toggle showing desktop stumbles
by Philip Ashmore 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi there. I've got <ctrl><alt>D set up as an alternate for "toggle showing desktop". I have the wallpaper set up in slide-show mode - lots of pictures. So when one comes along I like (kicker is translucent), I <ctrl><alt>D to see it. I tried holding down <ctrl><alt>D to see how quickly the desktop redraws and it flickered a few times before all the apps disappeared, after which pressing the key-combo had no effect - the desktop background was permanent. I could click on the apps in kicker to bring them back individually. Is this a bug? Regards, Philip Ashmore

Anyone know what program shows this battery icon in the status bar?
by Philip Ashmore 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

Hi there. I took a snapshot of the one I mean (attached). I think it belongs to a battery status monitor for another desktop and I'd really like to get rid of it as it's right next to the Trinity one. Thanks in advance, Philip Ashmore

Task switching randomness
by Philip Ashmore 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

Hi there. Every once in a while, my task switching routine (edit in Kate, compile in Konsole, debug in another Konsole session over ssh) gets disrupted when some random window I have in the background gains focus when I alt-tab. I guess it's meant to remind me that I have other windows open, but I'd rather it didn't do that. Is there a way to turn it off? Thanks in advance, Philip Ashmore

slow down
by Paul Cartwright 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

so I was using email and clicked on a link last night. the chrome window came up, I started to move my mouse to the window, and the mouse froze.. for about 10 seconds, I moved it and it froze again. After a few rounds of this I went to a terminal window to see what is going on. I did my usual"sudo su" and typed in my password.. came back invalid.. after 3 times doing this ( usuing the same password I just logged in with) it locked me out. So I logged out, logged in with XFCE4, ran another terminal, and was successful doing the same sudo su command. Today I am logged back in with no problems SO far.. looking at syslog I see... about that time: Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.230270] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.243176] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.257043] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.271533] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.285273] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.299263] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.313130] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.327245] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.341235] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 then this: Sep 19 20:33:07 pauls-server mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 58: "/sys/devices /pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-4/1-4.1" Sep 19 20:33:07 pauls-server mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 58 was not an MTP device Sep 19 20:33:11 pauls-server kernel: [43934.494398] hub 1-4:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... then more Sep 19 20:33:23 pauls-server mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 60 was not an MTP device Sep 19 20:33:38 pauls-server kernel: [43961.355985] hub 1-4:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

SAK: cannot login after s2ram
by Nicolas Bercher 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I recently upgraded to 3.5.13.2 and discovered the SAK. Since then I *sometimes* have big issues after waking up from s2ram on my laptop: the alt+ctrl+del does not work at all and I cannot login to my session anymore. The problem looks like random. Any clue for that? (I spent one hour searching the list with no success) Nicolas

Trinity Desktop on Debian Jennie/Testing
by Stephen P. Molnar 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Has anyone successfully installed the Trinity Desktop in Debian Testing? I managed to follow the wiki directions for Debian 7.1.0 without any glitches, however there are no /etc/apt/sources.list entries for Jessie. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Desktop managers
by Mike Howard 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Hi All, I assume that any desktop manager, such as GDM for example, can be used with TDE, instead of trinity-kdm? The reason I ask is I'm having problems getting xming working from a Win7 pc (just getting blank, black screen) and I always found gdm more user friendly. Cheers, Mike. --

openSUSE Installation Steps
by Cameron Rapp 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Hi, I Installed Trinity using the instructions at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/OpenSUSEBinaryIns… but it does not work out of the box this way. I'm hoping someone with write privileges can add these steps to the wiki In /etc/profile: Change the lines pointing to /opt/kde3 to /opt/trinity so the binaries will be in the PATH In /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: Change DISPLAYMANAGER to say DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/kdm using just kdm doesn't work, even with PATH set correctly. Also, openSUSE 11.4 repository is broken, there were some dependency issues with the trinity-desktop package. I'll look into that again later. Thank you!
