desktop icons
by Lisi 29 May '12

29 May '12

Hello all! Next problem (a minor one this time): how do I put an icon of an application on the desktop when the application is not in the menu? The application is definitely there; it can be started from the launcher. But Kappfinder doesn't find it and it isn't in the menu. In case it is relevant, the required icon is a shortcut to Evince on TDE 3.5.13 on Debian Squeeze. Thanks. Lisi

A Sincere Thank You!
by Marvin L Jones 29 May '12

I want to thank whoever fixed konqueror in Trinity 3.5.13.1(.axis) to once again support flash! I just discovered this by accident. :-) Heretofore I've been bumping along with Ubuntu karmic and Trinity/kde 3.5.11 and had was in the habit of clicking up Firefox whenever I had a 'complicated' web page to visit. A BIG thank you to whoever got that solved, and a BIG thank you to all the developers on the Trinity team.

Problems with Icedove on Squeeze and Trinity 3.5.13 with Slávek's repository added
by Lisi 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hello, everybody :-) This is a fresh installation and I am still setting it up. All seemed to be well until I tried to launch Icedove. A small icon followed the mouse, no other result. I purged and reinstalled a couple of times, still no luck. So I purged, removed some gunk (files an directories) that was still there and installed the mozilla.debian version of Icedove. Still the same. This time I thought to keep some of the error messages, where there were any. They are below, in the order in which I did them: not very logical I'm afraid. Before I purge and install from source, possibly/probably with the same result, can anyone see what the problem is, and how I should resolve it?

Slávek's repository
by Lisi 28 May '12

28 May '12

I thought that I remembered that Slávek's patches for TDE 3.5.13 were now available in the form of a repository, but cannot find the reference in spite of spending some time searching. Could some kind soul point me the way - either to the imagined repository or to the patches, before I pull out the last of my hair? - which is falling out quite enough under its own steam. It doesn't need my help. :-( Thanks, Lisi

KDE4 :-(
by Lisi 26 May '12

26 May '12

I have a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze with LXDE and TDE 3.5.12. I seem to have a fair bit of KDE4 junk clogging up my system. I can't remember how I got rid of it in the past. Can I just use find or locate with grep rm? This is someone else's computer, so there is a limit to how much I want to mess around! Though I could obviously reinstall. Lisi

I just cannot upgrade from the main nightly build repos. Is there a mirror?

Slavek: ~slavek-banko/+archive/axis
by Marvin L Jones 24 May '12

24 May '12

Salvek, Two questions about: https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis When selecting Lucid (Ubuntu 10.04), is this the _full_ respository for upgrading Trinity 3.5.12 to 3.5.13? I am thinking that this is so. But, I wanted a confirmation before I go and mangle up my system. :-) Question #2: Does this PPA contain any/all backports that you been so kind in building from the current 3.5.14 development? If not, do you have (any) backports for the Lucid release? Thank you very much!

Suggestion: a list of distros with TDE
by Alexis PM 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hello! I propose the next suggestion: Place on TDE's website in a visible place (eg between Downloads and Screenshots), a list of all distros that have Trinity as desktop environment in its ISOs. I know 4: * Exe GNU/Linux ( http://exegnulinux.net ): Debian live CD with graphical installation and only free/libre software by default. * Porteus ( http://porteus.org ): Slackware based, the Slack's community continuation. It use TDE in the x86 version (KDE4 in the x86_64 version). * Trinity-Kubuntu ( http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages ): Ubuntu remaster with TDE. * WifiSlax ( http://www.wifislax.com ): Slax / Porteus based with wireless security auditory focus. Best regards!

Tim: cannot upgrade 3.5.11 to 3.5.12
by Marvin L Jones 21 May '12

21 May '12

Tim, Two months ago you were nice enough to pass along URLs for the the apt/sources of Trinity 3.5.12 to allow me to upgrade the Trinity 3.5.11 on my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (and, then, ultimately upgrade to 3.5.13.): You said: >Try this: > >deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu >lucid main >deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu >lucid main >deb >http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu >lucid main >deb-src >http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu >lucid main It fails for me: jonesy@nix4:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade : : all non-Trinity ref's deleted : Get:9 http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release.gpg [316B] Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release.gpg Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US Get:17 http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release [22.1kB] Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Packages Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Sources Hit http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Packages Hit http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Sources Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Packages Ign http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Sources Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Packages 404 Not Found Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Sources 404 Not Found Fetched 13.1MB in 1min 10s (184kB/s) W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 43F1DC4F2B8638D0 W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu… 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu… 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I tried it yesterday during your ISP outage, and it failed abdly (of course.) But the above is from today (Sunday) around 1800 UTC. How can I get to 3.5.12 so that I can (finally) upgrade to 3.5.13?
