konqueror settings disapear
by Frank Lienhard 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi List, I installed kde-trinity and was about to configure konquerors file settings. The goal was to show previews of the picture of an inserted sdcard. Somewhere I tried to switch the file assosiation tothe embedded viewer. From that point on I don't get the settings menu anymore. If I open it via settings- configure konqueror I get a window with no content and a title "empty page". Any advice how to debug that? It's a debian wheezy, from which I try to run konqueror inside a LXDE session, many because TDE isn't starting at all... (getting a logout while/after TDE ist initializing peripherials)

Hello. compiz-fusion-icon package in raring (Ubuntu) is broken and doesn't install. However compiz fusion starts up fine through the Desktop Effects dialog and I get wobbly windows and everything. Everything works except that I can't resize windows, nothing happens when I try. I can't tell how to configure compiz fusion. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Linux Mint won't shutdown after installing Trinity
by Rahul Jain 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Hello. I'm a regular user and after installing Trinity with Raring packages in Mint 15, system won't shutdown/restart but hangs at plymouth. Is there a workaround for this because I have to use REISUO to shutdown and REI part doesn't work because for some reason it's disabled. Please help. (I've installed and reinstalled several times and issue occurs only with trinity desktop. I usually install only kdebase-trinity with kmix-trinity and compiz-trinity packages. Thanks.

Set relative path in .directory?
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I've been archiving files this week-end. I use external drives, IcyDock removable enclosures and several removable discs. Given the price of harddiscs today, I don't loose time compressing, I copy the files into directories, and for some (e.g. pictures) I like to set a directory icon in Konqueror. There are several USB devices connected to my computer, and depending on the situation the enclosure is not mounted on the same mountring point. Maybe I could solve that with UUIDs but it's not worth the trouble. My point is that setting an icon in Konqueror creates a .directory textfile in the directory that contains two lines: [Desktop Entry] Icon=<path-to-the-icon-file> This path is an absolute path, such as /extusb/directoryname/subdirectoryname/iconname If the mount point changes, the icon is not shown. One way to do is to centralize these icons, but then it won't work if I use the enclosure with another computer. To have my directory icons shown correctly, what I do is put the icon in the directory and manually edit .directory to read [Desktop Entry] Icon=./icon.png I was wondering if others have the same "trouble" and if it would make sense to suggest to change these path to relative ones. Have a nice day, Thierry

KIOExec error playing DVD
by Dan Youngquist 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

I'm trying to make a DVD play in vlc when inserted. The command line is set to 'vlc /dev/dvd', which works perfectly in XFCE, but in trinity it results in an error box with title 'Error - KIOExec' and contents '/media/cdrom0 is a folder, but a file was expected.' Clearly I'm missing something, but I have no idea what. Any hints? Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm
