"wrong" ISO image size to be used in VirtualBox
by Nicola Ferrari (#554252) 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Hi list! I recently experienced a problem with the TDE Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 iso image: it wasn't accepted as VM cd image in virtualbox. To exclude a vbox problem, I wrote to their mailing list: one user told me that, an iso image, to be consired a standard image, should have its size dividable by 2048. [1] I just had a try seeking the image with 2048 as block size and everything is working properly. Maybe images in the future should be "burned" with that block size? Thanks!

[Patches] Enhancement of test/check building
by Fat-Zer 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Good day, A long time ago I (kinda) promised to do something good on the testing support for tdelibs with cmake. I'm sorry I protracted it so much. But as it sad it's better late then never, so I want to present a series of patches to fix/add/restore/enhance/whatever test support in tdelibs. Long story short: the repository is located here: https://github.com/Fat-Zer/tdelibs/tree/fix-check (branch fix-check) Note that cmake submodule has a different link due to it required some modifications too There were already some workarounds for tdeui and tdeabc, but they had several problems: - checks executables were added to "all" target, so they were build unconditionally - tests were run during build phase (which is confusing and wrong) - no test statistics etc What the patch set features: - Add EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL flag for tde_add_library macro - New macro tde_add_check_executable - add tests from dcop/tdecore/tdeui/tdeio/tdeabc/tdewallet - a fix in tdeio against mimemagic (fixes one check application) - 40+ automated tests (mostly of base features which won't likely fail) but anyway IMHO it's nice to have them. How to use: To build tests/check run "make check"; To run automated tests run either "make test" or "ctest"; To run specific tests e.g. for tdecore use "ctest -R tdecore" (note that "tdecore" is just a substring of a test name ) To see verbose output of tests add -V flag "ctest -V -R tdecore". For more information see cmake documentation about ctest and cmake add_test macro. No automated test require nor X session nor a running tde session, but if run inside a such session they may interact with it. About tde_add_check_executable cmake macro: The macro is mostly a tde_add_executable with a redused set of arguments, but except of adding executable target to the "all" it adds them to a special custom target "check". As of specific of test executables (which are mostly one-source-file-based) it doesn't require the SOURCE section, instead of which it globs the files based on the target name. Also it has a TEST argument to automatically add a test out of given file.

kbluetooth
by deloptes 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hi all, I downloaded kdebluetooth-1.0_beta8 and ported the code to TDE 14 (I have most of the tools and libs at 14.1). I can build it without errors. I am now looking into what needs to be done for the code to actually work. The major part is the dbus/bluez5 code. Do you have any hints that could perhaps help me? I have only basic understanding of both dbus/bluez5 and some user experience with both. I read briefly a guide for updating bluez4 to bluez5 and reference to dbus interface. Another challenge is the debian packaging part, perhaps someone would like to help there as I am not sure how TDE packages are build (paths), but even if no one has the time, I have to sit down and learn about it as I would need it in near future so again any hints where to start are appreciated. I have some good understanding how debian/* works, so I need more TDE specifics here. Thank you in advance and regards

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, A big thank you to all who have donated thus far! Unfortunately, the total received is still *far* lower than the overall expenditure on TDE this year. For those who have not donated, please remember that every little bit helps and is appreciated. Regarding the current PayPal / BitCoin options, the only other option I am aware of is Google Pay to possibly accept donations. I have personally avoided Google Pay because it would seem to centralize too much information (personal life + financial information) in one location, however it is one of the only other alternatives to PayPal. Would offering this help those of you opposed to PayPal for various reasons contribute to TDE? Thanks again!

Thanks! + website update

Hi there, Many thanks for your work on Tde, I can't believe that I can have all this on my extremely old computer and still getting a fast responsive desktop :) this page says https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/LiveCDs "unless otherwise marked, all of them contain the most recent version" which is apparently stopped being true since the release of 14.0.4, Exe Gnu/Linux* for example is using 14.0.3 for the 64bit version, while the 32bit version seems to be even older because the last update date for it is 2015! I strongly believe that both Q4 os and Exe Gnu/Linux links needs to be changed in order to reflect the home page not the downloads page, because the user needs to read about them before downloading, I also think that you should change the word "Debian" to "Exe Gnu/Linux" which is more accurate, because it's not Debian :) and state the your "Ubuntu" releases are not official, and is made be you (isn't it?) please discuses respectfully

