Tim: Collation of TSAK/TDM related issues
by Darrell Anderson 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Collation of TSAK/TDM related issues (there are overlaps in descriptions but that does not mean the same exact problem): Bug reports involved: 928, kdm starts too early 925, [kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use 906, SAK realization is mostly buggy for KDM 898, tsak process taking 90-100% of CPU 894, TDM: Log file is never purged 884, tdmctl: Cannot connect socket '/var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:0/socket' 667, kdm spawns kwin as root, keeps running after login 625, KDM is hard-coded to use /tmp rather than $TMP or $TMPDIR ================================================== Direct TSAK issues: * TSAK demands 90-100% CPU. * High CPU consumption on wait SAK. * TSAK/TDM performs no housekeeping to remove pipe/socket files: 1) During a reboot/halt (when TDM terminates) 2) X server restart (which TDM allows) 3) When a user disables TSAK in KControl (tdmrc:UseSAK=false) * Restarting X server or TSAK ignores the tdmrc:UseSAK=false, using the existing pipe/socket files instead and keeps running even when explicitly disabled in tdmrc. * When building tdebase without TSAK support (-DBUILD_TSAK=OFF), and tdmrc:UseSAK=false, TDM starts with the dialog to press Ctrl-Alt-Del. That should not happen. * Disabling TSAK in tdmrc (UseSAK=false) does not work. * Exit from wait dialog by Ctrl+Alt+Del does not work. * Some people cannot obtain access to the TDM login dialog when pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del. * TSAK ownership of /tmp/tdesocket-global is assigned to the system's primary login account. Ownership of that directory is determined by the account UID listed in the tdmrc MinShowUID key and then that account number is grabbed from /etc/passwd. * xsession message of "[kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use (retcode %d)" appears although TDM is not running when using startx. ================================================== Related to TDM and TSAK: * When starting X from startx (TDM is not running) the message "tdmctl: Cannot connect socket '/var/run/xdmctl/dmctl-:0/socket'" appears. There should be no tdmctl/TSAK related messages when using startx. * Both calls to tdmctl in tdmtsak use the format "tdmctl list" yet there is no "list" option in tdmctl --help. What is the "list" parameter supposed to do? * TDM creates nominal profile directories in /tmp. All such directories use a numeric name string. TDM runs as non-user, but should not be creating any profile directories. Not needed and the profile directories are never purged. Never happened in KDE3. ================================================== TDM specific: * TDM starts too early * TDM log files never purged. * TDM spawns twin as root, keeps running after login I hope this helps. :) Darrell

knemo - patch to change default backend from 'Nettools' to 'Sys'
by David C. Rankin 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

All, I'm trying to patch knemo to initialize with the Sys backend (as default) for the package. You have the option to set Nettools or Sys (kernel) providing network information to the monitor. Sys is much more efficient than Nettools, but only works for kernels >= 2.6 (which is everybody now). I wouldn't care or go to the effort is the Nettools backend still worked, but as of the Linux 3.0/3.1 kernels, (as well as later 2.6.X kernels) Nettools doesn't seem to work forcing the user to find and set the obscure setting to Sys before the module will work at all. I propose we make 'Sys' the default backend in TDE. Hunting and picking through the code, I have found where the default values are set for the backend as well as the colors for the plotter graph. There were a couple of structs and constructors involved depending on how knemo was launched. I have created a patch that does both (1) set the default backend to sys and (2) change the graph colors a bit so it is readable regardless of whether there is a dark/light background shown. Here is the patch, look it over, engage in discourse and if the yays are greater than the nays --> push it :) (works with gcc47 too :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

tdegraphics/ksnapshot - not brining window to front before screenshot (gcc47 ??)
by David C. Rankin 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

