Hello,
TDE 3.5.13 on Centos 5.7
Did you get man kio working ?
If I put man:ls (or #ls) on konqueror, I get a choice between several ls man
pages:
/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1p/ls.1p.gz
That's OK.
But when I click on one of them nothing happens. I can't get any man page in
konqueror.

There is an updated exelinux_squeeze_trinity iso (661 MB)
http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/trinity/exelinux_squeeze_trinity_…
The associated website is also updated
http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/
It is produced from a clean debbootstrap, is current Squeeze with all
security updates and TDE 3.5.13 The installer and other custom scripts
are updated also. It's intended to keep it GPL and below 700MB
As a whole load of gnome libs to sack were found, French and German
language support for TDE are now included, in addition to English and
Spanish.
It is *not* an "official" TDE build and is supported by nobody but me,
if even that!
It's untested beyond that it boots and installs here, so testers
appreciated.
Regards,
David
The Trinity LiveCD worked well to install TDE 3.5.13 with
Kubuntu Maverick, on a fresh system. Now I wish to upgrade
to Trinity with Natty and I'm unsure of the procedure. Should
I (add) or (substitute) the four 'Natty' lines to
sources.list? Or should I just run <sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade> using the Maverick-configured sources.list? Or
have I missed (the, some) point?

On my laptop Lenovo g550 brightness control via kpowersave set active
scheme and via laptop Fn key doesn't work.It works in gnome 3 and kde4.

Hello Timothy,
I just want to say that you are doing a marvelous job with TDE. Words
cannot express how happy I am with TDE. Basically, TDE is a dream come
true. I don't know whether you get any feedback or not but as a developer
I know that feedback is extremely important - it motivates developers do
more coding and improve their work!
I had been looking for a proper Linux Desktop since the time I first
started experimenting with Linux - 1998. Every single DE until TDE came
out has/had been a major disappointment. It has been a major
disappointment because basic concepts of desktop computing such as
Drag&Drop, Search, Copy/Paste, Print Screen etc have not been met and are
not working and this happens right now with some well known DEs with
their latest releases...
TDE however is addressing all of these concepts and goes way beyond. TDE
meets and it well
exceeds the basic concepts of desktop computing!
What I like about TDE?
- I can drop any icon/shortcut to the panel - be it a folder, shortcut,
image or a URL from any window regardless what toolkit it is using (I have
tried both GTK and QT)! I can even drag browser URLs into the panel! The
basic concepts of desktop computing!! This is like Windows!! Well done!!
- When I drag the object/icon on the panel (rearranging icons), the space
between the icons is evenly adjusted automatically between the
shortcuts/icons! This is simply awesome!! The basic concepts of desktop
computing!! Well done!!! Basic concepts of desktop computing are actually
working in TDE! Well done!!
- The Search field on the top right of KNQ is awesome! Well done!! It
works better than Windows and it is very quick!!
- Find Files and Folders dialog - Well done!! Well done!!!
- The Search in the T menu - awesome work!! Well done! (I just wish it
could be moved to the bottom but no biggie) - Well done!!
- Print Screen!! Well done!! It works from any app from any widget
regardless which widget has the focus! I have seen poor attempts in the
past where some DEs try to make Print Screen work like in Windows but the
funny thing is it only works when the desktop itself is focused. Once it
looses the focus it does not work. The PRNT SCR stroke is not captured.
Yours however is done the right way! It seems to bypass the focused widget
ignoring its keystroke events and it travels all the way and it captures the
screenshot. Again, basics of desktop computing. *Well Done!!!*
- Mounted drive icons on the desktop - the tooltip and the property dialog
box show the device they are pointing to - e.g: /dev/sdb2 - Well done!
Marvelous job!! With other DEs I have to use long-cuts to find out
what/where everything is! Again, well done!!!
- Your Quick Launch applet on the panel - again, it works pretty much
like the Windows one with full Drag&Drop support from any window and
spaces between icons are automatically and evenly adjusted - Well done!!!
- Right click context menus from the T menu (Copy To Run Dialog, Edit
Menu Entry
etc) - Absolutely marvelous!!
I just donated to show my support. Please continue the excellent work!
Words cannot express the high quality of your work. I can see true
professionalism and potential! Well done!!
Any way, please keep up the current path and do not make the same mistake
other teams have done. The basics of desktop computing in other DEs are
not working
and they give us these flashy and useless special effects instead!
Usability first,
special effects second, not the otherway around!
Ignore negative comments and trolls - there aren't any negatives in TDE.
Any negative comments are made by people that don't understand the basic
concepts of desktop computing. However, You do! TDE does, you've done it
right, You are on the right path. Keep up! TDE has done it right!
(I think based on my feedback, you can tell I have been a Windows user
but with
TDE, *literally*, that is changing. Again, awesome work, keep up the
good work. I am a hobby developer BCB, VC++, AMX, I might even contribute
with code (C++ here) in the future).
P.S. You need to do something about your site - it looks a little bit
plain!! My colleague at work said, "before I start using a product, I
first look at their web site and if it doesn't look professional...etc
etc". Either way I explained to him that "TDE is an exception" and I
encourage him try it. Don't make the site bloated, just make it less plain.
P.S. I introduce TDE to people at work, showing them screenshots and
pointing them
at the download URL. Everyone of us should all do the same and I
encourage every single
one of us to donate and support this project.
Cheers

