Fresh install of TDE R14.0.3
by Dobigeon Nicolas 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hello all, I just did a fresh install of Debian Jessie on my main notebook with the lastest TDE. And i have to tell it's a pleasure to see that everything work out of the box ( the most of the hotkeys, screen brightness, etc ...) I tried different artwork inclued in the repo, But it's the first time i use the "lipstik" tqt style, it a very nice style, and look modern on TDE. Also "Crystal" windows decoration is impressive to look modern. Can you tell me where we have to put icons, tqt style and windows decoration on TDE ? is it in "/home/user/.icons .themes" ... or in "/home/user/.trinity/share ..." ? Thanks to the team. See you ;)

No mounted medium icon on Desktop
by Thierry de Coulon 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hello all, I have a strange problem, that was not there a dew days ago, although I could not say exactly when (or why and how) it appeared: When I plug a CF card in my card reader, an icon appears on the desktop when I _mount_ the card (by clicking on it), a Konqueror windows opens BUT the icon disappears - which means I can't umount it with the mouse, I have to open a console and umount by hand. Of course I have checked that "Mounted removable medium" was selected to be displayed. It is. The only thing I changed recently was to set the Desktop Background to a slide show. I could not find in which file these settings are kept. Maybe someone has an idea what's going on? R 14.0.0 by the way. Thierry

start menu items categories
by Istvan Gabor 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hello: I've been using openSUSE with KDE3 for several years. Recently I installed trinity (last stable) on openSUSE 13.1. I am very satisfied with it so far. The only thing I miss know is how start menu items are organized. In openSUSE they are organized into submenus in 2 or 3 levels (eg System/Archiving/*, System/Desktop/* etc). Unfortunately trinity doesn't have this leveling, most programs are put under one main menu item. Eg the program lists in System menu almost fills my whole screen. Which files do I have to modify to have openSUSE type menu categories? Is it enough to adjust a file in /etc/xdg/menus or do I have to modify every single .desktop files belonging to the given applications, or something else? Thanks, Istvan

Upgrading from KDE3 to R14
by Jan Stolarek 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hi all, I have an old machine that still runs KDE 3. I plan to install Debian 8 with Trinity R14. Does R14 support settings migration from KDE3? Or will all the settings be lost?

Odd error this evening
by Gene Heskett 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Greetings all; As those of you the the USA know, Southern WV took a beating from the weather last night and today. Heavy rains, high winds combined to kill the power for about 25% of the states population, and threaten to drown quite a few. My own automatic 20 kw nat gas standby ran from about 3:20 Thursday morning until a final restart shortly after 18:00 local. So I am busy catching up on my email, when apparently my ups did not properly restart after one of the inevitable short term power up's when the line crews are closing circuits to see if they fault again because there yet another down tree laying on the lines a half mile around the corner. So I'm typing away on a message reply when the screen goes black, the ups has a low battery and kills the load. Restarting the ups was a matter of holding down the power button for 3 or 4 seconds, followed by a trip to the tower to tap its power switch. Everything solved as soon as its booted, right? Wrong... No /usr/bin/X to be found. I had to totally apt-get install --re-install all of the Xorg-server stuff, 35 or 40 packages, to get the missing /usr/bin/X. That may not have been the only package that was nuked by the untimely powerdown but I've no way to verify that. But why should a powerdown as unceremonious as pulling the plug, have deleted /usr/bin/X? It doesn't grok at this site. Clues? Thanks.

Emacs and Window Foreground
by Uwe Brauer 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi I just compiled Emacs for Kubuntu 14..04 running trinity, while emacs runs without problems in KDE4 it fails for trinity the error message is: undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" I swore I have seen this error before, and it was caused by some trinity package, deinstallation solved the problem, but I don't recall which one it was. Anybody has an idea? trinity without Emacs sucks thanks Uwe Brauer

install -f and where is the KControl center Mac X clone, in version 14
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi I it seems that a bold sudo apt-get install -f Solved most (but maybe not all problems with my trinity installation). Be it as it may, when I logged in to Trinity, almost everything felt similar, save one (for me) very important thing. In earlier Kubuntu (for example 10.04) and earlier trinity versions (TDE v3.5.13.2) there were *two* control center, - the ugly vanilla kde control center - and a I presume a Kubuntu specific Mac OSX clone. I attach a screenshot. Now in Kubuntu 14.04+ Trinity R14.0.3 I cannot find the MacOSX clone anymore. Where is it? Was it deleted, taken out? For me it was one of the reasons to stay with Trinity, to have both a familiar environment which does not need to much resources but which is comfortable enough when it come to configuration, the KDE vanilla control center is much worse in this respect. Thanks and regards Uwe Brauer

Another hibernate issue
by deloptes 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi all, there was/is a discussion about powersave features and options. I do not use it that often, but this week going to work with the train I decided to try it out and hibernated the notebook. It is Dell 5440. After power on all worked fine and it came up from hibernation. When the lock screen asked for password and I pressed some key it went again into hibernation state. The second time I powered on, I was able to unlock he screen and go on with my work. This was reproducable - I tried it twice the same behavior. How can this be debugged? regards
