KDE 3 in Lenny has gone bonkers
by Lisi 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hello, all. This is a KDE problem, not a Trinity one, but I know of nowhere else that would give me a sympathetic hearing. ("KDE 3 is dead already. Scrap KDE 3 and go to KDE 4.") Bonkers is the best description I can come up with. Applications that were working fine are suddenly not. (In particular Konqueror, but not only Konqeror.) Settings change randomly. The latest, a few minutes ago, was my desktop settings, which have disappeared and the same random KDE one "set up" for all the desktops (4 - and until just now they all had different backgrounds). When I went to check what "configure desktop" showed, I found that my screensaver had been turned off. The most benign reason I can come up with is that the CMOS battery needs changing. Something is obviously on the way out. Motherboard also springs to mind. :-( It could, of course, be software related. I just can't think what! All other ideas and suggestions for solving this gratefully received. If the advice is bin the thing it will only echo my fears. I built this box about 8 years ago, so something crucial dying is not impossible. It would happen now. :-( I am in the middle of something that is important to me, and has a deadline of Monday, which I am not going to meet. I have had to give up driving because my eyesight has deteriorated, I live in the country and my husband (i.e. my transport) is away for the next 2 weeks. My, the gremlins are having fun. ;-( Lisi

printcap?
by Peter Laws 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

If only it were so easy. Maybe it is. I'm on nightly builds on top of Natty. Some rough edges, but definitely usable. One of the rough edges is that the printer wizard has no printer defs. So the question is, which file or files do I need to grab from my old Trinity/Lucid installation (which was done from CD, not nightlies)? Is that even doable? If it was 1991, I could probably just copy /etc/printcap ... :-) Peter -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?

old nspluginviewer issue
by Greg Madden 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

I think this has been around along time, I just haven't used KDE as a DE, or Konq as a browser. The plugin does a signal 11 on flash sites with Konqueror. Can Konq do flash ? nspluginviewer is a dependancy of kdebase & kdecore, -- Peace, Greg

downloading TDE...
by Patrick Serru 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hello everyone, By reading one of the last posts, I thought I could maybe try to compile TDE ... Until now, every time I looked at the documentation, I found far too complicated for a simple French technician. Beginning with CVS, which I find as friendly as a prison door. Finally: re-trying... user @ system :/.../ bin / TDE $ svn co svn: / / anonsvn.kde.org / home / kde / branches / trinity. / A... ... A kdeutils / kdelirc / profiles / Makefile.am svn: Compression of data failed svndiff "Compression of svndiff data failed!" What can I do with this mistake! The problem probably occurred on the server, the client must unpack only, I suppose ... I ask but no matter the answer. TDE is the system that I use as much as possible (I use the old to manipulate sounds with Audacity and sometimes to use LibreOffice). I am not using a virtual machine ... My dream is to compile TDE 3.5.12, on something like Arch Linux or Suse 10.3, that is: a distribution without SELinux. I also had the dream of helping the development of TDE, but you will understand from reading this post that will remain only a dream. There is no question in this post, but where should I indicate the existence of this "Compression of data svndiff failed" error? This is not a bug, is it? I talk about this error here because I noticed that the developers also read this list ... I love TDE an thank the developpers for the nice job they have done and still do. Good luck to everyone, Patrick

cmake problem
by Werner Joss 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

hi all, I'm just trying to figure out how to build cmake based trinity applications from source. svn checkout works ok. cmake is available. also everything to build kde3/trinity stuff from source (at least for auto* based modules). now when I try e.g. to build dolphin from svn (cmake based) I get this: cmake /home/josswern/tmp/kdesvn/dolphin -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- checking for one of the modules 'tqt' CMake Error at cmake/modules/TDEMacros.cmake:20 (message): ################################################# Unable to find tqt! so, I'obviously missing something called tqt anyone here can tell me how to get it ? werner p.s.: perhaps I should better ask on trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net ?

Kubuntu Trinity 10.10, dual monitors with Xinerama?
by Dan Youngquist 04 Oct '11

04 Oct '11

I booted the CD, copied the dual-monitor w/Xinerama xorg.conf from the hard disk to /etc/X11, logged out & back in, and no second monitor or Xinerama. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu; is there some trick I don't know to make this work? -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm
