kmail vs amanda problem
by Gene Heskett 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

Greetings all; From time to time, kmail does some expiry housekeeping duringthe nightly amanda run, and the disappearing files make amanda spam the logs as follows: STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- coyote /home/gene/Mail lev 0 STRANGE sendbackup: info BACKUP=APPLICATION sendbackup: info APPLICATION=amgtar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar restore [./file-to-restore]+ sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608262193.22812.fKbeO: File removed before we read it ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608264371.22812.1lf78: File removed before we read it ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608264614.22812.zFEou: File removed before we read it | Total bytes written: 6440765440 (6.0GiB, 17MiB/s) sendbackup: size 6289810 sendbackup: native-CRC 9c31bc0e:6440765440 sendbackup: client-CRC 812cf14e:3061318853 sendbackup: end \-------- Is there a dbus command my amanda script can send to tell amanda to hold off expiry till amanda is done? Might be over an hour of expiry holdoff needed at times. Thanks all; Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Right click on them and see if you want change the icon to a bigger size. I sometimes use custom icons in a local dir /foo/IconSets etc. You can download a large icon for each and direct the .desktop to those icons. I hope I explained it well enough. Kate

Pixelated Icons - Trinity/PCLinuxOS
by Edward 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

Hi. I added Firefox and Thunderbird to the Quicklauncher under Trinity/PCLinuxOS. Once the icons are moused-over, the icons that appear in the bubbles above them, are pixelated. The other icons in the launcher (Synaptic, Konsole, Home, Konqueror and Show Desktop) appear fine. When I added the same to my Trinity Debian and Ubuntu desktops, the same icons appeared fine. Could there be something different about the Firefox and Thunderbird icons with PCLinuxOS? In the TDE Menu editor, the icons displayed fine Thanks in advance. Ed

Startup Applications - Trinity/PCLinuxOS
by Edward 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Is there a specific menu selection in Trinity to review or select any startup applications? I'm specifically trying to get hp-systray (HP Device Manager system tray icon) to load in at each login under PCLinuxOS and I'm not seeing any menu selections specific to startup applications. nor anything under either Trinity Control Center or PCLinuxOS Control Center. The Preferences in the HP Device Manager show it is set to 'always show' and it will display in the PCLOS panel once the Device Manager is manually launched, but at the next login, it doesn't load. In my Trinity Debian and Ubuntu Trinity installs, it loads in at each login. Thanks in advance.

Migration of services - 9. patchwork
by Slávek Banko 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Hi all, the ninth on the list of services to migrate - patchwork - is more of a small trip into history. -- Migration status -- Is there any of you who remembers patchwork? Has anyone ever used it? The purpose of this service was to pick patches sent to the mailing list and allow them to be revised: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patchwork_(software) The service was on an old primary server, so it might appear to be the subject of migration. However, this service was probably never used and its purpose was completely replaced by TGW. Therefore, there is no reason to devote any effort to this service. Just a quiet memory. -- What needs to be done -- You may have noticed that I have been talking about this service for the past. The reason is that the service is currently broken anyway - it returns code 500 - see https://patchwork.trinitydesktop.org/ So there is no need to do anything to migrate this service. At most, there can be a deleted DNS record. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does anyone have any objections or other suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

Migration of services - 8. crash reports storage
by Slávek Banko 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Hi all, the eighth service on the list of services to migrate is Crash report storage. -- Migration status -- While for previous services here I could bring positive information, now it's time for a service that is very sad. Because this service resides on old primary server, it requires migration. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any information about this service - nor the source code for server side. Therefore in the current state of service, we can not ensure the issuance of a new ssl certificate. For everything, we must be able to contact Tim. Other problems are that the web interface is unfinished, making it difficult to use. It is not possible to mark a records as completed. At the same time, retrieving the list is often not complete, so there is an increased effort required to obtain the latest records. Many records are generated without the presence of debug symbols, so their usefulness is reduced. -- What needs to be done -- We have to decide what to do next with this service. We will either need to obtain the source code and data of existing records so that we can migrate the service and then work on improving it. Or we could implement the server side of the service from scratch, based on the client side code in tdelibs. Or we can look for a similar service with a GPL license and the ability to install on our server. In any case, it will probably take a lot of effort here to make the service useful. -- More ideas and suggestions? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Do you know of any open source solutions that could serve our purpose? Cheers -- Slávek

Migration of services - 7. automation scripts
by Slávek Banko 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Hi all, the seventh service on the migration list is automation scripts. -- Migration status -- Previously, on the former primary server, automation scripts provided updating of submodules in the master branch in the main 'tde' module, updating clones of repositories for the CGit interface, and generating data for the Commit history page and. Along with the launch of TGW, automation scripts were run on the VPS machine. These scripts now provide not only an update of the master branch, but of all main branches. The CGit interface no longer needs a separate update of the repositories because it displays the repositories directly from the TGW. Processing is now faster and takes place every hour. In case of changes in the common admin or cmake module, it may take longer to process all branches. -- What needs to be done -- In addition to processing submodules, a script for updating translations is run regularly here. This script updates the POT files and merges the translations from the master branch to the stable branch. Currently, this script is initialized manually, because when updating POT templates, TWTW automatically provides an update of PO files, which may take some undefined time. At the same time, it requires that packages be installed that would not otherwise be installed on a public server (such as Xserver screen savers). However, even for this script, it is intended that its execution can be automated. Another thing that will be useful to automate is the update of Summary issues in TGW. -- More ideas and suggestions? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

In a TDM theme's xml file, what does @@@TDEBACKGROUND@@@ point to?
by J Leslie Turriff 09 Dec '20

09 Dec '20

I'm trying to write a custom theme file for TDM, using os_enterprise theme as an example. It contains | <greeter> | <item type="pixmap" > | <normal file="@@@TDMBACKGROUND@@@" /> | : to define the login screen's background. I've looked through the various TDE handbooks and poked around on the wiki, but nothing mentions this symbol. (In fact, the only page in the wiki that I found that discusses the internals of theme files seems to be out of date, since it talks about Theme.rc files, whereas the control file in each /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/themes subdirectory is an xml file. When the os_enterprise theme is active its display looks like its preview.png, even if the background.png file is different; so what is @@@TDEBACKGROUND@@@ pointing to? Leslie
