How to get an onscreen keyboard?
by Thierry de Coulon 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello all, I found a second hand Acer Iconia TAB W500 - for those who don't know the beast, it's an X86 Tablet with an optional usb keyboard and relatively modest specs (an AMD dual core C-50 at 1GHz). The fun of this project was to see if a Linux Tablet is usable. It turns out (not surprisingly) that Linux does run very happily on this machine, but that as good as no distribution (that I have found) offers a sensible user interface for a touch screen. Debian stable + Gnome 3 is unusable (stays stuck all the time). openSuSE with KDE 4 looks nice but I could not find a way to get the UI elements in a size usable with my fingers. The best I got yet is Ubuntu with Unity. It's a disaster when it comes to administrate the computer, but it's the best UI for usability. While researching for this project I re-read what KDE 4 devs had said about having to give up KDE 3 because it was not "touchfriendly", so I tried TDE on Ubuntu. Now, TDE is actually very usable on a touchscreen. There is ONE problem - I can't find a way to activate an onscreen keyboard. Ubuntu/Unity starts a tool called "onboard" that works almost as expected (does not always seem to see if an external keyboard is present). It seems to be linked to lightdm. I can try to run Trinity with lightdm. Or has anyone a suggestion as to how to get an onscreen keyboard with tdm? Ah, and there would also be the problem of emulating the right mouse button click. Without this it's very difficule to work in tablet mode. Happy easter! Thierry

Tactile virtual keyboard does'nt appear
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Hello, On TDE Desktop, Debian Jessie, with a computer tactile (touch) screen, the tactile virtual keyboard does'nt appear. I can open applications and close applications, but no virtual keyboard. Also, impossible to zoom a a piece of the screen with the 3 fingers. It does't come from the computer, because everything works well with Windows-8. Thanks. André

kiconedit
by Jonesy 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Ubuntu 14.04 , TDE 14.0 - first install here w/Trusty and TDE 14. This is puzzling... $ kiconedit The program 'kiconedit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install kiconedit Well, I know if I do _that_, I'll end up with all of KDE 4. (I was bitten by something similar to that once on Ub 10.04 and TDE 13) So, $ sudo apt-get install kiconedit-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done kiconedit-trinity is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Huh? Maybe: $ kiconedit-trinity kiconedit-trinity: command not found So, I poke around in the TDE Menu and find it as TDEIconEdit. So, in fact, the CLI /bin name is `tdeiconedit`. How many more 'surprises' are there like that in TDE 14 versus TDE 13? And, how is a neophyte linux user (which my First Wife is about to become) suppose to know how to conqueror (or, is it TDEKonqueror?) such problems as they arise? Ok, ok ... so it was really just a rant. :-) Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | Marvin | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | FreeBSD __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | OS/2 SK

Hello, On a Jessie-Debian, last version of Trinity, the package "kmail-trinity" cannot be installed : "a lot of librairies are uninstallable" : Is it au bug ? (I use "synaptic" or aptitude install kmail-trinity) I see on the trinity web site, that the package "kmail-trinity.deb" doesn't exist. Thanks for your answer. André

Kcalc-trinity not starting.
by Roel Wagenaar 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

L.S. After upgrading my Debian desktop from wheezy to jessie, and trinity to r14.0.0, Kxalc-trinity no longer starts properly. From the commandline it looks like this: roel@roel-dt1:~$ kcalc kcalc: error while loading shared libraries: libtdeinit_kcalc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory roel@roel-dt1:~$ dpkg -S libtdeinit_kcalc.so kcalc-trinity: /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeinit_kcalc.so roel@roel-dt1:~$ ls -ahl /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeinit_kcalc.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 452K dec 4 07:03 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeinit_kcalc.so It looks like Kcalc is searching in the wrong place for its library. Is this a known problem? -- Roel Wagenaar, Linux-User #469851 with the Linux Counter; http://linuxcounter.net/ Antw.: Omdat het de volgorde verstoord waarin mensen tekst lezen.