Hi again !
After I copied my .kde directory to .trinity, my old KDE3 settings are
back. But some issues remain. here is the list of issues I've seen so
far (any help is very welcome!) in none particular order.
The most important items below are: 2, 6.2, 6.3, 8, 11 and of course 1 ;)
1. I got a message "KFish applet can't be installed on the panel", and
no fish is visible :-(
2. The 'konsole' application (KDE's xterm replacement) can't be started:
ilya@kalma:~$ which konsole
/opt/trinity/bin/konsole
ilya@kalma:~$ konsole
konsole: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4: undefined
symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv
3. I have two panels, one for buttons, keyes, kfish and menus; and the
second one for tasks. This second one was configured in KDE to be two
items high, but now its height is just one item ("item" in my definition
is a rectangle representing a single task).
Fixed it manually by setting "Size" from "Default" to "Custom 52 pixels"
4. There are some KDE4 artifacts:
4.1 A PSI program successfully attached to the panel, but the drop down
menus look like those in KDE4 and the UI of the psi program itself looks
like KDE4. I would like to know if it's the expected behavior. Basicaly
I have nothing against it (ok, it's ugly, but I can live with it), but
it's better to know for sure.
4.2 An application called "Nepomuk Strigi File Indexing" (which I never
seen before) is started, attached to the panel and doing some massive
input/output. The UI looks like KDE4. I would like to know how to get
rid of it.
5. Background pictures disappeared, only one of six is visible (I'm
afraid they were original KDE3 pictures and just gone during the system
update)
6. Massive screen saver issues:
6.1 My previously used screen saver (displaying failure messages from
different operation systems) disappeared.
6.2 In the unlock dialog there is no keyboard layout button. This is a
really critical issue: once locked with Russian layout I can't switch to
a Latin one, thus I can't enter the password and unlock
6.3 When screen saver is starting only one physical display (out of two)
is cleaned, so everyone can read information on the secondary display
(which is in kinda "read-only" mode, so no use input possible). This is
a pretty heavy issue as well.
7. Trinity KDM is not working (probably crashing, but I've not
investigated much), and "trinity" is not appearing in the default KDM
window manager selection list. So I've stopped display manager, created
a simple .xinitrc script ("exec /opt/trinity/bin/startkde
2>trinity.stderr >trinity.stdout") and now starting trinity with
"startx" command.
8. The output of .xinitrc contains couple of "symbol lookup error:" lines:
8.1 for /opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit: symbol lookup error:
/opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4: undefined symbol:
_ZN7QObject21objectTreesListObjectEv
8.2 konsole: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4:
undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv
(see issue 2 above).
8.3 See item 11 below.
9. Very annoying issue, but I've seen it in KDE3 already: while moving a
window inside of secondary physical monitor, it's not possible to move
it to the upper area: window manager only allows to keep it *below* the
panel (but the panel is occupying only the primary monitor, thus the
piece of the secondary monitor is not used by application windows. There
is a work around: maximize window in question, then it's taking the
whole secondary monitor.
10. Fuzzy clock in the bottom panel doesn't use the font it was using in
KDE. I tried to fix it, something very bad happened, see item 11.
By the way: how can I restore the panels without logging off and on again?
11. After right-clicking on the clock in the bottom panel and selecting
"configure clock" BOTH panels (top and bottom) disappeared. The last
suspicious message in trinity.stderr is:
kicker [kdeinit]: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkdeui.so.4:
undefined symbol: _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv

Hi !
I've installed trinity today for the first time.
Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably
lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple
of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is:
Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE
settings directory?
Thanks !
