skype and pulse audio
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a fix to re-enable alsa or the like? Kate

Porting individual trinity programs to Android
by Philip Ashmore 21 Feb '17

Hi there. I've got a really great Amarok playlist of songs that I find help me concentrate. I've looked for a means of playing such a playlist on Android without success. If anyone has succeeded in porting a TDE program to Android it would maybe bring this dream a little closer. Please tell me I'm not the only one with such a dream :) Regards, Philip Ashmore

Sorry for the previous hijacked thread. The problem is I get error instead of mounting a drive: Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.NotAuthorizedCanObtain: Not authorized to perform operation I checked my groups. They are: disk, floppy, cdrom, vboxusers, root. Aren't they enough?

The two solutions : System > SuperUser > Konqueror and by creating an icon on the desktop, with : Excecute with a different user = root. Now, the both don't work to open text files with kedit.

Konqueror in root, kedit not possible
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hello, I open my TDE-trinity session with the user "andre". If I use Konqueror as files-manager, with the user "root", (to modify root text files), I cannot open a text file with kedit or kwrite. "TDEInit cannot launch kedit". In user "andre", it works fine. Thanks. André

serious problem with wifi cannot connect anymore
by Uwe Brauer 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Hi This problem is much more serious than my other one, since I only have for coming days wifi available, however one laptop does not connect anymore. I am on Kubuntu 14.04 and the connection does not work neigher with the plasma networkmananger nor with tdenetworkmanager. I deleted a link from /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf Then the following file was created as /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.1.1 search telefonica.net Even as root I cannot anymore modify nor delete it, I wanted to set again the link mentioned above but without success. When I start tdenetworkmanager I obtain the following error (no idea whether this related to the above problem) any help is strongly appreciated since outwise I have to reinstall everything.

tdenetworkmanager some progress
by Uwe Brauer 20 Sep '16

Hi I run Sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf which did not help, but I deleted the line dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf I still obtain the message of the sort ,---- | [TDE NM Backend ERROR] | [/tmp/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.4~pre12/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1823] | Attempting to access the network-manager VPN service returned: | org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name | org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin was not provided by any | .service files [TDE NM Backend ERROR] | [/tmp/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.4~pre12/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1823] | Attempting to access the network-manager VPN service returned: | org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name | org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin was not provided by any | .service files `---- but it does connect! However the icon does not change to the usual connect sign (while in my other with kubuntu 14.04/trinity everything works smoothly) I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager-tde did not really work, I can disable wireless but I cannot switch to offline and then back to online mode, the icon looks that if there is only offline activated. I really don't want to reinstall but this is quite a bit annoying. Thanks Uwe Brauer

[SOLVED] Undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" and the old dot.trinity
by A M 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

The issue was solved, thanks to the most useful comments by three list participants. The first advice, by Gerhard Zintel, was a suggestion to simply uncheck one of the preferences via the TDE Control Center: *" I had the same issue before. I cannot clearly remember but try to un-check "Apply colors to non-TDE applications" in TDE Control Center => Appearence & Themes => Colors. "* That immediately worked, thanks Gerhard! But then the next advice came from Nick Koretsky which also commented on the Gerhard's advice: *That's a bad solution - this checkbox is unfortunately named, it should be named "apply styles' - it govern not only colors, but also button styles, button placements and fonts in gtk apps The correct solution is to add following to you .xsession file ( sleep 10 xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z_]*BACKGROUND# gray90#' \* *-e 's#[A-Z_]*FOREGROUND# Black#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*HIGHLIGHT# White#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*LOWLIGHT# Black#'|xrdb -merge ) &* I tried this as well, and it works and seems in fact to be more appropriate for our environment. I've applied it by adding to the system-wide script that is executed at login and does it one time per session. It works pretty well (and has no impact on gtk applications). So we'll stick to this method. Finally, another advice came from "iadest": *Hello Try to edit ~/.Xresourced adding: *.WINDOW_FOREGROUND: black Then execute command: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources I had similar problems with Perl/Tk and *.BACKGROUND color. Maybe this solution will work for Emacs too.* *MCbx* As this solution was basically quite similar to that of Nick's which was already nicely implemented, I did not try this.. In any case, these advices saved me a day. Thanks a lot for all those who replied! Andy. ------ ORIGINAL MAIL ------ Hello, I am happily using Trinity since a couple of years, and never had any insolvable issues with it. However, currently I am standing before a "blocker" confguration issue, and would highly appreciate some useful hint/help from the community. This is what happens: - I've installed a remote Centos 7 host equipped with a complete Trinity 14.0.3-1.el7.x86_64 desktop. The desktop is being accessed via Freenx and, as this machine will also be used by people with French and German keyboards, the working keyboard switcher apllet present in the 14.03 distro seems to become a really indispensable feature. - Everyrthing seemingly works well, the desktop looks beautiful, but very soon I discovered that there is a couple off issues. In particular, I cannot start emacs on this machine, it ends up with this error: [ Undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" ]. Atfter a bit of googling, it came out that this is a known problem, and it has to do with KDE configuration. People then stated the the issue was essentially solved by simply migrating to the updated version of KDE and no other clues were provided. - After quite some time spent on searches, I decided to replace "dot.trinity" and "dot.tderc" with their well-customized versions taken from one of my working Centos 6 machines with Trinity 3.5.13-15.1 (which in turn, inherited them from Centos 5 with KDE 3.5.4-1). Surprise: emacs worked like a charm, and also some other issues like remote app submission not working before were gone! - The old "dot.trinity" configuration, however, has an outdated K-menu, and it does not allow me to add the Keyboard Switcher applet. Thus I have a sort of a "blocker" situation. On one hand, I am almost done with an old "dot.trinity" and may dig in further and try to replace the K-menu under dot.trinity/share/config (this would hopefully give me a chance to add the switcher). Or I have to dig more into the issue of the brand-new install (no good ideas of where to begin, though..) The funny thing is, there is in fact an almost-working solution. Thus it is only a TDE configuration issue: something is present, or missing, or set up in a wrong way.. Thanks a lot ahead for any there or a useful hint on how to proceed! Andy.