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, I'll keep this short and simple. The TDE project needs your financial support to continue hosting the services critical for further development. This year we are have fallen significantly short of breaking even on the monthly expenses needed to keep TDE online and under active development; these expenses primarily consist of electricity for the TDE servers and Internet bandwidth. I have been covering the shortfall for several years now, but it has become a great strain over the past few months. If you would prefer to offer financial rewards for fixing specific bugs, that works too, but the bottom line is we need additional financial support to avoid further service cuts that could slow / stop development. We are not in a position to outsource portions of the TDE infrastructure beyond what has already been migrated to external systems such as the mirror distribution system. Attempting to split up the remaining core would simply incur even higher bandwidth costs than what we already have, and altering the stable, running system at this point could end up halting development entirely. Finally, I'd like to personally thank those individuals who have donated, are hosting portions of the TDE infrastructure such as the mirror system and backup site, or have been actively working on TDE development over the past year. Your contributions are much appreciated, and TDE would not be possible without them! If you can, please donate to the TDE project here, and thanks! https://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Timothy Pearson TDE Founder -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAlhcQA0ACgkQLaxZSoRZrGGpJADePLZFFzo15B/lXPQquPXSKe0x k/s4mnFILNlLRwDgoaIivEjRdMvYhT9GaOPYyA85WFRsZBhzrPgpMA== =2xiV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

how to read out the values of a complex dbus reply

Hi, I am trying to understand how I could read out the values of a complex dbus reply I want to access following // org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects (out DICT<OBJPATH,DICT<STRING,DICT<STRING,VARIANT>>> objpath_interfaces_and_properties); https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#standard-interface… In my code I do TQT_DBusConnection connection = TQT_DBusConnection::systemBus(); if (!connection.isConnected()) tqFatal("Failed to connect to system bus"); TQT_DBusProxy proxy(connection); proxy.setService("org.bluez"); // who we work with proxy.setPath("/"); // which object inside the peer work with proxy.setInterface("org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager"); if ( connection.isConnected() ) { if ( proxy.canSend() ) { TQValueList<TQT_DBusData> params; TQT_DBusMessage reply = proxy.sendWithReply("GetManagedObjects", params ); if ( reply.type() != 2 || reply.count() != 1 || reply[0].type() != TQT_DBusData::Map) tqFatal("GetManagedObjects failed"); kdDebug() << "TQT_DBusMessage: Reply " << reply.type() << endl; kdDebug() << "Type: TQT_DBusDataMap " << reply[0].type() << endl; kdDebug() << "Count : " << dict.count() << endl; TQT_DBusDataMap<TQT_DBusObjectPath> dict( reply[0] ); for (TQT_DBusDataMap<TQT_DBusObjectPath>::const_iterator it = dict.begin(); it != dict.end(); ++it) { kdDebug() << (*it).type() << endl; } } else tqFatal("proxy can not send messages"); } else tqFatal("manager is not connected"); result is ./bttest TQT_DBusMessage: Reply 2 Type: TQT_DBusDataMap 16 Count : 0 but when I run gdbus call -y -d "org.bluez" -o "/" -m "org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects" ({objectpath '/org/bluez': {'org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable': @a{sv} {}, 'org.bluez.AgentManager1': {}, 'org.bluez.ProfileManager1': {}, 'org.bluez.Alert1': {}, 'org.bluez.HealthManager1': {}}},)

[trinity-devel] 32-bit openSUSE with TDE on death bed?
by Felix Miata 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

In just a few weeks, openSUSE will have no supported 32-bit "Distribution" release. Tumbleweed at that time will become the only supported 32-bit openSUSE version. According to the TDE wiki, there is no build of TDE for openSUSE Tumbleweed. While 42.2 was in development, I had several installations working with apparent success using the 42.1 TDE repos. So, with 42.2pre working as it did with 42.1 repos, I decided to give a basic level TDE in a minimal X TW installation a try using the 42.2 repos[1]. Zypper didn't want to let me. For 42.2, libmng.so.1 is required by tqt-mt, but in TW, libmng only comes in the .so.2 flavor, so zypper wouldn't let me install TDM without "breaking". I told it to go ahead and break tqt-mt, and it proceeded to install. TDM and TDE session seem to work just fine, but I have no idea whether it's because libmng.so.2 works just fine, or because libmng simply hasn't been called upon, or some other reason. I have looked at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::10840 but it's unclear to me just how the repos listed there might be preferable and/or useful to eliminate the "breakage" I'm experiencing, or how to improve the wiki to incorporate that message's content.
