upgrade on my notebook machine went relatively uneventfully, so i thought it safe to upgrade desktop machine. and boke everything to the extent that i do not have x on the desktop machine at all. am running ubuntu-12.04LTS from a terminal, having added the specified lines to my sources.list and commented out the old tde lines, i did: sudo apt-get update sudo aptutide upgrade due to server congestion i had to run the latter several times. it then specified a problem, to be solved by removal of libcal2b-trinity and libqt-perl. the installation blows up in a fashion too long to list here -- i'd have to type it in character by characer, and it includes "25 not fully installed or removed" when i went back at it with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. that command blows up with: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tdelibs-data-trinity_4%3a14.0.0-r1231-0ubuntu12.04.0+pr138_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/devices/cdrom_unmount_encrypt.png', which is also in package kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity 4:3.5.13.2-0ubuntu12.04.0+0 dpkg-deb (subprocess): data was killed by signal (Broken pipe) dpkg-deb (subprocess): error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/tdelibs-data-trinity_4%3a14.0.0-r1231-0ubuntu12.04.0+pr138_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) not real sure how to proceed. ideas? thanks. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Problems with qxl-x-11-server
by rolf 20 Dec '14

20 Dec '14

Hi, I found, that trinity has problems with the qxl-X11-server, which is for working with the spice protocol and qemu/kvm. It seems, that the refresh did not work properly. I don't know, if it is a problem of trinity or the xserver-xorg? Attached a screenshot showing the problems Fine regards Rolf

little upgrade bump
by dep 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

lord how i hate upgrades anymore. not so much talking tde here but ubuntu. anyway, installed ubuntu 14.04LTS, i think -- i wonder if it blew up someplace, because it didn't, for instance, install grub so i had to do some commandline stuff to get it to boot from the new kernel. oh, for a return to lilo! but i think i have it all installed and somewhat working. more or less. so, then, installed tde. except that kmail doesn't work. so i started it from konsole. it says "kmail: error while loading shared libraries:libmailprivate.so:cannot open shared object file:no such file or directory" i'm really hoping that ubuntu is not trying to stick me with a kde4.x thing. so to begin with, i should ask: is "kmail" the command to start the tde version of kmail? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

upgrade path question
by dep 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

hey there, good people . . . this is a pretty lame question; fortunately, i'm old enough that lame doesn't bother me all that much anymore. it's been awhile since i burned a kernel, built open office from source, or built kde -- the way we used to, say, 15 years ago (i even once wrote a piece about whether it took longer to compile all of kde than it did to drive from connecticut to key west -- http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3420/1 ). so now there's a new version of the real, useful kde, now known as tde. i'm on ubuntu 12.04LTS. time to do a general upgrade. what i'm seeking is advice as to the easiest, least-annoying way to upgrade both operating system and tde -- i'm using 3.5.13.2 -- without breaking, well, anything. i've kept the same configurations for ages. i like them. many took days to sort out and i forgot how i did them. so. anyone here have a decent recipe for upgrading the whole thing all at once, rebooting, and having what i have, only better? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Then I try to make a dist-upgrade but there is an error message which says: libkdepim1a-trinity could not be installed, because it depends on libtdepim1a-trinity. even if I worte "aptitude install libkdepim1a-trinity libtdepim1a-trinity" The system is an absolute minimal wheezy where suggests and requierements are forbitten by default. Attached you find the two skripts I use. Perhaps it might help you and you can help me. Many thanks Rolf

restoring keyboard settings after kvm switch use
by David Emerson 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Hi all, I have made changes in kcontrol > peripherals > keyboard (repeat delay/rate). This works great when I boot up the computer. However, if I use a KVM switch to go to another computer and come back, the keyboard repeat delay and rate are messed up (probably default settings, not my settings.) What can I do about this, so that my keyboard repeat settings will be automatically applied when a (new) keyboard is plugged in / replugged? I can see that it is possible to set something up through udev, but I don't know how to script TDE changes that appear to require the GUI. How to script this? Or perhaps udev is not the right approach? Thanks! ~David. Just upgraded to R14, looking good so far! Great work guys

bug 236: user feedback needed
by Michele Calgaro 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bug 236 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=236) is about KOrganizer and the length of a new ToDo event when selecting a single slot in the day agenda. The behavior is awkward because different from when longer intervals are selected. I would like some feedback from users/developers about the best way to fix it. Proposed options: 1) leave everything as it is. The user can change the above option to get a 15 minutes interval. IMO, a little awkward. 2) leave everything as it is but change the default value of the "Default duration of new appointment" to 15 minutes, so that by default double-clicking on a 15 minutes interval gives a 15 minutes interval. Users can still change the default interval if they want. 3) ignore the "Default duration" option and just use the length of the actual interval selected in the agenda. 4) others... IMO, option 3 or 2 will do. Please put forward your suggestions. The bug will be fixed as part of R14.0.1.

R14.0.x and alternative 'preliminary-stable-builds' apt source
by Slávek Banko 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hi all, who you are accustomed to using my alternative apt source known as 'preliminary-stable-builds'. I would like to say a few informations about the current state and further perspectives. At the time of announcement final R14.0.0 all packages accurately matches state source code R14.0.0. Currently are underway final build, which only removes the "preliminary" number out from the version number. For example, for tdebase 4:14.0.0-s~1492-0debian6.0.0+169 => 4:14.0.0-s-0debian6.0.0+0. Therefore in the upcoming days we can expect update of many packages. In the future you can expect that into apt source will be included preliminary packages for the upcoming release R14.0.1. If you were previously accustomed to using my PPA v3.5.13-sru, know that it will work in the same way. Indeed, the same source packages I'll upload to this alternative apt source, as well as to new PPA on build-farm. From this PPA will be subsequently released the final maintenance versions. Thank you for your support in work on TDE! -- Slávek
