Some progress on FreeBSD 10.1
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi all! At last I found some time to try compiling TDE on FreeBSD - and I have a question, too :-) First of all, I manged to compile tqt3 using gcc47 and as fas as I can tell all provided testprograms (example/ and tutorial/) are working as expected, just "examples/thread" ends up non-responsive. I have not tried gcc48. What I did not get right: * I failed to set the correct compiler, so I had to add a symlink from g++47 -> g++ and gcc47 -> gcc * I had to add "-thread" to configure, otherwise the build fails (debian: both "-thread" and "-no-thread" builds succeed) * I had to add "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<...>/tqt3/lib", otherwise the build fails because "tquic" misses it's libriaries. * some build options like OpenGL support etc. So my questions are: * Is there a way to set the compiler gp "g++47" and "gcc47" ? * What are the build options for the current debian build? "configure" gives me this list: Build type: freebsd-g++ Configuration ....... nocrosscompiler minimal-config small-config medium-config large-config full-config styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace inputmethod network canvas table xml sql release dll thread largefile stl system-mng system-jpeg system-png png no-glibmainloop gif zlib bigcodecs x11sm xshape xkb inputmethod STL support ......... yes PCH support ......... no IPv6 support ........ no Thread support ...... yes NIS support ......... no CUPS support ........ no Large File support .. partial GIF support ......... yes MNG support ......... plugin (system) JPEG support ........ plugin (system) PNG support ......... yes (system) Glib main loop support ......... no zlib support ........ yes OpenGL support ...... no NAS sound support ... no Session management .. yes XShape support ...... yes Xinerama support .... no Tablet support ...... no Xcursor support ..... no XRandR support ...... no XRender support ..... no Xft support ......... no XKB Support ......... yes immodule support .... yes immodule ext support no Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

kpdf problems
by Dan Youngquist 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

I've been having a couple problems with kpdf. Both have been going on for some time now; I don't remember exactly when they started, but it could've been when I switched from 13.2 to R14 several months ago. This is on Debian 7. 1. Occasionally it will refuse to render a single page of a multipage PDF (or maybe a couple pages of a very long document), when other viewers render all pages just fine. It's the same pages every time, and there's nothing different about them that I can see -- just a random page in the middle of a document. If I burst the PDF into individual files for each page, it still refuses to render that same page. 2. It "forgets" a page as soon as it's no longer displayed, and has to re-render it to display it again. It's as though Memory Usage is set to Low instead of Normal or Aggressive, but the setting makes no difference. This is very inconvenient in cases where it takes more than a fraction of a second to render a page, which is the case with most of the PDFs I use. 3. One more that's not a new problem, just the way kpdf has always been: It's extremely slow -- something like 3x slower than Adobe Reader, and at least 50% slower than Evince. I'd have switched to one of those long ago, but there are several features of kpdf that I really like. Is there any chance of getting these things fixed? Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

New install, one icon not working
by Curt Howland 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Good afternoon. I've recently had to reinstall my work laptop, and rather than try to make Windows work again, I was given permission to run Linux. Debian Wheezy, TDE 14. Everything installed cleanly, and works. There is only one thing I've found that is a problem, the Network Manager icon in the system tray is not full sized, it's maybe 4 pixels square. http://priss.com/20150119_Net_Manager.png That's a screen-grab of my system tray, showing the microscopic icon for Network Manager between the screen size and VLC cone. I've tried re-adding it, same size. If I run XFCE, the icon shows up just fine. Suggestions? -- The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage. - Thucydides

Preliminary-stable-builds: new platforms and new distribution
by Slávek Banko 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi all, I have for you some informations about alternative apt source 'preliminary-stable-builds'. 1) Because the release of Jessie as a new stable series is approaching, I extended the platforms for which are packages built. Besides usual amd64, i386, armel and armhf. a) mips => 100% done b) powerpc => due to a technical problem with qemu-user are not built c) arm64 => 100% done - someone has such hardware? We are ready :) 2) On the user wish I added build for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) on PowerPC platform (Ubuntu Ports) => 100% done. 3) Finally, preliminary packages for upcoming Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid) are available - the usual platforms amd64 and i386. And, of course, are continually updated packages :) -- Slávek

R14 Kpilot and KOrganizer Reminder Daemon Problems.
by Will Hill 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi, I'm new here but have been enjoying TDE for about a year. I like it so much that I keep a blog of it, http://50.80.140.55/photo_album/chron/desktop/trinity16.html The KPilotDaemon in R14 of TDE no longer works for me. I'm using i386 Wheezy. The daemon goes into some kind of CPU consuming loop and I'm unable to sync my Handsrping Visor. This was working in the previous release of TDE and that made me very happy. I'd like to track down the problem myself but was unable to build the Kpilot package from the Wheezy source package. I tried to do it the Debian way as found, https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial it looks like the location directories don't take, willhill@homefree:~/src/kpilot-trinity-14.0.0-r142$ fakeroot debian/rules binary test -x debian/rules dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead dh_installdirs -A install: cannot change permissions of `debian/kpilot-trinity': No such file or directory dh_installdirs: install -d debian/kpilot-trinity returned exit code 1 make: *** [common-install-prehook-impl] Error 2 I found the instructions for TDE cmake, https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial but it looks like that's what the Debian package tries to do. Is there some instruction that I'm overlooking? Separately, the KOrganizer reminder daemon no longer notifies me at the time I'd like it to remind me of things. It goes off much later, perhaps on resume from sleep. The combination of problems is annoying.

desktop crashing
by dep 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

sorry to be such a bother, but as long as i'm bringing things up, here's one that has been an issue for a couple of years and survived into R14. my desktop crashes, but in such a way as to not even be noticeable at first. i have in lieu of wallpaper xplanet set up as a realtime moon phase indicator, updating hourly. the way i tell the desktop has crashed is that it doesn't update -- in this case it last refreshed at 10:30 a.m. yesterday. i believe that i was probably editing pictures at that time, though would not swear to it. after it crashes, a right click on the desktop does not produce the expected menu. as it happens, kicker and everything else continues to function as expected -- in fact, it was just now that i noticed that the desktop itself had gone south. i thought i'd look in the x error log, bit i see that the one i have, ~/.xsession-errors, is of an unspecified file type and won't open in a text editor (it reports its size as 500.0 k). any idea if there's a log that might let me see what's going on here and if so what log it might be? bonus points, how i might restart the desktop without logging out and back in? extra bonus points, how i might fix it so it doesn't do this anymore? i'm running some flavor of ubuntu 12.04LTS -- i say some flavor because when i sought to upgrade a few days ago the ubuntu upgrader refused, citing third-party apps or a beta version of the opsys, or something; it didn't specify. i thought i had bog standard 12.04LTS on the machine but am apparently wrong. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Hi, How is it possible to configure TDM / TDE so that it does allow any user to have more than one session? TDM/Trinity after update to R14, will actually start a second session but the first goes looked.
