TDE on FreeBSD: tdelibs fails to build
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi all! I just upgraded my FreeBSD box and ran into this problem when rebuilding tde: dependencies et al. builds fine, tdelibs compiles but after compilation the one test failes: Start 31: tdeio/kmimetypetest 31/40 Test #31: tdeio/kmimetypetest ...............................***Failed So building tdelibs fails. Running kmimetypetest by hand gives this: # ./tdelibs/work/tdelibs-trinity_14.0.5/.build/tdeio/tests/kmimetypetest kmimetypetest: WARNING: Could not find mime type application/octet-stream kmimetypetest: WARNING: No mime types installed. ERROR: icon for file:///root is unknown, expected folder! Running as user gives the same error, just with file:///[user] in the last line. Is this test important or can I just work my way around and everything will turn out nice? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

very wide konsole ( > 223 columns) + mouse events (machine: debian stable)
by Ilya Dogolazky 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Hello ! On a wide display my konsole window has more than 223 columns. So all the mouse events (clicks and mouse wheel scrolling) with column coordinate bigger than 223 are getting corrupted. As a result VIM receives wrong mouse event coordinates. This is not a VIM specific problem, because VIM works fine in xterm window on the same machine (with the same settings as usual). I compiled a testing ncurses application from here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47256750 It reports corrupted coordinates if running in xterm with TERM=xterm but it reports right values when running in xterm with TERM=xterm-1006 (exactly as it is intended to work). Alas in konsole this application either reports corrupted coordinates with TERM=xterm or doesn't recognize mouse events at all with TERM=xterm-1006 Maybe someone knows how to get mouse events reported properly ? Cheers, Ilya D.

TDE Gitea Workspace Available!
by Slávek Banko 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW) collaboration tool. TGW is a Gitea-based, GitHub-style, self-hosted copy of the official source code repositories that is synchronized with the main server on a hourly basis. It offers wider bandwidth and a collaboration workflow that helps achieving the aim of providing: * fast access to the source code, both through Git or web interface * an easy tool for users and external developers to propose code changes and improvements * a quick way for code sharing and collaboration amongst developers * a simple workflow for reviewing, testing and merging code patches TGW has been thought to serve the needs of the following groups: * people who want to have fast anonymous read-only access to the TDE source code * users who intend to report bugs and propose ideas for ehnancement * contributors who intend to submit code changes for inclusion into TDE official source code * developers who want to cooperate on some common functionality or bug fix TDE core developers are already using TGW on a daily basis and they hope more and more users and contributors will join them soon. Read more about TGW and how to use it on the wiki https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace and access the workspace at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea . Credits and acknowledgements We thanks all the people that are (or have been) involved in making TDE the great desktop environment that it is. We would like to officially thanks vpsFree.org for kindly providing free hosting space for the TDE Gitea Workspace.

TDE on Armbian
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

I've got an SBC (not a raspberry) with an ARM processor. I've managed to install Armbian. As it will be running headless but I'd like to take a look at what it has been recording from time to time, kdrc would be perfect. I've done that on a Raspberry (thanks to QOS), but it seems the only TDE for arm is for Raspbian and there are unsatisfied dependancies when I try to install on Armbian. I'll try to see what I can do with vnc, but has anyone made experiences with Armbian? Note: I was able to install KDE 4's krfb on Armbian, but some "smart" developper has decided (for security I imagine) that you have to give the password for kwallet, then create an unattended password everytime - which totaly defeats the use as headless remote access.... Have a good day, Thierry

Kaffeine unattended
by Thierry de Coulon 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

I don't know if someone can help me on this one. The goal is as follow: I have an older machine, running Wheezy and TDE 13.2 As it's only used to record satellite-TV I never felt the need to update it and won't do unless necessary. Now what I would like to do is record something in a week, without leaving the computer on for all that time. I can let the computer start at the right time. When starting it loads kaffeine. I've programmed the recording. My problem is this: a) Kaffeine is started by a link in .trinity/Autostart. The programs starts OK but the Recording Schedule is empty. No recording. b) I close kaffeine and start it again. Now the Recording Schedule is there. Is there some magical string to add so that Kaffeine autostarts *AND* loads the Recording schedule? man or --help don't provide anything about recording. Thierry

Liddel's messages, they still end up in spam. So I have to fish them out as well. A friend at google says it happens because their filtering setups, are designed to favour paid adverts and spam tag nonpaying competitors. He guesses E. Liddel, must be similar enough to a nonpaying competitor to be filtered into spam. Honestly I think they have it out for Liddel. Cheers to all Kate PS Whenever I see an email from Felmon, I always think Felonious Monk, and then think of the Monk series. Which only proves, I have a strange mind. No offense Felmon.

Trinity Desktop and IMEs
by Promet 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi, I am a CJK user which relies on IMEs (i.e. iBus, fcitx) etc. to type my native language. However, I found that most of the IMEs only work with modern toolkit libraries, like Qt4/5 and GTK 2/3. I tried R14.0.4 and fcitx does not work on it. It seems that unless these IMEs provide libraries to work with Qt3, it is impossible to get IMEs working in TDE. So my question is, are there any workarounds for such a situation?
