Follow the recommended instructions to minimize +potential problems. + + +Removed dbus policy at_console +A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console. +Because the TDE does not yet contain a policykit agent (this will be addressed +in R14.1.0), a plugdev group policy has been added in the default TDE Hardware +Control daemon dbus configuration. This group should be available on most +systems. To enable communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon, add +users to the plugdev group. +Note: If a policykit is installed but a policykit agent is not +available, it does not work well. In this case, it is advisable to +uninstall policykit to allow the use of dbus rules. + + + +Test failures in r14-xdg-update +If you experience test failures at login time during the execution of +the r14-xdg-update script, please try logging out and logging in again. Most +failures will be automatically fixed. In case of persistent failures that +don't get automatically recovered, please contact the TDE team on their +official channels (mailing lists or IRC). +For example you may experience TEST9 failures if you had previously +edited your TDE menu and there are references to both 'kde-*' and 'tde-*' +files for the same application. This will require manual editing to +determine what is the correct way to fix the problem. + + + + + + +FreeBSD Support +TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial +given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions +of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for +FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or +contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and +applications are always welcome. + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
