R14 and wheezy
by Nikolaus Klepp 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi all! I just tried to install R14 on a clean installation of debian jessy, with little success: It failed due to binutils requirements. Is there a timeframe for this to be resolved? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Display a message once after installation
by Alexandre 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi! On the dev mailling list, Darrel Anderson wrote that he wanted a way to display a message just one time after the installation. Here is how it is made in my PCLinuxOS remaster (and the original too): A little script is placed in the Autostart folder of the users when users are created (/etc/skel is the default base user profile) It shows a little Zenity dialog and launch a web page. Once it is executed, the little script is auto-destroyed. As an attachement, I included the script. For more details of how it works, you can install my PCLinuxOS noin-official TDE remaster (in the LiveCD page of this website) and you'll be able to see it when a user log in for the first time. Of course, Zenity (GTK2) could be replaced by a TDE equivalent. Have a nice day! -Alexnadre

Hello, Does someone know how to display a battery level indicator in the taskbar? I have installed kde-guidance-powermanager-trinity, klaptopdaemon-trinity, kpowersave-trinity, and laptop-mode-tools but haven't found how to do it. My taskbar does have an icon for configuring kpowersave. Robert

Automaticly start an application when a USB storage device is plugged in
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi all! Maybe somebody has a good idea how to accomplish this with TDE stock tools: I want to start a specific program when a USB storage device is plugged in. On TDE a dialog window pops up with basicly 2 options: "mount" or "do nothing". I'd like to intercept that dialog and filter according to the device type/serial number/name (what ever works) either to start the defalt TDE dialog or my program. At the time of writing I am using udev to solve the problem. But obviousely I have problems launching TDE applitaions from that context.

Release date for R14?
by Jan Stolarek 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, I wanted to ask about current status of R14. I found the roadmap here: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/39? Are things going more or less according to this schedule and we can expect R14 in a month or so? I'm asking because I'm planning to update to Wheezy on one of my machines, but I can delay it for a month or two and just install R14 without bothering to upgrade from 3.5.13.2. Janek
