Printing problems
by Brad Alexander 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi, I am having a problem setting up printing on my daughter's computer, which is running Debian/lenny. She got an HP Deskjet 3050 wireless printer, and CUPS sees it just fine, however, when I try to print a test page from cups, it says Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! However, whenever I try to print a test page from within Trinity, using kcontrol -> Printers, I get the following message: A print error occured. Error message received from system: cupsdoprint -P 'HP_DJ_3050' -J KDE Print Test' -H '127.0.0.1:631' -U 'user' -o 'multiple-document-handling=separate=documents-uncollated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' " execution failed with message: successful-ok Any idea whats going on here and how to fix it? My other problem is that I don't have physical access to the box, only over secure connection. Thanks, --b

LMDE: kdm-trinity
by HHa 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I have installed kdm-trinity only. If I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-trinity I get kdm and kdm-trinity offered with kdm marked red. When I choose kdm-trinity, I can see that /etc/X11/default-display-manager has been overwritten but cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager gives /opt/trinity/bin/kdm What is wrong? -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Ohne Zensur suchen: http://suche.amnesty-bergedorf.de/ ökologisch suchen: http://www.ecosia.de Das heutige Motto: Man kann gar nicht so dumm denken wie manche Leute sind.

Terribly buggy
by Volker Wysk 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hello I've changed from KDE4 to Trinity, because KDE4 is so buggy. Now I'm trying to set up everything, but Trinity appears to be very buggy too. Everything worked fine when I was using KDE 3.5, but now it's a mess. I'm wondering it Trinity and KDE4 get in each other's way. - I can't set the screen's resolution, refresh rate, or gamma value. It used to be configurable via the control center, but the controls disappeared from there. You can use System/KRandRTray to set the resolution and refresh rate, but it won't remember the setting. - Amarok crashes since a few days. A few seconds after you start a song, it generates a segmentation fault. I've tired it in KDE4, but it's the same. I've removed and installed the amarok package, but it's still the same. I've removed all amarok related configuration files (those with "amarok" in the name) from ~/.trinity and from ~/.kde, but it stays the same. Of course the crash manager crashes, when you try to report the bug. :-> - KMail crashed ("aborted") immediately after starting it. When you started it in the terminal, you even got some information about the cause: kmail(5507)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: !!!!!!! ERROR !!!!!!! - KHTML default stylesheet version mismatch. Aborting. Check your installation. File used was: /opt/trinity/share/apps/khtml/css/html4.css. Expected STYLE_VERSION 1 Then I've tried it in KDE4, and - bingo - it works again, even after going back to Trinity. - When logging out of Trinity, there sometimes appears an error message that some policy is faulty (I have to write the message down). When logging into KDE4, and into and out of Trinity again, the message disappears. - The font sizes have a life of their own. Sometimes when I log in, they are huge, and mess up the layout (amarok, for instance). Sometimes they are tiny. When I start amarok, and I get huge fonts, it fixes itself when I quit and start amarok again. I can configure the fonts in the respective program's settings, but only part of the fonts can be configured there, and changes take effect only sometimes, or only for some font settings. I know that there are some fonts, to be configured in the control center. But that works only sometimes. There are a lot of places where the fonts are almost unreadaby small (the menus, for instance). I've tried to configure them, but it doesn't work, or it works and goes back again. This isn't a bug report. I have to take a closer look, first. I wonder if I'm the only one with all of these problems. If not, how can you live with it? But from what I've seen on the net, Trinity should be quite stable and useable. So what's going on here??

[FAQ] Trinity, Ubuntu and sudo
by Vincenzo Romano 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi all. I'd like to give trinity a test under my Ubuntu installation. By following the directions seen here: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#ubuntu I end up in an attempt to remove sudo which is needed by my own stuff (and by Ubuntu itself). Is there a way to avoid removing sudo? Thanks in advance. -- Vincenzo Romano at NotOrAnd Information Technologies Software Hardware Networking Training Support Security -- NON QVIETIS MARIBVS NAVTA PERITVS

Keys change function (Trinity+Squeeze)
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hi! I've (still) some problems with keys/keyboard mapping on trinity, and I do not know where to look at: xine-ui: <cursour-up> does not work. strange as it is, i can assign a function to <cursor-up> using xine's setup dialog. terminator: <ctrl>+<y> is translated to the sequence <cursor-up>,<end>. Both effects do not show when I run fvwm, so the "bad guy" is hidden in trinity. But where? Any suggestions? Nik

No drag and drop into Firefox 4
by sanne＠lavabit.com 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi all, I tried the recently released Firefox 4.0 binary from Mozilla.org on my (old) Ubuntu 9.10-based system with Trinity 3.5.11 (64 Bit). I found that I can't drag and drop files from Konqueror into Firefox 4 to open them. I filed a bugreport [1] for Firefox at mozilla.org and did some tests with Trinity 10.10, Kubuntu 10.10, and also with non-Qt applications on all systems. I found that drag-drop open files in Firefox 4 works with every application that is not Qt3 based, and doesn't work with Qt3 based programs, regardless of desktop environment. It works for Firefox 3.x. I promised to ask here if anybody would be willing to test (in case it's just me) and report back at the bugreport, so I'd appreciate any input from here. The Firefox developer who answered me also would take input from the Trinity developers, if there's something he could do on the Firefox side. I read that there's a port of Trinity to Qt 4 on the way, so maybe this problem might sort of go away on it's own someday. :) Should I also file a bug report at the Trinity bugtracker? I'd appreciate any input on this issue. Thanks, Sanne [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645492
