Not a TDE problem, a grub problem
by Thierry de Coulon 05 May '25

05 May '25

Hello all, I know this is not a TDE problem, but as some here know much more than I do: I am trying to clone a 256GB SSD to a 512Gb one. I did clone the disk, but O can't bott directly (I get a grub prompt). So I boot to my system fom a USB install thumbdrive, and try to reintsall grub. This is (I think) a grub-efi system (it has a win11 partition that I unfortunately have to keep and is GPT formatted). The error message I get is: grub-install error: cannot copy '/usr/share/locale/fr.gmo' to '/boot/grub/locale/fr.mo': Is a directory And all my searches return nothing about this error message. When I have time (this summer), I can do a complete reinstall but maybe someone here understands more about it and can give a clue? Thierry

PyTQt: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip_tqt_config'
by Darrell Anderson 04 May '25

04 May '25

I'm trying to build TDE bindings packages for Slackware. I'm not a Python wiz kid and don't play one on TV. I understand what is happening in the failure but don't know how to fix. My pytqt build script fails with: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sip_tqt_config' Caused by the configure.py command: import sip_tqt_config I presume the sip4-tqt package built okay because such a file does exist: /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/sip4-tqt/sip_tqt_config.py Running the following command exits with a zero exit code: python3 /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/sip4-tqt/sip_tqt_config.py Running a python shell: import sys print(sys.path) ['', '/usr/lib64/python39.zip', '/usr/lib64/python3.9', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages'] Here is how I compiled sip4-tqt: PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES=$(python3 -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages())" | cut -d ',' -f1 | tr -d "'" | tr -d "\[") FLAGS="$CPUOPT -I${INSTALL_DIR}/include/tqt -I/${INSTALL_DIR}/include -I/usr/include" python3 configure.py \ -b "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin" \ -d "${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/${PRGNAM}" \ -e "${INSTALL_DIR}/include/" \ -u CFLAGS="$FLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$FLAGS" Where $INSTALL_DIR=/opt/trinity. Here is how I am trying to compile pytqt based on my poor understanding of the Debian rules script: PYTHON_VERSION="$(python3 -V | cut -f 2 -d' ' | cut -f 1-2 -d.)" PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES="$(python3 -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages())" | cut -d ',' -f1 | tr -d "'" | tr -d "\[")" FLAGS="$CPUOPT -I${INSTALL_DIR}/include/tqt -I/${INSTALL_DIR}/include -I/usr/include" python3 configure.py \ -b "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin" \ -d "${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/${PRGNAM}" \ -e "${INSTALL_DIR}/include/" \ -l /usr/include/python${PYTHON_VERSION} \ -v ${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/sip4-tqt/ \ -m /usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/config-3.9-x86_64-linux-gnu \ -z CFLAGS="$FLAGS" CXXFLAGS="$FLAGS" Where $INSTALL_DIR=/opt/trinity. Fish out of water.... Thanks. :)

What is tdepyuic?
by Darrell Anderson 04 May '25

04 May '25

I'm building TDE packages for Slackware. I tried to compile desktop-effects-tde. The configuration steps informed me I am missing tdepyuic. I have no idea what that is. A separate package? Part of the Python bindings? Thanks. :)

Testing back traces
by Darrell Anderson 03 May '25

03 May '25

I am creating a Slackware build environment. I want to test back traces (not tripping out symbols). I seem to recall there was a way to test this in TDE but I don't remember. How to test back traces and symbols? Thanks. :)

Once upon a time there was a collection of Konqueror 'do as root' service menus. Does anybody have the collection? Thanks. :)

TDE R14.1.4 released, new target started…
by Slávek Banko 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Hi all, after R14.1.4 was released, the window for the development of R14.1.5 has already been opened. The first pull-requests have already been merged, new translations are merged, the first builds of the packages will be started soon. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. The packages in both repositories are identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Publishing the first R14.1.5 preliminary packages I suppose on 11 May. You can stay up to date on TDE news and development by following our Mastodon channel https://floss.social/@tde If you can, please help supporting the project with a donation. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Thank you for your support! Cheers Slávek --
