Manually enter the folder of the package you like to buld, "make install clean", move to the next. Don't use the "big" Makefiles: /usr/ports/x11/trinity/Makefile .../applications/Makefile .../core/Makefile .../dependencies/Makefile .../libraries/Makefile - just use them to determine the order in wich the packages need to be built.

r14-xdg-update?
by dep 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

greetings, everybody . . . having just completed the ordeal of moving my ubuntu 18.04 install from a 2-tb drive that was popping up increasingly strident messages warning of its impending doom to a 6-tb drive and thus enduring the process of going from MBR to UEFI, the time fast approaches for me to go 18.04 > 20.04. before i do that, though, i thought i'd check and see if there's any definitive solution to the r14-xdg-update error messages that have come here at the startup of TDE (R14.0.10, currently) for many months now. in that i rarely reboot, it's not been a huge problem, but i presume they're there for a reason and before i upgrade i thought i'd try to fix the problem. i searched the archives and found no evidence of a solution. so: is there a solution? if there isn't, is there any harm in just clicking the (several) boxes that pop up and living with the perceived error? that's what i've been doing, but i've never been happy about it. thanks very much in advance for any useful information that might be proffered. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

correct apt repo line for R14.newest?
by Gene Heskett 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

I thought it unusual that this machine was not getting updates, while the one machine tool machine I had tde installed on was. So I looked at the repo list in synaptic and found the deb line for r14 had become unchecked. Checked it, and refreshed. That brought in 313 packages, or tried to, reporting that it wasn't successfull at pulling them all. But when it had installed what it could, I then did another refresh, but it then did not mark any more new ones. Ack the log, the server hung up on me. Since I was then about 110 days of uptime and that many updates it needed to restart the dbus apache2 and tdm kin. I checked them, clicked fwd and was greeted by a bash login on tty1. Logged in and did a sudo reboot. A bit slower than I recall, but but a lot was changed and things seem to be running ok now. But I am left with a suspicion I might not be pulling from the latest mirror. ISTR it was moved several months back, so would someone be kind enough to paste the latest repo line to me? Thanks a bunch. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

everything pretty much upgraded, except for . . .
by dep 02 Jun '21

. . . protonvpn, which i half expected (it blew up on 18.04 -> 20,04 on another machine here, too) and the sound system, to the extent that the little kmixer icon in kicker has a black stripe across it, as if it's in mourning for Nik's troubles of a few days ago. the whole thing has worked so well and for so ling that i've forgotten even where to look. guesses? all i know at this point is aforementioned apparent bereavement. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

while all this stuff is installing . . .
by dep 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

. . . i'm reminded that running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade isn't done until it has been invoked twice with a "no packages to upgrade" message. it works in fits and starts until then. and i'm noticing the downloading of thousands of packages that i do not use and will never use. yes, i use some gnome applications. no, i do not now run nor have i ever willingly run the gnome desktop, nor unity, nor kde-post-3x. surely i don't need the whole damned things in order to use a few applications. i understand an s-load of libraries and such, but my favoring synaptic doesn't imply my need to 40mb of gnome wallpapers. and, fact is, for the few gnome applications i run, i'd far rather have stock TDE furniture (crollbars, etc.) than the silly crap the gnomes think is oh, so cute (possibly because they've never used a computer to do actual work). okay, end of rant. grrr. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

upgrade question
by dep 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

greets, folks . . . i'm about to upgrade my ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 and, as has been my (mostly successful) practice, this involves changing the sources lists, in this case "bionic" to "focal" and running the usual update-upgrade routine. all seems to be going well but for this: N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/ubun… focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' going back over my sources files yet again, i see no reference to architecture at all, never mind i386. before i pull the trigger i want to figure out what this is and whether it will break things -- i know far quicker ways of breaking things, if that were what i wanted to do, which it isn't. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
