svn kdm chooser - not allowing login?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Guys, I started the kdm greeter and it started fine on vt:07. It listed my login and looked nice. I type my password, hit return and .. "Login Failed" Huh? I looked though kdmrc and there didn't seem to be anything that would prevent a user login. root wasn't allowed, but that is the default. Anybody else seeing this? Any thoughts on why? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

trinity, squeeze, laptop-wireless
by Paul Cartwright 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

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. -- Paul Cartwright

kdewebdev quanta+ - unmet OPTIONAL dependencies
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

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. -- David C.

Trinity svn - Runs Very Very Well! Good job Trinity Devs!
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

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. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Can we make Trinity ignore /usr/share/autostart?
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

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: [21:42 supersff:/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions] # l /usr/share/autostart/ total 128 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 10 16:53 . drwxr-xr-x 408 root root 12288 Feb 15 11:49 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4417 Jan 27 08:47 kaddressbookmigrator.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3649 Jan 27 08:46 kalarm.autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6539 Jan 18 15:24 kgpg.desktop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11509 Jan 19 16:04 klipper.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4196 Jan 19 16:23 kmix_autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6638 Jan 19 16:03 konqy_preload.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5846 Jan 27 08:46 korgac.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2881 Jan 19 16:04 krunner.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13602 Jan 19 16:04 kwrited-autostart.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10584 Jan 19 16:04 nepomukserver.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3710 Jan 19 16:05 plasma-desktop.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Jan 19 16:05 plasma.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 908 Dec 9 02:51 polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6000 Jan 18 15:24 printer-applet.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3506 Jan 19 16:23 restore_kmix_volumes.desktop 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? -- David C.

applications/knemo - ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

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 Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package) 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. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! Aborting... You guys have a great evening :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
