/etc/pam.d files - where in code to check what uses which file in /etc/pam.d?
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

All, Working the systemd issue, I ran across a question. Where do you look in the code TDE or system to find out what is calling/using the files located in /etc/pam.d? I say that because the only trinity related pam.d file I install is: /etc/pam.d/trinity #%PAM-1.0 #auth required pam_securetty.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth include system-local-login account include system-local-login session include system-local-login Files already existing in pam.d relevant to the trinity file are: /etc/pam.d/system-local-login #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-login account include system-login password include system-login session include system-login /etc/pam.d/system-login #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_tally.so onerr=succeed file=/var/log/faillog auth required pam_shells.so auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth include system-auth account required pam_access.so account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_loginuid.so session include system-auth session optional pam_motd.so motd=/etc/motd session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard quiet -session optional pam_systemd.so session required pam_env.so However, even after the logind-multiseat-patch, the loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID output is still: NAutoVTs=6 KillExcludeUsers=root KillUserProcesses=no IdleHint=yes IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 InhibitDelayMaxUSec=5s HandlePowerKey=poweroff HandleSuspendKey=suspend HandleHibernateKey=hibernate HandleLidSwitch=suspend IdleAction=ignore IdleActionUSec=30min PreparingForShutdown=no PreparingForSleep=no This suggests to me, that my pam.d setup is not sufficient to enable the needed user session tracking. Francios pam config is different in several areas and he has several more pam.d files related to kde/TDE than I do. How do you tell you setup to use additional files in /etc/pam.d/? Where is the code that asks to see a file named '/etc/pam.d/whatever' in TDE and how is the name of the file in /etc/pam.d/foo established? Where is the link between the code and 'foo'? I think that is another area that could be giving all of us without consolekit issue. Because you are required to register you login and session with the 'pam stack' and that is where I'm stumbling. One of the requirements in the freedesktop.org docs is that you register the greeter with pam. I don't see that explicitly happening anywhere in tdm/backend/client.c. The best I can come up with is it should be done with something like this at about line 1325 in the multiseat patched file: if ((pretc = pam_misc_setenv( pamh, XDG_SESSION_CLASS, "greeter", 0 )) != PAM_SUCCESS) { ReInitErrorLog(); LogError( "pam_misc_setenv() for %s failed: %s\n", curuser, pam_strerror( pamh, pretc ) ); return 0; } This is similar to an example given by freedesktop for registering the greeter with pam. Can someone with more smarts regarding pam give me a little insight into (1) where the code -> /etc/pam.d/foo file connection is made; and (2) do you find the greeter being previously registered with pam anywhere else outside of the consolekit preprocessor directives? -- David C.

Bug 1902 - TDE logind multiseat patch port
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Francios, Slavek, I have ported the kde-workspace-4.11.0-kdm-logind-multiseat.patch to tdebase. The code fit like a glove showing that there had been very little change to kdm in kde4. I was able to find the exact context for each hunk and I manually applied the hunks to the relevant tdebase files. I need you to look over the patch and make sure it looks sane. Let me know if you see anything out of place. I will attempt a tdebase build, test if successful and will report back. Patch attached. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Bug 881 - katesort (TQt3/TDE) conversion complete, need integration help
by David C. Rankin 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Darrell, I have completed conversion of the katesort-1.0 source to TQt3/TDE and it builds fine. Download the converted source here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/cfg/applications-katesort-plugin.t… The source installs properly in /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins like all the rest of the plugins, but for some reason isn't automatically read and included by kate when kate is started. I'll look at the kate code. I suspect it is due to all plugins beginning with kate..... and this just being 'sort' instead of 'katesort' The package contents and the plugin_sort.rc are: tde-katesort-plugin-R14preRC1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz /opt/ /opt/trinity/ /opt/trinity/lib/ /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/ /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libsortplugin.la /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libsortplugin.so /opt/trinity/share/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/ /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/plugin_sort.rc /opt/trinity/share/doc/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/common /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/index.cache.bz2 /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/index.docbook /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/cs/katesort/sort_plugin_cs.png /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/ /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/common /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/index.cache.bz2 /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/index.docbook /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/katesort/sort_plugin_en.png /opt/trinity/share/icons/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/katesort.png /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/ /opt/trinity/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/actions/katesort.png /opt/trinity/share/services/ /opt/trinity/share/services/katesort.desktop /opt/trinity/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort/plugin_sort.rc <!DOCTYPE kpartgui> <kpartplugin name="sort" library="libsortplugin" version="1"> <MenuBar> <Menu name="tools"><Text>&Tools</Text> <Action name="edit_insert_sort"/> </Menu> </MenuBar> <ToolBar name="extraToolBar"> <Action name="edit_insert_sort"/> </ToolBar> <ActionProperties> <Action icon="katesort" name="edit_insert_sort" /> </ActionProperties> </kpartplugin> This is done, the only thing left is to get the hook working so kate autoloads the plugin on start. -- David C.

