systemtrayapplet.desktop and that annoying little '*'
by Philip Ashmore 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi there. Thanks to the previous post re "Icons on task bar" I took a look at .trinity/share/apps/kickerrc, one more time to track down the source of that annoying little '*'. It's in the system tray, but I can't find the systemtrayapplet.desktop file to examine what app it belongs to, so I can remove it. It's the little orange circle between the calender icon and the network icon. Any hints? Philip Ashmore

R14: add icon to planel
by Uwe Brauer 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hello till version R14 I was used to the following workflow: After the installation of a 3rd party software, for example xemacs21.5 I installed an icon in the desktop with a link to the application. I then moved the icon to the panel and voila it was included automatically. However this seems not to work in R14, what do I miss? thanks Uwe Brauer

Trying to reinstall
by Robert Peters 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hello, While trying yet again to get audio working I managed to clobber my TDE 14 setup. Want to reinstall from live CD (on USB stick). Tried the Ubuntu one; the installer didn't let me complete the partition setup. Tried the most recent Ubuntu nightly; can't even get to the GUI or installer program. I don't care much for what I've seen of PCLinuxOS. Maybe I can mess around with Debian/Exe again. But really, isn't there something I can use and recommend to others that just works???? (i.e., with functioning wifi and sound) -R

Problem with fonts in KPDF
by Jan Stolarek 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Hi all, I have a question about KPDF under Trinity 3.5.13.2, Debian wheezy. I have problems with fonts in PDFs built using LaTeX - see attached screenshot (I hope it makes it to the list). Notice how the upper curve of 'o' and 'e' is not visible. Same happens with lower curve of 's'. This is pretty annoying. Is there any way to fix this? On my other machine that still runs KDE3 this problem does not exist, so there should be a way of fixing this. Perhaps I should install some system-wide set of fonts?

I can 'open in Iceweasel' from Konqueror, but not the other way around. Being able to extend the Iceweasel Application panel with file extensions/URL types that can be opened in a running Konqueror instance would be really nice. ...Editing mimeTypes.rdf looked promising, but it appears to be limited to base executables - '/opt/trinity/bin/konqueror' works (new instance), '/opt/trinity/bin/kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing' is ignored/won't show up as an option.

The right pane only has a line of text until you start opening/selecting items in the list. Prepending that text with 'Search for/' (select a file type...) might make the functionality clearer. It sounds like you haven't discovered TDE's extensive help sections. Clicking the title bar ? mark and then the File Associations text entry field provides basic information. Clicking the Help button (bottom left), provides a lot more - foreground in the screenshot. It might also help if it was menu > Trinity Control Center, instead of menu > TCC > TCC to actually open the control center. I don't see any advantage to duping the control center menu in the main menu and it makes opening the control center harder/less obvious. Using the control center menu provides a third help option (> ?, < Help) via a side menu question mark icon.

next problem, konqueror's 75% crash rate when clicking on an http link in kmail
by Gene Heskett 09 Mar '15

Lets face it, iceweasal is 10,000% more browser than konqueror. Where do I change this (TDE? IDK) default broswer to iceweasal when I click on a web link in a kmail incoming message? If it runs long enough, I can switch to iceweasal in its file pulldown, but 75% of the time I am looking at its crash report popup, which for the purposes of registering a bug report is worthless because the debug symbols are not compiled in. So the report it does file is basically konqueror crashed, no further details. Those I believe must get routed to /dev/null since not one of them over the last 5+ years has ever resulted in a reply (from anyone) asking for further details. Thanks folks.
