[trinity-users] arch availability
by Felix Miata 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

If https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall makes any mention of arches, I'm not seeing it. Is TDE available for all Debian's arches, or only those for which Windows flavors exist (Intel86/AMD)? I just put Jessie on a PowerMac G4, and would like to enjoy TDE on it if possible. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

Kmail -- offline mode
by Stefan Krusche 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Hello everyone, as of recently when kmail is started a dialog pops up which says that kmail is in offline mode and asks whether I would like to switch to online mode. I don't know where this comes from, but I guess it may have something to do with some dbus- or notification-related package I have removed some time ago. But why would kmail notify being in offline mode everytime it gets started though I never switched to offline mode before?! Any hints about where to look at to investigate further are welcome. Regards, Stefan

Build Krusader
by Oleg Levenets 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hi, I continue to build tde packages with clang. The last application that refused to compile is Krusader. I checked git, but there are not any suitable patches. I'm attaching my log, unfortunately, I'm not a programmer and I'll be happy for any help!

tdemultimedia build with clang
by Oleg Levenets 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hello, I was going to create a TDE tree using Clang for building. I can not build a tdemultimedia package, it always leads to a binary archive build error: Makefile:766: recipe for target 'StereoVolumeControl_impl.lo' failed make[4]: *** [StereoVolumeControl_impl.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdemultimedia/tdemultimedia/build-tdemultimedia/noatun/library/noatunarts' Makefile:934: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdemultimedia/tdemultimedia/build-tdemultimedia/noatun/library' Makefile:833: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdemultimedia/tdemultimedia/build-tdemultimedia/noatun' Makefile:652: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/build/tmp-tdemultimedia/tdemultimedia/build-tdemultimedia' Makefile:569: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 I tried to build it with the parameter NUMJOBS = "- j1", but it also did not yield any result.

Update on the Gemini Linux/Android phone
by dep 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

They've shipped some units (though it appears mine may be a month or two away still), but today they released their state of play on Linux, which I thought may be of interest. As I've mentioned earlier, it's my hope to run TDE on this device. It's possible (though I'd be probably overly optimistic in expecting) that by the time I get the device, or anyone but the earliest backers get theirs, this will be much farther along. The information is here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gemini-pda-android-linux-keyboard-mobile… It says in part: We have been extremely busy in the past few months to make sure that the Gemini user experience will be on par with the tremendous expectation that you all have for the device. For this reason, we decided to focus mainly on the Gemini hardware and the Android operating system running smoothly on the device. Currently all manufactured Gemini devices will only have Android OS installed out of the box - you will have a bit more work to do to create a dual-boot Gemini device running Linux and Android. . . . We have developed a Gemini Flashing Tool that will enable you to partition your Gemini flash memory and install Linux alongside Android. The Gemini Flashing Tool runs on a standard PC (in fact it should be able run on Windows, Mac and Linux) and it’s basically a front-end to well know utilities such as adb, Xflash and fastboot. It will guide you through the various steps needed to install Linux on the Gemini, allowing you to choose the space to be reserved for Android and for Linux. By using the partition tool you will basically transform your Android-only Gemini into a dual boot Android/Linux Gemini (and back, if you wish so). You can also use the tool to manually update Android, for example to install a rooted Android version. Now, on to the much debated point – the choice of Linux distribution available for the Gemini. You might remember that we said in the past that we planned to release a Debian firmware. This will not change, Debian is going to be supported, even though we are sorry to say that we haven’t been able to allocate resources to it lately, and as a result we did not make much progress in terms of supported drivers (yet). However, we are thrilled to say that other Linux flavours have been ported to Gemini too! We also said that we want to enable the device to run many different version of Linux. We are really excited to say that at the moment we have the following Linux distributions fully or partially running on the Gemini: Debian Sailfish OS Ubuntu 17.04 Postmarket OS (an experimental version running Hildon UI – may look familiar to MeeGo/Maemo users) Special Mention: a few months back we got in touch with some open source members and in particular with Nikita Ukhrenkov. Nikita really helped us in many ways, and led a community effort to port a number of Linux-based operating systems on the Gemini. Nikita will be joining us at our stand at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (Hall 7 stand 7K40) and he will be showing some of the Linux version at out Linux showcase next week. Please note that although many functionality are already working (including 4G connection on Sailfish!), these are still early days and as such we still have to deal with performance issues, missing drivers, keyboard layouts and other issues. However, we believe that Linux is well underway for the Gemini and with your help we can take it much further.. If you think you can help us developing things further, please jump in, it’s now the right time! The various Linux firmware and the partition tool, will be available on our new support Website support.planetcom.co.uk .Please mark this Web address, as this is the place that will contain official information regarding Gemini support, tutorials, tips and software downloads for your Gemini. If you are a developer and want to talk to us or get in touch with other fellow developers, you can do so now using our new developer forum: http://developer.planetcom.co.uk/ We hope this website will simplify the coordination of new and already existing projects, for example the work carried on by Adam Boardman at https://github.com/gemian/gemini-keyboard-apps/wiki, to whom we are really grateful. We are also now confirming that we will be opening the source code for the Linux kernel and the boot loader for the Gemini. We know that some users have been asking for this in order for the Linux developer community to be able to contribute properly. [eoq] This all seems interesting and hopeful. Am I right in thinking that if Debian runs on it, TDE will as well? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Keyboard Problems us_intl
by Christian Schmitz 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

