starttde patch in commit 0ab8ac0a
by Darrell Anderson 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

In commit 0ab8ac0a I pushed a nominal change to the starttde script. The change is intended to force run the r14-xdg-update script even if the kdeglobals key has already been set from a previous run of the r14-xdg-update script. Hopefully this helps users avoid the turmoil I experienced. I presume only GIT users are affected. Any 3.5.13.x users will not have yet run the r14-xdg-update script because they have not updated anything. There might be more rc file changes that need to be added to the r14-xdg-update script. I browsed the respective renaming etherpad, but I don't use every single app or feature and there is no way for me to know all possible changes. The only way is to watch for anomalies and unexpected behavior. Darrell

The proverbial bell can't be unrung. Now everybody plays Keystone Kops. Expect bug reports to increase. Seems we should have learned a lesson or two from the qt-tqt renaming. I pushed more changes to the r14-xdg-update script. The starttde script should be updated to look for a new trigger so users who have already run the script have the script run again to accomodate the latest renaming rampage. Darrell

Latest updates
by Darrell Anderson 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I spent most of yesterday afternoon and today updating my repository and building new packages for the first time since January. Late today I updated my system with those packages. A whole bunch of things blew up. Launch feedback stopped; I was being interrupted continually by kwallet/tdewallet, which I don't use; mimetypes were screwy; kmail wanted passwords; and whatever else I'm not remembering now that I've regained some sanity and composure. I needed about three hours to repair the confusion as well as debug what happened. Good thing I have a good backup strategy. Everything was traceable to the recent renaming rampage. The biggest problems were creating new rc files but not transferring the contents from the old rc files --- or renaming the old rc files, as well as the renaming of khtml->tdehtml and kfile- >tdefile. I pushed patches to update the migratekde3 and r14-xdg-update scripts. Even if you have already run the r14-xdg-update script some time ago, do so again using the 'force' parameter in order to benefit from the latest patch, which will update affected files. Be sure to do this before starting Trinity. There might be additional files affected that I am unaware and were not part of the patch set. Darrell

What is the global floating taskbar and Configure Taskbar menu?
by Darrell Anderson 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

While testing bug report 1399 after building the latest package set, I notice a note at the bottom of the taskbar configuration dialog mentioning the global floating taskbar and to use the Configure Taskbar menu. I have no idea what this floating taskbar is and I cannot find any Configure Taskbar menu item. Bug report 1399 remains open --- toggling the 'Show application Icons' check box has no effect on my system. Darrell

kradio -> tderadio

If the app is being renamed then how about renaming the GIT source parent directory too? Likewise with kdmtheme -> tdmtheme. Darrell

Build failures with latest GIT
by Darrell Anderson 03 Mar '13

I have several packages that will not build, such as k9copy, koffice, kcmautostart. All fail with the same error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no TDE libraries installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! How to fix? Darrell
