scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-common-admin

Hi in many submodules I see url = scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-common-admin or url = https://system@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde-common-admin However when I change it to url = https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde-common-admin I am told that the .gitmodules file was changed and has to be checked in or stashed. I wouldn't bother touching it, but 1. scm.trinitydesktop.org is not usable for me 2. it is not working from time to time What do you have at your end and how is it working for you? -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

tdebindings FTBFS
by deloptes 19 Apr '26

19 Apr '26

Hi, instead of opening a ticket in gitea I first one to make sure it is not an issue because I have some patches applied on top of tdelibs. So I recently noticed there were some improvements done on kcharselect and after fixing my repo issues I started building again this is where I hit FTBFS in tdebindings. KCharSelectTable.cpp: In function ‘void Java_org_trinitydesktop_koala_KCharSelectTable_resizeEvent(JNIEnv*, jobject, jobject)’: KCharSelectTable.cpp:643:70: error: ‘virtual void TQScrollView::resizeEvent(TQResizeEvent*)’ is protected within this context 643 | ((KCharSelectTable*) QtSupport::getQt(env, obj))->resizeEvent((TQResizeEvent*) QtSupport::getQt(env, arg1)); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/share/tqt3/include/tqscrollview.h:221:10: note: declared protected here 221 | void resizeEvent(TQResizeEvent*); | ^~~~~~~~~~~ make[5]: *** [Makefile:2459: KCharSelectTable.lo] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... can someone confirm have a look or reject my view? I couldn't find out where or why it is protected? thanks -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

gitea report subscribed, but no email results after commenting
by Felix Miata 16 Apr '26

I reported <https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/arts/issues/15> 30 months ago, and commented there 9 hours ago, as it remains unfixed with yet another release on the doorstep, but nothing has showed up in email as a consequence as yet, though it shows me as subscribed. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

[François] [Gen2 iGPU] TDM locks up local I/O in Mageia 10
by Felix Miata 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

I realize using TDE for Mageia 9 on Mageia 10 can't be expected to be perfect, but there is no other option than to wait until built for it, and I've had good success for several releases until 10, starting last September. 10 is now in beta, so should only be some weeks until release. This particular case is on 32bit, so may have nothing to do with software versions other than end of support by Mesa for the Gen2 0x2572 iGPU. The thing is, same PC works just fine with Tumbleweed, KDM3, 6.18.9 and 6.19.6 kernels, and newer Mesa 26.0.1, while 10 has mesa 25.3.6. I'm hoping there is a way to rule out Mageia mesa and X problems prior to release of either 10 or 14.1.6. # systemctl status tdm ● tdm.service - Trinity Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tdm.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2026-03-09 12:09:31 EDT; 28min ago Invocation: ff9b163fafed46f5918a23a3befbd915 Docs: man:tdm-trinity(1) Main PID: 958 (tdm) Tasks: 1 (limit: 3525) CPU: 753ms CGroup: /system.slice/tdm.service └─958 /opt/trinity/bin/tdm Mar 09 12:09:31 gx27c systemd[1]: Started Trinity Display Manager. # dmesg | grep -E 'aile|drm' [ 33.925764] systemd[1]: Starting Load Kernel Module drm...

[Leap 16] can't login to sole user
by Felix Miata 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

Nothing useful from users send this last night, so perhaps someone here can help? I just did an openSUSE Leap 16 installation on a new used PC with FM2+ AMD. Only IceWM was installed initially, then TDE, then Plasma. TDM is active DM. Plasma and IceWM sessions work normally, but for TDE for the only user, instead a popup: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?).

Character encodings
by deloptes 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Hi all, occasionally we have discussed issues with char encoding and the UTF-8 set. I can not recall what was done or discussed, so I want to ask first the community for common knowledge and then invest time in looking into code etc. I have following use case. I read a book with tde-ebook-reader. I can copy following text out of the book (example: “English: The 1931 Malay census was an alarm bell. IPA: ðə 1931 ˈmeɪleɪ ˈsɛnsəs wɑz ən əˈlɑrm bɛl.”) but in the reader the IPA characters are shown as squares. Is it a font issue, or encoding handling issue in tde-ebook-reader? -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0

Why are all the source archives bad?
by E. Liddell 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

When upgrading to 14.1.4 and then to 14.1.5, I was bombarded with the following messages indicating the .tar.xz files have some issue: * Messages for package trinity-base/kcheckpass-14.1.5: * tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway * Messages for package trinity-base/tdm-14.1.5: * tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway * Messages for package trinity-base/kdesktop-14.1.5: * tar extract command failed at least partially - continuing anyway This happens for all the TDE core packages (but not for k3b). I don't remember whether it was an issue with versions before 14.1.4. It would just be a mildly irritating bit of log spam except for one thing: one of my machines is behind a corporate firewall that I do not control, and it *hates* compressed files it can't open and inspect. So I have to move the files to it via sneakernet. Is whatever method is being used to create these files adding trailing garbage or something? E. Liddell

Getting SMTP connection error when attempting to upload mail to mail.com
by jlt1 05 Mar '26

05 Mar '26

For some reason, for several days now when KMail tries to upload mail to smtp.mail.com I get the following message: | Sending failed: | | Connection to host smtp.mail.com is broken. | | The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. | | The following transport protocol was used: | | mail.com I have tried deleting and recreating my settings for outbound mail in KMail's Settings => Accounts, Sending but that hasn't fixed the problem. I am able to ping smtp.mail.com, so the server is reachable. Is anyone else having issues connecting to SMTP servers? Leslie (sent via the mail.com web interface)

tde-packaging-gentoo: Request for application to GPO
by cat 21 Feb '26

21 Feb '26

Hello, I would appreciate if the gentoo overlay could be listed on GPO, Gentoo's official overlays list, to make it easier to find. You can find information on how to do so here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Overlays/Overlays_guide#Requesting_add… I also would recommend that the overlay name is changed to "trinity", unless there is some conflict with other overlays or a particular reason why the "trinity-official" overlay name must be used. Layman is no longer used on gentoo either, you should instead provide a command such as: eselect repository add trinity-official git https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde-packaging-gentoo.git or, in the future, supposing you prefer to keep the overlay named "trinity-official" and the overlay is added to the official overlays list: eselect repository enable trinity-official I would have preferred to have filed this as an issue on tde-packaging-gentoo, but the Gitea does not appear open for registration. I would also appreciate if the documentation here: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/support.php could be updated to reflect that. Kind regards, cat
