All, On Monday the equipment that cools the TDE build farm and servers was destroyed due to a combination of age and utility line problems. As a result, the build farm is offline and will remain offline until the cooling equipment can be funded and replaced. If we cannot replace this equipment, we will unfortunately need to drop support for all Debian and Ubuntu versions except Wheezy and Trusty to keep build times in a reasonable range. If you can, please consider donating towards replacing this equipment: http://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Every little bit helps! We have already received 23% of the funds required. Thank you for your support; without it, TDE would not be possible! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

Key problems

by Lisi Reisz

I have for some time had TDE key problems on my husband's desktop. I keep thinking that it must have been solved by now and trying again. He has Wheezy with TDE 3.5.13.2, just as I have. I have no problems with my own key. Here is my latest attempt: root@Nyx:/home/peter# apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.pZxq195osY --trustdb-name /etc/apt//trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring.gpg --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 gpg: requesting key 2B8638D0 from hkp server keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net gpg: key 2B8638D0: "QuickBuild Trinity Desktop Environment" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 I copied and pasted the apt-key line from the wiki. And here is why I think that I have a problem: root@Nyx:/home/peter# aptitude update > key.txt W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 099723A280479E11 root@Nyx:/home/peter# And key.txt is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7068342/ I must solve this. He never banks on line, but even so ..... Any ideas? Lisi

KBabel PO compendium broken links

by Michele Calgaro

Dear all, bug 1833 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1833) reports discontinued links to KBabel po compendium files. I googled a lot and seems the problem goes back to the KDE days. I am looking at removing those links and perhaps the whole TMX and PO compendium module pages, but before doing that I would like to know if any of you has been able to use them and in case which link you have used. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks Michele

New KPersonalizer wizard picture set proposal

by Alexandre

Hi, Here is some new pictures to replace the KDE 3.5 stock images found in the KPersonalizer wizard. It would make a great first impression to new users for the upcoming R14 and it would make TDE look like it has progressed since the last 10 years. You will see that while they are new, they do have some inspiration from the old ones. It is based on CrystalSVG, KFaenza and MoodinKDE. If you want, I can provide my GIMP files. Any __constructive__ ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! -Alexandre

either easy or impossible -- reverse mouse theme

by dep

greetings, good people . . . back on the glory days of OS/2 -- yes, i'm *that* old -- i had a wonderful utility that allowed the user to create his own mouse pointers. after fiddling with it for awhile, i came up with a scheme that was the reverse of whatever it was over. you have no idea how useful and precise this proved to be. by "reverse" i mean over black it would be white, and so on. it was transparent, so over text the text, reversed, would show through. i looked for but never found anything that worked similarly in linux. alas, i'm reaching that point where a mouse pointer, i-beam, etc., big enough to see is too big to use with anything like precision. (i told you i'm old!) so i am wondering if among the genuinely sharp minds here anyone can imagine a recipe for turning an existing mouse pointer theme into something like the setup i had in OS/2. this would involve finding the actual theme images -- i'm not sure either as to the format or where they live -- and editing them by replacing the colors with . . . what? if anybody has and sense of this and passes it along, if i can make it happen i'd happily offer the result for inclusion in future releases (or as an add-on now, if anyone wants it). ideas? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

SS_lib_type question

by mali salmon

Hello trinity users I used Trinity to assemble ~700M paired-end reads using the following command "Trinity.pl --seqType fq --left left.fq --right right.fq --SS_lib_type FR --output ./ --JM 300G --CPU 15" The run was successful, and I got a list of contigs. Now I realize that the data was not strand specific, and I am wondering how does the adding of "--SS_lib_type FR" parameter affect the assembly. Shall I redo the assembly? Thanks Mali

Problem with tdebase-trinity on amd64 system

by Marc Chénier

I lost my graphical desktop and now have only console access. This happened because I could not update the tdebase package with adept updater; there was always that one package left that could not be updated (something broken). So I thought I could fix this by removing the tdebase-trinity package from my system and then reinstalling the package fresh. So I rebooted and went into recovery mode to a root console and did that with apt-get remove, which also removed 2 other packages: ksmserver-trinity and tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity Then I tried to apt-get install tdebase-trinity (and the 2 other packages) but could not do it because of an unmet dependencies problem for tdebase. About 20 packages are listed that need version pr82 and not version pr80 of tdebase. So I spent many long hours on various forums looking up info and did everything in the book: checked sources.list; did apt-get clean, autoclean, update, upgrade, dist-upgrade; tried apt-get install -f and dpkg --configure -a ; I also tried aptitude install which indicated it was going to install 3 packages but then did not because of unmet dependencies and gave me only one solution: keep the 3 packages at their current version [not installed]. I then thought of looking up the package on the TDE nightly builds website and noticed that superseded version 81 and published version 82 were marked with a red X (build failures) for amd64 systems. Is this relevant to my problem? Does that mean it will be fixed and I just have to wait a while? If not, is there a solution or a workaround so that I can get my faithful TDE desktop back? Thanks ahead for any help Marc TDE 14 (nightly builds) on Ubuntu Precise installed from live TDE-CD on an amd64 board

If systemd, then do you have consolekit installed? If no, then TDE must be patched to work in a systemd environment without console kit. The problem is user session/process tracking in TDE has not been updated to work with systemd. If you have systemd+consolekit and launch tdm through the old sysV init script, then everything will work through systemd compatibility mode. Without consolekit you have hit bug 1902. In that case, user mount of drives and access to sound may not work. Further, any tdeio processes opened (e.g. http/file/sftp) will not exit when the connection is closed and you will end up with LOTs of tdeio_file, tdeio_http, tdeio_sftp processes running on your box. However, there is a limit to the number of simultaneous processes that can be opened, so you will not run into a memory exhaustion situation. See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1902 This is a known issue and should be fixed shortly. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
