Re: [trinity-devel] Preparing update kdebase for the 3.5.13
by Kristopher Gamrat 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi, The update seems to have broke KM somehow. It loaded normally when I turned on my laptop, but when I tried to log in, the user/password box disappeared for a moment, the screen flickered, and it was asking for my user and password. I tried several more times, and even typed the wrong password on purpose. It seems to pick up on the wrong password okay (displays the login failed message), but if the password is correct, it exhibits the behavior I described. I had to kill kdm/Xorg, login via CLI, then run startx to get into TDE. Everything else seems fine, it's just kdm that seems to be affected. -- Kristopher Gamrat

Top-half of tdm shutdown confirmation dialog MIA?
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Tim, All, Shutting down to kill the tsak issue, I noticed the top-half of the 'tdm' shutdown confirmation dialog is missing: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tdm-shutdown-conf.jpg Anybody know where this dialog lives in the code? It looks like this is probably a kdm/tdm issue where the code is still looking for a graphic in (or named) 'k_something..' -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

What is 'tsak' and why is it eating 90-100% of my CPU?
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Tim, All, I know there were a few tweaks involving tsak to fix the tdm.log explosion problem. After leaving TDE running overnight, I noticed the fans on my laptop pegged on. Huh? Checking top, tsak was eating 90-100% of my CPU. What is tsak? Why is it pegging the CPU? Here is a screenshot of top showing the cpu use: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/tsak-hog.jpg Want me to file a bug or you want to look at it first? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Raising funds for TDE
by Darrell Anderson 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Anybody with experience running a fund raising drive? I'd like us to raise $500 --- or more so Tim can update server hardware. 50 people x $10 and we're done. I'll put up $50. Darrell

TDE Menu
by Darrell Anderson 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Is there an easy method to configure the TDE Menu not to show KDE3 or KDE apps? That is, without using the menu editor, which would be clunky for such massive menu changes. Darrell

sftp - still BORKED - in GIT?? kioslave ever fixed?
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

All, This has been a big issue in kde3/trinity for a couple of years now. sftp is broken in konqueror. IIRC, this is due to the sftp kioslave. I know we have raised and discussed this issue numerous time and as of 3/23/11, the plan was a complete re-write of the kioslave from scratch. (discussion on opensuse/kde3 list with Robert, Ilya and Serghei) Does anybody have a quick status on this issue? Basic Synopsis: In konqueror if you try: sftp://hostname/dir you get the error: An error occurred while loading sftp://nirvana.3111skyline.com Unknown error Error encountered while talking to ssh. However, if I open konsole and issue sftp from the command line - no problem: 20:28 valkyrie:~> sftp nirvana Connected to nirvana. sftp> Here is a screenshot of the konqueror error: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/sftp-error.jpg If this is still broken, then I think it needs to be listed as a blocker for R14. sftp is a incredibly secure and useful protocol that konqueror handled flawlessly in the past. Should be working again. The curious part is that fish continues to work. (i.e.: fish://nirvana/home/david works just fine...) What say the gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

arch - shutdown dialog icon changed
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Cal, Pawel, Baho, I have never liked the shutdown dialog icon that was applied by the patch in the build script. I have substituted one with a bit more shine: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/arch-kdeshutdown.png -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

tdelibs/dcop/dcopidl2cpp/main.cpp:44: error: 'qVersion' was not declared in this scope
by Darrell Anderson 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I'm seeing this error with tdelibs. I updated GIT this morning but saw the same error yesterday after updating GIT. /dev/shm/tdelibs/dcop/dcopidl2cpp/main.cpp:44: error: 'qVersion' was not declared in this scope /dev/shm/tdelibs/dcop/dcopidl2cpp/main.cpp:96: error: 'qFatal' was not declared in this scope I can patch the problem by adding the "t" prefix: tqVersion, tqFatal, etc. But with each patch a new error appears. For example, qWarning -> tqWarning, qt_xrootwin -> tqt_xrootwin, qt_xdisplay -> tqt_xdisplay, qDebug -> tqDebug, qt_use_xrender -> tqt_use_xrender, etc. TQt3, tqtinterface, arts and other dependencies build without failure.

Distribution-specific theme
by François ANDRIOT 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello, I'm packaging TDE for RHEL and Fedora, but trying to keep each distribution specific artwork (at least, the default wallpaper, and the default "start" button in kicker). That way, TDE looks like it is integrated in each distro. To do so, I currently modify the default 'startkde' script, so that default user preference file are created upon first login. In fact, there are ubuntu-specific stuff in the default startkde script, I just wrote a patch that replaces ubuntu stuff with RHEL/Fedora stuff. For example, something like this is done in startkde for RHEL/Fedora: if [ ! -e $kdehome/share/config/kdesktoprc ]; then cat <<EOF >$kdehome/share/config/kickerrc [KMenu] CustomIcon=/usr/share/pixmaps/redhat-starthere.png EOF fi if [ ! -e $kdehome/share/config/kickerrc ]; then cat >$kdehome/share/config/kdesktoprc <<EOF [Desktop0] Wallpaper=/usr/share/backgrounds/verne/default/standard/verne.png WallpaperMode=Scaled EOF fi Now, I do not want to maintain patches the startkde script anymore, for distribution-specific purposes. What is the correct place to set these settings ? BTW, I already found that: TDM wallpaper: set in tdebase/tdm/kfrontend/gentdmconf.c TDE wallpaper set via kpersonalizer: tdebase/kpersonalizer/keyecandypage.cpp Should we consider an easy way (e.g. a cmake directive ...) to put the distribution-specific artwork at build time ? Thanks Francois
