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?

digikam plugins, perhaps (sent again)
by Anthony Winter 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

No answer last time. Does that mean nobody now uses digikam in trinity? ---------------------------previous post-------------------- Digikam 0.9.6 seems to be missing a lot of functions; for example, in Edit mode, Color, Enhance, have no options visible. Transform has a minimal set. I presume that there are some plugins missing. didkam, kipi plugins and showfoto are all installed. uname -a Linux vega 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 04:13:06 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux debian - squeeze. Any pointers to where I should look? cheers anthony

network is down when hibernating, WICD does not work.
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello I asked around and it seems that the knetworkmanager has a problem with hibernating and then resuming. WICD seems to be an alternative but does not work in trinity, at least when I try to scan the scan option can not be activated. Any comments on this? Thanks Uwe Brauer

unable to mount USB hard drive
by Marvin L. Jones 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

I recently upgraded my netbook from Ubuntu karmic 9.10 to 10.04 LTS, after which I upgraded the installed Trinity 3.5.11. At first everything seemed to be Just Fine. But, I found that when I attempted to connect my external USB hard drive it resulted in a pop-up error message: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist The same USB hard drive mounts (and unmounts) Just Fine on my older karmic 9.10 box with Trinity 3.5.11. (The drive is formatted ext3 and I use it to back up $HOME(s) on my linux boxes.) The netbook is remembering something about the mount attempt, because after a cold re-boot, _without_ the USB drive connected, there remains a mount point: /media/MLJ_USB_1/ -- "MLJ_USB_1" being the label of the USB hard drive. And I cannot `umount` it: "... is not mounted (according to mtab)". `mount` shows: "/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" -- of course the USB drive is NOT connected at all. (The USB drive shows properly as "/dev/sda5 / _ext3_ rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0" on the karmic box.) If I log out of Trinity and into Gnome, I can mount and unmount the drive without a problem. If I leave it mounted -- log out of Gnome and log back into Trinity, it is still mounted, and shows as formatted ext3. If I then (in KDE) unmount it, unplug it, and plug it back in, I get: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist Looking through the Bug List does not yield anything that fits my problem. Then, being paranoid, I checked to see if the same problem existed with the SD memory card socket. Yes, same problem. And, the SD card mounts and unmounts Just Fine in Gnome. What to do?

kcontrol blank
by Tim Williams 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

I've finally managed to produce some working Trinity Mandriva packages (available from http://www.autotrain.org/mdv-kde/mdv2010.2.html). However, i've got a problem with kcontrol, it starts up fine, but it doesn't load any configuration options, so the main config panels are blank. This could be being caused by one of the mandriva patches, rather than being a bug in the Trinity core, but i'd appreciate some suggestions as to what I should be looking for. Other 'lesser' configuation screens, eg "Configure Desktop" and "Configure Panel" seem to work fine.

Trinity and Flash (again)
by Nick Leverton 17 Jul '11

17 Jul '11

Hi, I'm running Trinity 3.5.12 which I've patched with the Flash 10 patch ( http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/r1224648.diff ). This works fine with Flash 10.2, but doesn't seem to work with 10.3 or with the new Flash 11 beta. Symptoms with both are that it segfaults somewhere in the Flash player. I can provide backtraces if helpful. My base O/S is Debian Squeeze, i386 userland and flash plugin running on an amd64 kernel. To help me narrow the problem down, is anyone else experiencing this problem with the newer Flash updates, please ?

Site offline?
by Brad Alexander 16 Jul '11

I upgraded my daughter's desktop to squeeze, and the last step was to install Trinity. Unfortunately, the trinitydesktop.org site is not found in iceweasel, and when I tried to download the key for the repository, I get: # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net--recv-keys 2B8638D0 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 gpg: requesting key 2B8638D0 from hkp server keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 Is there a problem on the site or is it local network problem? Thanks, --b
