K3b Writing DVD copy stopped @00:05:36h/Remaining 00:00:03, 4119 of 4144 MB

Is $SUBJECT what making a coaster looks like? CPU is Core2duo E7600 3.06GHz. Source: DVD made from standalone DVDR with TV tuner on DVD-R finalized on PATA /dev/sr0 Destination: blank Verbatim DVD-R (CMC MAG, AM3) on SATA /dev/sr1 Other than selecing source and destination, and deselecting create/delete image (aka on-the-fly), I used only defaults, resulting in (auto) writing speed 22713KB/s (16.49x) in the upper pane. Target media is one of last dozen or so from spool of 100 several years old that I remember no previous trouble writing to. After more than 10 minutes since last screen paint I moved the focused copy window off its parent window, and only the focused window painted. After more waiting, I switched to a tty and found the following: $ df / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda17 4843161 4429321 163952 97% / $ ls -lGg /var/tmp/kdecache-loggedusername/ total 128420 drwx------ 2 1024 Oct 21 21:51 background drwx------ 2 1024 Aug 8 2013 favicons -rw-rw-r-- 1 10547304 Oct 21 21:50 icon-cache.kcache -rw-rw-r-- 1 751197 Oct 21 21:51 ksycoca -rw-rw-r-- 1 1359129 Oct 21 21:47 ksycoca4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 656 Oct 21 21:47 ksycoca4stamp -rw-rw-r-- 1 752 Oct 21 21:51 ksycocastamp drwx------ 2 1024 Oct 21 21:50 libphonon -rw------- 1 14264 Oct 21 21:48 plasma-svgelements-default -rw------- 1 16189 Sep 13 2013 plasma-svgelements-openSUSE drwx------ 3 1024 Aug 8 2013 plasma-wallpapers -rw-rw-r-- 1 84377704 Oct 21 21:50 plasma_theme_default.kcache -rw-rw-r-- 1 84377704 Sep 13 2013 plasma_theme_openSUSE.kcache $ ls -lGg (/home/loggedusername/.trinity/cache-hostname/) total 128420 drwx------ 2 1024 Oct 21 21:51 background drwx------ 2 1024 Aug 8 2013 favicons -rw-rw-r-- 1 10547304 Oct 21 21:50 icon-cache.kcache -rw-rw-r-- 1 751197 Oct 21 21:51 ksycoca -rw-rw-r-- 1 1359129 Oct 21 21:47 ksycoca4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 656 Oct 21 21:47 ksycoca4stamp -rw-rw-r-- 1 752 Oct 21 21:51 ksycocastamp drwx------ 2 1024 Oct 21 21:50 libphonon -rw------- 1 14264 Oct 21 21:48 plasma-svgelements-default -rw------- 1 16189 Sep 13 2013 plasma-svgelements-openSUSE drwx------ 3 1024 Aug 8 2013 plasma-wallpapers -rw-rw-r-- 1 84377704 Oct 21 21:50 plasma_theme_default.kcache -rw-rw-r-- 1 84377704 Sep 13 2013 plasma_theme_openSUSE.kcache Whether any of those actually belong to the TDE session I dont' know, but I don't seem to be able to locate any other tmpfiles for it. Because/ and /home are different partitions, the identical sizes and timestamps between the two directories looked fishy to me until I noticed that /home/loggedusername/.trinity/cache-hostname/ is a symlink. So, one question I have is how to make the desktop user tmpfiles live in /homeloggedusername/ someplace instead of on /. On return to desktop, none of the K3b windows would repaint, so I force closed K3b from Kicker. Then I cleared /var/tmp/, which brought space used on / from 97% to 88%, available 1K blocks up to 588973, and got rid of all the big files in /home/loggedusername/.trinity/cache-hostname/. Comments?

lingering problem with kpowersave
by Felmon Davis 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

greets! Slavek's updates got my kpowersave utility running again (I include the relevant post below) but I've a new issue. if I boot into the desktop, the kpowersave utility (on the kicker bar) offers little more than 'help' and 'quit'. to get the full configuration options I have to close and re-open the kde session. so how to get the full kpowersave without having to close and re-open the session?

