Running kpdf without trinity (and no admin privileges)
by Nicolas Bercher 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi, I'd like to run trinity parts, at least kpdf, on a machine where I have no admin privileges (it is a Debian Squeeze and runs gnome2). So far, I've: 1. downloaded the following packages: kpdf-trinity_3.5.13-0debian9+r1258283+pr3~squeeze_amd64.deb kdelibs4c2a-trinity_3.5.13-0debian9+r1261449+pr12~squeeze_amd64.deb libtqtinterface_3.5.13-0debian9+r1258011+pr2~squeeze_amd64.deb libqt3-mt_3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze_amd64.deb 2. extracted them using =dpkg-deb -x=: this creates ./usr, ./opt/trinity, etc. 3. tryed to run kpdf: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(find opt/trinity/lib usr/lib -type d | xargs echo | sed "s; ;:;g") opt/trinity/bin/kpdf this sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH=opt/trinity/lib:opt/trinity/lib/mime:opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages:opt/trinity/lib/trinity:\ opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins:opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/styles:\ opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/designer:usr/lib:usr/lib/pkgconfig:\ usr/lib/qt3:usr/lib/qt3/plugins:usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods:\ usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats In the end, kpdf is running but: 1. I throws many errors a start time: 1. complains about dcop server being absent: can I skip this? I found nothing relevant in the kpdf man page 2. could not find mime type "application octet-stream", seems to be related to 3. then says "no mime types installed" 2. file and edit menus have "No text!" names. I guess I can figure out why because kpdf is missing its files (i.e., there's no /opt/trinity/share/apps/kpdfpart/part.rc et al. in the kpdf scope), but I don't know how to fix it. Note that I copied ~/.trinity/share/apps/kpdfpart/part.rc. I'd be glad if someone has the willing to help me polishing this! I really miss kpdf at work! Thank you, Nicolas PS: Would it be possible to install and run parts of trinity from a fakeroot env?

Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13
by Marvin L Jones 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I've been running Ubuntu 10.04/Trinity -- all fat, dumb, and happy. Especially happy. Now, while poking around at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ I see I should be/could be using Trinity v3.5.13. I'm not. I'm running Trinty 3.5.11. sigh... My apt sources: : |$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list |# KDE3 repositories | |deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main |deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main The http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ apt sources list for 10.04/Lucid contains: deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… lucid main So , is it enough to change my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list file to the trinity-v3.5.13 sources and apt-get update/upgrade? Or, will I snafu my nicely running system? Are there any gotchas? Or, do I have to upgrade through trinity-v3.5.12 first -- somehow?

3.5.13: konqueror cannot save site certificates
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Could somebody please verify this? Point konqueror to a site with unknown site certificate, e,g, http://www.ba-ca.at/ Now the dialog "server authentication ..." pups up. Click on "Continue", Next dialog, click on "Permanent". Close konqeror. Open it again, point it to the same address. Again the dialog "server authentication ..." comes up. Nik. -- Mag.

gtk-based apps, trinity and gtk-qt-engine-trinity
by Nicolas Bercher 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hi, I use gtk-qt-engine-trinity on a Debian Squeeze to have gtk-based apps look like qt3 ones. But I encounter "repaint" issues using some gtk based apps but not all of them. For example, iceweasel (firefox), openoffice.org have severe bugs that make menu entries (oo.org) or tabs to disappear (all painted in gray). More precisely: correct graphics appears as appropriate but disappears when the mouse leaves the graphical pane of tabs, menu items, etc. I use iceweasel 7.0.1 and openoffice.org 3.2.1. Is there any fix to this applicable for me? Nicolas

