TDE not reacting on camera
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi all! I have a funny problem with a camera: "Casio Exilim", is recognised as a usb storage device, and under TDE <= 14.0.0 the camera was managed by TDEs device manager, i.e. a popup appered "New media found. What do you want to do?", just like any USB stick. After the update to 14.0.1 things have changed: usb-sticks are still managed as expected, just the camera is not. I can mount it manually (but that's not quite what the user expected). So, where should I go looking? It's debian jessie, btw. This is the log, when the camera is plugged in: Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.060257] usb 6-4.3: new full-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 mtp-probe: checking bus 6, device 8: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb6/6-4/6-4.3" Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.156609] usb 6-4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=07cf, idProduct=1001 Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.156614] usb 6-4.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.156616] usb 6-4.3: Product: CASIO QV DIGITAL Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.156618] usb 6-4.3: Manufacturer: CASIO COMPUTER Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.157290] usb-storage 6-4.3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.157543] usb-storage 6-4.3:1.0: Quirks match for vid 07cf pid 1001: a Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 kernel: [ 5789.157562] scsi9 : usb-storage 6-4.3:1.0 Sep 18 10:17:56 t60 mtp-probe: bus: 6, device: 8 was not an MTP device Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.156355] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Casio QV DigitalCamera 1000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.160426] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.170969] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] 1995264 512-byte logical blocks: (1.02 GB/974 MiB) Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.171966] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.189001] sdc: sdc1 Sep 18 10:17:57 t60 kernel: [ 5790.201969] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk This is an ordenary usb-stick: Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.480076] usb 7-2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.612894] usb 7-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0204, idProduct=6025 Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.612900] usb 7-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.612904] usb 7-2: Product: Flash Disk Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.612907] usb 7-2: Manufacturer: CBM Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.612910] usb 7-2: SerialNumber: 041513026D144601 Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.613300] usb-storage 7-2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 kernel: [ 6783.613717] scsi11 : usb-storage 7-2:1.0 Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 mtp-probe: checking bus 7, device 4: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb7/7-2" Sep 18 10:34:31 t60 mtp-probe: bus: 7, device: 4 was not an MTP device Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.612935] scsi 11:0:0:0: Direct-Access CBM Flash Disk 5.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.617111] sd 11:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.622992] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdd] 2017280 512-byte logical blocks: (1.03 GB/985 MiB) Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.623630] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.627244] sdd: sdd1 Sep 18 10:34:32 t60 kernel: [ 6784.630735] sd 11:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Trinity in the news
by Baron 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi Guys, I've not been around for a week or three and have not been able to collect my magazines until today. However in "Electronics Weekly", October 14 - 20 th edition, on the front page, there is a mention of Trinity DE on the Raspberry Pi running "Q4OS Linux distribution. Quote: "Raspberry Pi has a new "Windows lookalike" operating system. Q4OS is a Linux distribution that uses the Trinity Desktop Environment, and one of it's most interesting features is that it looks like and its functionality imitates Windows based operating systems." Unfortunately the article does not mention the author of the article. -- Best Regards: Baron

Drag and drop in Konqueror
by iadest＠o2.pl 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello. After upgrading to Debian Jessie and TDE 14.0.1, I got problems with drag and drop between Konqueror and other non-TDE applications. For example I can't drag into FileZilla to upload file anymore. Is it a result of some modification, or maybe I forgot to install some "interoperation" package? MCbx

key for Slávek's repository
by Lisi Reisz 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

I am working remotely on someone else's computer and am having trouble getting the key accepted. I have followed these instructions, looked up a few minutes ago: <quote> Packages are signed using GPG key ID A04BE668. To install the GPG key you can use any public GPG keyserver, for example: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 </quote> I have tried both <quote> # apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 </quote> and <quote> # gpg --keyserver certserver.pgp.com --recv-key A04BE668 </quote> Both have failed. "gpg no valid OpenGPG data found" Help!! I must get this sorted out urgently. I am installing Adept, and I assume that if she tries to use it, it will complain about insecurity. Lisi

Speil cheekers?
by Gene Heskett 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Greetings all; How hard would it be to enable the kmail spell checker to actually save to disk that which you click on the "add to dictionary" button. All it can do is save it in memory, but if you then recheck the same msg, you have to add those same words again. I don't see a way to add a "personal" file that would enable this. So is it possible?

Kmail distortion of headings from recent Thunderbird messages.
by Marco 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi all, When reading messages in Kmail sent to me by (2) correspondents using Thunderbird (v38), the FROM and the TO fields of the messages are not correctly represented: the French accents in the sender's real name and in the real names in the recipient list are distorted. For example, René becomes Renc3a9. This is quite annoying when I want to reply to a list with many names with French accents. This problem does not apply to the body of message, where all accents are ok. I noticed that the problem started on August 30 where i also noticed the two correspondents upgraded to version 38 of Thunderbird for windoze. Earlier messages are ok. I have been using Kmail on my desktop computer for many years without any problems. It is the current version (1.9.10) supplied by Trinity. I use Ubuntu Precise with Trinity R 14.0.2. I tried changing character settings in 'appearance' within Kmail preferences in various combinations, with utf-8 and iso-8859-1 to no avail. Is this something that I need to set correctly in Kmail or something wrong with Tbird? My wife can read those same headings fine on her laptop using Tbird. Any ideas? Marco

Master server updates
by Timothy Pearson 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, The master server redirection system (ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net) has been updated to remove an unnecessary client redirection. This means those of you still using the master server instead of Slavek's redirector will see faster "apt-get update" execution due to the number of required DNS lookups dropping by 1/3. Also, this message is a reminder that the master server will be going down for maintenance to install the replacement CPU tomorrow. You can follow along on the Service Alerts page (when available) here: https://trinitydesktop.org/servicealerts/ Thank you all for your financial assistance and patience!