Window sizes when changing resolution
by iadest＠o2.pl 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello I don't know, maybe it's a bug, maybe some misconfiguration but I have a question is it possible to fix this problem: I am using TDE 3.5.13.2, Debian Wheezy, running on Dell D430 subnotebook. This small computer has 1280x800 LCD, Intel GMA chipset. At home I'm docking my Dell and redirecting video using xrandr to external monitors: two 1600x1200 displays connected to dock's ports. The desktop is split on 2 monitors, the system menu/task bar is shown only in the left one, exactly as I want. The problem begins when I hibernate computer undocked and unhibernate it in a dock. It of course still shows picture on internal LCD, so I have a script with xrandr to set proper resolutions and settings. After changing resolutions and displays, Most of resizeable windows on screen become one screen (1600 pixels) wide. In this situation, the next one happens relatively rare: Konqueror's window sometimes have decoration placed higher than screen, so it can be moved or closed only from task bar menu. Is there any option in configuration to prevent this window expanding when resolution is changed? Shrinking works and is OK (it must be for reverse situation - undocking). MCbx

TDE website update and R14 status
by Timothy Pearson 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, The new TDE website has been updated to incorporate feedback received from both users and developers; it is hoped that this design strikes a proper balance between aesthetics and functionality. Many thanks to the TDE Web team, especially E. Liddell, for their work on the new site! R14 Release Candidate 1 is currently being built. This process should be complete somewhere around Nov. 10 2014 barring unforeseen difficulties. RC1 will take the form of a package set for Debian/Ubuntu along with an Ubuntu LiveCD that can be used for testing. The TDE project needs your financial support! If you can, please donate towards our operating costs at https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php . In particular, due to the large size of the R14 binary package set we needed to increase the available Internet bandwidth temporarily until R14 is released; this change increased TDE's operating costs substantially and has put severe strain on the project's finances. Thank you for your support!

Creating side or top panels without mouse
by Joseph Thames 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi, Is there a way to create a panel via the command line? Once I have a panel, I can create a pager. But I am logged in via NX to a desktop with no panels, and I can't seem to create one. Thanks in advance. -- Joseph 'Bear' Thames MetaCalculus, LLC and Meta Science Foundation (505) 977-9024 - Cell Phone beartham(a)gmail.com

Small Bug in kdm configuration
by rolf 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hi, I found, that the management tool (login configuration from within control center) for config kdm, creates the wrong user "Root" (with upper case "R") in kdmrc, if one selects, that only root can shut down the computer. Than the computer just stops with a console I have to login as root and powerdown the machine. So it is at least only a typo. System: Debian wheezy with trinity 3.5.13 Rolf

kbuildsycoca hangs --- no login
by Jagged O'Neill 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

High all, now again an active post from me, obviously with a problem report. Basic info: I'm running OpenSuse 13.1 with TDE 3.5.13.2-3.oss131.opt.x86-64 Because somehow I couldn't get TDE's display manager to run, the one in use is KDE4's, kdm-4.11.9-111.1.x86_64. Today I was hinted to quassel for an IRC client, checked the Suse repos, found and installed it. The installer reported as the only unresolved dependency for quassel-mono (monolithic/stand-alone package, nothing to do with the Mono runtime) the evenly provided quassel-base package, which I confirmed to also install. During the installation process, kicker crashed and when it was attempted to be respawned, the CPU load increased to 50% overall (2core HT current i5-M). The load was partially from kicker, partially from kbuildsycoca. After killing both, I tried to manually run kicker again, but the same happened, just with only one thread worth of CPU load occupied. "init 3" (I know it's not the same with systemd, but...) didn't even kill kbuildsycoca. After manually killing it, I switched back to RL 5, and I got the greeter screen (background), but no entry fields or menus or whatever --- the CPU load was again at 25%. After uninstalling the two quassel packages, I switched to RL 3 and back to 5 again, but there was no difference. I rebooted the box, and was prompted with the usual greeter, including the user/passwd fields etc., entered the password and the same happened again: 25% CPU load, in kbuildsycoca. I attached gdb to it, without really knowing what I should look for, but maybe one of you can read some valuable information from the backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f462f734980 in __read_nocancel () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f462f6d0338 in __GI__IO_file_underflow () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x00007f462f6cf678 in __GI__IO_file_xsgetn () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #3 0x00007f462f6c5418 in fread () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #4 0x00007f46319525f7 in QFile::readBlock(char*, unsigned long) () from /usr/lib64/libqt-mt.so.3 #5 0x00007f463195c6df in QDataStream::operator>>(int&) () from /usr/lib64/libqt-mt.so.3 #6 0x00007f463265e1c8 in KSycoca::kfsstnd_prefixes() () from /opt/trinity/lib64/libkdecore.so.4 #7 0x00007f463265e3c8 in KSycoca::language() () from /opt/trinity/lib64/libkdecore.so.4 #8 0x00007f462d0aa20a in kdemain () from /opt/trinity/lib64/libkdeinit_kbuildsycoca.so #9 0x00000000004090ff in ??

If you want me to install it to exactly see which functions these are, just let me know. (Just btw: /opt is a symbolic link to /usr/local/opt.) Thanks in advance, Jagged -- valgrind python -c 'for i in range(1,1): print(i)' 2>&1 | grep error
