[qt3] Qt3 licenses and configure
by Laurent Dard 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

I think that in Qt, the irritating question about licenses, that appears when executing 'configure', must be removed. So I suggest to change it. I saw that other things should be modified as well: README* INSTALL FAQ... And a lot of references to trolltech should be converted into references to Trinity: qt-bugs(a)trolltech.com --> http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/ etc. I need a clarification about licenses. According to /usr/share/doc/libqt3-mt/copyright (Trinity version): "Qt 3.3 is triple licensed under the QPL, GPL 2 and GPL 3." But Trinity web site says: "any Qt3 version released by this project is licensed under the GPL only" http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13 Does it means there is a bug with 'THE Q PUBLIC LICENSE' which should be removed? And about modules, may the lines (225-227) MODULES="styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace inputmethod" [ "$PLATFORM_QWS" = "yes" ] && [ "$Products" = "qt-professional" ] && MODULES="$MODULES network" [ "$Products" != "qt-professional" ] && MODULES="$MODULES network canvas table xml opengl sql" be replaced by MODULES="styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace \ inputmethod network canvas table xml opengl sql" without breaking things? A third question: will Trinity Qt support Mac and QWS? I reported a bug: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=628 with a patch for the 'configure' file, to be reviewed: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/attachment.cgi?id=128 * Free edition GPL 2 & 3 only (no QPL) * Interactive part about licenses removed * Defined modules: "styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace inputmethod network canvas table xml opengl sql" -- Laurent Dard

KMail search default
by Mike Bird 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

With 3.5.13 the default match in "Find Messages" has changed from "Complete Message" to "Subject". This requires an annoying extra couple of clicks to search Complete Message. People used to years of "Complete Message" are annoyed when their searches don't find the messages they were looking for, and we have to explain the change and remind them to change "Subject" to "Complete Message". There's no positive side to this change as one can already search on Subject much more readily in the Search field above the message list. Please consider reverting this change for R14. Also, if there's a way to fix this via a config file change I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks, --Mike Bird

keramik windows decoration
by Philippe Bourdeu d'Aguerre 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

There is a problem with keramik windows decoration, there is almost no window border. Changing border size didn't help. Apart of this, everything seems OK and I am happy with the transition from KDE 3.5.10 to Trinity 3.5.13 on CentOS 5. Thanks for the great work ! -- Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE AIME - Campus de l'INSA http://www.aime-toulouse.fr/ 135, av. de Rangueil Tel +33 561 559 885 31077 TOULOUSE Cedex 4 - FRANCE Fax +33 561 559 870

Kmail + GPG
by Kristopher John Gamrat 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi, Kmail is giving me issues with setting up a GPG for signing. I'm hoping someone can help. I've never used a signing key for my email, but one of my friend's email keeps getting hacked, and I've been hacked a couple times, so it would help if he and I both could have a signing key. I tried generating a gpg key using both the "gpg --gen-key" command and using KGPG. KGPG recognizes both the key I used it to generate, and the key I generated with the gpg key (as in, both keys show up). KGPG shows both keys as being trusted ultimately. Kmail recognizes both keys, but the OK button is greyed out, and question marks are next to both keys. To add the keys, I went to the Kmail settings -> Identities -> Default identity -> Modify -> Cryptography -> OpenPGP Signing Key -> Change. Both keys are here but unselectable as described above. In Kmail settings -> Security -> Crypto Backends, both "OpenPGP (gpg)" and "S/MIME (gpgsm)" are selectable (not grayed out) and check marked. In ~/.gnugp/gpg.conf, I have the 'use-agent' option on it's own line (without quotes, of course). In ~/.gnugp/gpg-agent.conf, I put the following as suggested in my Google searches: --- pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-x11 no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800 --- I have tried with gpg-agent running in daemon mode, and without it running at all. I have KGPG running in my system tray. When gpg-agent is running, I have KGPG set to use it, and I unset it when gpg-agent isn't running. For those who need a visual of my Kmail not accepting my GPG keys, I uploaded a screenshot to http://linuxjutsu.com/~kris/Pictures/kmail_gpg_prob.png . Both keys there are mine, generated on my machine under the user that I am logged in as. Since both are Ultimately Trusted, they should be accepted. Reread Keys in the Kmail dialog doesn't help, nor does right clicking the keys and selecting Recheck. The certificate manager button, and the Search For External Certificates button, both open Kleopatra. I don't want to use a certificate, I want to use one of the GPG keys that it's listing. Any suggestions much appreciated. -- Kristopher Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/

The vanishing keyboard
by Thierry de Coulon 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello. Now that I have solved the "unable to start kdeinit" problem, there are good and bad news. Good news is that I am editing my videos with kdenlive from the TDE environment and that's good. Not so good news is that I set up two keyboard layouts: one Swiss French (that's what I use), the other US English (for different situation where a US Keyboard is usefull. Now, after some time, I loose the swiss keyboard - no message, just I suddenly find out I'm QWERTY. I can solve this by changing the keyboard from kicker (set US, set fr_CH), but the swiss keyboard will disappear later again. I first thought I should remove the US keyboard, but that's a bad idea, because the swiss keyboard keeps vanishing and I have no more applet to click on in kicker... Anyone see this behaviour with his keyboard? Could this be a KDE 4 conflict? Thierry

OSS support ?
by Philippe Bourdeu d'Aguerre 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello, A few words of presentation. I am new to Trinity. I manage a Centos 5 server with users connected trough Sunray devices. Centos 5 is stuck to KDE 3.5.4. There is a project (http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ ) providing KDE 3.5.10 but it seems to be dead. It's why I am very excited about Trinity project. I am trying Trinity 3.5.13. and have an issue with sound. Arts offers only Alsa backend. In KDE 3.5.10, I have more choice. Sunray devices need OSS which is available in KDE 3.5.10 but not in Trinity 3.5.13. Is there a way to get OSS backend ? Thank you. -- Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE AIME - Campus de l'INSA http://www.aime-toulouse.fr/ 135, av. de Rangueil Tel +33 561 559 885 31077 TOULOUSE Cedex 4 - FRANCE Fax +33 561 559 870

[debian] Trinity installation and Qt3 versioning bug
by Laurent Dard 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

To all Debian users who are experimenting problems to install Trinity. There was a bug with Qt3 versioning, in the Debian version of Trinity 3.5.13. (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=583) If the following command: dpkg -l|grep 3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0 is listing some packages, you'll have to force a "downgrade" from version "3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze" to version "3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze". Here is a script to do the job: OLDVERSION=3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze NEWVERSION=3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze for f in `dpkg -l | grep $OLDVERSION | awk '{print $2}'` ; do apt-get install $f=$NEWVERSION done -- Laurent Dard