All, I don't know if this is a focus problem, or a problem with ksnapshot itself. But with ksnapshot configured to capture 'window under cursor' with no delay, if the window is not the top window, ksnapshot will capture any overlying window within the geometry of the window you are trying to capture. I've opened a normal bug for it: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=966 I don't know if this is gcc47, a bug in the desktop when focus set to 'follow mouse' or what. I have never seen this behavior before. Here are a couple of screenshots: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/ksnapshot-win-under-cursor-bug.… http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/ksnapshot-win-under-cursor-bug2… Also, if you notice, the right side of the window is not captured correctly either. (possible libpng15 issue??) Thoughts? tdegraphics build is: cmake ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-} \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-fpermissive" \ -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${TDEDIR} \ -DWITH_T1LIB=ON \ -DWITH_LIBPAPER=ON \ -DWITH_TIFF=ON \ -DWITH_OPENEXR=ON \ -DWITH_PDF=ON \ -DBUILD_ALL=ON (no patches) Thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

konsole "Prompt Tip" incorrect (with patch - review and push)
by David C. Rankin 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Darrell, Here is a simple one for you. The 'tips' in konsole tips to set the prompt incorrectly uses a 'close' instead of 'open' bracket following the 'e' and incorrectly uses a ';' and omits the 'm' to terminate resetting the prompt background and bold state. The tips contain 3 similar references in the form: export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;\H:\w\a\]" This is wrong. It should be: export PS1=$PS1"\[\e[0m\H:\w\a\]" Note the second bracket is backwards... should be PS1=$PS1"\[\e[ ^ Further, to properly reset the background and bold state of the prompt (and to terminate non-printing characters) so that BASH can properly calculate prompt length and spacing, you must use '\[\e0m' not \[\e]0; (note the semicolon) The semicolon is used to separate the foreground/background colors not terminate the reset... You can see the differences when you look at the bad/good prompts stacked above/below each other: export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]0;\H:\w\a\]" export PS1=$PS1"\[\e[0m\H:\w\a\]" I've included a patch that fixes the existing 3 prompt tips and I have included 2 additional prompt tips as well. Review, signoff and push. If you don't want the additional 2 tips, just trim them from the patch. (I always like additional tips :) (no I won't explain how I found this :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

New tqca package added to the source tree
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

I added tqca to the source tree. This module is from the original qca-1.0 sources with the TQt layer added. Adding the sources resolves bug report 817. Building the package is much the same as with the original qca-1.0 package. The core of the configuration: export PREFIX=/usr export LIBDIR=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ ./configure \ --prefix=${PREFIX} \ --qtdir=$QTDIR make $NUMJOBS VERBOSE=1 || exit 1 make install INSTALL_ROOT=$PKG || exit 1 /usr/doc files: COPYING INSTALL README TODO I install TQt3 to /opt/trinity. I install both tqca and tqca-tls to /usr rather than /opt/trinity, but I don't think the installation location is critical. I am building the package just before building tqca-tls. I have no clue how to test the package after installation. Then again, I have no idea how to test tqca-tls either. The tqca package requires about 5 seconds to build. Thus, troubleshooting should be a snap. For once. :) Darrell

Release plan for R13.1
by Slávek Banko 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Hi all. At the meeting we discussed that would be a good release official update for 3.5.13 soon. In connection with the fact that 1 May it be just half a year since the release of 3.5.13, it occurred to me that it could be a nice term for the release official updates. Therefore I would like to discuss with you: __1__ Is this term too soon? Can it be manageable? Which patches to wait? Already have poised: + patch to close #372 + other patches from #675 + workaround for #922 + waiting for a patch for #258 + considering revert patch for #394 I would like (but want to wait?) + fix SAK. Does anyone work on it? Or temporarily turn it off? + find a solution for #812 + find a solution for #744, #615 __2__ Giving an update the new version number? Apply here mentioned a few times R13.1 (or R13.1.0)? They should be in this case, the patches in their own branch in GIT? Change the version number in the names of all packages (some are otherwise unchanged)? Or just change the version number within kdelibs and file names leave them unchanged? Or simply release already prepared packages without changing the version number? What do you think? I look forward to your comments Slávek --

