list archives?
by Dave Williams 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Is there an official list archive somewhere? I'd like to read through the old messages and get up to speed on things. Uh... by "archive" I mean the old style "a file containing messages in mbox or maildir format", not the new style "a web portal into a mail database." Not trying to be picky, but when it's most convenient for me to read it, I'll be at a secure site with no internet access.

akregator and krb5
by Darrell Anderson 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

On my build system I built kdepim while krb5 was installed. I installed the final packages on a different system. Now Akregator refuses to fetch feeds unless krb5 is installed. I understand the cause and effect, but seems to me this might be a bug. Even when built with krb5 present, apps should still run when krb5 is not installed or found. The app loses some authentication security, but that would be the same result as when kdepim is compiled without krb5 present during the build. Can others confirm this behavior? If so then I'll file a bug. Thanks. Darrell

KDESU
by Darrell Anderson 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Some things I noticed when using kdesu to open Kate. 1. In the password dialog box there was no check box to remember the password. 2. For my root user I have Kate configured to use a pink background rather than white. That serves as a simple reminder I am working as root and not as a normal user. Yet in Trinity, after launching through kdesu, Kate did not display the background as pink but white. Superficially that seems to indicate Kate inherited the normal user's properties rather than root's. 3. After running kdesu to open Kate, I continually received DCOP error messages of the effect that KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP. Basically I had to restart my desktop session thereafter to launch apps. Comments? Confirmations? Darrell

Introducing Pardus
by Ozan Çağlayan 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi, Pardus is a Linux distribution funded and developed by the Turkish Government. We're planning to release a Corporate version - Pardus Corporate 2 - which is based on KDE 3.5. We've been maintaining KDE 3.5 for a very long time so we have a lot of bugfix/feature patches in our base packages. I want to push those patches to trinity after doing a review with trinity contributors about their upstreamability. And then I really want to switch to Trinity KDE in Pardus Corporate 2 as this will be a long-term supported release which should a have a maintained desktop environment. Right now I started to prepare packages for the dependencies. I'm waiting for your co-operation to make things better. --- Ozan Çağlayan TUBITAK/UEKAE - Pardus Linux http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng

Desktop files not in autostart directory
by Ozan Çağlayan 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi, When I was searching a way to autostart KMix, I've found a patch by Chakra that's merged into trinity sources which adds X-KDE-Autostart-* keywords to kmix.desktop file but the relevant kmix.desktop file is not installed under the global autostart directory so it doesn't autostart KMix on my vanilla 3.5.10. Are there patches in Trinity which provides autostarting even if the desktop file doesn't reside in the autostart directory? Also there's this X-KDE-Autostart-Condition:* thing in KMix desktop for checking autostart= value in kmixrc but apparently KMix doesn't even know about the autostart= configuration key. It's quite possible that the desktop file patch from Chakra is adopted directly from KDE 4.x. Regards, Ozan Caglayan

Unmounted Floppy
by Darrell Anderson 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

In KDE 3.5.10, with floppy drive polling explicitly disabled with HAL, the Unmounted Floppy icon appears on my desktop. This provides me a means to manually mount floppy disks. Yeah, once in a blue moon I still use floppies (I have some old computers with no USB support). BTW, disabling polling stops the clicking sound. With Trinity, the Unmounted Floppy desktop icon no longer appears. I presume this has something to do with polling being disabled. I can get the Unmounted Floppy icon to appear by inserting a USB flash drive. This seems to refresh the desktop. But this lasts only for that session. Next restart of Trinity and the Unmounted Floppy desktop icon is gone. Is this different behavior a bug or a "feature"? Thanks. Darrell

Desktop Device Icon Behavior
by Darrell Anderson 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

I notice when enabling any of the Desktop device Icons such as My Documents, My Network, Printers, etc., that the icon always first appears on the left side of the desktop (expected) but always in the second row of the icon grid (not expected). Looks slap-happy. Is there an option to force the icons to appear in the first column of the icon grid? Darrell

What is the status of Trinity development? Other than an occasional cmake update in svn, I am seeing no movement anywhere, especially with the bugzilla. Darrell

quick update
by Robert Xu 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi all, Just a quick update on the building of RPMs: + Removed Mandriva from the list of build targets. Matthew Dawkins from Unity can take care of that :) + Removed Fedora 12 from the list of build targets. End of Life. + Removed openSUSE Factory Snapshot from the list of build targets. Updates too often and that doesn't help development. + Building at standstill after autoconf263: Apparently the project configuration isn't working very well. I'm just waiting for the configuration to work again. That way, I can get the newer autoconf out of the way for this older but working one. -- later, Robert Xu
