Bug 1290 - Kpowersave 100% cpu
by Calvin Morrison 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hey all, Can anyone pitch in ideas for dealing with bug 1290? Hal is badly outdated and kpowersave is acting up, so debugging it could be very tricky, We also have kpowersave-nohal ready for R14... what should we do? Calvin

Workaround for bad Qt4 performance
by Sanne 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi all, I was listening in on the last irc meeting and caught an aftermeeting mentioning about bad Qt4 performance. I offered an article and a possible workaround I found recently, in case people are not aware of it, and was asked to bring it to attention to other developers also, so here goes: I'm suffering bad graphical performance in Qt4 and PyQt4 applications and searched for solutions. I found a post on nokia.com [1] that mentions a command line switch that might help. In short: adding "-graphicssystem raster" to my Qt4 applications' command line improved performance drastically for me. There's also a method to set it programmatically, and an environment variable [2]. [1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2008/10/22/so-long-and-thanks-for-the-blit/ [2] http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qapplication.html#setGraphicsSystem Thanks and much regards, Sanne

Spreading the window sizes while screens changes
by Slávek Banko 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

In relation with the recently reported bug #1378 http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1378 got my attention thing prepared for KDE4: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/KDE-display-management-to-get-a-boos… Often I see spreading window sizes when turn on / off secondary screen or switching from internal laptop screen to external and back. Another problem is that after restoring a maximized window may be restored onto already unavailable screen. When turn on the second screen will also become invisible in the taskbar windows that were open in single-screen mode. Note: I know, I need to add information about these issues to bug message.

R14.0.0
by Timothy Pearson 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

All, I am now officially back from my holiday vacation away from TDE. I would like to get R14.0.0 squared away and out the door in the next few months if possible; thoughts on the current status of the nightly builds are welcome. I know quite a few bugs remain, however many critical bugs have been repaired and I don't want to hold those fixes (which cannot be ported to the 3.5.13.x series) back much longer. How does a tentative release date of April 15, 2013 sound? This means that the remaining blocker bugs need to be resolved by February 2013 in order to get the R14 release candidate into the hands of our QA team with sufficient time for them to find and resolve quality problems before release. A tentative final source release date would be March 15; this would allow 2 weeks for the binary build maintainers to update their packages before release, and a week or two for the mirrors to sync with the new packages. For me the biggest blocker bug remaining is the XDG icon naming issue (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1313), as this causes a very bad (inconsistent) user experience with most non-TDE software packages. I will be working hard to resolve that issue; if each developer here could find a large blocker bug and work on fixing it over the next few weeks that would be great! Tim

Topics that are of interest to the users and developers of all desktop environments are especially welcome. The FOSDEM 2012 schedule might give you some inspiration: https://archive.fosdem.org/2012/schedule/track/crossdesktop_devroom.html <https://archive.fosdem.org/2012/schedule/track/crossdesktop_devroom.html> Please include the following information when submitting a proposal: - Your name - The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be listed with around 250 from other projects) - Short abstract of one or two paragraphs - Short bio - Requested time: from 15 to 45 minutes.

building python-tqt
by Michele Calgaro 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Sorry to bother you again today :) I am trying to build python-tqt from GIT (after I built sip4-tqt and tqscintilla. Btw, somebody with the required access could edit the "How to build guide" section 7 "Build order" and move "tqscintilla" before "python-tqt" since the former is a requirement for the latter). I have this situation: 1) if I use sip 4.10.5 (the one from sip4-tqt package) the correct sip.h file is installed in /usr/include/python2.X. Nevertheless configuration fails as follow: sip: /home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip/qt/qtmod.sip:23: syntax error at configure.py:927 os.system(string.join(argv)), where this command get invoked: /usr/bin/sip" -x TQt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP -x TQt_STYLE_INTERLACE -x TQt_STYLE_WINDOWSXP -x TQt_SIP_PRE_4_7_2 -x VendorID -t WS_X11 -t TQt_3_3_6 -j 10 -c qt -b qt/qt.sbf -I/home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip /home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/python-tqt/sip/qt/qtmod.sip For reference, the failing line in qtmod.sip is: %Module qt 2 PS: I am no SIP expert at all :( 2) instead if I use sip 4.13.3-2 that comes with debian/testing (and which should not be used according to the How to Build giude) the configuration is able to complete correctly (beside a never ending list of deprecated warnings) but then the building fails since the incorrect sip.h file (and libraries) is installed qobject.sip:2199:9: error: ‘pyqt3TQtSignal’ was not declared in this scope So I wonder how you manage to build python-tqt. What am I missing? Have a nice weekend :) Michele

sip4-tqt FTBFS (debian/testing). Quit patch.
by Michele Calgaro 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi there, sip4-tqt FTBFS on my computer (debian/testing). I used the most recent GIT sources for both TDE and TDE-packaging (2012/12/14). The problem is in compiling the sipgen module, when the sip.h file is not found. >> gcc -c -O2 -g -I/usr/include/tqt -I/usr/include/tqt3 -I/usr/include/qt3 -w -DNDEBUG -I. -o parser.o parser.c >> /home/tde_src/2_build/build/dependencies/sip4-tqt/sipgen/parser.y:24:17: fatal error: sip.h: No such file or directory The patch adds the module source folder to the include path when generating the makefiles. ------------------- In the GIT repo, there is a file siputils.py.orig in the dependencies/sip4-tqt folder. I guess this is a left over from a previous change and it could be removed. ------------------- On a side note, what's the standard procedure followed by the TDE team members for submitting bug fixes/improvements? Should we post patches to this ML or is there another way? Or should we just commit that to the GIT repo? Cheers Michele

Temporary Absence
by Timothy Pearson 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

All, I am taking some time off of TDE to spend more time with family and friends over the holiday season, and therefore will probably not be available on the TDE mailing lists for the next couple of weeks or so. In other words, don't be alarmed if I don't respond to queries; I will be back on these lists shortly after Christmas! :-) If a service stops functioning properly during my absence I can still be reached via Email, though my response time may be somewhat delayed. Merry Christmas to all, especially the many dedicated contributors that make this project possible. Here's to a bright and shining future for TDE in 2013 and beyond!
