Re: #684475 RFP: trinity-desktop -- Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE)
Hi *, has anyone done anything on this? I noticed that Trinity themselves have a “PPA” on “the only functional Launchpad instance outside of Canonical”, in which they offer packages for Debian releases even. AIUI these are actively maintained and even security-fixed. I was considering reviewing these (their source packages actually) and possibly starting to upload them piece by piece to experimental, but I don’t know C++ really, and I’m not sure if this is ever going to be accepted “by Debian”. I’d love to solicitate aid from the Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers, but I understand they’re busy with KF5/Qt5 and probably(?) don’t wish to revisit their KDE 3/Qt 3 knowledge (please correct me if I’m wrong, or if even some individual Debian Qt/KDE maintainers outside of their membership of said team would be able to help). I could take care of the boring side of this (checking the packaging itself, uploading, triaging bugs, actually using this on my desktop) but I don’t feel capable enough to, by myself, handle the entirety of the technical work involved (I did hack a bit on Qt and KDE components for porting to m68k and x32 mostly, but… really only a bit). I’m also open to forming a team to bring this forward, but in this case, probably not a team of one… Thanks, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg
Bug#860086: qtbase5-dev: QApplication does not receive QEvent::TabletEnterProximity
Package: qtbase5-dev Version: 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 Severity: normal I'm using a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 2, which has a touch screen and a stylus. The stylus triggers Qt tablet events. Trying to fix a problem in Okular [0], I noticed that the QApplication class does not receive the events TabletEnterProximity and TabletLeaveProximity, even though it should, according to the Qt documentation [1]. To test this, try the example tablet application from [1]. It should change the cursor shape whenever the stylus comes near the screen, but the cursor never changes. Adding a debug line into TabletApplication::event (which inherits from QApplication) shows that QApplication actually receives very few events at all. Basically only QApplicationStateChangeEvents and QTimerEvents. On the other hand, my system does know about the stylus being close to the screen. xev sees it, and in the example from [1] the cursor moves to the correct position when I move the stylus close to, but not onto the screen. This is a regression. It used to work with a Debian testing installation from about six month ago when I first wrote the patch in [0]. Has there been some change to Qt in the meantime that could trigger this? What can I do to debug this further? Thanks for your help!
