tdeaccessibility 14.0.13 build failure on Slackware?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 15 Nov '22

Any idea why it may fail? log attached from log: [ 60%] Building CXX object kttsd/kttsd/CMakeFiles/kttsd.dir/threadedplugin.cpp.o [ 60%] Generating KSayItView.h, KSayItView.cpp In file included from /tmp/build/tmp-tdeaccessibility/tdeaccessibility-trinity-14.0.13/build-tdeaccessibility/kttsd/kcmkttsmgr/kcmkttsmgrwidget.cpp:12: /tmp/build/tmp-tdeaccessibility/tdeaccessibility-trinity-14.0.13/build-tdeaccessibility/kttsd/kcmkttsmgr/kcmkttsmgrwidget.h:37:1: error: expected class-name before '{' token 37 | { | ^ note, I upgrade from tde 14.0.12 via Ray-V's slackbuilds other packages upgrade themselves ok so far ....

TDE R14.0.13 release is still broken
by Felix Miata 01 Nov '22

01 Nov '22

I thought I reported this a year ago. I can't find one on <https://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=7199…> and <https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/issues> says I never filed any reports at all, which I find hard to believe. :( Fedora 36, only my second upgrade to 14.0.13 following one on Devuan, where the instant problem did not occur. This was not a true "upgrade" from a user perspective. I deleted ~/.trinity so to get a fresh start, then logged into what I thought would be a virgin TDE session. First click on menu starter produced a "Malformed URL system:/" Kicker popup that must be dismissed before the menu starter can be successfully opened. That first click followed configuring clock and panel. It's repeatable across sessions. :( First attempt to log out, after typing the above, took probably about 30 seconds from mouse click to login manager re-appearance, with most of time spent "notifying applications", of which the only one I opened was Konsole. On next login, soundserver crash handler appears, same as was happening on all my Fedora 14.0.12 installations IIRC. An accompanying popup reports KNotify crashed while instantiating itself, and also asks if I want to try again or disable ARTS. The really aggravating part is my xrandr startup script in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ that works fine in openSUSE and Mageia is totally ignored, so primary status is errantly assigned to the smaller display, and I can't find any way to get TDE to run the script itself on startup. If I run it after starting the session, Kicker doesn't land on the bottom of the larger screen, instead falling above by a distance defined by the difference in height of the two displays. :(

[devels] copy/paste fubar from Konsole to mcedit
by Felix Miata 30 Oct '22

30 Oct '22

Attached is example of what happens when selecting and copying Konsole content into a plain text file opened with MCedit (F4 in MC). This instance is from trinity-sb in Bullseye, with window size 132x43, but it's been happening in various distros and various TDE versions 14.0.12 & up. This has been going on for months in more and more installations as time goes on. More and more I find myself needing to redirect output to a file, but it's often not possible to regenerate the same output needed for sharing in a bug, forum post or email. A quick and easy way to strip all white space from start of a line would be appreciated as a workaround until this is fixed. Blocks of many lines increase whitespace so much that it's very hard to manually remove. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

[Leap] Can't have both TDE and Plasma on same installation with same user
by Felix Miata 23 Oct '22

23 Oct '22

# rpm -qa | grep lasma5-de plasma5-desktop-5.24.4-bp154.2.3.2.x86_64 # rpm -qa | grep ty-kde trinity-kdesktop-14.0.12-1.oss154.x86_64 Trying to run a Plasma session from TDM never completely starts: We are sorry, klauncher closed unexpectedly. You cannot report this error, because klauncher does not provide a bug reporting address. We are sorry, kdepowerdevil, closed unexpectedly. You cannot report... We are sorry, ksplashqml, closed unexpectedly. You cannot report... Trying to run a TDE session there are similar continuously repeating popups from the KDE Crash Handler about segfaulting /usr/bin/kglobalaccel5 that steal focus from anything needed or wanted to do in TDE session. Making it non-executable stops the popups, but making executable again makes the popups return instantly. Removing all KDE settings from ~/.local/share/ and ~/.config/ also fails to prevent this interference in a TDE session unless TDM is also restarted before logging into TDE. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

copying big files inside 32 bit konqueror
by Andrew Randrianasulu 21 Oct '22

21 Oct '22

Hi all! I compiled tde 14.0.12 on 32 bit slackware (mostly 15.0, but actually upgraded from much earlier versions) via Ray-V Slackbuilds and desktop works ok. But today I tried to copy 4.3 gb file from my home dir open in one konqueror tab into media/sdc1 (newly inserted usb flash drive) open in another tab, by selecting two files, and then selecting 'copy' from their context menu, and then switching tab and pasting files there. I was surprized to see error on bigger file, one with 4.3 GB in size, while smaller file (2GB) copied ok. I copied bigger file with mc ok. I wonder if this behaviour just comes from miscompilation (missing LARGEFILE_SOURCE ? ) or issue might be deeper ?

kdDebug on the fly
by deloptes 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Hi, I hope someone can assist here. I couldn't come with better title, sorry. I write a test application and I want to run the compiled code without installing. So I build using make -f debian/rules build and then run LD_LIBRARY_PATH=obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/testapp obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/testapp/testapp but I do not get any debugging symbols and no debugging output with kdDebug. tqDebug works, but this is not what I want. How can I compile so that I can have the debugging with kdDebug without building dbgsym packages. Does someone have an advise. thanks -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

Steam Hardware Survery
by Mike Bird 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Steam does occasional random hardware surveys. When it sees TDE it records the window manager as KWin (see screenshot attached). I don't know whether the TDE devels think it better to be recorded as KWin or whether you'd prefer to make some change to be recorded instead as TWin. Indeed I don't know how Steam guesses which window manager is running. Anyway this just FWIW. --Mike

by Slávek Banko 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

Hi all, as developers, you are probably more involved, so you probably keep in mind that there is a plan for release R14.0.13 at the end of October. Therefore, only a small reminder, if you are not subscribed to the tde-announcements list: https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/announcements@trin… Cheers -- Slávek
