Short bug report (ark)
by Rolf Schmidt 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi, I installed ark, the archiv gui, but it didn't start. Start it from a terminal the error message "libkdeinit_ark could not found" was given. The library is installed in /opt/trinity/lib. After I set a symlink in /usr/lib (/lib or /lib46 did not help) the program starts. Perhaps this information help to fix the problem. Fine regards Rolf PS: Debian Lenny and Trinity with Slaveks axis repository

PPA installation - Afrikaans
by jc 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Have installed Wheezy RC1 in english and gnome comes up in english. Installing Trinity Desktop Environment v3.5.13 - updates (Slavek's PPA) completly and rebooting the TDE logon comes up in english but Trinity comes up in Afrikaans. Not difficult to switch to US english; the two choices on Settings > Regional & Accessability > Country/Region & Language are Afrikaans and US English but could confuse people This on both a VMWare workstation 7 and a laptop. The original language for installation (RC1) was english - australia with en -au as default and the various zh - * as secondary. the sources are: deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux wheezy-DI-rc1 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64 DVD Binary-1 20130214-12:23]/ wheezy contrib main deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main

Difficult new install
by Greg Madden 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

New install of Wheezy TDE 3.45.14 (nightlies). I have the missing *.la issue, noted previous post, for Konq. Initially I did not have 'tdm-trinity' in '/etc/init.d/' consequently not in any run levels either. I copied 'tdm-trinity' from my laptop install, updated the run levels. TDE desktop failed to start, it seems ksmserver-trinity did not get installed with the 'tdebase-trinity' meta-package I used. I was havng a hardware issue with my workstation, and replaced the root hard drive, went with the new install. It seems, esp. last month, the nightlies are not even ready for testing. There was a warning from Tim a while back about some changes. Hard for me to tell when it is safe to do an update and when and for how long to wait. I have been using the nightlies in a test environment since last summer. TDE has been usable most of that time...untill recently. -- Peace, Greg

Konqueror/Gwenview weirdness
by Leslie Turriff 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

I browse to a website that contains GIF images. When I click on any of these images I get this error message: There was an error loading the module Gwenview Image Viewer. The diagnostics is: Library files for "libgvimagepart.la" not found in paths. I click OK and the image is displayed. I checked the Konqueror file association settings for GIF and found KView Gwenview Gwenview V4 GIMP Kolourpaint Wine Internet Explorer Pinta This looks like KView should be being used not Gwenview; but I removed Gwenview V4 just in case it was causing some conflict. But I got the same result. I also tried upgrading to the most recent available Konqueror and Gwenview components from the repository, but again got the same result. Any suggestions? Leslie

Difficult upgrade
by John A. Sullivan III 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hello, all. I wish I had more specific data to report but I've just had a very problematic upgrade on Debian Squeeze although it also has a number of packages installed from Wheezy. I'm not even sure which Trinity I was running beforehand - 12 or 13. I do know that, after the upgrade, I could not boot into a GUI - automatically or manually. For some reason, important packages were missing, viz., kdm-trinity, ksmserver-trinity, network-manager-kde-trinity, and a pile of their dependencies. The base Trinity packages were installed. Very strange but very painful. Again, I wish I had more specific details to report. Sorry - John

I've not been following the list closely for some time because of other responsibilities but the above caught my eye especially as I continually see references to TQT when working in KDevelop on Trinity. Is TQT a fork of Qt3 as Trinity is a fork of KDE3? If so, is there a licensing issue for Windows TQT applications? Thanks - John

Poor Qt4 performance on Linux
by Alexandre Couture 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hi everyone! This week I've been playing with DraftSight both on Linux and on Windows. DraftSight is a Qt4 CAD drawing program that is very similar to AutoCad and it is available for free both for Windows and for Linux. I used DraftSight for many months on Linux on my Core 2 Duo with 2gb of RAM computer and it is sluggish. Each time that I select a part of the drawing to modify an attribute there is a 5-10 second delay before the program unfreeze. On my Windows-only laptop that I use mainly for running industrial automation software, I have installed DraftSight this week. This laptop is an old IBM ThinkPad A31p with a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 cpu and 512mb of RAM. It runs Windows XP. On this laptop, DraftSight runs perfectly well and there is no delay when I click on a part of a drawing, even if it is a much slower computer and the general performance of DraftSight is much better on Windows. Is there a reason why I see such a big difference between this Qt4 program on Linux and on Windows? Does the difference is because of Qt4 or it could be because DraftSight has not been ported as well as it could be? Qt3 has a very high performance and on a slow computer, it is even faster than GTK2. The UI element are drawn faster than almost every other GUI toolkits. Why does QT4 still suffer from these performance issues? Have an happy spring break! -Alexandre

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When I try to open khelpcenter a terminal emulator the following appears: QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qtrc' QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc' The upshot is that I cannot create an khelpcenter index. Is there a fix?

What package provides qmake?
by Leslie Turriff 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

I'm trying to build a tool called glogg, which requires qmake, but I can't figure out which package provides it. I tried YaST, searching in Names, Keywords, Summary, Description, RPM Requires, RPM Provides and File List, and installed qconf and qt3-devel, but so far haven't found it. Help?? Leslie