Build kdebase fails - undefined reference to `kdemain'
by Mike Howard 14 Aug '12

Hi All, Buoyed by my success building TDE on Wheezy, using the source, I thought I'd give the latest git another try. Anyway, all goes well until attempting to build tdebase, which fails with the following (snippet); Scanning dependencies of target kcontrol make[2]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make -f kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/build.make kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/build make[2]: Entering directory `/tde/build/tdebase' /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /tde/build/tdebase/CMakeFiles [ 13%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o cd /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol && /usr/bin/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -include tqt.h -I/tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol -I/opt/trinity/include -o CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o -c /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp Linking CXX executable kcontrol cd /tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/link.txt --verbose=1 /usr/bin/c++ -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -include tqt.h CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o -o kcontrol -rdynamic libtdeinit_kcontrol.so /opt/trinity/lib/libkhtml.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkutils.so.1.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkparts.so.2.1.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeprint.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeui.so.4.2.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig /opt/trinity/lib/libtdesu.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1.0.1 /opt/trinity/lib/libkjs.so.1.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdecore.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdefx.so.4.2.0 -ltqt -ltqt-mt -lXrender -lX11 -lz -lXcomposite -lICE -lSM -lutil -lpcre -ljpeg -Wl,-rpath,/tde/build/tdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol: CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp.o: In function `main': kcontrol_tdeinit_executable.cpp:(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `kdemain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [kcontrol/kcontrol/kcontrol] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make[1]: *** [kcontrol/kcontrol/CMakeFiles/kcontrol.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tde/build/tdebase' make: *** [all] Error 2 Anybody any ideas? I've followed the process as per the wiki pretty much as I can so I hope I haven't missed something obvious. I'm building all optionals, just for the halibut!

Mirrors?

Is there a problem with the mirrors? If not, what does a <quote> 403 Forbidden </quote> error mean? Are there any alternative mirrors to: deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main Thanks, Lisi

is there a version of trinity that acually works
by Lou Gogan 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi folks I was delighted when I heard about trinity as I still use kubuntu 8.04 and will never, until death or even beyond, use kde4 or any other developer ego-driven user-unfriendly DE. I followed the instructions on the installation page: http://trinitydesktop.org/installation.php ubuntu section, and after installing ubuntu 11.10 on a spare partition, I entered the commands as instructed. Firstly, there was the known problem with the sudo command which the developers have decided to keep a secret and not edit the installation instructions to add 3 lines of text to help the user. But I was pointed to the bug page and followed the instructions there. I was able to download and start trinity (v3.5.13) and as soon as I clicked on the main menu button the system crashed and the whole panel disappeared leaving a totally blank desktop. Here is here I get really confused. I did have a look at the known bugs and this seems to be a know 'solved'? bug - I think. What is the point in having incorrect instructions to download and install a desktop which doesn't work? If someone said it was a joke created by the kde4 team it would make some sense, they would be getting a laugh at someone who was looking for a real desktop which had the end user in mind, but if this is a genuine 'alternative' then I am at a loss as to why there is any talk of trinity desktop at all. I do understand that the developers are busy working on R14 - the NEXT GREATEST THING - with the WOW factor!!!! (you remember the WOW factor?) but what is the point if the previous version doesn't work? 8:( This seems to be exactly the same attitude towards the end user as the other DE developers, or am I wrong? 8^} Is there a different installation page with instructions of how to obtain a working version of trinity? Is there a working version? Please tell me that I am wrong about everything and there is a simple explanation for all this. AND there is a working version! - hidden somewhere! Or are you the kde4 team having a laugh? !! Thanks Lou

latest axis update breaks settings
by Calvin Morrison 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Slavek, I am running 11.10 and have just updated today. I have run into some issues. First of all, kdesktop is crashing whenever I change a setting, and the settings don't stick. They are also not the settings I had before the update. Also my konsole no longer is using its previous settings. Do you have any idea? Calvin

SSL Error on the Trinity web site
by leee 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Just a heads-up. Clicking "Nightly Builds" on the Trinity web site menu bar results in an SSL Error: "The site's security certificate is not trusted! You attempted to reach quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Chromium cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site." It's invoked because https is specified for access to the nightly builds; is this necessary? Also, I can't help thinking that an unqualified certificate is worse than useless, so why does it even exist? LeeE
