Let's end this kind of review
by Darrell Anderson 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Article: http://www.datamation.com/open-source/the-fragmentation-of-the-linux-deskto… End of the first page: "...Because maintaining and updating the code is a huge effort, and the development team is small, TDE does suffer from more bugs than you may be used to...." Our release date goal is May 2012, but let's not release R14.0.0 unless all significant blocker, critical, and major bugs are resolved. :) I would like to ask that we consider point releases when serious bugs need to be backported to a current release. For example, when we need to release R14.0.1 then we build and release new packages. I don't think any of us have been doing that. Just thinking out loud.... Darrell

VMWARE player complains about libcanberra-gtk-module
by daniele.manghi＠libero.it 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Good morning. I've installed vmplayer on my Maverick+Trinity. Installationrun ok, but vmplayer refuses to start the guest operating system telling it is missing libcanberra-gtk-module.so. However, if try to installlibcanberra-gtk-module using apt-get, this one tells that the package is alreadyinstalled and at the most recent level. Besides, a 'locate' run finds /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.soso, what's really the problem ? Do you know if there is a way to bypass it ? ThanksDaniele Manghi

cmake build options - amarok
by Mike Howard 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi All, I have a question of a similar nature to Darrell's earlier in the list (entitled Building tdesdk with cmake) but in this case about Amarok, though the answer may well apply to other packages. When building the good old fashioned way, I would have used '--enable-postgres' (amongst other options) but there appears no cmake equivalent. I had hoped that the configure/build process would detect that the depends are available and build in support automatically but that is not the case, at least for me. So, how, using cmake, do I specify that I want postgres support? Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!

Building tdesdk with cmake
by Darrell Anderson 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

GIT 2678 tdesdk was built with automake, but now in GIT is built with cmake. In my previous automake build script I had these two build options: --with-apr-config=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apu-config=/usr/bin/apu-1-config Are these build options necessary in the cmake version or are they automatically detected? I don't see anything obvious in the cmake files. Darrell

KDE 3.5.13 up ! and Kaffeine OSD
by pierre.lag6633＠free.fr 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, Just succeeded in downloading and installing Kaffeine 3.5.13 (and some other parts) on a brand new Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) OS install. So thank you so much for the work, it's great. Only worry so far is the colours of the OSD. I saw there were some posts around here http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.devel/1975 about that issue, but no changes in xine configuration has any effect on the problem. So I made some more investigations. I have a 3.5.12 version rolling on the same machine on a Debian Squeeze third boot disk, so I simply and roughly compare and replace some pieces to see what was the origin of this presumably bug. Finally, replacing only the libxinepart.so in /opt/trinity/lib/trinity of Lisa by the 3.5.12 version I have in /opt/trinity/lib/kde3 of Squeeze (name of directory seems to have change between these two versions) changes back the OSD to its initial colours. If it can help further more : Squeeze version date : sam. 14 août 2010 09:29:58 Lisa version date : sam. 15 oct. 2011 02:35:36 So I presume this library has something related to that issue. I'm not a developer, but if I can help comparing source or finding more information, just let me know. I can easily compare versions as they are both rolling on the same machine ;). Cheers and thanks so much again for your fantastic work at TDE. Pierre

K Menu - kicker crash
by Mike Howard 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

I've just completed a TDE build from scratch on a fresh Debian Wheezy system, from the stable source. There were a number of issues to do with the source, which I'll document separately, in case it's useful to others. One problem that I have so far found with the resulting installation is 'kicker' crashing when attempting to select the 'System' sub menu option. In more detail, using the mouse to select 'K Menu' and then moving the mouse pointer to the 'System' entry in the upper, 'All Applications' portion of the menu, _always_ results in a crash, bringing up the 'KDE Panel - The KDE Crash Handler' dialog box. Any body any ideas? Is there a way to determine what, if any, options should be available on the sub menu on this system? Obviously there will be different options available on different systems. Maybe it's crashing cos it's empty. Cheers, Mike. --

Update problem ksmserver

16 Jan '12

Thanks for the working mirror. I was able to download the updates. I have problems with the package ksmserver. I watched the pre-installation, I think it are looking the file / usr/bin/plasma.kde4 I have not. Possible workaround? Here is the error: Preparativi per sostituire ksmserver-trinity v.4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~maverick (utilizzando .../ksmserver-trinity_4%3a3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~natty_i386.deb)...

error while updating repositories
by nathan schramm 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

I'm trying to install trinity on a debain box and I keep getting bandwidth limit exceeded errors when I run apt-get update. Is there anything I can do about this, or will I have to wait for full speed mirror access to come back?
