KdeSudo exiting
by Luciano ES 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Sometimes I boot my machine and, right after KDE has started, I get this error message popup: Information - KdeSudo No command arguments supplied! Usage: kdesudo [-u <runas>] <command> KdeSudo will now exit... Anybody else been experiencing this? Not a problem to me, I haven't noticed lack or malfunctioning of anything. I don't think I ever use this KdeSudo thing, though. I just got the error then tried running Kuser as root (Run Command > Options > Run as a different user > root), and it worked. Shrug. -- Luciano ES >>

compiling kdebase multiple errors
by Jay 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

I am compiling kde-3.5.12 in a slackware 13 environment with no previous KDE. I have installed everything with --prefix=/usr including qt3, tqtinterface, arts & kdelibs After patching qt3 i have compiled tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs without error however compiling kdebase gives multiple errors. The file index.cache.bz2 is missing for all folders in doc. Instead of just creating the file (touch index.cache.bz2) i removed all directories in kdebase/doc (won't need them anyway) and that got me through. The next error was shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: cannot call constructor 'QImage::QImage' directly shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant '::QImage' Removing the ::QImage from the function allowed compilation to continue. krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: cannot call constructor 'KShortcut::KShortcut' directly krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant '::KShortcut' Again removing the direct call allowed me to continue. The next one is where i am stuck and not sure how to proceed. iccconfig.cpp:148:6: warning: unused variable 'i' iccconfig.cpp:149:12: warning: unused variable 'iccFileArrayNew' I tried removing the unused variables but i get a slew of these errors with the randr section. So far i have downgraded make, autoconf and automake to slack 12.2 versions and they have worked ok up until now. I am also not using the -j switch during compilation depsite using quad core processor. Can anyone advise what i may be missing or what i have done wrong? Kind Regards, Jay

Debian upgrade
by Brad Alexander 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Since my wife prefers kde3 to kde4, I have kept lenny on her machine. Fortunately, with the upgrade to squeeze imminent, I found trinity. The install in lenny was smooth, but then I changed my apt.conf to point to testing and changed the trinity.list to point to , and if I do an apt-get dist-upgrade, it wants to deinstall all of trinity. aptitude full-upgrade spits out pages and pages of dependency problems, things which I would think would be upgraded in a dist- (or full-) upgrade. What is the proper path to upgrading a Debian box with trinity installed? I would like to get at least to testing, but would really prefer getting to sid, if trinity from squeeze will run there. Thanks, --b

uic-tqt when compiling arts
by Jay 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

I am compiling in slackware 13.1 with no KDE. I have compiled the following successfully: qt-3.3.b qca-1 qca-tls poppler dbus-qt3 dbus-python tqtinterface-3.5.12 compiles without error. Compiling arts-3.5.12 stops at a 'not found' error for uic-tqt I linked uic-tqt to uic and it now stops at: /opt/kde3/lib/qt3/bin/moc ./qiomanager_p.h qiomanager_p.moc Qt meta object compiler moc: Too many input files specified I also saw it looking for moc-tqt which was not found. I thought moc-tqt was for qt4. How can i get passed the above error? Jay

Getting Started - HowToBuild - need a bit of help.
by David C. Rankin 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Tim, all, As expressed in my email to Tim, my goal is to build trinity (from svn) for Arch Linux to replace the old Chakra project kdemod3. (which is no longer supported or available) I'm very proficient in Linux, but I SUCK with cmake. It might as well be Greek. I've been through: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild and I've stumbled across the linuxquestions.org thread stating you must remove all existing kde3 installs before building trinity. (Tim this seems to answer my question whether I can do a parallel install of trinity in /opt/trinity and keep my existing /opt/kde) So do I really have to nuke my existing kde3 install prior to building trinity? (assuming yes from the following link) http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/trinity-kde-3-5-12-a-8… This is where I hit my first roadblock. (Issue #1) Arch Linux provides python2-sip and pyqt3, but not pykde. I've downloaded and written an Arch PKGBUILD script to build the PyKDE-3.16.7 package for Arch. (see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=881478#p881478) However building pykde requires dcopobject.h. Trinity provides: trinity/kdebindings/dcopc/dcopobject.h trinity/kdelibs/dcop/dcopobject.h (of which the kdelibs dcopobject.h looks correct) However, to build pykde, I have to provide reference to the installed kde3 base (-k /opt/kde) to get it to build: python2 configure.py \ -d /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages \ -v /usr/share/sip -k /opt/kde which builds fine, but the linuxquestion.org thread says if you build against the existing 3.5.10 dcopobject.h you will have build failures later on. So what's the trick to get pykde to compile using the dcopobject.h from svn? (Issue #2) How in the heck to I choose QT3 to get tqtinterface to build? I know this is a simple switch issue or environment issue, but I've googled and have just managed to broaden my confusion. This is my cmake shortcoming. When I attempt the build, I get: 11:49 archangel:/tmp/dependencies/tqtinterface> cmake ./ CMake Error at cmake/modules/TDEMacros.cmake:20 (message): ################################################# You must select a Qt version ################################################# Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:46 (tde_message_fatal) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! The error is obvious, I need to tell it which Qt version to use, but obviously I'm too stupid to figure out where or how. Can somebody help a brother out here and help lift the veil of confusion I'm suffering from here? Also, I've started a build script to automate the trinity build after I get the dependencies built. Basically to automate the libtool.m4.in, ltmain.sh and make -f setup and then provide correct ./configure options that --enable-closure when required based on the module name. The the plan is simply to build trinity in the order specified in the HowToBuild from a static list or array. Before I reinvent the wheel, does anything like this exist? Also, the wiki is a bit sparse. If anyone has more detailed notes squirreled away on the build process or how to setup a better build environment/chroot/whatever, if you will make that information available, I'll commit to adding it to the wiki (with proper attribution of course) For anyone interested, I have started the build script and have it functional up to the point of adding the ordered list to build each module. (currently it is just a concept that outputs what it will do without actually doing anything). Basic use is: sh bldtrinity.sh [ path/to/your/trinitysvn path/to/libtool.m4 path/to/ltmain.sh ] my defaults [Arch locations]: trindir=${1:-/home/david/arch/pkg/trinity} syslibtool=${2:-/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4} sysltmain=${3:-/usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh} The beginnings of the script are at: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/scr/bldtrinity.sh I welcome any suggestions or comments. Thanks. I look forward to this project. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Firefox users: Download Greasemonkey (latest is v 0.9) https://github.com/downloads/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/greasemonkey-0.9.0.x… Then use this script to force Gmail to bottom post: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35866 Chrome users: Download the extension: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35866 It should recognize it and install. Now you people have no excuse to top post ;) -- later, Robert Xu

Re: [trinity-users] Squeeze/Trinity Live CD
by David Hare 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Updated ISO (exelinux_squeeze_trinity_gpl_1.1.iso) is done. The installer should now work properly. New URL : wget -c "http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/trinity/exelinux_squeeze_trinity_…" md5sum: wget -c "http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/trinity/md5sum_exelinux_squeeze_t…" The patch worked on the old ISO. It will stay in place till the new is tested a bit more.

Gwenview can not save .tiff file
by Greg Madden 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

KDE-Trinity 3.5.12 on Debian Squeeze, running the Trinity desktop. In Gwenview, I can open and view .tiff files. If I rotate, or modify, the image and try to save, I get a ( paraphrase) can not write tiff format error. Is this a tiff support issue in KDE3 or something else? -- Peace, Greg
