Can't mount ecryptfs home dir, can log in as unencrypted user

by Patricia J Hawkins

Hi all, This is largely a heads up, as everything is half-working, and I think I see the solution on the DOWN UNTIL 7PM canonical forums. No mouse, have emacs but emacs is currently NOT pasting to the system clipboard; email isn't setup in emacs under this user, and I won't be taking the time to fix just now. So, no cut & paste. Sorry (and ARRRGHHH!) I'm usually phawkins <phawkins(a)connact.com>@ <phawkins(a)connact.com> connact.com <phawkins(a)connact.com>, but temporarily subscribed via gmail. I updated Aug 15 and 17; the logout suspend option, which hadn't been in my logout menu since the last major upgrade, appeared as of 8/15; I've been using suspend since then; suspended last night, May not be relevant, did not see any suspend-type errors. I couldn't log in this morning as my usual ecryptfs-home self; just got a gray screen; rebooted multiple times, finally got a trinity login screen; got .Iceauthority errors, couldn't log in as usual usr (pjh) even under xfce; logged in as an unecrypted user; it's all working as it should except my touchpad is not working (Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop) and I seem to have never copied over my usual emacs setup stuff (argh.) Mouse: looking at the error files, could just be that I haven't logged into this user since before I was on Trinity (was kde3) and something didn't translate correctly. Or could be related to the other issue, see below. Ecryptfs: Was able to sudo -u pjh but couldn't mount usual /home/pjh via ecryptfs-recover-private or ecryptfs-mount-private; googling on the error ("open: No such file or directory") implicates /dev/shm (or /run/shm) and upgrade issues with that; Google shows me CONSIDERABLE discussion on the temporarily inaccessible ubuntu forums; one or two tweaks for other systems (adding mount for /dev/shm or /run/shm to fstab) don't work. I'm going to go off and practice my fiddle for this afternoon's morris gig at the Providence, RI Waterfire. See Red Herring Morris on the web. Thanks all! Am on Ubuntu 11.10 using the generic ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net<http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity> /trinity <http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity> sources in sources.iist, plus trinity-builddeps; have all the usual ubuntu sources plus us.archive.ubuntu.com; am not currently using slavek-banko sources, maybe I should. Good grief, couldn't get to the Gmail send button using tab key in firefox, had to save a draft & send from my phone. Enough!

Mandriva RPMs

That was probably me, my packages are still available if anybody wants them. The core stuff in my packages works OK, but I had a lot of trouble with the extras failing for various reasons and I've not had enough time to look at this for several months. However, I've now had a quick look at Francois's packages, which are are definite improvement on my own efforts. I have had the following problems though (using the X86_64 build) : 1 - I have had a lot of trouble getting the TDE option to appear on the login managers session menu. As far as I can tell this is because the /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/45TDE.desktop file isn't being reliably generated/installed. Do the files in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ get generated after installation nothing in this folder appears to exist in any of the RPM packages? I ended up writing my own 45TDE.desktop file to fix this so that I could log in. 2 - Konsole doesn't get added to the menu after installation. 3 - Most of the applets on the panel failed to load when logging in as a user an existing .trinity directory (a clean user was OK). This was easily solved by manually adding them again though. 4 - A number of the menus on the K menu were empty after the upgrade, when looking at them in kmenuedit, these menus had been given a "KDE3" submenu, which was also empty. Deleting this KDE submenu and saving would then cause the original menu entries to magically re-appear. Odd...

tdelibs - pkg-config file incomplete

by Mike Howard

Hi All, I not having much luck with responses at the moment but here goes .... :) The pkg-config file (tdelibs.pc) installed when building tdelibs from git appears incomplete. There is no version stanza (easily fixable), Libs: stanza or Cflags stanza. If the Libs: and Cflags stanzas should be there (which I assume they should), what should the contain? Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!

