Fix linear alphabet string errors
kvirc-trinity
* commit 51bbe9e5
Fix linear alphabet string errors
I wanted to apply 1f39650 for qt-x11-free that fixes the 812, but its
application has resulted in crash almost all programs - see
http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5251 - with this I need help.
In addition to patches for qt-x11-free on my list of issues remains to be many
problems with Kaffeine, for which I do not have patches and solutions. And
then also a minor issue with displaying of SVG wallpapers (bugs #744, #615).
Does anyone have any other useful patches suitable for backport?
Packages with the above patches are in my PPA source ready to test - for
Squeeze, Oneiric, Natty, Maverick and Lucid. I will be happy if you want to
test. See https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis

Thanks for doing this. I haven't had any issues with the apps I use.
Kymoney was a non starter here...literally would not start... thanks, I am trying
kmymoney out now.

I attach an archive containing patches. It would be good if it were
possible to have a branch in git - for example 3.5.3-updates, to which
would be incorporated these patches.
The archive also contains a patch for qt-x11-free, but so far I've used -
on Squeeze it caused crash all applications.
Furthermore, in archive are patch kdebase/documents-folder.diff and
kdenetwork/99b_kopete_nowlistening.diff for which I yet did not report
bugs to which they relate.

As I have a "test box" with a new squeeze/tde install I tried a
dist-upgrade using the ppa repo
https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis
Unfortunately bug #394 and it's relatives (kdesu) reappeared.

I checked that changes from 2b178a53 commit to solve error 394, are in the
source code. And it does not appear that any of the used patches should
have an impact to kdesu.

All I can say is, the user's dcopserver crashed after using kdesu, as
reported elsewhere.. I since downgraded, before noticing whether the
startkde patch (which seems to fix a number of related bugs because
$KDEROOTHOME was being set to user's ~) was present but could take a
second look.
http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=852

probably others
Other than that I'm please to see some updated and patched debs, for
those of us who do not know cmake very well.

I saw some recent updates in
https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis
I tried again in my Squeeze "test" install with 3.5.13 a full
dist-upgrade with that repo enabled, around 120MB. Made sure to close
kdm first.
The previous kdesu problems seem fixed. Kaffeine too is working fine,
including DVB (I read there was a bug where it doesn't override the
screensaver, not an issue here as I don't use screensavers)
So far, no problems whatsoever; many 3.5.13 bugs seem fixed. Looks good
enough to do the same on my main machine.
There seems little publicity at the moment, no mention at
http://www.trinitydesktop.org A 3.5.13 deb-packaged updates repo is just
marvelous for those of us who use Trinity as main DE but are affected by
R13 bugs.

Sounds good - does ksysguard detect the hw sensors?
After the kdm cpu thrash bug that was the second show stopper for me.

Agreed - we've held off upgrading for just that reason. We realize how
huge a step forward 3.5.13 was and so have been waiting for it to settle
down a bit. Thanks - John

I assumed that when the update will be prepared and tested (and not so
often supplemented by other patches), so Tim pulled this as the official
update - to the standard Trinity apt sources.
In my "viewfinder" now remain these reported problems:
#406 [Regression] KMail always checks mail after sending
#407 [Regression] KMail text disappears
#615 KSVG shows only black previews
#744 Some built-in desktop backgrounds don't work
#859 Kaffeine does not block screensaver
#692 Kate: focus is broken when using the --use parameter
Errors #406 and #407 I take to be less important - do not consider as
blocking the release of updates.
Errors #615 and #744 are more important, but also do not consider as
blocking the release of updates.
Bug #859 I would like to see corrected, but even after repeated studying
the source code I found nothing. I'm starting to worry that the problem
is elsewhere - perhaps in kwin?
For #692 I'm waiting that will be incorporated into the GIT and I consider
whether to again update kdebase packages...

Might be less important for you but maximum anoying for me. I have (at least)
2 mail accounts. Each time I want to send a mail via 1st account KMail checks
mail for all accounts. But my other accounts do allow me a mail checking only
every 15 minutes. Since 3.5.13 I can not send mail without accepting a bunch
of error messages on my screen from the other mail accounts.
Just to let you know that #406 is really disturbing for others
thanks for reading

I understand - I have usually in KMail 4, 5 accounts. Also I'm really not
too happy ... But I do not mind it too much. In the mail archive folders
I disabled email scanning and checks for new messages got at an
acceptable level.
In the account settings you can choose whether to be included in the
manual mail checking, which excludes the account from this check caused
by sending a message.

I forgot to mention that I know about the problems caused by SAK, but
because I never convinced about its usefulness, I do not care about his
repairing - I simply recommend: turn it off. :)
