Update to stretch
by Rolf Schmidt 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

Hi, I updated a jessie machine to stretch, but tdm did not start, because there is not start skript in /etc/init.d. So I looked into the debian package and found out, that there is only a systemd-skript, but my computer starts with sys-V. Could the update skript keeps this situation in mind - i.e. is this a bug or a feature. Fine regards Rolf

[TDE-on-NixOS] tdelibs doesn't compile
by Anderson Torres 10 Sep '17

10 Sep '17

Hello, people! Can someone help me? I am trying to package TDE for NixOS [1], but I'm stuck in tdelibs [2]. It complains about a "general.entities" file not being updated. I googled the error but there is no pages about that issue. I have almost no idea what I can do here. Here is a pastebin : http://termbin.com/4tnd Notes: 1 - Main tree: https://github.com/AndersonTorres/nixpkgs/tree/TDE-WIP 2 - The code can be found here: https://github.com/AndersonTorres/nixpkgs/tree/TDE-WIP/pkgs/desktops/tde/R14

Fwd: Removing Qt4 in Buster
by Philip Ashmore 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi there. I thought this might be of interest to Trinity desktop, "if there are no activities regarding porting, investigate whether there are suitable alternatives for your users". Trinity could fit in there. Speaking of porting to Qt5, is there a wiki detailing what bugs/issues there are regarding the Trinity desktop migration to Qt5?

Is there a kind soul in the team, who at last would compile this lib against the latest Debian binutils 2.29.8 to resolve the outdated dependencies. Thanks.

map buttons kensington 4 button mouse
by Greg Madden 07 Sep '17

Greg M Kensington Expert Mouse: Lots of info on the net about this mouse, have tried modifying xorg, .xinitrc, .xmodmap per instructions, button mapping code. No changes to the button assignment. Control center has a three button mouse tool, it works for 3 of the 4 buttons. I am thinking TDM does not use .xinitrc or .xmodmap.what is the TDE way ? xorg.conf example Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 8 3 2" .xmodmap : pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 pointer = 1 8 3 2 .xinitrc: autocutsel -fork & autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork & xmodmap ~/.xmodmap -- Love and Service Greg M

compiz configuration
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

somehow, compiz works on my main user, but i can't replicated it in a new user. when it fails, it leaves the windows border less and unmovable sometimes it gets a bit more messed up with the position that the mouse can click displaced from the real position of the mouse by quite a large distance. At first it didn't work in my main user either, but at some point i noticed that it worked.... I'm not sure what i did, and can't narrow down the fix. I tried copying over .trinity, .kde, .config, .cache, .local various config .files from my home, but still doesn't work.... compiz --debug seams fine.... I'm using the default compiz install of linux mint 18.2 compiz works fine in mate for all users compiz works only for my main user under trinity the compiz-trinity packages seam totally broken. any ideas?

[trinity-users] What has to be done to keep updates from obliterating my tdmrc customizations?
by Felix Miata 03 Sep '17

03 Sep '17

This has been happening on all 14.0.x installations to Debian and openSUSE. I know I can lock it down with chattr, but that leaves the package managers showing what appears to be that tdm latest is not installed, and a would be tdmrc replacement sitting in /etc/trinity/tdm/. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
