Some strange headers are installed with qt.
by Fat-Zer 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Next strange headers are installed to my system with git version of qt: btree.h crc32.h debian_qsql_odbc.h deflate.h ftglue.h ftxgdef.h ftxgpos.h ftxgsub.h ftxopenf.h ftxopen.h hash.h inffast.h inffixed.h inflate.h inftrees.h jri.h jri_md.h jritypes.h moc_yacc.h npapi.h npupp.h opcodes.h os.h otlbuffer.h pager.h parse.h pngasmrd.h pngconf.h Also all private headers are installed to include dir as well as to include/private. This is a BUG? Or they are used by something? At least hash.h breaks compilation of kopete with jabber protocol. My configuration string: ./configure -sm -thread -stl -system-libjpeg -verbose -largefile -qt-imgfmt-jpeg -qt-imgfmt-mng -qt-imgfmt-png -tablet -system-libmng -system-libpng -xft -platform linux-g++ -xplatform linux-g++ -xrender -prefix /usr/qt/3 -libdir /usr/qt/3/lib64 -fast -no-sql-odbc -L/usr/lib64 -no-nis -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-psql -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-sqlite -no-cups -disable-opengl -release -no-g++-exceptions -no-xinerama -system-zlib -qt-gif -ipv6 -dlopen-opengl

Old bugs in bug tracker
by Darrell Anderson 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

There are 80 open items in the bug tracker written against KDE 3.5.10 or Trinity 3.5.11: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&b… How about we evaluate those items? Either update to R14 (still valid) or close as resolved - won't fix/invalid/etc.? Darrell

Package naming
by Slávek Banko 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hi all, One of the points for discussion in R14 Road Map is the question about naming packages. I suppose it is beyond dispute that in the name of packages should be 'trinity' (or perhaps 'tde'?). Other issues for decision I would see the following: 1. 'trinity' before name or after? Or leave it distribution specific? 2. How to mark development version of packages? What about 14.0.0~preXXX? For example: + amarok-trinity_14.0.0~pre148.orig.tar.xz amarok-trinity_14.0.0~pre148-0debian11+pr16~squeeze... + amarok-trinity-14.0.0~pre148-i486-13.1_1.txz Note0: Because the Debian / Ubuntu version number must begin with a digit, it is impossible packages with the version number beginning with the letter 'R'. Therefore, such a question was unnecessary. Note1: I am aware that it is not currently possible to change the version numbers of packages in nightly-builds. But I want to have arranged rules to marking package versions before beta / RC versions, and before moving nightly-builds to target version 14.1.0. Slavek --

Tim: Recent patches
by Darrell Anderson 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Tim, I notice in recent patches that you updated at least the following: QListViewItem -> TQListViewItem QObject -> TQObject QString -> TQString QListBoxItem -> TQListBoxItem QWidget -> TQWidget A quick grep of the GIT tree indicates such changes are needed in many places. I notice in the patches you commited that many of the corrections affect signals/slots. I wonder how many bugs in the tracker might be affected by these changes. I realize a global search-and-replace won't work and careful replacements are required. :) Nonetheless, should we start updating other modules with these same changes? Darrell

Date bug in kmail?
by Darrell Anderson 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

When viewing an email there is a blue box in the top right corner of the window. On my system the date is offset ahead by one hour. The likely explanation is kmail has not been updated to the newer DST period. (Why would kmail use an internal calendar rather than a system calender?) Only people affected by the DST nonsense are likely to see this bug. Would somebody please confirm? Darrell

Konqueror opens slowly
by Darrell Anderson 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

I'm using the latest GIT. I haven't done any deep digging but there is no doubt that Konqueror is opening much slower than I am accustomed. Any request to open Konqueror takes two or more seconds. This is a dual core system with 8GB RAM and SATA II disks. I have not seen this problem before. Only recently. I have an instance preloaded and always have had that option enabled, but what I see indicates this is not happening. Could there have been a patch in the past few weeks that is affecting preloading? I checked Konqueror in a virtual machine using a GIT package set that hasn't been updated in a couple of months. There, Konqueror opened right away, thereby confirming my observations in my normal system. A fresh profile makes no difference. Anybody else noticing this? Darrell

Any GNOME users?
by Darrell Anderson 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

