HBasic
by Michael Henry 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Is there anyway that HBasic can be supported in Trinity? http://hbasic.sourceforge.net/ -- Bro. Michael Henry Associate Pastor Monticello Christian Church Be kinder than necessary.

GIT Migration Status
by Timothy Pearson 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

All, As you are aware I have taken the opportunity to rename many kde-ish libraries and package names during the move to GIT. Also being tested is TQt3 compliance on all architectures. This process has uncovered numerous issues within the TDE codebase, and as a result the GIT repository thaw date has been pushed back to December 31, 2011. This will allow me additional time to correct some of the issues I am currently experiencing, and hopefully fix some unreported/reported bugs in the process. In the meantime I expect all members of the TDE development team to continue squashing bugs. Patches should be uploaded to the bug report, and the bug report should be marked as PATCHAVAIL. Thank you for your understanding! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

Trinity and Ubuntu
by Michael Henry 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

What would it take to create a build system that can keep up to date with Ubuntu releases, ie like the kubuntu remix Timothy used to do before it became time consumig? I'm working on a project and want Trinity. So how can I go about doing it? -- Bro. Michael Henry Associate Pastor Monticello Christian Church Be kinder than necessary.

kmailrc file type unknown
by Darrell Anderson 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

Something that has long puzzled me back into the early KDE 3.x days is why the user's kmailrc config file appears in Konqueror as file type unknown. I would be grateful for somebody shedding light on this and where in the source code that is configured. Thanks! Darrell

KDM Issues
by Darrell Anderson 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

The default Trinity KDM welcome message: Welcome to Kubuntu at %n Should be: Welcome to Trinity at %n The log file name should be changed to something like tdm.log to avoid conflicts with the KDE 4 KDM. KDM defaults to using Secure Attention Key. This might cause havoc on systems not using PAM or whatever SAK is tied to. The default should be off. I'll file bug reports against those. More importantly for now, after disabling SAK, I am unable to login with the Trinity Login Manager. Even fails with root and AllowRootLogin=true. The kdm.log helps very little but there are several messages such as: QSettings: failed to open file '/tmp/0491199751/.qt/qt_plugins_3.3rc QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty Any ideas? Slackware 13.1. Thanks. Darrell

Can't start some KOffice apps
by Darrell Anderson 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

From the default T-Menu I can't start KWord or KPresenter. I can start other KOffice apps from the T-Menu. I can't start either from KRunner unless I use the %u parameter. I can start either with no parameters from Konsole. When I start KPresenter from KRunner with the same command as in the T-Menu, kpresenter %u, I receive a message box that says: Could not open Reason: the file does not exist. When close KPresenter I see the following message: The document '%u' has been modified. Do you want to save it? I can get both KWord and KPresenter to start from KRunner if I use the full path. /opt/trinity/bin is the first directory in my search path. I can get both to start from the T-Menu if I modify the menu to use full paths. I don't see anything in the desktop files that is different from the other KOffice apps. Can anybody else confirm this behavior? Anybody know where to troubleshoot? Thanks. Darrell

Konqueror Web Browser.
by Richard J.M. Hill 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

My main concern regarding Konqueror as a web browser is one of security. I may be wrong, but my experience, with Slackware at least, is that the browser is part of KDE, and that there are no security updates for it. The only time it gets updated is when you install a new version of KDE. Since most web browsers require updates every few weeks, or sometimes after only a few days, I would like Trinity to have the ability to install security updates for the web browser, just like I can with Firefox, without having to update the whole D.E. or even the 'base' package. Richard. -- Stupidity is its own reward.

Query about openSUSE package of Trinity
by Dr Tony Young 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

And as soon as I sent the email below, my imail showed that I had just recieved another from Andrea Cascio talking about "updated qt3 packages for openSUSE" and to Robert Xu......So I am sure something is happening....but I'd dearly like to know "when" there could be a release. Hi, I realise this is sort of "out-field",but the Trinity web site has lots and lots of examples of the packages for other distros but never one for openSUSE. I'm not really, really a programmer but I have used openSUSE for years and I know if something wrong is the DE or the OS......And I can fault find simple tasks and problems. Currently I am using openSUSE 11.3 with KDE4.4.4 running in folder view and all special effects turned off. It's remarkably fast and very, very, very stable. Can anyone tell me when a package will be ready for openSUSE of any version ? I think Robert Xu (if I have that name right) was working on this, but so far I have seen nothing come out - and this is not a reflection on Robert as I am sure he has his hands overfull like the rest of you Trinity developers. Best wishes to you all.......I think what you are doing is great - I just want to get my hands on Trinity while using my favourite distribution.

Cmake functions detection
by Laurent Dard 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

While discussing about kdm, it has been found that cmake (in kdebase) doesn't detect the crypt function. (A patch has been sent.) I noticed that the same function isn't detected in kdelibs, as well than other functions (alloca and dlerror). I reported a bug for this (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=654). In comparison, I also found that autoconf, in kde 3.5.10, is detecting those functions. That makes me think that there's probably other errors, in the cmake configuration, in other parts of Trinity, and that it would be useful to take a look in the whole tree of trinity. What do you think? -- Laurent Dard
