The etherpad hasn't received updates in a while. We need some hacking. Blocker: ======== http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd =Blocker Critical: ========= http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd =Critical Michele is working on 1825, but could use help. That is an ugly bug from a public relations perspective. The comments provide a lot of details. 1853 needs attention. 1821 hasn't been touched. 1813 can be closed after the last comment is implemented. Regressions: ============ 1825 is bad (already mentioned in Critical). The others should receive attention but probably could survive the R14.0.0 cut. Patches Available: ================== Lots of patches sitting out there that have not been reviewed. Likely many could be pushed. Other: ====== * The new web site should be tested before moving toward a release date. * There is a laundry list of items in the R14 checklist etherpad that need attention. Darrell

R14 RC1 ready?

by Timothy Pearson

All, I would like to tag the current sources and binaries R14.0.0 RC1, as it appears that we have finally cleared the Blocker and Critical reports from the R14 Etherpad. Are we ready for this or are there any objections? Thanks! Tim

That you see a list of available printers probably means CUPS is configured correctly. My printer is connected as a network device. After you share the exact steps I'll try to duplicate here.

If kmix is not autostarting, then try manually starting from the command line. Darrell

I just want to see something that we can use locally. The web page is great for visitors and community members. But those of us on the development team should have a way of creating the same list locally. I'll be happy to test anything like that. Darrell

(flag it >for R15) tdenetworkmanager is an app and not a service. That said, bug report 1613 addresses the issue of no GUI method to control autostart. I tested moving my tdenetworkmanagerrc file. tdenetworkmanager started but no rc file was created initially. When I terminated tdenetworkmanager from the popup menu and responded to the dialog not to ask me again, then the rc file created. Seems then the rc file normally is not created. Darrell

>Oh, it's autostarting every time - it just comes up with a big red >X over it and >and it is dead as a doornail. Can't find any mixer, nothing.. Place the following at the top of kmixrc: Autostart=false The key and value goes at the top of the rc file. No group category. Then with no autostarting, after Trinity starts, open konsole and start kmix manually. Hopefully the stdout/stderr provides a clue. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] R14 RC1 ready?

Perhaps not just FTBFS, but as many build issue reports as possible: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd =Build%20issues I would like to see us push as many PATCHAVAIL as possible. Many people put in the effort to supply patches. We should thank them by pushing the patches if possible. I'm working continually on the help handbooks. At the pace we're going, I think I'll be complete with most of the major interface issues before RC1. But we have lots to do between now and an agreement of declaring RC1. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] R14 RC1 ready?

>Ah, then TDevelop pages are just more to throw on the heap. A few >meetings >today, then I'll add TDevelop to the etherpad. If you have any >other etherpads >currently in use that would be a better place for the TDevelop >stuff, let me know. TDevelop is somewhat a mess: a hodge-podge mixture of tdev* and kdev* naming. Horribly inconsistent. We need to perform massive renaming on tdevelop much like we did recently with tdebindings. I started working on this several weeks aog, but then got entrenched in the help handbook surgeries. We should perform this before RC1. Darrell
