I have that set to 2 seconds on all of my systems, including my PI and PII clunkers. Yes, 60 seconds seems absurd. Darrell

UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?

by David C. Rankin

All, Usually I just turn the icons off, but I was testing things. First strange behavior was when I turned off Printers, Web Browser, and My Network Places, a new 'System' icon magically appeared on my desktop. So I opened it, and it opened in dolphin - you're kidding right? Then I tred My Computer and Home on the Desktop and both opened in dolphin.... Why does 'Home' on the desktop open in that crippled dolphin while home from kicker open correctly in konqueror file manager? That just seems odd. I don't know where these hooks are made, but I would like to be able to set any desktop icons to open in konqueror instead of dolphin (dl3phin). -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Crystal Window Theme

by Patrick "Kai" Baker

I was searching themes for my TDE install and found Crystal: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal?content=13969 It's source so I tried to set it up but the configure script doesn't generate a Makefile. I get this error at the end: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! I'm not sure what is being referred to by "KDE prefixes" nor how to fix it. I've been using TDE for a while and I'd like to contribute but I'm new to software engineering and I have no idea where to start when dealing with a project as big as TDE. But I would like to contribute by fixing this problem but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any help which can lead me in the right direction will be appreciated. Kai

tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed.

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, This is an error I mentioned earlier, that will need to be fixed for R14. tdeio opens sftp connections fine, but is not closing them. That means for every remote sftp call (i.e. opening/browsing each folder) a separate sftp process is opened, but never closed. The errors when browsing a remote folder look like: tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. svn_cmdline_init done [tdeinit] Got EXT_EXEC 'kwrite' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: sftpRead: read failed with code 1 The result is you have numerous sftp processes left open. This was just a quick open and save a screeenshot on host:nirvana and a quick open/browse tde folder on host:phoinix, but I now have the following sftp processes running on my box: 1131 ?

Re: [trinity-devel] kcontrol ScreenSaver crashes - can't find lib that is present

by Darrell Anderson

>OpenGL Error: DLL Loader couldn't find/open VBoxOGLpackspu.so This message is from libGL and not Trinity. I see messages like this whenever libGL is called indirectly from Trinity. For example, on my system, running 'tdecmshell opengl' results in libGL spew. Try running the screen saver module directly in a terminal: tdecmshell screensaver Then you'll see the errors and warnings directly and won't have to wade through the xsession-error log. Despite the complaints by libGL, the screensaver module should not crash. Can you capture a kcrash backtrace? Darrell

Add attached to tdebase /opt/trinity/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, I created a fantastic kicker wallpaper that I would like to have added to the tdebase install. (343 bytes total) It goes with the default theme and makes kicker look pretty slick. I'm not saying make it the default kicker background, but just provide it in the directory. I would probably rename it 'blueglass.png' instead of the attached filename. Take a look. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Darrell - does building tdebase with tsak, then disabling in tdmrc work for you?

by David C. Rankin

Darrell, I have experimented with tdebase building with -DBUILD_TSAK=OFF and building with it on and simply disabling it in tdmrc. I think the latter works just as well and gives the user to option to enable it if desired. All I do is post make-install: # disable SAK in tdmrc by default (user can enable if desired) sed -i 's/#UseSAK=false/UseSAK=false/' \ ${pkgdir}${TDEDIR}/share/config/tdm/tdmrc May help, may not, thought I would pass it along... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
