how to discover what package is required
by Jim 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Hi, Following the instructions at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Raspbian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… I installed tdebase-trinity (rather than tde-trinity), mainly because of disk space concerns. I then installed korganizer-trinity, which is the package of most immediate interest to me. However, when I try to configure the date and time (Settings/Configure Date & Time ...) I am told WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/ This leaves me completely unaware of what package(s) I should install to make it happy. Q1: Can anyone tell me which packages I would want to install to be able to run this setting? Q2: Can anyone tell me how I could have figured this out myself, short of reading all the code? (I did look at some code, but decided that it was taking me down some very long chain of function calls with no end in sight, and I had to move on to some other work right now.) Thanks very much. Jim

"...error setting up inter-proocess communications for TDE
by Felix Miata 12 Jan '21

Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_m7ncd_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" These messages pop up twice at each attempt to start a TDE session, then the attempt aborts, regardless whether sessuib start attempt is via TDM or startx. This is hardly the first time I've encountered this. What is the usual cause? 32 bit Bullseye & trinity-sb. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/TDE/xsession-errors -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Finding apps in gitea workspace…
by Stefan Krusche 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Dear developers, every now and then I would like to add an issue in gitea workspace. But I find it hard to find particular apps. For example, I would like to add an issue for kweather (what I reported earlier on tde-users) but when I enter "kweather" in the search field it tells me that it didn't find any repositories. What's the way to go from here? How could I find out in which of all those sub repositories kweather resides? To get more familiar with this gitea workspace probably would motivate me to contribute to it more often. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

Email addresses for teams
by Slávek Banko 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi all, I have one easier topic to discuss. We already have several cases where it would be useful to have a general email address for the "team". For example, in deb packing files, Tim is specifically listed as the "Maintainer:" with his address, while it would be more appropriate to use the general "deb team" address. Similarly for Gentoo packaging it would be useful to have an email address for the Gentoo team. Here are three ways to create such addresses: 1. An alias that ensures delivery of emails to a manually maintained list of recipients. This is a simple solution, but it can run into a problem due to SPF/DKIM and at the same time it does not provide much comfort in answering - so that other team members are informed as well. 2. Mailing list open to all for incoming mails and with a moderated subscription. There is good comfort for subscribing team members, it handles replying to a mailing list well and can provide an archive - it is possible to choose whether private or public. 3. Shared mailbox for each team. A full IMAP mailbox is good - all emails in one place, but it has the disadvantage of having to share a password. What way do you think is best? Cheers -- Slávek

[tde-devels][suse] No user is highlighted...
by Felix Miata 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

...when these settings are used in tdmrc in openSUSE 15.2: SelectedUsers=root,me HiddenUsers= UseTheme=false Theme= PreselectUser=me FocusPasswd=true LoginMode=DefaultLocal Users list with no user preselected is a real problem, because user "me" is really my 90 year old mom. She can manage the password when it's the default, but I don't seem to be able to make it the default. Am I overlooking something? Or, is this a bug nobody notices because everybody uses the mousetype default theme or autologin? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

tdeio-umountwrapper-trinity is broken or not fully installed

Hi, I did upgrade freshly compiled 14.1, but hit the one in the Subject. Subsequent "apt-get -f install" solved it (I hope).

CLA × DCO
by Slávek Banko 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi all, with the arrival of the new year, in addition to wishing you good health and well-being, I open another topic for discussion - arrangement between the project and contributors. As with many other open source projects, there were concerns about patent trolls and other potential legal risks that led Tim to propose the use of a CLA (Contributor License Agreement) in 2014. The questions following the CLA's proposal were mainly technical and focused on how to confirm compliance with these arrangements for smaller contributors. The discussion that followed led to a consensus on the fact that it was essential for the contributors to add a "Signed-off-by:" line to their contributions. As a result, the "Signed-off-by" requirement is exactly the same as the one for the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin). DCO is significantly simpler than a CLA and now used by a lot of open source projects. For these reasons, in recent years we have already been using DCO rather than CLA for all contributions made. We would like to officially declare the CLA obsolete and replace it by a DCO. This would actually officially reconcile the declared state and the way it is actually used. Therefore, I ask you if anyone is aware of any obstacles, why this could not be done? See the CLA discussion thread: https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/devels@trinitydesk… See DCO: https://developercertificate.org/ Cheers -- Slávek
