Last week when I started my newest machine (x86_64 intel, OpenSuSE Leap 42.2), when logging in I got a notification box that said, The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least once. The script is not successfully updating. The script will run with each login until corrected. Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action to correct the problem. The error code is 9. When I continued on, all of my Trinity desktop settings were gone. Rebooting does not help, nor did reinstalling the OS and Trinity. I have no idea what "appropriate administrative action" might be, nor what error code 9 means. Help! Leslie

multiple monitors

by Gene Kodadek

Can somebody give me a guide to getting a multi-monitor setup working using the native tools? I'm on Debian Jessie if that makes a difference. I had it working on a PCLInux OS install but can't remember how I did it.

digikam crash

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: Digikam crashes when in image editor I right click the images or try to select area. This occurs in openSUSE 13.2 Trinty TDE R14.0.4 64 bit. Digikam is trinity-digikam-0.9.6-14.0.4_1.oss132.x86_64. It does not occur with all images, only if the resolutions or file size is over a limit, though I don't know the limit. It occurs with jpg file 3264x2448 resolution ~1.8 MB, but it doesn't occur if I downsize this image to 1500x1125 ~500 KB. Does anyone have this problem? Could it be fixed? Thanks, Istvan

I am new to HDMI (I actually don't use it anwhere as I have no monitor with such a connector). So I can't test what would happen if I had a direct connection to the monitor. I could imagine that the chain HDMI - HDMI to VGA (cheap chinese thing, by the way) - KVM switch - monitor is too much for a system that desperately tries to identify the monitor by itself. In the old time I would have been asked what my screen was... Thierry

I had never noticed (nor needed) that setting, now I know where to look. Thierry

Application resolution vs desktop resolution

by Thierry de Coulon

Actually I don't think this is a Trinity problem, because reverting to lightdm shows no change, but I post this in hope someone can give me a clue: I have setup a machine based on an Intel based SBC (UP board with a "cherry trail" processor. It runs openSUSE Leap and Trinity. I initially had lots of screen corruption but this I solved by setting the graphics to "xua". My problem is this: while I have the screen resolution setup to 1920x1080 (and trinity desktop looks OK for this resolution), the monitor (which is accessed from HDMI through an HDMI to VGA converter because I use a KVM that needs VGA connectors) was initially "seen" as 1024x768. And the applications seem to retain that resolution. I could make things better in kmail (which is the main application for this machine) by reducing the font size. The other applications still look "too big". So I get the feeling that the lower resolution was saved somewhere... Is there a place where I can tell them to use 1920x768? Have good day, Thierry

kooldock

by Gene Kodadek

I just installed Trinity to my Debian Stable machine. Looks good, but I can't figure out how to enable the kooldock. Also, none of the old KDE 3.x wallpapers are available from the desktop settings menu; is that an extra package I need to install? Thanks!
