issues after migrating KDE3 -> trinity
by Ilya Dogolazky 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

Hi again ! After I copied my .kde directory to .trinity, my old KDE3 settings are back. But some issues remain. here is the list of issues I've seen so far (any help is very welcome!) in none particular order. The most important items below are: 2, 6.2, 6.3, 8, 11 and of course 1 ;) 1. I got a message "KFish applet can't be installed on the panel", and no fish is visible :-( 2. The 'konsole' application (KDE's xterm replacement) can't be started: ilya@kalma:~$ which konsole /opt/trinity/bin/konsole ilya@kalma:~$ konsole konsole: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv 3. I have two panels, one for buttons, keyes, kfish and menus; and the second one for tasks. This second one was configured in KDE to be two items high, but now its height is just one item ("item" in my definition is a rectangle representing a single task). Fixed it manually by setting "Size" from "Default" to "Custom 52 pixels" 4. There are some KDE4 artifacts: 4.1 A PSI program successfully attached to the panel, but the drop down menus look like those in KDE4 and the UI of the psi program itself looks like KDE4. I would like to know if it's the expected behavior. Basicaly I have nothing against it (ok, it's ugly, but I can live with it), but it's better to know for sure. 4.2 An application called "Nepomuk Strigi File Indexing" (which I never seen before) is started, attached to the panel and doing some massive input/output. The UI looks like KDE4. I would like to know how to get rid of it. 5. Background pictures disappeared, only one of six is visible (I'm afraid they were original KDE3 pictures and just gone during the system update) 6. Massive screen saver issues: 6.1 My previously used screen saver (displaying failure messages from different operation systems) disappeared. 6.2 In the unlock dialog there is no keyboard layout button. This is a really critical issue: once locked with Russian layout I can't switch to a Latin one, thus I can't enter the password and unlock 6.3 When screen saver is starting only one physical display (out of two) is cleaned, so everyone can read information on the secondary display (which is in kinda "read-only" mode, so no use input possible). This is a pretty heavy issue as well. 7. Trinity KDM is not working (probably crashing, but I've not investigated much), and "trinity" is not appearing in the default KDM window manager selection list. So I've stopped display manager, created a simple .xinitrc script ("exec /opt/trinity/bin/startkde 2>trinity.stderr >trinity.stdout") and now starting trinity with "startx" command. 8. The output of .xinitrc contains couple of "symbol lookup error:" lines: 8.1 for /opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject21objectTreesListObjectEv 8.2 konsole: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv (see issue 2 above). 8.3 See item 11 below. 9. Very annoying issue, but I've seen it in KDE3 already: while moving a window inside of secondary physical monitor, it's not possible to move it to the upper area: window manager only allows to keep it *below* the panel (but the panel is occupying only the primary monitor, thus the piece of the secondary monitor is not used by application windows. There is a work around: maximize window in question, then it's taking the whole secondary monitor. 10. Fuzzy clock in the bottom panel doesn't use the font it was using in KDE. I tried to fix it, something very bad happened, see item 11. By the way: how can I restore the panels without logging off and on again? 11. After right-clicking on the clock in the bottom panel and selecting "configure clock" BOTH panels (top and bottom) disappeared. The last suspicious message in trinity.stderr is: kicker [kdeinit]: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv Cheers, Ilya Dogolazky

desktop settings
by Ilya Dogolazky 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi ! I've installed trinity today for the first time. Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is: Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE settings directory? Thanks ! -- Ilya Dogolazky

KMail
by Lisi Reisz 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I am still having problems getting KMail to use my data from before my desktop died. I have now successfully copied an intact copy of the Mail folder ~/Mail) from a backup to my present setup. I have checked, and my folders and emails at least are there. But KMail won't use them/doesn't see them. This is the method I have always used before, that has always worked before. I am desperate to be able to use KMail again, but daren't just set it up because I am then going to be faced with losing everything that I do now, if I ever succeed in restoring the stuff from the past. I thought of purging and reinstalling KMail and starting again, but that would remove 383 packages, and I am somewhat chary therefore of doing it. ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail in the new set-up has: file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/drafts file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.drafts.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.drafts.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.inbox.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.inbox.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/outbox file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.outbox.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.outbox.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/sent-mail file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.sent-mail.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.sent-mail.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/templates file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.templates.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.templates.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/trash file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index.ids There is now no error message about indices, but it looks to me as though this directory is at the root of the problem. I have renamed it and started KMail, and it just regenerates it the same, and still doesn't use the available data, but kmail gives: file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/elizabeth.reisz:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/kmmainwin.rc file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi%40$name.myzen.co.uk:%40mailhost.zen.co.uk:110 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.reisz%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.reisz:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.t155:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lock file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail.old file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/search Help!!

The "Desktop is $HOME, not $HOME/Desktop" issue again
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I just installed TDE 3.5.15 on a fresh wheezy box (T61p, kernel 3.*, nvidia drivers). Funny thing, anything worked, after I got rid of all KDE4 libs which caused a blue screen with cursor after login otherwise. The only issue I did not find a reason for is that $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs gets overwritten with all folders set to $HOME: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME" So this causes TDE to assume the desktop folder is the useres home directory. I can change that dir to "$HOME/Desktop" and apply the immutable flag to the file to prevent it beeing overwritten at login - the fiole is overwritten at each login somewhere before TDE reads it. Now my question is, what when why is this file written? It's a bit anoying when you stumble upon that problem :-) Nik -- Mag.

Kicker crashes when Settings or System menus are accessed
by Dan Youngquist 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

3.5.13 on Xubuntu Oneiric. All other menus work, but as soon as I go to Settings or System, kicker crashes. Also crashes when I use the menu search, but I suspect it's because it hits one of those two menus. Anyone else having this problem? -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Great work! I loved KDE 2 in it's time, loved KDE 3, and I'm sure I will love Trinity. I just installed it in my Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) and its works flawlessly (until now) and extremely fast! I got a screenshot and maybe someone can put it on the website. In the future I will try to work fixing bugs. For now I need to finish my BS. in Computer Science... []s
