I installed squeeze on my Dell laptop recently. Then I went through the
trinity instructions for installing trinity KDE. Once I finished I had
no wireless and could find no way to configure it, nothing worked. It is
an Intel wireless card, 2915ABG I think. What I did was install LXDE &
ceni. logged out, logged into LXDE session, ran ceni, and configured
wireless for a static IP on my subnet. logged out & back into trinity &
wireless worked.
in trinity, when I started, all the networking tools I could find would
not configure my wireless. one did show my wireless router, but would
not let me add it or connect to it.

All,
Just a note on the current svn kdewebdev build. There are a few *optional*
dependencies for quanta+ that are currently not built. They are probably
somewhere in the tree waiting for a cmake port. If not, then we might want to
add them to the 'todo' list for the 3.5.13 release. (low priority)
Reason - when you first launch quant+ you are greeted with the following list
of missing packages:
Some applications required for full functionality are missing:
- Kommander [http://kommander.kdewebdev.org] - various script based dialogs
including the Quick Start dialog will not be available;
- Tidy [http://tidy.sourceforge.net] - HTML syntax checking will not be available;
- Kompare [http://bruggie.dnsalias.org/kompare] - comparing of files by content
will not be available;
- GPG (OpenPGP) [http://www.gnupg.de] - preview browser configuration will not
be available;
- KXSLDbg [http://xsldbg.sourceforge.net/] - XSLT debugging will not be available;
- KImageMapEditor [http://www.nongnu.org/kimagemap/] - editing HTML image maps
will not be available;
- KLinkStatus [http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12318] - link
validity checking will not be available;
- Cervisia [http://www.kde.org/apps/cervisia] - CVS management plugin will not
be available.
For Arch Linux (as with most other distributions) tidy and gnupg are already
available and can simply be added as dependencies of the kdewebdev package by
the person packaging it. (note: the gpg dependency is for gnupg NOT gnupg2)
However, the following are only available as kde4 packages (at least on Arch)
- Kommander
- Kompare
- KXSLDbg
- KImageMapEditor
- KLinkStatus
- Cervisia (usually packaged as part of the kde-sdk)
Also, since cvs is somewhat outmoded by svn,git,etc.. the quanta dependency
for cervisia could just be dropped if it presents too much of a problem to
include. (at least in my opinion - others may want it)
As noted in the subject, these are OPTIONAL dependencies for quanta so they
are low on the manpower priority list, but they are certainly 'nice to have' and
convey a bit of 'polish' when they are present.

All,
In going back and forth over "this build issue/that build issue/etc...", after
running Trinity on Arch for the past day and kicking the tires, I wanted to make
sure I dropped a note letting everyone that has worked so hard on this project
know how good it works -> IT WORKS GREAT!
Great job to all, this is going to be one fantastic desktop.

Tim, Robert, Serghei, all
Is there a way to tell Trinity to ignore all the kde4 junk in
/usr/share/autostart? (other than uninstalling kde4) I say this because I just
took all my binary packages and installed them on a box with both a prior kde3
install (in /opt/kde) and a kde4 install (/usr/bin) and things were wild to say
the least.
I moved both existing ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 directories to ~/.kde-sav and
~/.kde4-sav before launching Trinity. (I forgot to delete the ksycoca from
/var/tmp though and I suspect that caused 90% of the problem)
Trinity started just fine and did the initial configuration. Then ksplash from
the old kde3 install appeared. Then akonadi/nepomuk started trying to index
everything, then the kde4 plasma-panel loaded over the Trinity kicker and all
the window decorations were gone.
I suspect Trinity was trying to pull the decorations from the old kde3 install
due to the sysconfigcache in /var/tmp (I'll try deleting that next time), but
the real issue is the kde4 autostart mess:

In order to make Trinity play nicely with an existing kde4 install, can
something be changed in the Trinity code to tell it to ignore all the kde4
autostart files?

Serghei,
Tomorrow when looking at gcc cmake issues, add amarok osd.h line 40 to the list:
/home/david/tbld/applications/amarok/amarok/src/osd.h:40:78: error: cannot call
constructor ‘QImage::QImage’ directly
/home/david/tbld/applications/amarok/amarok/src/osd.h:40:78: error: for a
function-style cast, remove the redundant ‘::QImage’
Just needs ‘::QImage’ deleted :)
Then after fixing the constructor, you will run into the following error at 82%

Dunno how to fix this one :(

Last one for the night.
applications/knemo seems to still have the cmake files from kde4. Here is the
error I received building it:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:58 (MESSAGE):
ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

You guys have a great evening :)