Hello everyone: I have a opensuse tumbleweed, i found and install TDE since 2 days. Everything seen right but i have a little problem: MY KEYBOARD. The situation: I am spanish talker, but i have a english keyboard. Normally i use us_intl variant with sucess. Before to install TDE i used Plasma with us_intl without problem, even the terminal TTY1 is working us_intl. The problem: Now in trinity i see that INTL variant does not work, only english layout. I dont know but also dont work the quotation marks so is unposiible write some like printf("hello" ); into kate . The most strange: Firefox and libreoffice work with the intl variant under TDE (i cant program but at least i can write a letter jejejeje) What tested: 1)system preferences>keyboard layout> generic105key (intl) Rebooted and nothing 2)Disable keyboards layout Rebooted and nothing Also i noted that i have a small applet of IBUS for emojis..... is possible disable it? How? I do not use emojis.Can be this are disturbing? Best Regards Christian -- Be Free, Be Linux

arts from source code with JACK
by Dave 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

I can't seem to compile arts from source code with JACK. I can turn off the Jack option and all compiles correctly. This from the recent LinuxFromScratch build. Jack2-1.9.12 Trinity R14.0.4 from git pack Environment used: INFOPATH=/usr/share/info LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib:/usr/local/tqt3/build-t/lib:/usr/local/tqt3/lib:/opt/trinity/include/jack MANPATH=/usr/share/man PATH=/usr/local/tqt3/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/trinity/bin PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/tqt3/build-t/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/trinity/include/jack DIRSTACK=() LIBDIR=/opt/trinity/lib MANDIR=/opt/trinity/man QTDIR=/usr/local/tqt3 SYSCONFDIR=/etc/trinity XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/ XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/ XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/xdg-root local DIR; for DIR in ${!PATHVARIABLE}; if [ "$DIR" != "$1" ]; then NEWPATH=${NEWPATH:+$NEWPATH:}$DIR; PREFIX=/opt/trinity XORG_PREFIX=/usr HOME=/root The error that kills the build: /sources/trinity/dependencies/arts/flow/audioiojack.cc:26:10: fatal error: jack/jack.h: No such file or directory locate jack.h finds /opt/trinity/include/jack/jack.h I notice that in the CMakeLists.txt, the files refers to var LIBJACK, which is not defined. I also remember seeing a reference to TQT3DIR somewhere, but can't find it not. did try TQT3DIR=/usr/local/tqt3 to no avail. If someone has dealt with this, a copy of your environment would be appreciated. any help before this makes me ......unrepairable. Dave

TDE on openSUSE Tumbleweed?
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hello, I guess François Andriot would best answer this question. I am experimenting with installing Linux on a Sony Vaio Tablet (Vaio Tap 11, model SVT112113CXB ). This has proven *much* more difficult than on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2: - You can disable SecureBoot in the BIOS *but* it is still there! The first consequence is that I can't install Debian! - Other Linux version more or less did install (Ubuntu 16.10, Alexandre's PCLOS, openSUSE) but I everytime has trouble. In the end, the only install that (really) runs well is openSUSE Tumbleweed: really snappy under Gnome 3, onscreen keyboard, it even tries to use the accelerometer and rotates the screen (although in a somwhat eratic way) Now, of course, there is no installation of TDE for Tumbleweed. Would the instruction for 42.3 work? Now, a Tablet is not where I need TDE most, but... Regards, Thierry

bluetooth gamepad button assignments
by Philip Ashmore 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Hi there. I recently bought two bluetooth nunchuck-like controllers. You hold it in one hand and it has a swivel X-Y axis thingy for your thumb. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-Wireless-Bluetooth-Gamepad-VR-BOX-Remot… As a test I paired them with my laptop. I discovered that buttons C and D change the volume and somehow Amarok interprets some button presses as next track, although that doesn't work consistently. I started looking for programs to do the button mapping but I couldn't find one that worked with this controller. My question is, where are these mappings stored in Trinity? Regards, Philip Ashmore
