Q4OS Orion 1.8 release

q4osteam · 2016-11-09 08:35

Q4OS Orion 1.8. has been released, please read http://www.q4os.org/blog.html#news161109

EDIT: We have extraordinarily included the latest TDE 14.0.4 into the Q4OS update, as there are a few critical fixes. We have tested TDE 14.0.4 heavily during its development phase, and concluded this version is safe enough to be received immediately.

EDIT2: LookSwitcher is the first installer, that uses '/opt/program_files/' destination directory structure as described here http://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5094#p5094 . Other installers will follow one by one.

Great work guys!

rafaelramos · 2016-11-09 14:39

Very good!

Waiting anxiously for RPi3 version...

q4osteam · 2016-11-09 15:11

@rafaelramos
Yes, RPi version is going to be released, it should take approx. 2 weeks.

Great job folks - thank you.

Updated just now, so far so good - I did notice a slight error in xsession.errors

[tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running...
[tdebuildsycoca] Reusing existing tdesycoca.
Invalid entry (missing '=') at /usr/share/applications/daithemebackup_q4app.desktop:7
Invalid entry (missing '=') at /usr/share/applications/daithemebackup_q4app.desktop:8

It may be that deleting the tdesycoca in /tmp will fix that.

UPDATE:-
Nope - error is still there.

Before removing the tdesycoca files I also noticed on the terminal screen (Alt f2) was a line saying
FAILED to start Trinity Display Manager
See systemctl status tdm.service

That was after I rebooted following the update to 14.04, but before removing tdesycoca

After removing tdesycoca that error vanished, but still got the xsession.error issue

I think the invalid entry items are trying to read the lines of the comment as separate instructions, I think I will have to change them to be a single line comments, I don't think it is anything to worry about though as they appear to be working correctly. I will fix and post new version later today

Yes, we can confirm a TDE glitch. It's new in TDE 14.0.4 and it's some kind of systemd services conflict, however it's not too serious. This issue will be solved in the next Q4OS update.

EDIT:
The issue is now fixed automatically after regular update:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Rademes · 2016-11-10 16:43

Got some warnings after executing command $ sudo systemctl disable tdm-trinity.service. Is it OK?

Yes it should be ok. You can check services status after reboot:
$ sudo systemctl status tdm-trinity.service
$ sudo systemctl status tdm.service
Only 'tdm.service' should be active.

Dai_trying · 2016-11-10 21:08

I had the "failed to start trinity display manager" error come up on my machine and decided to do another fresh install to see if the error persists and it doesn't, I'm guessing that a fresh installation does not install the "old" style init.d service.
I do however have these items in my .xsession-errors file

I also have these errors listed

[kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is not available for use (retcode 6).  Check tdmtsak for proper functionality.
tdeio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KickoffSearch/Plugin not found
tdeio (TDEIOConnection): ERROR: Could not write data (pid 1006 process "nit] media /tmp/tdesocket-dai/tdelauncherIfGHYM.")

q4osteam · 2016-11-11 08:01

All of the messages should not influence the system functionality.

'[FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name ...'
Messages comes from TDE hardware helper library, it doesn't conflict with 'dbus' messaging system.

'[kdesktop] SAK driven secure dialog is ...'
Q4OS doesn't use 'SAK' by default, however you could safely enable it by modifying files:
'$HOME/.trinity/share/config/kdesktoprc' line 'UseTDESAK=false/true'
'/etc/trinity/tdmrc' line 'UseSAK=false/true'

'tdeio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KickoffSearch/Plugin not found'
Q4OS doesn't use KickoffSearch Plugin, as it's not available in TDE.

'tdeio (TDEIOConnection): ERROR: Could not write data (pid 1006 process "nit] media /tmp/tdesocket-dai/tdelauncherIfGHYM.")'
You could try to check the process '1006' and paste here some info:
$ ps -ef | grep 1006

Yes I should have said I am experiencing no issues with the system

Again everything is working so I thought the [FIXME] prefix was just for something internal for developers.

Tbh I don't even know what SAK is (I will google it after posting this) so for the time being I will leave it as-is.

Q4OS doesn't use KickoffSearch Plugin, as it's not available in TDE.

I'll ignore this one too

I did try to see the process when I posted but it was no longer available so will try to remember to look straight after reboot to see if I can get more information.

'Secure attention key' - If you enable SAK, you will need to press 'ctrl+alt+del' key combination to be able to login or unlock a desktop session, please see wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_attention_key

Dai_trying · 2016-11-11 11:30

Thanks guys, I'm just reading up on it now, and am not sure if I will use it yet, there does seem to be a few issues with using it although obviously it would make a system more secure (but maybe less stable).

zebedeeboss · 2016-11-12 08:01

Hi All
Superb release installed and working fine. Just got to get used to the Trinity Desktop and themeing. Any pointers to a "Dark" desktop theme would be great.

bin · 2016-11-12 11:03

Best suggestion is to install Dai's settings backup utility - https://www.q4os.org/forum/attachment.php?item=142
Then play - provided you've a backup then no worries.

Themes are just collections of settings and along the way you'll find out how it all goes together.
To get full access to configs please run 'sudo kcmodules --unlock' first.
If you do a search for KDE 3.5 themes you get pointed of to kdelook.org. Some of those themes will work or partially - again it's a learning process.

q4osteam · 2016-11-12 11:07

Thanks bin, for the right advice. In addition, we would recommend to start here:
Control Panel -> Appearance & Themes -> Colors

zebedeeboss · 2016-11-12 13:33

Hi bin and Q4OS Team,

Thanks for the heads up and where to start looking. Backups are always a MUST have

Regards Zeb...

Great work! I think this version is the best. Trouble free experience. After fresh instal, i can work and be productive. No additional software required.
