Trinity Release 3.5.13.1 Remote (vnc) keyboard shift key does not work. Specifically, when connected to Trinity krfb from any remote vnc client, the shift key does not work, except with the 9 (nine) 0 (zero) and , (comma) keys. This renders remote vnc sessions nearly useless. The bug that I am seeing appears to be identical to that described in this debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595283 See also the referenced kde bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182073 What are the chances that this can be fixed in Trinity? -Mike, happy Trinity user, except when connected remotely

Precise/amd64, TDE 3.5.13.1, firefox (and other) problems

by Peter Laws

No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise ii kdebase-trinity 4:3.5.13-1ubuntu0+ax3~precise base components from the official KDE release ii firefox 18.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.3 Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla Patches are all up to date as of this morning (about 1700 UTC). In firefox, a number of dialog boxes ... maybe all of them ... that involve saving a file or browsing for a file are broken. Example: I need Google Chrome for a site that won't work with anything else. The repo line I found is out of date, so I went to their install website. Selected 64-bit deb, get the download dialog, click OK, then nothing. Never shows up no matter whether I accept the default path or change it. Website reacts like it got the "OK, I'm done signal" and progresses to the next page. I thought maybe it was that old problem that was worked around by using the LD_PRELOAD hack, but no (nor renaming /opt/trinity/share/kgtk/preload). Thought they were worth a try before posting.

Add Printer Wizard doesn't work

by Dan Youngquist

This is on David Hare's Exe Debian Wheezy. The Add Printer Wizard stalls on the window that lists all the brands & models. The window opens, but never populates with the lists, no matter how long it sits. Tried on 2 different computers with the same result. Any ideas? Is there another way to add a printer? I don't know how else to do it, except maybe from XFCE. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Eclipse and gtk-qt-application crash

by Patricia J. Hawkins

Hi all, I'm running trinity oneiric I'm trying to run the Eclipse android sdk, and am getting the same problems others have gotten: pjh@pjh-laptop:~/bin/android-sdks/tools$ android sdk KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = gtk-qt-application path = <unknown> pid = 5812 Segmentation fault Eclipse itself runs fine. This is a new installation of eclipse. I've tried uninstalling kgtk-qt3-trinity and rebooting, but that doesn't help. The directory /opt/trinity/lib/kgtk/ is definitely gone, as is libkgtk2.so -- "sudo find /lib /opt /usr -name libkgtk2\* -print" turns up nothing. I would not have a problem with upgrading if that would help. Any suggestions? -- Patricia J. Hawkins

Cannot login using Trinity kdm on openSuSE 12.2

by J. Leslie Turriff

Hi, I installed Trinity in my openSuSE 12.2 on X86_64, using the instructions on your website. With DISPLAYMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/kdm" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and DEFAULT_WM="kdm" in /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager, booting the system displays the Trinity login prompt, but when I enter my username and password, the display just blinks and refreshes the password field. I have looked in /var/log/messages, /var/log/warn, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, xdm.errors and kdm.log, but the only suspicious items I see are in kdm.log: QWidget::setMinimumSize: The smallest allowed size is (0,0) QWidget::setMaximumSize: (unnamed/QDialog) Negative sizes (-1,-1) are not possible Feb 8 13:39:24 kdm_greet[28323] error: Can't open default user face QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::smoothScale: Image is a null image Perhaps one or more of these is causing the issue? Any suggestions on how to proceed are welcome. Leslie

RE: [trinity-users] Cannot login using Trinity kdm on openSuSE 12.2

by J. Leslie Turriff

Quoting Alexandre Couture : Hi! I don't know if you really need to use TDM, but as I had issues at some points with TDM on my PCLOS remaster, I installed GDM (Gnome display manager) and it worked right as it should and makes no difference once Trinity is started. Even if it's not what you want at first, it might be a good way to troubleshoot if the rest of Trinity has installed as it should. Have a nice day! -Alexandre Alexandre, I am able to login using xdm fine; it's just TDM that's not working, as far as I can tell. xdm works with twm and icewm, but TDM does not work with either of them, so I'm pretty sure that there's something wrong with the Trinity setup. I suspect that the absence of /etc/trinity probably has something to do with it, but I don't know what is supposed to be in it. Leslie

Icon Position

by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Just two question about icon positions: .trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions: [IconPosition::mypaint.desktop] Xabs=74 Xabs_1024x768=21 Xabs_1280x800=20 Xabs_1920x1200=74 Xabs_800x600=111 Yabs=487 Yabs_1024x768=437 Yabs_1280x800=715 Yabs_1920x1200=487 Yabs_800x600=348 Does this mean, TDE can handle different icon positions according to the current screen resolution? If yes, are the positions in this file used when the resolution changes (xrandr) or only whe TDE starts? Nik

PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2013, January 15 ready to download!

by Alexandre Couture

Hello everyone! My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2013, January 15 is ready to download! ***Please note that if you already use the previous version of this remaster, and you have followed the procedures to enable the new PCLOS repos as I said in my message titled ''Important note for PCLOS TDE remaster users'', you already have the new version. PCLOS is a rolling release.*** I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of their repos, it is also not supported by them. It can be seen as a whole as the much-loved PCLOS 2007, but fully updated and upgraded. It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD). Major apps pre-installed (in no special order): -PCLinuxOS 2013 (completely updated) base system with KDE stripped out and replaced by TDE 3.5.13.1 -KFaenza as the default icon theme instead of Oxygen -Most systems libs are completely updated since the last release -Amarok -K3b -Firefox 18 -Dillo -Dolphin -Konqueror -LibreOffice 3.6 -Quanta plus -VirtualBox -SuperKaramba -Synaptic -VLC media player 2.0.6 -Kaffeine -BleachBit -GParted -QtCurve theme -Baghira theme -The GIMP -QCad -Kontact (Note: I couldn't test completely Kmail, but it seems to work. If it is not good enough, Thunderbird is also pre-installed) -Mozilla Thunderbird -Skype -KMyMoney -P7Zip -All PCLinuxOS regular configuration apps (Most admin tasks should be done from the PCLOS Control Center) -Localisation Manager, to translate your system -LibreOffice Manager Login info (on the LiveCD): Regular user:guest Password:guest Super user: root Password:root System requirement: A x86 computer with at least 256mb of RAM. It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too. It is available in a 4-parts zip archive. (Please note that Ark doesn't support muti-part archives, so use another decompression app.) http://www.filefactory.com/file/6ofocsyy5fmh/Readme_First.pdf http://www.filefactory.com/file/1cq80reklobr/PCLinuxOS_TDE_nonofficial_15ja… http://www.filefactory.com/file/zr7wx0u3az9/PCLinuxOS_TDE_nonofficial_15jan… http://www.filefactory.com/file/5gzb2s0fik0b/PCLinuxOS_TDE_nonofficial_15ja… http://www.filefactory.com/file/64ag7nu0wpy9/PCLinuxOS_TDE_nonofficial_15ja… Oops, a little mistake: 15Jan2013 should be read instead of 15Jan2012... I won't re-upload my file for that :) Md5Sum: 1bafb54959a7580613029dec0e0d23f1 It would be very appreciated if someone can host the .iso file in a mirror! ***The previous version should be removed from the mirror because they don't use the new repos of PCLOS and they won't update as they should without further modifications. This new ISO contains the required modification.*** If you like what you see, you can consider giving some money to the Trinity Desktop Environment project! Give me your comments! -Alexandre