I filed enhancement request 1324 to add a mouse double-click test area (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1324). If you read the request you'll find a link to a screen shot of such a feature in GNOME: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/guides/mouse_easier/doubleclick/linux/gn… If you are familiar with GNOME perhaps you could help track the code for that dialog and provide some links here or in the bug report. Thank you! Darrell

Experiences installing TDE - some comments for TDE improvements
by Alexis PM 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Hello In order to help improve TDE, I want to tell my experiences with TDE starting from a clean install of Debian Squeeze minimal (within X) from the viewpoint of a Spanish desktop user. The problems, pitfalls or things I've found are improving (I report all as bugs in the bug tracker to be systematic): 1. Trinity Webpage could be translated into several languages without much problem, I think there are collaborators with enough time and desire to make it viable. A call to collaborators through the mailing list to create working groups could be. I offer to help as Spanish-spoken. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1220 2. Debian installation intructions improvements: * Refers to "sudo", but Debian as a "su" distro by default, like most distros. If you're a newbie and follow to the letter the instructions, the lines with "sudo" not work * Lack reference to the translation packages, example "For Spanish translate, apt-get install kde-trinity-i18n-es" * For laptops, kpowersave-trinity is essential, it shoul be indicate in the intructions as "if you have a laptop..." or similar. * A graphical network manager as network-manager-kde-trinity is very util, it shoul be indicate in the intructions as "if you want to have a graphical network manager and you are not using a other as wicd, you..." or similar. May notice about network-manager versions incompatible with network-manager-kde-trinity. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221 3. Applications of interest: * Kmix should be in the System Tray. I don't report, I think is reported in http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=503 * IMHO k3b-trinity and kima-trinity should be in the default TDE installation, are useful for the general public. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1222 4. Kpersonalizer: * Keramic theme is broken, not see the title bar of the windows or close/maximize /minimize buttons. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1223 * Kpersonalizer is partially in English despite having chosen Spanish. I can help with it. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225 * Keyboard in English despite having chosen Spanish in Kpersonalizer. I have to do KControl > Keyboard Layout > Enable keyboard layout & Show indicator for single layout. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1224 5. Parts of the system are in English, lack of a complete Spanish translations. For example, "Hibernate computer" and "Suspend computer" in the "End session" window. I can help with it. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225 6. KDM problems: * KDM don't draw well the background, artifacts can be seen. I think I solved it with KControl > System admin > Login manager > Apparance > Compositor: Trinity compositor. If choosing Trinity Compositor solve the problem, the package should be reconfigured to do it by default. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1226 * "Finish actual session" in "End session" window dialog don't work, just a black screen appears instead of KDM. Doing Ctrl-Alt-F1 & Ctrl-Alt-F6, the KDM window is visible very briefly. I read something similar, related with graphic card (this is a Nvidia, and use the nouveau driver), I don't know. Related: In Exe GNU/Linux, a Debian live CD distro with TDE as desktop environment: * In a live session, if you choose "Change session" in the TDE exit dialog, you find a KDM login window answer you about user name and password - could be auto-restart the TDE desktop * In a HD-installation session, the KDM login window option "Reboot" don't work, the system stays in terminal login (you can insert your user name and password, and the system remains in terminal modex", you can use "startx" :P ) http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227 Possible related with http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59 and http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419 7. Sudo problems: In a recent mail ( "Clean TDE of Kubuntu references", http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::9879 ) I did a review of the problems derivated of the Ubuntu reminiscences dragged by TDE project, as sudo-dependence of TDE nonexistent in the KDE 3.5 original. A set of new sudo-related bugs: * Konsole as SuperUser: T > System > SuperUser > Konsole: a Konsole window appears ask for "[sudo] password for [user]" - it is a Debian (no-sudo) system, therefore neither user password (user is not in /etc/sudoers) neither root password (demand sudo) work. Konqueror as root in the "T > System > SuperUser" dialog works well. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228 * In T > System, other applications as KPackage open, but for a action ask for "SUDO password", and again neither user password neither root password work. But KUser in T > System work well with root password. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1229 * I installed Synaptic. But Synaptic in T > System don't work to enter the root password. Synaptic via "Run command" answer "KDEInit could not launch 'su-to-root': could not find 'su-to-root' executable". However, "kdesu synaptic" works well. http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230 8. I suggest the following changes in file associations (in Konqueror: Preferences > Configure Konqueror) * Kwrite instead of Kate for plain-text files - I think Kwrite is simpler * Iceweasel instead of Konqueror for HTML files http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231 Thanks!
