I also tried purging hal package but with no result. One thing that changed after the upgrade is that kpowersave icon in the tray is greyed out when I log into Trinity, as if HAL was not accessable. Only after several seconds it becomes normal. Please note that kpowersave reports HAL as enabled and complains when I shut down hal daemon. So there seems to be some communication between them (just reading from HAL?). Is there any way I can debug this? I recall struggling with similar problem under KDE3 and OpenSUSE. Back then it was a matter of some dbus permissions. > This embarrassing situation was a strong motivator for the complete > removal of HAL in R14. ;-) This begs the question when will R14 be released.

KPowerSave doesn't indicate battery level
by Jan Stolarek 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

I recently upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy and at the sam time I upgraded Trinity. I just realized that after this upgrade KPowerSave: a) always indicates that the power cord is plug in, even if it's not; b) does not show battery level c) after going into KPowerSave settings display and selecting a power scheme on the first tabs display brightness and CPU speed are greyed out and marked as "not supported" Calling `acpi -b` indicates battery level correctly. I also notcied that in KControlCenter I can't control brightness in Display settings. OTOH I can change display broghtness by using function keys. I suspect that I might be missing some packages or that permissions might be incorrect. Thoughts? Janek

When TDE crashes...
by Timothy Pearson 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 When TDE crashes and Dr. Konqi appears... ...please click "Report Crash" instead of "Close". TDE now has a powerful automated crash reporting system that will let you submit a crash report with as little as three mouse clicks--no personal information, logins, or version descriptions are required. Of course we would appreciate a problem description and possibly a contact Email address, but if you don't have time or just don't want to give that information out you can still submit the crash report for analysis and repair. Thank you for using TDE!

Bug ?
by Baron 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

Hi Guys, I think I may have stumbled across a bug in the version of Trinity that I use. PCLinuxOS from Alexandre's iso. If I click on "Home" Konqueror opens, if I then open a second new window by right clicking and choosing "Open in a new Window" on a directory. I now have two open windows. If I then create a new directory in the first window and open that. I now have three windows. If I now try to drag and drop a file from the second window into the new 3rd window the files end up in the first window. Not in the new 3rd directory. The same happens if I try to create a directory or a file in the new directory. It appears in the first window. Files do drag and drop correctly from the first window into any directory in that window. It gets very confusing items that you think you have put somewhere appearing somewhere else. -- Best Regards: Baron.

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
