"End current session" as only option
by Thierry de Coulon 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Hello all, I have installed MX-15 Linux (I think I learned about it here), that is Debian based. I haven't used it so much yet (main install using openSUSE). Following the announce of 14.0.4 I have tried to dist-upgrade, which worked well (appart of Grub2 overwriting my mbr as usual) and MX-15 now has 14.0.4. However, I can't shutdown from TDE (anymore? I think I could before, but I am not 100% sure). I have checked what settings I identify "(offer shutdown options" is checked, "allow shutdown" is set to "everybody") but after a right click + Log out <user> all I'm offered is to "End current session". To shutdown or restart I must use the command line and get root. Thierry

where does kmail store emails?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Hi all! I kmail, when typing an email address, kmail gives a dropdown list of previously entered mail adresses. Now I trying to get rid of some badly formed email adressess from that list, but I cannot figure out where kmail stores this list. So, does anybody know where this list lives? I also try to give konqueror a list of adresses that it should present the user when he/she types something in the URL field. Where do I find this list? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

by Slávek Banko 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

Hi all, if you have not seen announcement, R14.0.4 been released! http://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2016.11.07 As previously announced, the number of supported versions of Ubuntu has been reduced. Newly was added support for Ubuntu 16.10. RPM packages and distributions has also been updated - François thank you! http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::10643 http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity/rpm/ For Ubuntu is now available two LiveCD: The official follow-up to the original KUbuntu - it is based on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty). Thirdparty (alternative) made from scratch - it is based on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial). https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/LiveCDs Now already begun work on a new target R14.0.5. Therefore in the Preliminary Stable Builds apt repository you can soon expect new packages. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Thank you for your attention :) Cheers -- Slávek

by Greg Madden 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Debian stable system latest TDE version R14.0.4. When I click on a mailto link in chrome it brings up the chrome browser, possibly looking for gmail. Google says the default behavior is to use the OS default mail client. I use Thunderbird and Kmail, chrome can not seem to find either one. Does this work for any one else? -- Greg

kvpnc does not work anymore DNS server?
by Uwe Brauer 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Hi I used kvpnc without problems in Kubuntu 10.04+trinity. But now either in Ubuntu 14.04+trinity or Kubuntu14.04+trinity I run into a serious problem. The kvpnc connects to the VPN server using the chisco backend. Everything works, connection is established, but then Any ping does not give a result for example ping www.economist.com Just hangs. But ping 192.230.82.108 Gives a result so it seems a strange DNS problem When I have no connection then ping www.economist.com just would give unknown host Be it as it may, I cannot use the connection this way. The browser does not fin Once I close the vpn tunnel everything works again fine. I googled but did not find any result. Any help on this issue is highly appreciated since VPN is very important to me. Uwe Brauer

GTK Styles and Fonts doesn't seem to work with Firefox.
by Leslie Turriff 06 Nov '16

06 Nov '16

I would like very much to change the fonts that Firefox uses from Sans-Serif to a Serif font. All of the fixes for this issue that I've found on the web advocate using GTK-QT-engine and GTK Styles and Fonts to fix this, but it's not working for me. After verifying that GTK-QT-engine (trinity-gtk-qt-engine) is installed, I shut down all instances of Firefox, then used the Trinity Control Center to set "Use my TDE style in GTK2 applications", "Use my TDE style in GTK3 applications", and "Use my TDE fonts in GTK2 applications"; but after restarting Firefox, the same old Sans-Serif fonts are displayed in all Firefox menus, dialogs, etc. I also tried "Use another (GTK2) font, specifying "Droid Serif (size 9)", but that didn't work either. There is no GTK3 Fonts section in GTK Styles and Fonts, so I can't explicitly tell TDE to change the GTK3 fonts. Is there another way to tell Firefox (and other GTK apps) to use a different font without installing all of Gnome? Leslie
