in the last 6-8 months I have been having occasional failure of mail check both interval and manual. The symptom is the bottom right progress bar shows constant movement with no percentage given and no new mail.Workaround is close kmail, reopen it go to Settings - Configure Mail - Accounts - Receiving - Modify - Apply (without editing anything) - OK and it downloads and will do so for 1~30 days and the same thing happens again. Doesn't matter which of 4 POP3 accounts I select to (not) modify - all then download Just open/close does not fix it nor TDE exit/new session or reboot. Machine normally runs 24/7 Has persisted through a complete machine replacement (with the same ~.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail directory and filters This is with KMail 1.9.10 (enterprise35.0.20100827.1168748) (Using Trinity 3.5.13.2) on Debian 7 reported by synaptic as kmail-trinity 4.3.5.13.2-0debiian7.0.0+0. The same setup had been working fine for some months beforehand Any ideas ? Regards John Campbell

trinity on FreeBSD 10.1

by baho-utot＠columbus.rr.com

Has anyone tried to build trinity for FreeBSD ? I am currently building a new system based on FreeBSD and I would like to attempt to build trinity. I would like to create ports build if I am successful with the build. I am studying the build from source instructions posted on the website. I believe that this will be a difficult one as it appears that trinity favors Linux. The following appears to be problem areas: Should be installed in /use/local/<whatever>. Scripts contained in the source files have !#/bin/bash. Do the scripts contain bash-ims? FreeBSD used the bourne shell not bash IE #!/bin/sh. FreeBSD uses clang instead of gcc. FreeBSD has dropped HAL in xorg. udev not supported. I am not intending to use linux compatibility ports, as I am looking to run this on the FreeBSD bare metal. Comments?

Proposed sources.list entry for TDE on Jessie

by Lisi Reisz

Would the following be OK for my TDE entries in my sources.list in my proposed Jessie media computer install? The hashed out lines so that they can be brought in if there's a problem with the other repositories while I am installing. ;-) <quote> # deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie main # deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb-src http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb-src http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debian jessie main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu jessie main </quote> If the answer is "no" or "well....." , then suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Lisi

Audio tag editor

by Nicolas Dobigeon

Hello, I'm a "MusicBrainz Picard" user. It's an advanced audio tagger which can connect to a big DB on the web to tag your mp3. It's a very powerfull and strong software. You can detect songs and autotags them, select the tag version (v1+v2, only v2, only v3, utf8 data, AINSI data, etc ...). I stronlgy recommande it but am thinking about using a native tde mp3 tagger. Do you use an equivalent of my one ? What is the software you use ? Thanks for your feedback ;) Nicolas D.

No sound on Debian_8 with TDE_R14

by Nicolas Dobigeon

Hello, I just tryed to install TDE R14 on my new notepad (Lenovo G50-70). All worked with the base desktop (Gnome) but when i installed an used TDE, it can't play any sound with ARTS. I don't know how to correct it. The sound card is working in other DE, the kernel module should be OK. I think there a config file to edit or something to do but i don't know what i should do. I request your help. I really want to use TDE. Thanks for your help. Nicolas D.

rollback to r23 possible?

by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com

how can one roll back to r13 in 64 bit debian wheezy? The "force" option in synaptic is not available. would "complete removal" of r14, then a switch to r13 repos and subsequent install work?

Re: [Dng] Some downgrades may be needed e.g. cups Re: Towards systemd-free packages

by Neo Futur

( being on the two mailing lists I m cross posting on the TDE mailing list so they know devuan could be interested in supporting TDE . . . ) same here, TDE ( kde3 fork reacting to the unstable kde4 bloat ) : * have all the features I expect from a modern window manager * is very stable, even if you customize it changing many configuration options * have a very good and intuitive customization panel * is using much less resources than the more recent kde or gnome * have no plans on depending on systemd ever ( there are a few threads on the topic on the tde mailing list ) : http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::6629 "TDE will not intentionally introduce a hard dependency on systemd" I d also add that I often install linux to new users coming from the windows environment, the feedback from those users have always been very bad for kde4 and very good for kde3.

Trinity R14 & openSUSE 13.2-x86_64 cannot install - avahi dependency

by Larry Stotler

I added the trinity r14 repos for 13.2 (x84_64 & noarch) but when I try to install I get the following: Problem: trinity-desktop-14.0.0-1.oss132.opt.noarch requires trinity-tdebase >= 14.0.0, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: trinity-tdebase-14.0.0-1.oss132.opt.x84_64[x86_64] When I look in Software Management under YaST I find that tdebase requires tdelibs and tdelibs requires avahi. I don't use avahi and don't install it like I dont install apparmour, pulseaudio, gimp, nepomuk, etc Is there a way to remove this as a dependency? One of the issues I've had with linux distros for the 17 years I've used it is the unneccessary dependecies that pull in unneeded or unwanted sotware. Thanx for improving KDE 3.5.x. I still can't stand what they did with KDE4.
