Dependency issues
by Michael Henry 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Since none of the Ubuntu isos worked, I tried installing TDE by installing an Lubuntu 12.04 cd. Install worked great, updates worked great, then I followed the instructions here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/UbuntuBinaryInsta… When I tried installing the packages, A LOT of dependency problems came up. Am I missing anything? Installing TDE has never been a pain. I'm converting a Windows user to Linux and I need this computer working. Can someone help? -- Bro.

Default Trinity R14 memory footprint
by Darrell Anderson 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I did this on three different systems, all with different hardware. I started Trinity and accepted all defaults for a fresh profile. I then exited Trinity and rebooted each machine. I logged in (command line), flushed the kernel cache, ran free, started Trinity, opened konsole, flushed the kernel cache, and ran free. The default memory Trinity footprints, which excludes the memory usage before starting Trinity and includes the native video drivers: * 111184 KB * 119536 KB * 134876 KB Notes: I did not disable apps autostarted from $HOME/.config/autostart or disable the native video drivers. Thus the first two results on old hardware are closest to the actual default Trinity R14 footprint. Darrell

>--enable-tde. TDEDIR and friends are the appropriate environment >variables to use. I downloaded the LO sources and walked through the patch stored in 'thirdparty'. As far as I can tell, the patch no longer is needed. Am I correct? Seems all that is needed is --enable-tde and as a precaution, in the build script ensure $TDEDIR, $QTDIR, $QTINC, and $QTLIB are exported to the build environment. Am I correct? There also is a --enable-tdeab option to ensure Trinity addressbook support, but I did not look into that deeply. The option might be enabled by default when --enable-tde is enabled. For a reference point, how long does LO take to compile on your systems? Darrell

[trinity-devel] Kubuntu CD not installing
by Michael Henry 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

I downloaded the Ubuntu 12.04 from http://ftp.fau.de/trinity/cdimages/kubuntu/precise/tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.0… It loads up and runs perfectly. The ubuntu installer refuses to work. I try to run it and it acts like it will and then it stops. Running from the command line is the same with no errors. Any suggestions. -- Bro.

>What LO build script options are needed? Is something like one of >the following needed: > >--enable-kde >--enable-kde3 >--enable-qt >--enable-qt3 >--enable-tqt Also, what environment variables are needed? From what I have found onthe web, KDE4 dialog support needs the following: export KDE4DIR="$KDEDIRS" export QT4INC="$QT4DIR/include" export QT4LIB="$QT4DIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" Do we need something similar? Would LO be looking for "KDE3" environment variables or "Trinity" variables? export KDEDIR="$KDEDIR" export QTINC="$QTDIR/include" export QTLIB="$QTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" OR export TDEDIR="$TDEDIR" export TQTINC="$TQTDIR/include" export TQTLIB="$TQTDIR/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}" Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Opinion of Trinity R14.0.0

>I am fine with both versions.

Perhaps the following version is a little >better: I understand your feelings. :) A goal of a press release is to offer a positive spin and focus on the announced product rather than what other products lack. We want to refrain from KDE bashing. If you browse the dev mail list archives from a while ago, you'll discover that a couple of KDE devs invited themselves into our mail list and started a nasty spitting contest. Got rather heated. Nobody won and one of the KDE devs took to his blog to continue bashing Trinity. He stopped that public campaign when a lot of people posted comments to his blog entry to leave us the hell alone, that the free/libre software philosophy allows and embraces forking. He was reminded that we were not harming anybody. After those public rebuttals he stayed away, but I have not forgotten him or his tirades. I'm not afraid of bashing KDE4, especially the piece of shit known as akonadi, or the obvious relentless fan-boyism that permeates the entire KDE culture. Yet I'd rather we follow the advice of Voltaire's Candide and just "tend our own garden." >------------------------------ >"Recently I discovered Trinity.

Looks fine and thank you. Subject to final review by other team members of course. :) Darrell
