Hi I know this isn't exactly a Trinity-centric question but it will eventually apply to it as I switch from KDE3 to TDE. So please bare with me. Does anyone have any experience with SED and PAM? I need to replace the default admin user (arklinux) with 2 new users. I normally use sed -i -e 's,arklinux,NewUser,g' /etc/pam.d/* to change the admin user in PAM. How to a pose it so it adds two more users? thanks Kate

TDE no longer opens after upgrade

by Ken Heard

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have TDE 3.5.13 installed in a Debian Squeeze box. Today I ran "apt-get update" and then "apt-get -upgrade", whereby some 350 packages, including many Trinity packages were upgraded. Soon after I shut down the box. Later I opened it again, but the desktop environment (terminal F7) did not appear. Instead, terminal F1 opened with the login bang. I did however notice in the text which screened by just before the bang appeared a line reading "Starting K display manager : kdm-trinity. I was able to log in as root and as a user; so access to all files was possible, but applications requiring a display would not open. While logged in as route, running startx opened a generic desktop in F7; but I did not know what to do from that point to open a user. Clearly something got broken in the upgrade, but I don't know exactly what or how to fix it. Can anyone tell me what to do to get the desktop back?

openoffice 3.41 vs Libreoffice 3.6.3

by Uwe Brauer

Hello I am running Kubuntu 10.04 with trinity. I have seen that Tim sent a patch to libreoffice to make it work with trinity. What is the state of art of this patch. What is more recommendable, in question of stability, to use openoffice 3.4.1 or libreoffice 3.6.3 Thanks Uwe Brauer

Swiss keyboard in Trinity is German

by Thierry de Coulon

Hello, This is a totally unimportant "issue", but in TDE, when enabling keyboard layouts, you have to look for the Swiss French keyboard under "German", then change its layout to "fr". While this is probably technically right (QWERTZ is the basic German layout) we French speaking Swiss never think of it that way. KDE proposed the keyboard as "Swiss", maybe TDE could revert to this behavior some time.... Thierry

nightly builds on wheezy

by Samuele Carcagno

Hi, how can I install the default TDE environment on wheezy using the nightly builds? The instructions for squeeze: sudo apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity do not seem to work. I'm able to install individual applications, but I have not found a way to install the full desktop environment. Thanks for any help, Sam

Page layout problems with the TDE interface for LibreOffice 3.6

by Alexandre Couture

Hello everyone, For my LibreOffice remaster, I did a nice welcome PDF file with pictures and instructions to put on the desktop of the LiveCD. I did it with LibreOffice on my PCLOS 2012 TDE remaster. I wrote the file, saved it and exported it to PDF. When I opened the PDF file, it looked right as it should, but I wanted to change something in it. So, when I re-opened my .odt LibreOffice file, all of the images that were cropped weren't cropped at the same place and their width and height had changed. I had some arrows to point icons on the pictures and they weren't too at the right place. To check if it wasn't just a bug on my remaster, I opened the file on my regular PC with PCLOS 2012 KDE edition. Te text appeared in the wrong way, exactly as it appeared when I have re-opened my file on the TDE system. To see if it was a PCLinuxOS-related bug, I have put back the formatting as it should for a part of my file, saved and re-opened it. The text was as it should were I have re-made the formatting... All this to say that I think that there is some bugs related to the TDE interface used in LibreOffice. Can I force LibreOffice to use the GTK2 interface (and how?), as is used on all KDE4 systems. Since I use the QTCurve theme with QT3, QT4 and GTK2, it would still be well-integrated. Thank you in advance! -Alexandre
