Good Day everyone,
after the latest update and after I logged in into TDM some xmessage boxes popped up before starting TDE and informed me of some errors.
The second time I start my PC and TDE it's only one xmessage box.
Clicking away these boxes result in starting a TDE session normally and I haven't observed any problems yet.
What can I do to satisfy r14-xdg-update or at least silence it?
Any hint is appreciated.
Kind regards, Stefan Krusche
====== More Information =====
I've only found this information regarding the complaint of this r14-xdg-update script in /var/tmp/tdecache-$USER:
$ cat r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt <Filename>kde-KMail.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kwrite.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-konsole.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksystemlog.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-konsole.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksystemlog.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-KMail.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-knetworkmanager.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-Home.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kwrite.desktop</Filename>
And there are a couple of lines in ~/.xsession-errors which don't tell me more than "error code is 9" which seems to mean that test number 9 of that script failed (see above).
That R14_UPDATE_TEST9 basically greps the tdemenu-config-file:
grep "<Filename>kde-" "$USER_DIR/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu"
and accordingly finds some entries because there are some with that string, old config files brought from good old kde3 which exist under ~/ and as they are properly registered with tdemenu always have worked. AIUI it doesn't matter what the file name really is but I never got familiar with the way the configuration of TDE's menus is implemented in XML and so on.
If I'd rename the files so that r14-xdg-update is happy and change the entries in applications-tdemenuedit.menu accordingly the "error" probably would vanish I guess. But maybe r14-xdg-update shouldn't complain in the first place or make it clear what actually the problem is which I don't see.

I'm getting the same alert, it doesn't seem to be effecting anything.
It says, "Likely a file permissions issue", which seems interesting.

Thanks for the confirmation, Curt.
Yes, that's what I've been thinking. But why the "error"-message then. The only thing I found is the "kde-" naming of some old files as I pointed out in the OP.
It says, "Likely a file permissions issue", which seems interesting.
I could not find anything related to file permissions and I don't know what kind of file permission problem that would be. It's about configuration files in ~/.config and ~/.local which always have had the same permissions and still have. Anyway, I can't remember what the complaints were when I first encountered this, there were three, maybe three different tests of this r14-xdg-update thing.
Kind regards, Stefan

You can safely delete the 11 mentioned lines in the ......tdemenuedit.menu -file, you'll find the same entries there again, though starting with tde-....., nothing is lost. Then delete the ....test9.txt file in /var/tmp/tdecache-$USER, end the current session and restart it again. Now only one error-warning pops up and if you again restart the session, also this pop-up has disappeared. Yes, I uttered quite some strong words when I encountered that nuisance and had to put the puzzle together:-)
Kind regards, Peter.

Good explanation, thank you.
Has someone also encountered that it takes much longer to start the TDE session after recent updates?
I have the impression that the first start after an upgrade + reboot + login takes much longer than what was before.

Yes. With the emphasis on the word "much".
I'm waiting for an official fix to the script problem, basically because I don't understand it: the error message(s) is/are too vague to be sure of what to do to fix it without being certain that one's not breaking something else. It seems pretty likely that everyone who installs the most recent batch of updates will trigger it, so I expect a fix will come quickly.

Yes I've noticed it takes TDE longer to load. As for the r14-xdg-update script error. I always get that after a major update.
All I do is this.
I comment out everything from line 315 to line 340. Fixes the problems, sort of.
Thanks to all, be safe. Wash your keyboard pokers.

FWIW, I have never seen it before this morning when I installed the latest updates.

Well, I'm not so sure about that one. The actual files being referred to are named kde-*. So, if the entries with "kde-*" are deleted, the entries with "tde-*" would probably fail to find the files because there are no files named as "tde-*"…
Thank you.

Maybe also the prefix "tde-" is omitted. Well, a simple exercise to verify. Copy, to be safe, the file ....tdemenuedit.menu to somewhere else with an irrelevant name. Delete the 2 lines with "kde-KMail" in the original file, save the file, end the session and now restart the whole PC to be sure, that the memory is emptied. Ignore, after the restart, the annoying messages and now try to start KMail as you did in the past. If it starts, problem is solved and you can delete the other 9 lines. If not, what I very much doubt, you still have the backup.
Good luck, Peter.

As I originally posted I can figure a way to manually abolish the reason for r14-xdg-update's complaint. That would have to be tested.
end the session and now restart the whole PC to be sure, that the memory is emptied.
AIUI it would not be necessary to reboot. Restart TDE or X should be good enough.
Ignore, after the restart, the annoying messages and now try to start KMail as you did in the past. If it starts, problem is solved and you can delete the other 9 lines. If not, what I very much doubt, you still have the backup.
Does that mean you haven't tested that? Then it makes sense to wish me good luck! ;-)
Good luck, Peter.
Same to you!

For the records, this has been addressed. Problems were likely to happen with test6 and test9. The problem with test6 was caused by a reasonably recent commit that highlighted an hidden issue. The problem with test9 is linked to the same problem and an automatic fix has been put in place. This fix will be applied only if it is safe to do so. There could be special cases when an autofix is not possible and in such case test9 will keep failing and a manual fix needs to be applied. This is likely related to special tde menu editing configuration. Feel free to report it here if you need support. The upcoming R14.0.8 release will contain the above fixes.
Cheers Michele

I assume this is in PSB (Prelim. Stable Build), or soon will be?

Yes, your assumption is correct - this is are already in the PSB. However, for PTB it is necessary to wait a bit, as builders are now busy building the final R14.0.8 packages.
