/kde3 of Squeeze (name of directory seems to have change between these two versions) changes back the OSD to its initial colours. If it can help further more : Squeeze version date : sam. 14 août 2010 09:29:58 Lisa version date : sam. 15 oct. 2011 02:35:36 So I presume this library has something related to that issue. I'm not a developer, but if I can help comparing source or finding more information, just let me know. I can easily compare versions as they are both rolling on the same machine ;). Cheers and thanks so much again for your fantastic work at TDE. Pierre

K Menu - kicker crash
by Mike Howard 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

I've just completed a TDE build from scratch on a fresh Debian Wheezy system, from the stable source. There were a number of issues to do with the source, which I'll document separately, in case it's useful to others. One problem that I have so far found with the resulting installation is 'kicker' crashing when attempting to select the 'System' sub menu option. In more detail, using the mouse to select 'K Menu' and then moving the mouse pointer to the 'System' entry in the upper, 'All Applications' portion of the menu, _always_ results in a crash, bringing up the 'KDE Panel - The KDE Crash Handler' dialog box. Any body any ideas? Is there a way to determine what, if any, options should be available on the sub menu on this system? Obviously there will be different options available on different systems. Maybe it's crashing cos it's empty. Cheers, Mike. --
