Preparing updates for 3.5.13
by Slávek Banko 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hello everyone, since the release 3.5.13.1 enough time has elapsed, and so we have included the first set of patches for a future release 3.5.13.2. Final version release date is not yet determined. Those who continue to use my PPA probably already have the update installed. Here is a detailed list of backported patches: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2… Along with the update packages I also again expanded the number of supported distributions for stable branch - after earlier announced Ubuntu Quantal now are also available packages for Debian Wheezy. https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… Please test it :) Comments and suggestions welcome. Happy New Year to you wishes Slavek --

Icon themes for TDE
by Alexandre Couture 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi everyone! I wanted to share 2 icon themes for updating the look of TDE: -Crystal SVG Updated http://www.filefactory.com/file/2sm4lju0j1ap/n/crystalsvg_zip This icon theme comes from PCLOS MiniME 2008 (KDE 3.5.x). I don't know if it is an official update of the old Crystal SVG or a theme made by the PCLOS team, but it is a more modern version of it. -Oxygen for KDE3 http://www.filefactory.com/file/5w394u74iua9/n/oxy-tde_zip This is the theme used in my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster. It comes from kde-look.org I personally think that keeping the old Crystal SVG theme as the default theme is not good for the TDE project. The people who haven't used TDE will think that it is always the same old project as KDE3. It just looks too old and of course, the more actual Oxygen icon theme will go this way one day or another, but as of now, I think that it would be a good idea for TDE to use Oxygen or another icon theme, at least this updated version of Crystal SVG. The same idea goes with the general theme. We aren't used to the ''vanilla KDE 3.5.10'' these days. Themes with big lines separating GUI elements aren't used anymore and even during the KDE 3.5.x days, almost no distros used the default theme. This is just my personal opinion... -Alexandre

Hi All, The KMix window offers VIA8237 or PulseAudio as mixer in a popup menu. The default value is PulseAudio. How can I fix it to VIA8237 by default, please? Thank you Patrick

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? Thanks in advance, Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ 38.238N 104.547W | config.com | DM78rf | SK

settings for a 1024x768 monitor that Trinity insists on recognising as 800x600.
by Lisi Reisz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

The main problem at the moment is that I cannot set up KMail because I can't get at the bottom of the window. :-( It is the first time that I have used dvi-d and the Iiyama Prolite E431S has heretofore been recognised well in VGA. I obviously need an x-org file, but am not sure how to achieve this at this stage. TDE 3.5.13.2 on Squeeze, just finished installing and am trying to set it up. NVIDIA GTX 650Ti 1GB Graphics Card. Nouveau is installed. As a pro-tem measure, can anyone remind me how to move a window above the top of the monitor so that I can get at the bottom and click "apply"? :-( Thanks, Lisi

Slávec's tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1
by Patrick Serru 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Happy New Year to all Thank you, Slavek, for this beautiful Christmas gift that was the "tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso". Everyone will have read some bitterness in my reports on the using TDE / Fedora17. I only have good things to say (until now) on installing from the CD Trinity and its operation, until the closing session window, with it's TDE icone! I even thought that I would start my everyday "Oss 11.1" with the Grub freshly installed! But that dream was too deep! So no screen definition problem / unstability ( /-: but I have booted only once). I will probably inhibit SeLinux as soon as possible. With Fedora, things have been much improved after the system updates. But with Ubuntu-12/TDE, I have not found the graphical update tools, the name of which I've forgotten, in the "10.10 TDE enterprise". It seems to me that there were several of these tools. Do I have to do these updates, before continuing migration? Thank you, Slavek, for working on TDE. Patrick Oups: Sent yestuday to trinity-announce at lists.pearsoncomputing.net

My apologies! I had to use Yahoo's web mail for my previous post and I'm not sure the quoting worked as well as it should have. I think Yahoo mail favors Microsoft's top posting scheme. Andy

Text with icons on KMail toolbar. Squeeze + TDE 3.5.13.2
by Lisi Reisz 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Happy New Year, all! A few months ago I saw that it was possible to put text with the icons on the KMail toolbar and breathed a sigh of relief. I could at last move my husband from Icedove (Thunderbird) to KMail, without being cruel to him, and my life would get a whole lot easier. I could finally have him on Maildir not Mbox and could remove the viruses he loves downloading, without destroying half his email. He downloads viruses with gay abandon, and whilst they do not hurt him, he has Windows using friends. I am about to set his new computer up. I am looking at things on my computer to refresh my memory. And the text has disappeared again! I am really sad about this. Does anyone know where it has disappeared to or where I ought to be looking? I hope that the problem is PEBKAC, and thus easily solved with your help. It is KMail 1.9.10 on TDE 3.5.13.2. Please help! I can't face another eternity of trying to protect his friends from viruses on Icedove. I tend to get cowardly and not run a virus check. :-( I have Googled and Googled. I have been Googling for a week or two. :-( He is away, and I want to have it set up properly for him when he gets home on Thursday. Thanks, Lisi P.S. I once found seven little .exe files sitting in his home directory doing nothing!! They were easy to delete. :-)
