Alternative APT source 'R14 preliminary stable-builds'
by Slávek Banko 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hi all, in light of the recent problems on the build-farm, I used the fact that ever since work on v3.5.13-sru I have the automated preparation of source packages and at the same time I have a private builder where I am doing the test building, and where I have available all supported Debian and Ubuntu distributions (for example, see my test for building on Ubuntu Trusty). I optimize my production line for building packages, so now I have ready alternative APT source containing packages for all supported Debian and Ubuntu distributions. The same packages will be in the future uploaded to my PPA on build-farm, where they will serve as maintanance releases for R14. Similarly, as was my PPA for v3.5.13-sru branch. Therefore, this apt source I call 'R14 preliminary stable-builds'. In order that the packages were readily available, they are synced to my primary mirror. What to do if you want to use it? 1) Add the source to sources.list: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb *distribution-name* deps-r14 main-r14 2) From some public GPG keyserver download my key and import it into APT: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pks.gpg.cz --recv-keys ED1F4884 3) Update the packages in such a way as you used to do it :) I hope it will be helpful. -- Slavek

Bugszilla whining poll (i.e. the "your bugszilla bug list needs attention" emails)
by Michele Calgaro 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Dear all, I recently had some discussions with Tim and Slavek about the bugszilla whining functionality, i.e. the "your bugszilla bug list needs attention" emails that are sent out automatically every day. We would like to fine tune that, but first we need to know your opinion about it. Here are some possible options to choose from: 1) the whining emails are reeeeeally useful, please spam my mailbox every 5 minutes so I won't forget what bug I am supposed to be working on instead of spending my time deleting emails. 2) the whining emails are useful and the current setting is ok. 3) the whining emails are useful but the frequency of the remainder is too high (currently daily). It would be better if the emails were sent weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/every 3 months/every 6 months/once a year/once every 5 years.... 4) the whining emails are useless to me but they don't affect me. 5) the whining emails are useless to me and would prefer not to receive them if possible. 6) please stop sending me those useless stuff. Pleeeeeeeease!! Really, please! Looking forward to your opinions, so that we can fine tune the settings in the best way. Cheers Michele

> Considering how long almost all bug reports sit idle, the reminders are little more than spam. That is my opinion too. Perhaps a reminder once a month would be good and would not be considered spam. Cheers Michele

Hello, I'm using the installed "live" TDE Ubuntu v12.04. I would like to use Firefox as my default browser but there doesn't seem to be a way of implementing this in <Control Centre>. Can anyone help please? -- W. Devon - - - - - - Using TDE

3/22/2014 32b nightly live CD almost a production distro
by Chris Graham 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

For testing purposes I multi boot 9 OS's, all but one with Trinity DE. I've tested 3 or 4 nightly build CDs and a couple of regular Ubuntu builds, as well as Exe 3.3 and 4.1 and a bunch of apt installs on other Debians and Ubuntus. Have had about 15 different Trinity installations total. Even buggier versions were fast, stable and reliable on ancient hardware. This 3/22/2014 nightly is close to being a really good turn-key distro straight out of the box. I only had two major problems that are easily solved: [1] The gtk-qt-trinity theme engine still causes a serious Firefox crash. I normally just remove it because the feature isn't really necessary. It's more stable in Mint 15 installations which also have either Mate or Xfce. [2] Pulseaudio was not installed. Sound initially worked without it but then failed. Installed pulseaudio and then ran 'alsa force-reload' and now sound + video seem to be reliable. And two minor bugs: [3] Control center menu should always be visible by default, but have recently become hidden by default. [4] Odd mis-rendering of Synaptic and Transmission widgets under Trinity. None of the core functions are affected, just looks funny. Occurs with or without Mate or Xfce installed alongside Trinity.

Missing Email
by Sales＠castle-computer.co.uk 23 Mar '14

23 Mar '14

Hi Guys, For some really weird reason my Emails are not shown in any of the lists that I post to. I seem to receive all posts except my own, which suggests that no one else see's them either. I've Emailed Tim directly and he answered a couple of them. I normally post from "baron(a)linuxmaniac.net" which I have registered in all lists. I've re-registered as Tim suggested. This address, the one used for this post, I don't normally use, and is not registered, but since Alexandre replied to my "Error message" post (Thanks Alexandre) I still don't see either of my/the original posts. I don't know which posts other people see and I don't know if I am getting all the posts. :-( miffed :-( -- Best Regards:

Re: [trinity-users] TDE needs your help!

> Hi Tim, > > How's the funding going, already replaced the hardware or is funding still > going? > > Best regards, > Tiago Status update: We have *just* today received sufficient funds to cover the new equipment! We have collected a grand total of $1566 as of this writing, which is 104% of the original goal. Nightly builds for all distributions should be restarted in the next week or two. Thank you again to all who have donated! The TDE project would not be possible without your generous support. Tim

RE: Indefinite QuickBuild outage
by Michele Calgaro 21 Mar '14

Tim, what is the status of that broken chiller? If the donation have not been enough to cover for its replacement, do you think it would be possible to get it repaired instead? Personally I don't need that chiller since I build on my own computer, but sure there are a lot of users/testers out there that have been relying on the nightly builds so far and would or could be affected by the lack of them if they don't use Wheezy or Trusty. Just wondering. Cheers Michele