Build kdebase fails - undefined reference to `kdemain'

Hi All, Buoyed by my success building TDE on Wheezy, using the source, I thought I'd give the latest git another try. Anyway, all goes well until attempting to build tdebase, which fails with the following (snippet); Scanning dependencies of target kcontrol make[2]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make -f kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/build.make kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/build make[2]: Entering directory `/tde/build/tdebase' /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /tde/build/tdebase/CMakeFiles [ 13%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o cd /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol && /usr/bin/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -include tqt.h -I/tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol -I/opt/trinity/include -o CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o -c /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp Linking CXX executable kcontrol cd /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/link.txt --verbose=1 /usr/bin/c++ -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -include tqt.h CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o -o kcontrol -rdynamic libtdeinit_kcontrol.so /opt/trinity/lib/libkhtml.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkutils.so.1.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkparts.so.2.1.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeprint.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeui.so.4.2.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig /opt/trinity/lib/libtdesu.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1.0.1 /opt/trinity/lib/libkjs.so.1.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdecore.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdefx.so.4.2.0 -ltqt -ltqt-mt -lXrender -lX11 -lz -lXcomposite -lICE -lSM -lutil -lpcre -ljpeg -Wl,-rpath,/tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol: CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o: In function `main': kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp:(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `kdemain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [kcontrol/kcontrol/kcontrol] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make[1]: *** [kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make: *** [all] Error 2 Anybody any ideas?

[sort of OT] Trinity etc. are damaging Linux

by Lisi

I was at a local LUG meeting today and was very distressed that the above view should be expressed, and forcefully. I found it distressing because that is quite some allegation - that we and Mate users and Cinnamon users etc., (all splinter groups) are actually damaging Linux, doing it harm. The fact that we are free to digress and disagree is why I like open source so much. Take away that freedom and we might as well all use Windows. It seemed to me a quite extraordinary allegation. And as I say, I found it personally upsetting. Since Linux without its freedom would not be Linux, nothing would seem to me more terminally harmful to Linux than to destroy that freedom. I am a congenital maverick. I claim the right to remain a maverick and to swim against the tide as much as I like! Lisi

tdebase query

by Mike Howard

I'm just building TDE (on fedora 17) and when configuring tdebase it reports; CMake Warning: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: WITH_SHADOW Anybody any ideas as to why? The option is still in the top level CMakeLists.txt file and I assume still relevant. Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!

openSuSE & TDE

by Thierry de Coulon

As no version of Debian would accept my setup on a Laptop, I installed openSuSE (12.1, 64bit). I had left SuSE some years ago because of KDE 4, now I discover that not only have they gone back to Grub Legacy, but there is a one-click install of KDE 3.5 available. Seems the Attachmate ownership rather brings good things... Now, considering that TDE is now a "better" KDE 3.x, will we be seing TDE in the openSuSE reprositories? Thierry

TDE 3.5.13 test build for Mageia 2

by François ANDRIOT

Hello, As a Mageia 2 user, I found annoying not to have any usable TDE version. So, I built myself some TDE packages for Mageia 2. These are based on the Redhat packages, which were slightly updated to work on Mageia. For end-user, it means that TDE is already very usable, since it has all updates that Fedora/RHEL already has. For maintainer (me, I guess), it's now possible to build TDE for all RHEL/Fedora/Mageia distributions with an unique procedure. I guess that adding support for Mandriva 2011 will be easy too, since these distributions are very close. For now, I've built tdebase only. To install it on Mageia 2 (x86_64 only, no i386): First, add the repositories: urpmi.addmedia tde-3.5.13-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/x86_64/ urpmi.addmedia tde-3.5.13-noarch http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/noarch/ urpmi.addmedia tde-extras-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-extras/RPMS/x86_64/ Then, install the tdebase package: urpmi trinity-tdebase And there you go. You should be able to choose a new "TDE" se ssssion in your favorite DM (GDM, KDM, or anything else). Francois
