greetings, everyone . . . among the applications that i absolutely need are the GIMP and the gthumb image viewer. since upgrading to 14.04 (both ubuntu and trinity), i've noticed that gthumb is working very slowly indeed, consuming vast amounts of processor. so i started it from a command line and it is throwing many errors, from which i find no hint as to the way to repair:

TDE Graphics Issue
by Dave 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Video now looks like 8 color mode.... On 30th July, I did an update/upgrade on Ubuntu-16.04. I should have known better when it wanted to update X-server and Grub on the same shot....Computer boots OK stops at TDM login screen..normal. but the graphics in the background picture look awful. Login to trinity, all graphics look like 8 color on background anything that I run, including Xine and VLC , 8 color. To go further, CNTL+ALT+F1 or F2-6, the screen is wrong there also. F1 will give you the book up sequence, but all that you can see is OK in faint video. It does let you log in, blindly, and my color prompt is there, but cannot read any other text. It does exec the app (ls) some owner/privlege info shows but there is missing text. Story continues... From the TDM login, I can select Ubuntu's GUI, and as is starts to load you can see TDMs background picture display properly for a couple seconds, and Gnome or whatever it is has all the proper graphics, everything runs properly. CNTL+ALT+F1 thru6 all display properly. So why would Gnome work and TDM/Trinity look crappy? I suspect something in Xorg. update list from 30 JULY: 2017-07-30 17:08:36 upgrade grub2:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.11 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.12 2017-07-30 17:08:36 upgrade grub-pc:amd64

No launchpad/github ?

There's no official trinity on launchpad and github ppa/sources? I think it would be a very good idea for the project to be there, just for the extra exposure. A lot of developers are already there. They can stumble on trinity just by searching something else. Or users stumbling on it. It seams good little advertisement for the project...

Thinkpad 200s, dual screens, setup
by Uwe Brauer 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi I am using a Thinkpad X200s with a Intel Graphic card which supports dual screens. I have installed first Kubuntu 14.04 and then trinity on top of that (I know this approach is not recommended. It would have been better to use the trinity Live CD, but I don't want to reinstall everything). Now I found out about dspdfviewer which allows (for beamer latex generated pdf) to show the transparencies in two screens. I tried that out with my laptop being connected to a external LCD screen, however my laptop screen only was cloned and the dspdfviewer developers told me to try out extended desktop mode. I looked up a bit the trinity kontrol center but could not find anything relevant. So a pointer would be very well come. I would not mind a link to a command tool such as xrand (which was recommended to me as well). Thanks Uwe Brauer

GPG keys

According to: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds I should do : apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 In order to get the Debian Stretch version installed. But the message I get when trying this is: Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.NclvApGG4K/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available Any suggestions? cheers anthony -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 9, desktop Trinity R14 This email is plain text, not HTML.

UEFI to CSM
by Felmon Davis 03 Aug '17

greets! this Asus is set up in UEFI. I'm considering installing Windows 7 and get the impression it needs CSM (or 'Legacy'). if I change the setting to CSM, will that incur loss of data? f. -- Felmon Davis All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected, so there's still hope.
