Trinity and Konqueror and Image View
by J Leslie Turriff 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

I see that the new release of Trinity is now available (Congrats!), and I'm thinking of replacing OpenSuSE KDE3 with it once again, but I have a question first: In OpenSuSE's KDE3 Konqueror, Image View is available in addition to Photobook, whereas, IIRC, Trinity Konqueror only has Photobook, which I find much less friendly. Is there a way for me to get Image View in the Trinity version of Konqueror? Leslie

R14.0.5 released, new target R14.0.6 will be started...
by Slávek Banko 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi everyone, who is currently using Preliminary Stable Builds repository as you have surely noticed, the final R14.0.5 was released. At this time packages in Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB) repository and official R14.0.5 are both based on an identical source packages. If you used the PSB only temporarily, you can now switch to official repository. This is the best time because here are waiting updates to upload into PSB. I suppose the first uploads will be done in early September. You have been warned ;) If you are using PSB deliberately, you can look forward to that soon will launch the first upload of packages for the new target R14.0.6. We will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Thank you for your attention :) -- Slávek

stretch problems
by Gene Heskett 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Installed stretch on a fresh hard drive, using a multiple partition setup, default gnome simple install. Broke my eyeballs and will use up a set of batteries in my mouse weekly to get anything done. Its a single user, single tasking system, with a busted terminal emulator, at best. Rebooted back to wheezy and printed the "debian trinity repository installation instructions", then rebooted back to stretch to apply them. Did, but got an odd error with the import key line. Fixed trinity.list for apt of course first. But synaptic did run, tde was clear at the bottom of the left column, but I found it and 45 minutes and about 1100MB of downloads later I thought I had enough tde to run. R14.0.5 FWIW. Rebooted to stretch, was greeted by the trinity login greeter, thought I was home free, but it was quiet for about 45 seconds after I entered the pw. Then boom, I'm looking at the worthless gnome screen again. During the install, I was asked which manager to use and clicked on tdm-trinity. But its not sticking, and I can't mount the stretch drive and edit it, theres enough diffs between the ext4's that it refuses to mount from wheezy. And if I add it to wheezy's fstab, the reboot locks up and I have to use the root pw to get a shell and # sign that line back out of wheezy'd fstab. Hopefully I will not have that problem in reverse because there's about 150 GB of stuff on the old wheezy drive to copy over. I did that, and I could read a dir or 3, but when I rebooted to wheezy again, it had to do a 20 minute e2fsck of the wheezy drive, which it did w/o reporting any errors. Looks like I need help before I really screw this up. So first, what do I edit or nuke to get rid of the gnome over-ride? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

TDE, Debian Install Wiki page (unclear/errors?)
by Michael 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

I stumbled across this from the TDE, Devuan Wiki page, and unfortunately I don’t have enough knowledge of Debian to know what a proper fix, or additional wording for a clarification, for these would be. Ref: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall > Section: 4.1 Fresh R14.0.x installation lists TDE v3.5.13.2 instructions… (I can’t really tell, but I think a header got left out?) > Section: 4.2 Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation has the command, “sudo aptitude full-upgrade” Per Googling, “full-upgrade is the former dist-upgrade” Per, https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.apt-get.html “such as the change from one major Debian version to the next, you need to use apt full-upgrade” Whatever the correct instructions are, is being forced to upgrade from say ‘7.x - wheezy’ to ‘9.x - stretch’ accurate? But, that does seem to directly conflict with the information presented in “1.1 R14.0.x series,” which implies I can stay on ‘7.x - wheezy’ and install R14x. # # # Would someone add some additional appropriate information to that page? And if the distribution upgrade is a requirement, also add some really ‘bold’ warnings? Best, Michael

konqueror copy/move file dates
by Marvin Jones 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Is there a setting somewhere to make konqueror preserve file dates when copying/moving files from pane to pane? I do not see any such thing in konqueror's settings. My Big Need is in copying/moving files off my camera's SD card... Thanks, Jonesy

Bug !
by Baron 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi Guys, Running Q4OS 64bit on an AMD dual core machine, Trinity desktop, R14.0.4 I think I might have stumbled on a bug. This morning I sent some Jpg images via Kmail 1.9.10 enterprise 35 0.20100827.1168748. I had three in a directory. I did "Cnrtl A" and selected all three to attach them to the mail. The first image was ignored and not attached. I tried with multiple images a couple of times, in each try the first item was ignored. I thought I had better mention it. Thanks guys, brilliant work. -- Best Regards: Baron