Congratulations Darrell - Threading Works!!!
by David C. Rankin 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Darrell, It just snapped to me as I was following the conversation through a nicely threaded discussion - Darrell has a new mailer! I see it is kmail and it is working great. Thanks for the switch. I'm sure you are viewing the messages threaded, if not look under the 'Folder' menu and there is an option for Message Threading that will show all messages threaded by conversation on your end. Looks good, thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Please revert commit 77aed4a4 [Add nominal preventive maintenance in starttde]
by François Andriot 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello, I've just found out some changes in the "starttde" script, see commit 77aed4a4 http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/1393268197:77aed4a4eba63e760c40cc5b3d… I do not agree with what that patch for 2 reasons: 1) The principe: on my computer, I'm using TDE both on local session and in remote session at the same time, using the same user account. So when I login remotely, this patch will probably kill my locally-opened session ... 2) The way it is written: there are several piped commands (why not using a single awk or simply use bash ?) and the code is not robust at all. What is my user is called "greppy" for example ? (ok this is unlikely, but not impossible). The "grep -v grep" will eliminate this line ... Please avoid using a full-featured "ps" output then trying to parse the output! The "ps" command can already filter on user (ps -u $USER) and select output format (ps -o field1,field2 ...) So, at very least, the command could look like : ps -u ${USER} -o pid,cmd h | while read pid command args; do case "${command##*/}" in "dcopserver"|"gam_server") kill $pid ;; esac done Another approach would be to parse the /proc/[0-9]*/ folders, to avoid using any "ps" command at all...

CMake - get list of ALL variables available to build (take the upper hand)
by David C. Rankin 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

All, I have always been frustrated by not knowing what variables were available to cmake so that I could intelligently adjust include_directories or target_link_libraries without pulling my hair out. I have stumbled on two very different and very useful ways of showing all cmake variables available to your build. They literally pull back the cmake veil of secrecy... Both are simple: (1) simply include the following code snippet in any CMakeLists.txt to dump all variables (both in-use & available) to stdout during the build (then just save the list to a text file): # dump all variable names get_cmake_property(_variableNames VARIABLES) foreach (_variableName ${_variableNames}) message(STATUS "${_variableName}=${${_variableName}}") endforeach() (2) simply call cmake with 'cmake -LAH' and it will do something similar, but not quite as complete. The outputs are this: (1) (from an old kde3 install) -- Could NOT find Threads (missing: Threads_FOUND) -- Found KDE3 include dir: /opt/kde3/include -- Found KDE3 library dir: /opt/kde3/lib64 -- Found KDE3 dcopidl preprocessor: /opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl -- Found KDE3 dcopidl2cpp preprocessor: /opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl2cpp -- Found KDE3 kconfig_compiler preprocessor: /opt/kde3/bin/kconfig_compiler -- CMAKE_AR=/usr/bin/ar -- CMAKE_BASE_NAME=g++ <snip> -- KDE3PREFIX=/opt/kde3 -- KDE3_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -- KDE3_DCOPIDL2CPP_EXECUTABLE=/opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl2cpp -- KDE3_DCOPIDL_EXECUTABLE=/opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl -- KDE3_DEFINITIONS=-DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE;-D_GNU_SOURCE;-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500;-D_BSD_SOURCE -- KDE3_FOUND=TRUE -- KDE3_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/kde3/include -- KDE3_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/lib/qt3/include;/opt/kde3/include -- KDE3_KCFGC_EXECUTABLE=/opt/kde3/bin/kconfig_compiler -- KDE3_KDECORE_LIBRARY=/opt/kde3/lib64/libkdecore.so -- KDE3_LIBTOOL_DIR=/lib64/kde3 -- KDE3_LIB_DIR=/opt/kde3/lib64 -- KDE3_MODULE_DIR=/usr/share/cmake/Modules -- KDECONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/opt/kde3/bin/kde-config -- PROJECT_BINARY_DIR=/home/david/dev/kde3/tutorial/p1bld -- PROJECT_NAME=p1 -- PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR=/home/david/dev/kde3/tutorial/p1 -- QGLOBAL_H=#define QT_VERSION_STR "3.3.8c" -- QT3_FOUND=TRUE -- QTVERSION_MOC= -- QTVERSION_UIC= -- QT_AND_KDECORE_LIBS=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqassistantclient.a;/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqt-mt.so;/usr/lib64/libX11.so;/usr/lib64/libXext.so;dl;/opt/kde3/lib64/libkdecore.so -- QT_DEFINITIONS=-DQT_SHARED;-DQT_NO_DEBUG;-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT;-D_REENTRANT -- QT_FOUND=TRUE -- QT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib/qt3/include -- QT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqassistantclient.a;/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqt-mt.so;/usr/lib64/libX11.so;/usr/lib64/libXext.so;dl -- QT_MOC_EXE=/usr/lib/qt3/bin/moc -- QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE=/usr/lib/qt3/bin/moc -- QT_MT_REQUIRED=TRUE -- QT_QASSISTANTCLIENT_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqassistantclient.a -- QT_QTMAIN_LIBRARY= -- QT_QT_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64/libqt-mt.so -- QT_UIC_EXE=/usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic -- QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE=/usr/lib/qt3/bin/uic -- QT_VERSION_STRING=3.3.8c -- QT_WRAP_CPP=FALSE -- QT_WRAP_UI=FALSE (2) # cmake -LAH // Path to a program.

Notes to commit 77aed4a4
by Slávek Banko 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Darrell, I have a note to commit 77aed4a4. I'm afraid that used grep is dangerous. For example, my colleague has a login name 's' (yes, only one letter). Such grep would return unwanted results. I propose a change roughly as follows. This will make it possible to omit some grep and also condition. ps -u $USER -o pid= -o comm= | grep -w kdesktop_lock | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -r kill -9 The second note is that this killing can be dangerous. If the machine is configured for multi-user login (multi-seat, xdmcp), the user could have multiple active sessions. Alternatively, user could have running some applications remotely - dcopserver would be active for remote session. -- Slavek

tdepowersave - continually grinding away 3.6%-6% of CPU -- confirm?
by David C. Rankin 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Darrell, Slavek, All, On your R14 install, open a 'top' or 'htop' window and tell me what your 'tdepowersave' use is. By far -- tdepowersave is the top CPU user on my build continually taking more than any other process. This is not right. It is using 2x-3x more CPU than X or kded and is continually at the top of the list. It never stops. What do you see? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
