svg - artifact issue
by David C. Rankin 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

All, After tweaking the go.svg file a couple of days ago Darrell mentioned that when rendered in TDE, the svg file showed artifacts which I couldn't explain as the original inkscape file looked fine. Long story short, I was using konqueror file manager on a suse box (3.5.10 on opensuse 11.4) and I noticed black artifacts in an svg file preview. Here is a screenshot of the actual svg file in inkscape: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/svg-artifact-error-2.jpg Here is the preview in konqueror (3.5.10) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/svg-artifact-error-1.jpg The svg file had a black fill on the rectangle below the image, so I changed it to white to see if that made any difference on the artifact -- it didn't. Here is a link to the svg file itself: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/firstTest.svg So, it looks like there is something that KDE did not handle correctly in svg preview that now shows up in TDE as well. I have no clue where to go with this, but I would like to start with asking "Has anyone else seen this type of artifact with svg files?" Then "does anybody have any experience working with svg file rendering in KDE/TDE who would know what part of the code is responsible for generating the svg previews?" What say the graphic file format wizards on the list? What is going on in these images? Is it a svg format change causing problems with old rendering code or what? Obviously this isn't a blocker type issue, but right now, I don't know enough about it to author an intelligent bug report... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Getting a stacktrace from systemsettings with the Ubuntu packages
by Julius Schwartzenberg 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

With the nightly packages, systemsettings crashes here. I can't seem to generate a proper stack trace however. Is there a -dbg package I can install to let it create a proper stack trace? Best regards, Julius

Latest R14 XDG updates
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

The latest starttde update and new r14-xdg-update script were pushed to GIT in hashes 6ebf92cb and 5464fc6f. All changes revolve around R14 XDG compliance updates. I figured pushing to GIT was easier for folks to test rather than post as attachments to a bug report. I moved the R14 XDG compliance updates to a new script named r14-xdg-update. In the GIT sources the new script is added to tdebase/r14-xdg-update and is installed to $PREFIX/bin, just like starttde. The new script can be run stand-alone. starttde now calls this new script rather than perform the updates directly. I updated the migratekde3 profile migration shell script in bug report 709 and pushed in GIT hash 6ebf92cb. In the GIT sources the migratekde3 script is added to tdebase/migratekde3 and is installed to $PREFIX/bin, just like starttde. This script is a stand-alone script and is not run anywhere automatically. Compared to the initial XDG update snippets in starttde, the new r14-xdg-update script performs the following: * Error checking against sym linked profile directories (a corner case but needed). * Usage of a verbose X message box to warn about a sym linked profile directory, why an R14 XDG compliance update will not occur, what fails to function properly because of that missing update, and possible remedies available for the user. * When run directly from the command line, r14-xdg-update asks the user to automatically break the sym link, and then will ask whether to migrate a KDE3 profile. * Nominal validation tests that the XDG updates succeeded. When failures are detected then an X message box appears for each type of failure, thereby informing the user specifically what needs repair. * Supporting a command line parameter named "force" that allows users/administrators to run the r14-xdg-update script even when the kdeglobals Updated key value is set to true. * Fixed a few bugs found along the way. * If all goes well, then the user sees nothing and everything should just work. I have been testing all afternoon. :-) Everything is more robust, but I won't pretend I anticipated all usage methods or corner cases or that I found all bugs or did not introduce new bugs. I have not yet added anything related to test the XDG updating against administratively locked files and directories. I am open to suggestions. I need to review the specifications of what can be locked in a Trinity profile and how that likely affects the XDG updates. There are some "TODO" notes in the new r14-xdg-update script. Please help with testing and to improve the scripts! Darrell

Man pages for Trinity
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Most/all of the command line executables in Trinity have no man pages. Seems some people have provided man pages, such as the Ubuntu people. Are there any licensing or ethical objections to us grabbing such man pages for Trinity? Darrell

kwriteconfig: how to delete a key or group

How is this done with kwriteconfig? If not possible, then how does a user programmatically delete a configuration file key or group? Darrell

by Darrell Anderson 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Bug report 872 is resolved. All tdesdk components now build without error when building with cmake. Building with automake should no longer be required. Please update build scripts and test! :-) Darrell

More image branding help (please)
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

The splash images for digikam and showFoto need updating from KDE -> TDE, at the bottom of each image: GIT locations: applications/digikam/digikam/data/pics/digikam-splash.png applications/digikam/digikam/showfoto/pics/showfoto-splash.png Possibly each respective xcf file too, but I can't open them here with anything. Thank you again! Darrell

Tim: pytdeextensions FTBFS on 64-bit
by Darrell Anderson 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Tim, I traced the build failure to a Debian patch from Debian bug report 357775. The specific patch is 11_fix_get_libdir_name.diff, which can be viewed here, about midpoint in the page: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-kde-commits/2006-June/003702.h… I reversed the patch and then was able to build on 64-bit. Ignoring obvious file size differences, my 64-bit package looks exactly the same as my 32-bit package. In my patch I added some informational text to help debugging because the specific build failure message appears in three different locations. Here is my proposed patch: =========================================================== diff -urN pytdeextensions/setup.py pytdeextensions.new/setup.py --- pytdeextensions/setup.py 2012-05-27 17:59:26.000000000 -0500 +++ pytdeextensions.new/setup.py 2012-06-13 20:12:18.000000000 -0500 @@ -135,7 +135,7 @@ if self.clib!=None: self.clib = glob.glob(os.path.join(self.clib,'libgcc*.a'))[0] if self.clib is None: - raise SystemExit, "Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" + raise SystemExit, "setup.py: Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" self.announce("Using %s for clib" % self.clib) # Make a list of places to look for python .so modules diff -urN pytdeextensions/src/kdedistutils.py pytdeextensions.new/src/kdedistutils.py --- pytdeextensions/src/kdedistutils.py 2012-06-13 11:01:28.000000000 -0500 +++ pytdeextensions.new/src/kdedistutils.py 2012-06-13 20:17:43.000000000 -0500 @@ -660,7 +660,7 @@ if self.clib!=None: self.clib = glob.glob(os.path.join(self.clib,'libgcc*.a'))[0] if self.clib is None: - raise SystemExit, "Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" + raise SystemExit, "kdedistutils.py (1): Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" self.announce("Using %s for clib" % self.clib) # Make a list of places to look for python .so modules @@ -1591,7 +1591,7 @@ if self.clib!=None: self.clib = glob.glob(os.path.join(self.clib,'libgcc*.a'))[0] if self.clib is None: - raise SystemExit, "Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" + raise SystemExit, "kdedistutils.py (2): Failed to find a suitable libgcc library" self.announce("Using %s for clib" % self.clib) # Make a list of places to look for python .so modules @@ -2229,7 +2229,7 @@ ########################################################################### def get_libdir_name(): - #if os.uname()[4] in ['x86_64','mips64','ppc64','sparc64','s390x']: - # return 'lib64' - #else: + if os.uname()[4] in ['x86_64','mips64','ppc64','sparc64','s390x']: + return 'lib64' + else: return 'lib' =========================================================== Do you want me to push this patch to GIT or do you want to first run a Debian/Ubuntu test build?
