kcontrol ScreenSaver crashes - can't find lib that is present
by David C. Rankin 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

All, I have noticed that when looking at kcontrol Appearance/Themes Screensaver, the dialog begins to open, then kcontrol crashes. This happens every time. On an odd instance, all of the screensavers will appear, but now it craters 100% of the time. I have looked at the xsession-errors log and it indicates the following: [tdeinit] Got EXT_EXEC 'tdecmshell' from launcher. libpng error: IDAT: invalid distance too far back OpenGL Error: DLL Loader couldn't find/open VBoxOGLpackspu.so X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 19 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x3800006 Apparently, the file that cannot be located is hidden in plain sight: 14:22 valhalla:~> find /usr/lib -name VBoxOGLpackspu.so /usr/lib/VBoxOGLpackspu.so I can confirm that the crash corresponds to the 'OpenGL Error: DLL Loader couldn't find/open VBoxOGLpackspu.so' message, but why is it not finding the file it is looking for at /usr/lib/VBoxOGLpackspu.so? -- David C.

Sound System Notifications Not Playing After Selected
by David C. Rankin 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

All, Since sound is now working on my install, I was setting sound system notifications for events I like feedback on, i.e. shade/unshade, maximize/minimize/restore, etc.. After clicking the '[ ] play sound' for the event and confirming the sound file was present and working by pressing the '|>' button before the sound filename, and then clicking [Apply] I was surprised to find that TDE did not play anything on the events I configured. Playing the sound file with the test '|>' button worked find, but TDE was not responding to the sound events I chose at all. What to check? Also, artsd has gone back to eating 10-17% of the CPU for the 60 second 'autosusped if idle for' period after a sound event. After the 60 second autosuspend period, artsd quiets back down. Why are we setting a 60 second autosuspend by default? Why not set it to 1 or 5 seconds. It would sure make TDE run better giving users back 10-20% of their CPU for the remaining 55 seconds of the timeout. Further, if the user has sound events enabled for a bulk of the events as many sound themes do for TDE, then with an autosuspend set at 60, artsd will be basically grinding away full time. Can we set that to 5 sec by default instead of 60? What are the pros/cons of shortening the autosuspend period? I've seen some of the sound server pages (pulse - perfect setup page) recommending 1 second for the setting. Thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Commit 83f044c5 [tdebase]
by Slávek Banko 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Hi all, Darrell, it appears that it is necessary to add to CMake rule to find path to htsearch. The default path is /usr/lib/cgi-bin/htsearch. Commit 83f044c5 changed the path to /srv/www/cgi-bin/htsearch - probably specific to certain distributions. However at least on Debian and Ubuntu it caused a problem. Therefore, I propose add to CMake rule to search cgi-bin/htsearch on usual paths (/usr/lib, /srv/www, some other?). With the fact that is possible to set the path as a build option. What do you think? -- Slavek

>(1) There is no documentation available for /quanta/index.html I have a handbook on my system. Are you building tdewebdev with cmake or automake? cmake conversion never was completed. If you look at the top level CMakeLists.txt in tdewebdev you'll notice there is no configuration instruction to build docs and in the doc directory there is no CMakeLists.txt. IOW, no docs will be built if you use cmake. >(2) below: > >01:37 valhalla:~> cat $TDEHOME/share/apps/quanta/plugins.rc >cat: /home/david/.trinity/share/apps/quanta/plugins.rc: No such >file or directory Interesting. I wonder then what caused the dialog to appear, but if you are building with cmake then that might be the cause. As the cmake conversion is incomplete then other things might break too. >01:48 valhalla:~> cat $TDEDIR/share/apps/quanta/plugins.rc >[General] >Plugins=KFileReplace, CVS Management (Cervisia),XSLT Debugger, >KImageMapEditor, >Link Checker, Konsole >SearchPaths= > >[CVS Management (Cervisia)] >Arguments= >FileName=trinity/libcervisiapart.la >Icon=cervisia >Location= >OutputWindow=Editor View >Standard=true >Standard Name=cervisia_kpart >Type=KPart >Input=3 > >[KFileReplace] >Arguments= >FileName=trinity/libtdefilereplacepart.la >Icon=tdefilereplace >Input=3 >Location= >OutputWindow=Editor Tab >ReadOnly=true >Standard=false >Type=KPart > >[XSLT Debugger] >Arguments= >FileName=trinity/libkxsldbgpart.la >Icon=xsltproc.png >Input=0 >Location= >OutputWindow=Editor Tab >ReadOnly=true >Standard=false >Type=KPart > >[KImageMapEditor] >FileName=trinity/libkimagemapeditor.la >Icon=kimagemapeditor >Input=1 >Location= >OutputWindow=Editor Tab >ReadOnly=true >Standard=false >Type=KPart > >[Link Checker] >FileName=trinity/libklinkstatuspart.la >Icon=klinkstatus >Input=1 >Location= >OutputWindow=Editor Tab >ReadOnly=true >Standard=false >Type=KPart > >[Konsole] >FileName=trinity/libkonsolepart.la >Icon=konsole >Input=1 >Location= >OutputWindow=Separate Toolview >ReadOnly=true >Standard=false >Type=KPart > > I don't know why I don't have a local copy. Perhaps none needed? To my knowledge, a user copy is not necessary or created when the environment matches the global plugins.rc file. Darrell

Yes, related to renaming. Please paste a copy of your $TDEHOME/share/apps/quanta/plugins.rc. I need to see the exact way the information is stored in plugins.rc with respect to the apps you cited above. Patching r14-xdg-update will be straightforward as we already have a section for plugins.rc. Looks like you uncovered more. :) Tidy I'm not sure, as that is not a Trinity package. You might need to install Tidy from upstream, but let's see what plugins.rc shows. Darrell

Help handbook index not working?
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

All, Does anybody have the help handbook index working? After building the index, I ran a search for the term cgi. The result is a white page: Search Results for 'cgi': Top-Level Documentation Application Manuals khc_htsearch.pl --docbook -- indexdir=/root/.trinity/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/ -- config=tde_application_manuals --words=cgi --method=and --maxnum=5 - -lang=en Same type of results for other terms.
