aptitude update/upgrade deleted kpilot
by Frank Lienhard 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I just updated my notebook with a local repo, using aptitude update/upgrade and that removed kpilot from my system. I thought this procedure shouldn't remove packages. Or is kpilot not part of Trinity anymore? And yes I still use a pilot.

Mirrors
by Dan Youngquist 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I really don't want to sound impatient or ungrateful -- I realize Trinity is an all-volunteer project to which I don't contribute (although I would if I had the skills). I really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into Trinity. But I have situations that are becoming critical, and I need to know how to plan. I have users I've been putting off for almost 3 weeks now, as well as a couple machines of my own with problems I can't fix, because the mirrors are down. Every day I tell them it's still not working, but it should be "any time now." Surely someone (Tim?) has some idea how much longer it's likely to be? All it takes is the upload bandwidth, the amount of data still to transfer, and some basic math to get a good estimate. Is it going to be another hour, a day, a week, 3 more weeks? If I can't at least find out very soon, I'm going to have to give up on Trinity and commit to another direction. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Centered or "Smart" Default Window Placement
by Darrell Anderson 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I'm posting this question to both the developer's and user's list. Everybody's thoughts and comments are welcomed. Bug report 676 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=676) was submitted requesting that the default window placement be changed from "Smart" to Centered. A patch was provided to make that change. What do you think? The configuration option for window placement is found in Control Center, Desktop, Window Behavior, Moving tab. Please keep the conversation focused to the DEFAULT setting and not what you prefer. The default setting is used when a person uses Trinity for the first time and is still learning to use the desktop. For a default setting, keep in mind new users, users migrating from Windows, traditional window placement, user expectations, newbies, etc. This discussion is not about the merits of either option but which is best as a default for new users. Please --- if you don't know what the "Smart" option does, then don't speculate. :) Thanks much for your time! Darrell

bandwidth solution, aka mirrors are down
by Greg Madden 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I am a member of a local LUG (Linux User Group) here in Anchorage. We meet on Friday niights for a hands on lab session self support etc. One comment about bandwidth around the LUG: 'never under stimater the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes' This is a paraphrase of an old saying , hence the tape refernce? The poin being, transfering large data sets can be accomplished by loading up the old auto and driving them, locally, seems like you could also mail a hard drive, USB stick somwhere in a timely fashion. -- Peace, Greg

Authentication/Configuration
by Mike Howard 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Ok Guys, go easy, silly question time. When building and installing TDE from scratch on a clean, 'X'-less system, how do I get authentication working? I assume that TDE just passes on the task to the underlying OS. However, having done a clean build I don't know how to get the necessary configuration and auth bits in place, like Pam modules, init scripts etc. When you install from packages it's all taken care of. I can (and will) hack about to create the above but just wondered if there was something ready rolled. Cheers, Mike. -- Every question is easy if you know the answer!

All Down?
by Mike Howard 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Has the complete Trinity internet environment gone down now or is it just me? Can't seem to access anything Trinity. I was looking for the patch sets for libcaldav & libcarddav. Cheers, Mike. --

Still can't get it from the mirror. Is there somewhere I can download it, or can anyone email it to me? Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

tdelibs fails to build - Git source
by Mike Howard 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi All, Having started from scratch again in my quest to build TDE on wheezy, tdelibs is now failing to compile. I've built and installed, from Git, as per the wiki (except that avahi-tqt will not build) and tdelibs fails with; ..........

I've then mirrored exactly what I've done on wheezy in a squeeze chroot and the results are the same, including the failure of avahi-tqt to build. As a matter of interest, apart from the 'util' linking issue on wheezy, tdelibs built ok last week. Any ideas? Regards, Mike. --

Wiki Updates
by Darrell Anderson 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

I made extensive changes to the developer's page at the wiki. I ask that everybody review. I won't pretend I got everything perfectly correct. Others with more experience need to perform a subject matter expert technical review. I have a one sentence spot where eventually a link will be added as a gateway to package specific information about building. My hope for those pages will include unique build requirements, using extra include directories, what external packages are required to provide additional functionality, etc. For that last point, this is not a detailed dependency list. Package managers and upstream maintainers handle those details. I am addressing additional functionality. For example, ocaml is not required to build kalzium in kdeedu, but adds additional functionality when present during building. Please review the wiki. If uncomfortable directly editing the wiki, please forward corrections to me. Thanks! Darrell
