Re: [trinity-devel] tdepowersave - continually grinding away 3.6%-6% of CPU -- confirm?

I don't see high numbers. tdepowersave is at the top of my top list at about 3%. Traditionally kmix and knotification-daemon always have been at the top of top too, at about 2%. I'm sure our tdepowersaverc files are different. Perhaps post your tdepowersaverc. Here is mine: [General] ActionOnS2DiskButton= ActionOnSleepButton= AlreadyStarted=true Autostart=false AutostartNeverAsk=true batteryLow=4 batteryLowAction=SUSPEND2RAM batteryWarning=10 batteryWarningAction=BRIGHTNESS batteryWarningActionValue=10 lockOnSuspend=false [Notification Messages] systemtrayquitTDEPowersave=false [Performance] autoDimm=true autoDimmAfter=4 autoInactiveActionAfter=10 blankSs=false brightnessPercent=60 disableNotifications=false disableSs=false powerOffAfter=8 specPMSettings=false standbyAfter=6 suspendAfter=7 [Powersave] autoDimmAfter=4 autoDimmSchemeBlacklistEnabled=false autoDimmTo=25 autoInactiveAction=Suspend to RAM autoInactiveActionAfter=10 brightnessPercent=60 disableNotifications=false disableSs=true powerOffAfter=7 standbyAfter=5 suspendAfter=6 I don't use the tdepowersave much, even when on battery. Mostly because of bug report 1623. Typically I press Fn+F4 (Thinkpad T400) or close the lid. I'm not a comfortable laptop user anyway. I hate laptop keyboards and trackpads. Right now I use the laptop as my guinea pig with all of the help handbook patching I have been doing. Having the laptop next to me on my desk next to my production system is convenient. I've disabled the trackpad and attached a wired mouse, but I still I hate the keyboard. Generally, laptops suck and I'm amazed at how awful they are designed from a usability perspective yet people use them and then convince themselves they are pigs in mud. :) Darrell

pytdeextensions.desktop
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

All, I pushed a pytdeextensions.desktop file to git. The desktop file supports the respective help handbook so the handbook is available in the main help handbook table of contents, in the Development category. I have no idea how to edit the py scripts so the desktop file is compiled as part of the package and is installed to /opt/trinity/share/applications/tde. For the moment all I can do is manipulate my build script to manually add the file. Help appreciated. BTW, seems the pytdeextensions module is in need of renaming attention. Darrell

Sorry! Yes, the script works well. Hopefully Tim adopts the new script. An hourly cron job should do nicely and the script completes in about 15 to 20 seconds on my dual core machine. Darrell

Need artwork
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

All, We could use at least one new TDM face image. Currently there are three default images, cleverly named default1.png, default2.png, and default3.png. None of them are female. Images 1 and 3 probably could be considered unisex, but default2 needs a female counterpart. In the git sources the files are stored at tdebase/tdm/kfrontend/pics/. The files are installed to /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/pics/users/. Remove the tie and perhaps add pig tails and we're probably good to go for a counterpart to default2. If you tweak default1 and 3 into something more female then that would be nice too. Thanks again. :) Darrell

How about your script for the html page? I'd like to test that too. :) Darrell

For myself I was not thinking of another html page. I was thinking more of just viewing similar output as the commit page but directly in the terminal window as stdout. Darrell

I just want to see something that we can use locally. The web page is great for visitors and community members. But those of us on the development team should have a way of creating the same list locally. I'll be happy to test anything like that. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] tdenetworkmanager crash on TDE start.

(flag it >for R15) tdenetworkmanager is an app and not a service. That said, bug report 1613 addresses the issue of no GUI method to control autostart. I tested moving my tdenetworkmanagerrc file. tdenetworkmanager started but no rc file was created initially. When I terminated tdenetworkmanager from the popup menu and responded to the dialog not to ask me again, then the rc file created. Seems then the rc file normally is not created. Darrell
