kdm authentication failures
by Alan 27 Dec '11

27 Dec '11

Hello, I can't get kdm to authenticate my user. I built kdebase from revision 1236975, and I configured it as follows: mkdir build; cd build cmake .. \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_ALL=On \ -DBUILD_DOC=Off \ -DWITH_SHADOW=On Yet I am unable to authenticate my user. This system doesn't have pam. This used to work with kde 3.5.10 when I ran configure with --with-shadow. Suggestions?

icedove/iceweasel gui wrong font size & display switching
by Nicolas Bercher 03 Jul '11

03 Jul '11

Hi, I have some annoying gui font sizes problems with icedove 3.0 (i.e. thunderbird) and iceweasel 4.0 (i.e. firefox) under Trinity on Debian Squeeze. I use a laptop (1280×800) with a docking station and an external 19" screen (1280*1024). When I plug the laptop on its docking station and change display settings to use the 19" screen, everything resizes correctly (the desktop, trinity apps, etc.) except iceweasel and icedove that begin to use very huge fonts sizes in gui display (menus, toolbars, etc.). When I set display back to the laptop screen, the issue is still there. Recently, I upgraded to iceweasel 4.0 and I remember that I didn't have this issue with iceweasel 3.5.x. So I guess this might be linked to a wrong integration of gtk (libgtk2.0-0, versions above 2.10) into Trinity. Are there too many new features in gtk that are not well handled by gtk-qt-engine-trinity? You'll a screenshot of the situation here: http://users.klvb-larve.org/nico/bugs/icedove-wrong-font-size.png Advice are welcome! Nicolas PS: more details on the icedove & iceweasel versions: I got iceweasel 4.0 (4.0.1-1~bpo60+1) thanks to this backport repository available from mozilla.debian.net: http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports/iceweasel-4.0 i386 Packages I use the Debian stable version of icedove: 3.0.11-1+squeeze2

nm-applet does not work anymore Lucid
by Uwe Brauer 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello I just installed successfully Trinity over Kubuntu 10.04 on an IBM Laptop. Now I have a problem with the networkmananger. When I want to connect to wireless net with WPA2 enterprise it cannot connect, it is a special type of connection type called eudoroam and networkmananger always had problems, while nm-applet had not. (WPE is not a problem) In jaunty I could use nm-applet, but when I try to execute is here in Lucid I obtain An instance of nm-applet is already running. But there is not. Thanks Uwe Brauer

keyboard failure
by Nicolas Bercher 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi, Since a few days I regularly have troubles with my keyboard under Trinity: it doesn't work anymore after some time, except for a few combinations like ctrl-alt-suppr, ctrl-alt-f1, and the leds are still responding (num & caps lock, etc.) but *I cannot type texte anymore*. I can still switch to tty1 and use my keyboard normally in there. Since the mouse is responding normally under X, I can also launch a new X session (via the "T menu") and experience that the keyboard is working well on the kdm-trinity login screen. So this really looks like a Trinity issue or, at least, a Trinity x-session related issue. I use Debian squeeze and Trinity on a laptop and an usb keyboard. Note that: - the laptop sometimes has heat problems and the "X screen" gone crazy, I think becasue the video chip is too hot (often the case on laptops... and that's a shame). But, I'll be surprised if this keyboard issue is linked to hardware issue because the keyboard is working everywhere else, - the behavior is exactly the same on the laptop's built-in keyboard, - plugging out/in the keayboard has no effect, - plugging in another keayboard has no effect. I don't know what to do with that. I found nothing related in the main log files. Maybe this is a race hardware issue... Any advice or tracing tricks would be appreciated. Thank you for reading. Nicolas

Kdesktop crash on login on Archlinux
by Sanne 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm currently trying out Archlinux in a qemu virtual machine and installed the binary Trinity 3.5.13 64 Bit svn packages. Thanks a lot for those! I'm getting a kdesktop crash on login. It is asked on the Archlinux Trinity wiki page that people with this issue should should let the page author know about it, but I'm not sure where. I hope this is the correct place. Research brought me to this entry in the Trinity bug tracker: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456 Might this be the same issue and already fixed? In that case, I just have to wait for updated Arch packages, right? Thanks, Sanne
