Problems in vlc 1.1.3 on Squeeze+Trinity 3.5.13 on VB 4.1.6r74727 on Lenny
by Lisi 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello all! I'm afraid that I have no idea where the problem lies. It is probably relevant that I am a complete ignoramus where multimedia is concerned. I need to run vlc simultaneously with wireshark in order to analyse the traces for an assignment in an online course I am doing. I can run Wireshark on Trinity on Squeeze, but not on Lenny. (I believe there is a bug.) I can run vlc in Lenny, but not in Trinity/Squeeze. And yes, they are different versions. See below for extract from Squeeze syslog. All suggestions welcomed!! Even RTFM, so long as the admonition includes which %^&*!!$ Manual to read! If there is no way it could be Trinity, I'll take my request elsewhere, but I didn't like to cross-post. And I find life more comfortable if I don't force insecure KDE4 users to make snide remarks about KDE3 lovers! Thanks, all.

About translations: Turkish Translations
by atilla ontas 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hi. I'm <tarakbumba> a Turkish translator of Mandriva Linux, Mageia Linux, Arch Linux and some other projects. I would like to translate TDE into Turkish. First of all, is TDE have a web translation interface, like pootel, transifex, launchpad etc.? If it has, would you mind to give their adresses? Also, is there a wiki page to explain translation process?

KDE-Trinity 3.5.13 hung my machine
by Ken Heard 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As part of upgrading from Debian Lenny to Squeeze, I also upgraded from KDE-Trinity 3.5.12 (Lenny version) to 3.5.13 (Squeeze version). After the upgrade finished, I tried to open Konqueror; the result was a hung machine. - From as virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) I rebooted the machine. On reboot the GUI did not appear; the machine opened with the shell bang. I the logged in as root and ran the command "startx". The result was a solid blue screen at ctrl-alt-F7; further action was impossible. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Specifically what should I do to get the login screen so that I can log in as a user?

running apps as root
by Greg Madden 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

TDE 3.5.13 Debian Squeeze I was trying to run 'kcron' as root, from a root prompt in konsole. 'kcron' is not found, I have to use full path '/opt/trinity/bin/kcron'. This brings up kcron but trying to add a cron job causes a crash, the crash handler pops up. I get this info from the terminal: "In file /build/buildd/kdeadmin-trinity-3.5.13/./kcron/ktview.cpp, line 372: Out of memory KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kcron path = <unknown> pid = 4347 kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'drkonqi' from socket. Could not load library! Trying exec.... kdeinit: PID 4413 terminated." I noticed that using the 'export' command, there is no reference to KDEDIR(S) or PATH to the Trinity stuff. I installed the metapackage 'kdebase-trinity', 'kdepim-trinity' and a few apps, not the full DE. It seems like kcron can't find a library. what sets up the TDE environment for root ? -- Peace Greg

Upgrades to TDE 3.5.13 ...

So, if some bugs and corrections are being done by the devs, why not let the users get them now, instead of waiting 6 or more months? The point here, is that with Debian, people are used to get new upgrades, new versions, and more important, bug corrections via apt-get, _all the time_. So, maybe Trinity lacks here is a maintainer for the Debian packages, so that they can been regularly upgraded, at least if not with new features, with bug corretions and general polishing?? Thanks.

Debian Wheezy bug reporting ?
by Greg Madden 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Caveat, I am not advocating theTrinity devs support Wheezy.. before it is time. Fact of life for Debian users, it is hard to not track testing (Wheezy now) . This brings up what to do with bugs found while using TDE-latest on Wheezy. My testing platform is VirtualBox , I run stable as host, so I am not affected by the bugs. I see a few minor bugs, mostly depends on Squeeze versions that no longer exist, and TDE appps do not recognize the version bump. I can post what I find to this list, as others have done, to help us users. Reporting to the bug tracker ? -- Peace, Greg
