QuickBuild update
by Timothy Pearson 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

All, I have put a significant amount of work into the QuickBuild system over the past week in an attempt to stabilize it and increase performance. While I am aware that there were some outages in random components (most notably the PPA mirror redirects) while I was doing this, all issues should be resolved at this point. As of this writing four build machines are online, one for each architecture. As we have reached the chiller fund goal (see prior messages) the remaining x86/amd64 build machines will be brought back online over the next couple weeks. Please let me know what you think, and definitely let me know if anything is still malfunctioning! Tim

Fresh clean build last night. I ran into two build failures with tdegames and tdeaddons: tdegames: /dev/shm/tdegames/kpat/freecell-solver/move.c:468: undefined reference to `convert_freecell_num' tdeaddons: /dev/shm/tdeaddons/atlantikdesigner/designer/designer.cpp:30:29: fatal error: atlantic/estate.h: No such file or directory Any ideas?

Improve compton-tde configuration options
by Slávek Banko 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

François, Darrell, please can you test a set of patches from the bug report 2028? In my opinion, the patches look good and I'm ready to push. Soon I make a test build on all supported Debian and Ubuntu versions. So I would like if you can test some of your distributions. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2028 Many thanks -- Slavek

TDE running on real MIPS hardware
by Slávek Banko 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hi all, when I was preparing my small builder for 'R14 preliminary stable-builds' alternative apt source, I did not plan other architectures than i386 and amd64. But then I made a few tests to probe ways to also build both arm architectures. The tests were successful, so they are now available all architectures as on the build-farm. Given that builds for other platforms are going pretty well, I tried one more experiment. Because I have an older SGI Indy workstation, I tried on my small builder to build packages in addition for MIPS architecture. And experiment has succeeded. With little difficulty is now built 100% packages! Graphics card on my SGI Indy hardware unfortunately only allows 8-bit color depth, and as I found on this color depth many TDE application crashes - see bug 2033. Attached screenshot is therefore from TightVNC server, where I set a higher color depth. I note that this machine has only 64 MiB RAM, so it is very slow. But it works! Note: Packages for Wheezy on MIPS are available in my APT source. If someone has a better hardware than my SGI Indy (about 1995), you can try it and let know how it works for you :) -- Slavek

compton × screensavers
by Slávek Banko 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hi all, I tried to set the compositor to compton-tde and now instead of screensaver Clock shows only black screen. In the test, the Clock is displayed correctly. When I set the screensaver to Swarm, the bees appear, but background is not erased - bees appears on the desktop background image. With screensaver Science displays the background image, but it is not visible any further activity. Some screensavers do not show problems - Fiberlamp, Galaxy. Anyone notice the same behavior? -- Slavek

If tdebindings is not available....
by Michele Calgaro 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

All, does anyone knows what would stop working if tdebindings is not installed? And what would stop compiling is tdebindings is not available at compile time? Just out of curiosity. I had a FTBFS yesterday night and this questions came to mind. Cheers Michele

FTBFS: new "compton" does not build on older distro

Never take vacation & Bug 1998
by David C. Rankin 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

All, I'm back - I hope. What started as a planned week "family trip" (not exactly vacation -- 3 kids, car 16 hour road trip)( was actually great), but on return left us a week behind in all other aspects of life, with a case scheduled for 4/21 multiple depos remaining, pre-trial, etc.. -- then my client had a stroke. (enough said, but I'm just finally getting unburried in time for taxes :-) Slavek, have you had a chance to look at bug 1998. I am stuck after implementing the k4 multiseat patches in TDE, which compile beautifully and appear to solve part of the problem with tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol, but I am lost following the effects of the patch through the remainder of the code. (the patches include a new tdebase/cmake/modules/FindSystemd.cmake, that makes systemd available to cmake when found on the target system) I need help getting this patch implemented. TDE is NOT enterprise ready without it. TDE must allow user access to sound, user mount (cd/dvd/usb, etc..) via normal udev/polkit, and must prevent the race conditions with tdehwlib/tdepowersave, etc. with the purse systemd implementation. Right now it doesn't. To be blunt, TDE is unusable on pure systemd distros like Arch due to these problems and I can't release TDE to Arch as usable until we get some way of solving this problem. Right now I can build and run TDE, but it takes ugly hacks to provide user access to sound or cd/dvd/usb. (essentially add every user to the audio, sys and disk groups just to get access which is a glaring no-no) Additionally, you have to disable tdepowersave to prevent filling the logs with hundreds-of-thousands of errors (per hour). So far all examples that have been provided where TDE 'works' with systemd have NOT been systemd implementations, but instead init-script implementations of TDE that hand off control to systemd-sysvcompat, not true services where 'systemctl start tdm.service' is used to launch tde/tdm directly by systemd itself. The init-script case is not systemd, but the compatibility mode for the old init-script implementation. Many distros are working through the transition and will be pure-systemd in the very near future (even Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/systemd). So we need to get this fixed. Let's get a plan together for testing/implementing the needed fix. I'm happy to do the work, but it is not something I can do myself in any reasonable amount of time. I need help finding/following all the needles through the TDE haystack. Let me know when you have a bit of time to devote to the issue. All help is welcome. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
