by Nicolas BERCHER 01 Oct '10

Hi Trinity users, I just made a simple but really cute theme for the MediaControl Kicker applet. It is based on the control icons of Amarok2. You can found it here: http://users.klvb-larve.org/nico/contrib/kde-applets/mediacontrol/themes/me… I hope Mediacontrol users will enjoy it! Nicolas.

debian testing install
by Denis Prost 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi everyone, I just did a full trinity install on debian testing a few days ago. Things ran smoothly, no problem. Aptitude said that 2 packages had to be replaced by the trinity ones, I said yes and then the install process succeeded. It's good to be back on kde3/trinity, definitely the most functional desktop environment to me. Nice job, Tim, thanks ! Now the few problems I met running it (trinity 3.5.12-0debian7+r1179711) - many strings keeps on being in english, while they where translated in french in kde 3.5.10. For example in kcontrol, all the choices on the left (appearance and themes, desktop, etc.) are in english. Same with the choices on the left in konqueror configuration dialog, or with all the items of the main KDE menu. - the new search field in the main menu is a nice feature but it is very slow (ten seconds response time) - when choosing kickoff menu style, the computer part is all messed up : only the first item is correct, the other ones have strange description text and clicking on them produces a konqueror error (I can send you a screenshot, Tim, if it can be helpful). Anyway, as I said, i am happy to be home, thanks again ! Regards, Denis

You can remove those icons from within the "Device Icons" page. The reasoning behind making them root owned (and therefore impossible to delete from the desktop through "normal" means) is as follows: OLD WAY: User A decides to remove an icon from the desktop. He or she deletes said icon through the delete key and empties the trash bin. User A later on decides that he or she wants the icon back. Since it has been deleted, the only obvious way to get it back is to create a new profile from scratch (most people don't know about /etc/skel). This is not exactly user-friendly! OLD WAY: Developer A notices that one of the icons is broken on some systems, so he decides to change the .desktop file responsible for the icon. However, there is no way to propagate the change to existing user profiles, as /etc/skel is only copied on first login. Therefore, the developer has to instruct people to recreate their profiles, or copy a file from /etc/skel and change permissions on it. This is not user or developer friendly, and acts to make Trinity less accessible to the average user. NEW WAY: User B deactivates the icon through "Device Icons". When User B wants the icon back, it is available in "Device Icons" and can be reenabled with a few mouse clicks. Developer B propagates a .desktop file changes to the system directory where the icons are stored. All users receive the updated icon .desktop file transparently. What I can do is to change the default under Debian to not show the icons by default, however I would like some input from the other Debian users on this list as well. Thoughts? Tim

Peace :) - John I use GDM to manage logins, Window Maker is my window manager, not using a desktop enviroment. I am mainly using kdepim-trinity,kontact-trinity +depends & konsole-trinity. trinity lines from 'export': declare -x \ PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/opt/trinity/bin" declare -x KDEDIRS="/opt/trinity/" declare -x KDEHOME="/home/pabi/.trinity" declare -x MANPATH="/opt/trinity/share/man" declare -x XDG_DATA_DIRS="/opt/trinity/share/:/usr/share/" -- Peace, Greg

aspell in kmail not working
by Greg Madden 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I am running thre latest trinity kdepim 3.5.12, on Debian Squeeze 64 bit, using Wmaker WM. I get the following error when I try to spell check i kmail. "Spell/Aspell could not be started Please make sure you have ISpell or Aspell properly configured and in your PATH" Aspell is properly configured and works for other apps, it is the access to Trinity stuff in /opt that I need to fix. '/opt/trinity/bin' is in my PATH. I can start a kde app in an xterm using ie. 'kmail' Other symtoms include: 'alt+F2" run command does not use '/opt/trinity/bin' to start an app. Setting an application default for content type in Iceweasel requires full path to the kde apps, -- Peace, Greg
