Itty-Bitty NIT
by johnsg＠dreamscape.com 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Tis a nit about the website: To wit: In the list of Official Trinity Binaries we have Installation Instructions. And in those we have these really good, well written instructions, complete with the actual command line texts (thank you for those). But BUT BUUUT! The text in those gray boxes is so !@#$%^ small us old fogeys can't read it. And no, zooming in doesn't help (enough). It really looks elegent, but there is a certain degree of functional challenge here. Also, a lot of the lines seem to be close to the max length that the particular style can display without truncation. I recognize there are a bunch of tradeoffs here, so one possibility might be to have the HTML code repeat the grayed text above/below in a larger font? And yes this really is an itty-bitty nit. Thanks again for Trinity JohnSG

A big "Thank you" to Trinity developers
by Jan Stolarek 15 Dec '13

For the last couple of months I've been pestering developers to package KBibTex for Trinity. I just noticed it's in the repo. Now I can finally upgrade my old OpenSUSE to Debian - a big thank you to all developers for being responsive to user requests! Janek

it being my weel for stupid, elementary questions . . .

. . . is there any quick and easy way, other than dragging and dropping, to put kmenu items (actually, submenu items) in alphabetical order? and possibly set it so that new items take their proper alphabetical place? packages seem to put themselves at the top of the list or else in its midst through some undiscernable formula. thanks in advance for advice in this regard. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Hello list, in the control center - Appearance & Themes - Window Decorations there are 9 options to choose from. In my old System running kde3.5, I have 18. Is there a way to create or import the missing styles, specifically CDE ? tia. kai

not serious, but certainly annoying
by dep 10 Dec '13

hi, people . . . hope all is well with one and all. i've meant to ask about this for a long time, and now as i wait for a print job to complete i have a chance. it is an annoying issue involving konqueror that i hope a little configuration tweak might fix. it has been around for multiple versions now. it's this: let us say that i am using konqueror to look at a directory. i see a pdf file that might be what i'm looking for. i click on it and it opens in the embedded pdf viewer. nope, wrong file. click the up arrow to get back to the directory. only now, it has gone from icon view to detailed list view. i have nothing against detailed list view. i use it often. but it is not welcome to insert itself whenever it feels like it. so, then, the question: how can i get it to remain in icon view after having looked at a pdf in the embedded viewer; else, how to i get it to forego the embedded viewer entirely in favor of some other pdf program, so i keep konqueror going in icon view? hope the question is understandable. thanks. best, -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Annoying Curser Problem
by David Bell 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Greetings, I find that my curser jumps all over the place periodically whilst typing in Kmail. It used to happen whilst I used the Kmail, in various distros using KDE4, and seems to be present when I use Trinity with Ubuntu 12.04. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a remedy? TIA David -- W. Devon ------------ Using GNU/Linux

Wireless connection in Trinity 3.5.13.2
by Lisi Reisz 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

I am having problems with the wireless connection in Trinity 3.5.13.2 My trusty wicd has just let me donw for the first time. KWiFiManager fares no better. The box is a laptop, and must be able to rove - and get connected when doing so. I can launch the connection manually, but it is for someone else and it is mission critical that she should be able to do one click, or at most two, and wireless is launched. What can I do to get this thing launching automatically? The wireless controller is an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG in a Dell Inspiron 9300. Ideas please! Lisi
