keepassx crashes - due to Qt4-TDEStyle
by William Morder 28 Dec '20

28 Dec '20

Never before had any problems with keepass or keepassx or any of its variants; not when running TDE or other desktops, not when using it on Android, etc. But now it crashes every time I try to open it. I've attached a screenshot which shows the error message. Does anybody have a clue what is the problem? Bill

Migration of services - 10. primary archive
by Slávek Banko 23 Dec '20

23 Dec '20

Hi all, the tenth service on the migration list is the primary archive. -- Migration status -- The change of the primary archive was made before the release of R14.0.7 (in October 2019). This removed the dependency of the primary archive on QuickBuild, which made it possible to make a change in the archive layout and cleanup. The reprepro tool is now used to manage repositories of deb packages, which allows us to publish new releases very smoothly. Thanks to the use of reprepro, Contents files for apt-file are also available. Because the primary archive is too large to be placed on a tde-box or tde-vps, it is located on my home server. In order to reduce the size for the mirror system, packages of older versions are excluded. I would like to thank those who provides mirrors for our repositories, and especially Mike Bird for his efforts and attention in managing the primary mirror and overseeing the status of other mirrors. -- What needs to be done -- We may consider placing the primary archive in a hosting center - for example, by purchasing larger disks for tde-box or by increasing the space provided for tde-vps. However, it will probably be a good idea to consider such changes only after we are able to manage the project funds and accept donations. -- More ideas and suggestions? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

Weird toolbar issues in kMail and Kate
by J Leslie Turriff 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

A while ago I wanted to try placing my kMail toolbar on the right side of the main window (I normally keep it on the left). When I decided that wasn't helpful I tried to move it back, but it didn't want to; stayed on the right side. I eventually got it to go back again (somehow), but now whenever I open kMail it's collapsed (just showing the handle at top left below the menu) and I have to expand it each time kMail starts. Any suggestions for fixing that? Also, in Kate, which has multiple, somehow nested, toolbars, I'm having trouble getting it to put the various buttons where I want them. In my 'gaming' account they're set the way I find most convenient, with the Save, Close and Quit buttons together, but in my 'working' account they stubbornly refuse to associate. (See attached screenshots.) What controls where these buttons appear in the toolbar? Leslie

Trinity Help Center printing question
by J Leslie Turriff 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

I want to print the manual for an application from the Trinity Help Center. If I click on the printer icon in the toolbar the dialog window says "all pages". Is that all pages for the application being viewed, or all pages for the Help Center? I looked at the handbook for the Help Center itself, but for printing it says "Print the contents of the currently visible page." Confusion reigns. Leslie

Eliminating Caption Bars
by Forrest Leeson 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Selecting Advanced|No Border from the window operations menu will remove the caption bar from a window. In theory you can set a preference through Special Window Settings / Special Application Settings to do this automatically, but it doesn't always work: e.g., LibreOffice windows respond to the window operations menu, but setting SWS and SAS preferences does nothing. I wonder why? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

I just run rsync and then sleep 10800. If things are real busy before a release I sleep 1800 instead. Our servers all have a line for perpetual jobs in /etc/inittab so we don't worry about the job dying and not respawning: yp:12345:respawn:/root/perpetual My bash script looks like this. You may prefer something a bit different. Check with Slávek whether he prefers secondaries to pull from tde-mirror.yosemite.net or whether he has an alias in his DNS that he would prefer you to use.

Missing files are handled by a redirector and corrupted files are handled by signatures. Then you'd need to configure your server to provide the files via at least http and maybe also rsync. When ready tell Slávek and he'll add you to the mirror list. I also monitor my mirror with Nagios and a cronjob sends me a simple daily status report with output from df and some checks on the secondary mirrors. --Mike

Migration of services - 4. wiki
by Slávek Banko 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

Hi all, the fifth service on the migration list is wiki. -- Migration status -- A new wiki has been created, data from the existing one has been migrated. User accounts have not been migrated, so users must create new ones. -- What needs to be done -- A new TDE skin remains to be created. Some wiki pages deserve to be updated - for example, Project RoadMap, Nightly Builds,... I have an idea that pages with information about individual applications could be created in the wiki, so that an overview of these pages can replace the list of applications, which is statically on the main web. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the new mailing lists? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek
