Hi all!
I just upgraded my FreeBSD box and ran into this problem when rebuilding tde: dependencies et al. builds fine, tdelibs compiles but after compilation the one test failes:
Start 31: tdeio/kmimetypetest
31/40 Test #31: tdeio/kmimetypetest ...............................***Failed
So building tdelibs fails. Running kmimetypetest by hand gives this:
# ./tdelibs/work/tdelibs-trinity_14.0.5/.build/tdeio/tests/kmimetypetest
kmimetypetest: WARNING: Could not find mime type
application/octet-stream
kmimetypetest: WARNING: No mime types installed.
ERROR: icon for file:///root is unknown, expected folder!
Running as user gives the same error, just with file:///[user] in the last line.
Is this test important or can I just work my way around and everything will turn out nice?

Hello !
On a wide display my konsole window has more than 223 columns. So all
the mouse events (clicks and mouse wheel scrolling) with column
coordinate bigger than 223 are getting corrupted.
As a result VIM receives wrong mouse event coordinates. This is not a
VIM specific problem, because VIM works fine in xterm window on the
same machine (with the same settings as usual).
I compiled a testing ncurses application from here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47256750
It reports corrupted coordinates if running in xterm with TERM=xterm
but it reports right values when running in xterm with TERM=xterm-1006
(exactly as it is intended to work). Alas in konsole this application
either reports corrupted coordinates with TERM=xterm or doesn't
recognize mouse events at all with TERM=xterm-1006
Maybe someone knows how to get mouse events reported properly ?
Cheers,
Ilya D.
The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of the new TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW)
collaboration tool.
TGW is a Gitea-based, GitHub-style, self-hosted copy of the official
source code repositories that is synchronized with the main server on a
hourly basis. It offers wider bandwidth and a collaboration workflow that
helps achieving the aim of providing:
* fast access to the source code, both through Git or web interface
* an easy tool for users and external developers to propose code changes
and improvements
* a quick way for code sharing and collaboration amongst developers
* a simple workflow for reviewing, testing and merging code patches
TGW has been thought to serve the needs of the following groups:
* people who want to have fast anonymous read-only access to the
TDE source code
* users who intend to report bugs and propose ideas for ehnancement
* contributors who intend to submit code changes for inclusion into
TDE official source code
* developers who want to cooperate on some common functionality or bug fix
TDE core developers are already using TGW on a daily basis and they hope
more and more users and contributors will join them soon.
Read more about TGW and how to use it on the wiki
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Gitea_Workspace and access the
workspace at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea .
Credits and acknowledgements
We thanks all the people that are (or have been) involved in making TDE
the great desktop environment that it is.
We would like to officially thanks vpsFree.org for kindly providing free
hosting space for the TDE Gitea Workspace.
I've got an SBC (not a raspberry) with an ARM processor. I've managed to
install Armbian. As it will be running headless but I'd like to take a look
at what it has been recording from time to time, kdrc would be perfect.
I've done that on a Raspberry (thanks to QOS), but it seems the only TDE for
arm is for Raspbian and there are unsatisfied dependancies when I try to
install on Armbian.
I'll try to see what I can do with vnc, but has anyone made experiences with
Armbian?
Note: I was able to install KDE 4's krfb on Armbian, but some "smart"
developper has decided (for security I imagine) that you have to give the
password for kwallet, then create an unattended password everytime - which
totaly defeats the use as headless remote access....
Have a good day,
Thierry
G'day List,
According to DistroWatch, Manjaro is the most popular Linux
disribution by a vary large margin.
Has anyone put TDE/Trinity on Manjaro? If so, what is the correct way
to do it?
Thanks,
Glen
I don't know if someone can help me on this one.
The goal is as follow: I have an older machine, running Wheezy and TDE 13.2
As it's only used to record satellite-TV I never felt the need to update it
and won't do unless necessary.
Now what I would like to do is record something in a week, without leaving the
computer on for all that time. I can let the computer start at the right
time. When starting it loads kaffeine. I've programmed the recording.
My problem is this:
a) Kaffeine is started by a link in .trinity/Autostart. The programs starts OK
but the Recording Schedule is empty. No recording.
b) I close kaffeine and start it again. Now the Recording Schedule is there.
Is there some magical string to add so that Kaffeine autostarts *AND* loads
the Recording schedule? man or --help don't provide anything about recording.

I noticed the same thing. Even though I have green lighted E. Liddel's
messages, they still end up in spam. So I have to fish them out as well.
A friend at google says it happens because their filtering setups, are
designed to favour paid adverts and spam tag nonpaying competitors. He
guesses E. Liddel, must be similar enough to a nonpaying competitor to be
filtered into spam.
Honestly I think they have it out for Liddel.
Cheers to all

PS Whenever I see an email from Felmon, I always think Felonious Monk, and
then think of the Monk series. Which only proves, I have a strange mind. No
offense Felmon.
Hi,
I am a CJK user which relies on IMEs (i.e. iBus, fcitx) etc. to type my
native language.
However, I found that most of the IMEs only work with modern toolkit
libraries, like Qt4/5 and GTK 2/3. I tried R14.0.4 and fcitx does not
work on it.
It seems that unless these IMEs provide libraries to work with Qt3, it
is impossible to get IMEs working in TDE.
So my question is, are there any workarounds for such a situation?
