Re: [trinity-devel] Default video player (Formerly UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?)

by Darrell Anderson

>This gets us no closer to solving the problem of a viable default >video player, though, unless we want to shift KMPlayer into tde- >multimedia. Merging kmplayer is worth a discussion, unless we fix kaboodle with nominal effort and pain. We're no longer in the 1990s --- we really do need a working default video player these days. We have two hurdles with kaboodle: Broken in R14. I can play audio files with some user accounts and can't start kaboodle at all with other accounts. Probably something at my end, but consistently I can't play videos. The supported video formats are few and they are both early generation versions. Yes, both. As far as I can tell the only supported formats are early generations of AVI and MPG. I filed bug reports against both issues. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Default video player (Formerly UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?)

by Darrell Anderson

>7) all distros support mplayer in one form or another I suppose this is a packager problem, but the original idea of a default player is no external dependencies. MPlayer is well supported but is not part of a stock installation on all distros. Other dependency presumptions exist in Trinity (for example, xine for amarok), yet nominating kmplayer as a default video player and moving into tdemultimedia means MPlayer needs to be installed. Audio players are not the same challenge. We have kaboodle, noatun, and juk, all installed by the base package tdemultimedia. Fixing kaboodle gets us half way home. The other half is update kaboodle to support newer generations of avi/mpg and like or not, probably should support flv. For a default player that will suffice. People who want extensive video format coverage are going to install something else anyway. For Trinity users those additional apps will be kaffiene and kmplayer for video and amarok for audio. Not a problem for those types of users. We are discussing a basic default video player for the first-time out-of-the-box Trinity experience. Darrell

We should have a bugzilla status option such as I18NREVIEW and FIXED_I18NREVIEW to help us update i18n files. Refer to bug report 1813 for a similar idea for help handbooks. Darrell

I suspect the problem you are experiencing is resolved by an undocumented configuration change. I know of no place this documented, no place this is easily remembered, no place this is obviously configurable. Try this, Open konqueror. Change to Tree View or Detailed List View. At the bottom of the file pane, "right click" on any part of the blank white space. From the popup menu, select Properties. The dialog should show "Type: Folder." At the right side of the "Type" information line, select the tiny wrench icon. In the subsequent "Edit File Type inode/directory" dialog, select the Embedding tab. In the Services Preferences Order list box, move Tree View or Detailed List View to the top. Save. You also can do this in kcontrol -> File Associations -> inode -> directory. Now try saving your konqueror profile. I always have hated icon view mode. Darrell

konqueror (filemanagment) NOT saving view preferences in konquerorrc

by David C. Rankin

All, For some reason, konqueror --profile filemanagement is not saving the needed settings to remember view mode in ~/.trinity/share/config/konquerorrc. In R14 after setting konqueror and saving view profile filemanagement I have the following relevant entries in konquerorrc: [MainView Settings] BackRightClick=false OpenMiddleClick=true [ModeToolBarServices] external=konq_treeview This results in the viewmode reverting to iconview after every change in view like viewing man:/ ,etc.. Comparing to my other kde3 installs I find: [MainView Settings] BackRightClick=false OpenMiddleClick=true ToggableViewsShown=konq_sidebartng ViewMode=konq_treeview [ModeToolBarServices] external=gvdirpart konq_iconview=konq_iconview konq_listview=konq_treeview Which shows explicitly the konq_treeview mode save for the default "ViewMode" and for "konq_listview". Without the default "ViewMode" and without the "konq_listview" definition, konqueror reverts to iconview each time viewmode changes. Please check and confirm whether have "ViewMode" or "konq_listview" or "konq_iconview" entries in your konquerorrc. I have no clue what change would prevent konqueror from saving these settings in konquerorrc, but something has. Additionally, the checkboxes that indicate which viewmode is selected seem to be missing or covered by icons in the 'View'->'ViewMode' menu. Can anyone confirm that as well? I have Treemode selected, but it is almost impossible to tell: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/konqueror-ViewModeIndicator.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

>Translations are currently a problem because we need first to >update 'po' >files. I intend that this will be one of the tasks for maintanance >release R14.0.2. I don't speak or read additional languages, but I would like to see i18n files receive attention too. I try to remember to update the i18n files when I make changes in the main files, but I don't always remember (I'm working on updates now to match some recent patches). Considering all of the renaming and rebranding changes made in git, I suspect the i18n files are in horrible shape. We have made changes to the top level help handbooks. I am certain no related updates have been made in the i18n files. There is the challenge of when we update screen captures to update the i18n versions too. That probably does not require a native language speaker, but does require toggling to the other language to create the screen capture. Part of our focus when we address the i18n files should be to develop a guideline so as a group we can update i18n files as much as possible when we modify the main files. Darrell

The left Win key doesn't do anything on my system. I want to disable the right Win key because I am tired of the popup menus appearing when I inadvertently bump the key. I spent about a half-hour last night trying to figure out how to disable the right Win key. I still haven't found a way. I'd settle for an xorg.conf solution too if I can fid one. Darrell

I >prefer kaboodle >for a one-shot play of a music file. What about videos in kaboodle? I am discovering that some user accounts can open both apps but some accounts can't. On the accounts that I can open both, I can get both to play audio files, but I can't get kaboodle to play video files. Just hangs. >Check to make sure you have the needed codecs installed. The apps work in 3.5.13.2 so I don't think that is the problem. Even if that was the problem, I'd expect the apps do just do nothing rather than freeze and hang. I also would expect some spew in the xsession-error log but there is nothing. I build all of my packages with debugging enabled. Deleting rc files makes no difference. Darrell

tdeutils - installing irkick.png icons off / directory?

by David C. Rankin

All, Please confirm. Something in tdeutils 'make install' paths are broken and it is installing /hicolor/16x16/apps/irkick.png at that absolute path as well as the /locolor/16x16/apps/irkick.png. The same is true for the 22x22 and 32x32 icons for the same: /hicolor/16x16/apps/irkick.png /hicolor/22x22/apps/irkick.png /hicolor/32x32/apps/irkick.png /locolor/16x16/apps/irkick.png /locolor/32x32/apps/irkick.png I'm building tdeutils without any strange patches: cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-} # copy system libtool and ltmain scripts cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ./admin/libtool.m4.in cp /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh ./admin ## Generate config files and update with autoreconf cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-} make -f admin/Makefile.common ## configure ./configure \ --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \ --sysconfdir=${TDEDIR}/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --enable-debug=full \ --enable-closure ## make $NUMJOBS make $NUMJOBS cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-} make -j1 DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install What got broke and where? -- David C.
