Nightly Builds is killin' me! Help?
by Laws, Peter C. 23 Nov '11

But it's the only way to run Natty. Sigh. Looks like a bunch of packages are now tde* instead of kde3* ... The apt-get update/dist-upgrade fails with lots of stuff like this: tdebase-trinity : Depends: tdebase-trinity-bin (>= 4:3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty) but it is not installed Depends: tdebase-data-trinity (>= 4:3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty) but it is not installed Depends: tdebase-kio-plugins-trinity (>= 4:3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty) but it is not installed Depends: tdeprint-trinity (>= 4:3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty) but it is not installed Depends: twin-trinity (>= 4:3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty) but it is not installed Recommends: tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity but it is not installed I tried to install all that I could see that was missing: sudo apt-get install tdelibs4c2a-trinity tdelibs-data-trinity libtdepim1a-trinity tdebase-data-trinity tdebase-trinity-bin tdeprint-trinity tdebase-kio-plugins-trinity twin-trinity tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity but get this: <<many similar messages deleted>> Unpacking tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity (from .../tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_all.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/opt/trinity/share/sounds/pop.wav', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity 4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~natty No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/tdelibs-data-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r285+pr8~natty_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdelibs4c2a-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r285+pr8~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libtdepim1a-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r138+pr3~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdebase-data-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_all.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdebase-trinity-bin_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdebase-kio-plugins-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdeprint-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/twin-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity_4%3a3.5.14-0ubuntu0+r407+pr8~natty_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Naturally, TDE won't load after a reboot so I'm stuck in Gnome hell ...

Bug in konqueror as file manager
by Philippe Bourdeu d'Aguerre 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hi, I use Trinity under Centos 5.7 at work and Ubuntu 11.10 at home. I noticed some problems with konqueror in file management profile: 1) Both on Ubuntu and Centos, when I click on System icon sidebar I get this message: Cannot find parent item $( kxdglauncher --getpath --xdgname DOCUMENTS ) in the tree. Internal error. 2) On Ubuntu only some menu items are missing: - menu "Go" is missing - menu "Window" is missing - "Open terminal" is missing in menu "Tools" I wonder if these are bugs or trouble in my configurations. By the way, is it possible to submit bugs in bugs tracker system ? -- 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

[trinity-users] trinity-keyring overwrites sources.list.d -why?
by David Hare 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

Web page instructions for Squeeze say to use: deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main I put that (and the other 3 TDE lines) in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list manually. When "trinity-keyring" gets installed it actually writes to (and overwrites if already exists) that file with this entry: # Trinity repositories deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu squeeze main 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 It will work like that but not till after another apt-get update (that played havoc with my custom install scripts) I had to strip the deb package down to find out what had altered my list. ?

Customization of the Crystal SVG icons theme
by Laurent Dard 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

I see trinity developers are talking about how to ease users contributions. It inspired me to submit the following tip. It changes the settings for the whole system. Is there a way to add a custom icons folder in $HOME ? Comments are welcomed. (And feel free to correct my english.) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chega De Saudade (No More Blues) how to change the default color of the folder icon in Crystal SVG icons theme ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like the Crystal SVG icons shapes but I've been tired to see so much blue folders in konqueror. I needed colors! So I wrote down this tip for my personal use, and to share with others. (Following commands must be run as root.) 1/ The first time: # possible values for COLOR: blue green grey orange red violet yellow COLOR=orange ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do echo $d [ ! -e $d/folder_blue.png ] && [ ! -e $d/folder.orig.png ] && mv -v $d/folder.png $d/folder.orig.png && ln -v folder.orig.png $d/folder_blue.png ln -v $d/folder_$COLOR.png $d/folder.png done 2/ To change color later: # possible values for COLOR: blue green grey orange red violet yellow COLOR=violet ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do rm -v $d/folder.png ln -v $d/folder_$COLOR.png $d/folder.png done 3/ To undo all changes and revert to the default ICONSFOLDER=/opt/trinity/share/icons for d in $ICONSFOLDER/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do echo $d [ ! -e $d/folder_blue.png ] && [ ! -e $d/folder.orig.png ] && rm -v $d/folder.png $d/folder_blue.png && mv -v $d/folder.orig.png $d/folder.png || echo "ERROR!" done 4/ Notes * Crystal SVG icons theme is installed by kdelibs-data-trinity * On Debian-based systems, dpkg diversions may be added: for d in /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do dpkg-divert --local --divert $d/folder.orig.png --add $d/folder.png done To remove: for d in /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/*/filesystems ; do dpkg-divert --remove $d/folder.png done 5/ Disclaimer USE THIS TIP AT YOUR OWN RISK. BACKUPS PREVENT TEARS! For example: cp a /opt/trinity/share/icons/{crystalsvg,.crystalsvg.save} To restore: rm -r /opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg mv /opt/trinity/share/icons/{.crystalsvg.save,crystalsvg} Copyright (C) 2011 Laurent Dard License: GPL-2+ The above text is free documentation; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Laurent Dard

[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