List of build issues
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

This is my list of build issues. This is not a comprehensive project list. For example, I have not yet had to tackle gcc 4.7 issues. There is a pattern to these bugs. I suspect once one bug is resolved, then similar bugs follow. Blocker: 948 rosegarden: FTBFS when liblo is not installed 946 kstreamripper FTBFS 920 avahi-tqt FTBFS 872 tdesdk FTBFS Against TQt3 871 tdeadmin FTBFS Against TQt3 817 tqca: No tqca package exists for the new tqt3 790 kdemultimedia: audiofile.h configure errors 788 Kdemultimedia: Kaudiocreator won't build unless configure finds the cdda headers 597 tdebindings will not build without numerous patches Critical: 942 k3b: Can't find the TQt version of the dbus-1.0 headers (install dbus-tqt to /usr) 913 Kerberos support does not exist with any cmake converted package 873 gwenview will not build libmng support 598 tdenetwork will not build on Slackware with wifi support Major: 945 kpilot FTBFS: Can't find tqt headers 943 kmplayer: Can't find the TQt version of the dbus-1.0 headers (install dbus-tqt to /usr) 877 tdeutils: X11/extensions/extutil.h: present but cannot be compiled 818 amarok: Several build options missing with the cmake conversion Normal: 950 rosegarden: Sym Links Incorrect 940 kile: Sym Links Incorrect 939 knights: Sym Links Incorrect 933 krusader: Sym Links Incorrect 932 tellico: Sym Links Incorrect 931 kmplayer: Sym Links Incorrect 930 kdiff3: Sym Links Incorrect 627 kspell Sym Link Incorrect 626 konversation Sym Links Incorrect 613 kipi-plugins Sym Links Incorrect 347 amarok Sym Links Incorrect Minor: 947 kbarcode: unknown icon type 937 kradio: unknown icon type 935 krename: unknown icon type 934 krusader: unknown icon type 807 tdeaddons: unknown icon type 806 kipi-plugins: unknown icon type 805 tdeutils: unknown icon type 804 gwenview: unknown icon type 719 koffice: unknown icon types Darrell

TQt Rationale
by Timothy Pearson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

All, I have written a brief draft document with some of the rationale behind the TQt interface layer and the TQt conversion on the Wiki here: http://trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/TQTRationale Thank you to all who have (gently) reminded many times to get some kind of rationale written up. The current document is not complete, and I welcome questions and corrections on the provided Etherpad so that I may address all concerns from the developers here on this matter. If this works out, and I think it will, we will have features that no other KDE 3.5.10 fork can ever attain. Please keep this in mind before ripping into the implementation details; I took a significant risk in doing this and I am already seeing benefits in the existence of a viable TDE Qt4 theme engine alone--who knows what will happen now that Webkit and other libraries are suddenly available for use in TDE!

Bug tracker update
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

I updated the bug tracker. Anything related to building/compiling is now marked with the prefix 'Build issue: '. I modified the priority of a few. Most build issues are now tagged with Blocker, Critical, or Major, although there are other build issues rated lower. Possibly I missed a few. Please check your own reports and add the 'Build issue: ' prefix as necessary. With these updates, we now know which bug reports are build issues. Just search for 'Build issue: '. No need for an etherpad. :) A check box would be nice. Does bugzilla support that? http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?qui… How many? 72 reports of build issues. Yet remember that many reports are similar --- resolve one report and resolve several. Not necessarily related to build issues, there are 30 bug reports with attached patches. If we seek a way to triage the bug tracker, I recommend first focusing on Blocker reports, then Critical, then Major, etc., but within each priority, first address those with patches. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/bugzilla/buglis… I will push patches to GIT but often I need technical review and approval. Sometimes one person is sufficient but other times more when I believe a "root cause analysis" is required, such as reverting patches. As project leader, Tim is an exception and when he says push I'll push. Tim, Unless I can do this on my own, would you please add my email address to the bug tracker notification list? That way I'll know about new bug reports and can quickly tag any new report as a build issue if needed. I then can post to this list any such new reports. Darrell
