Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.6 released, new target R14.0.7 started...
by Slávek Banko 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Hi all, if you have not seen announcement, R14.0.6 been released! http://www.trinitydesktop.org/newsentry.php?entry=2019.03.30 Although there are problems with the mirror system that we are trying to resolve, if you use url pointing to the main redirector in your sources lists, the packages are available to you despite this problem. As far as Ubuntu is concerned, the build of packages for Ubuntu 17.04 (Zesty) has been stopped, packages for Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic) have been added. Packages for Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco) are currently only available in the Preliminary Stable Builds repository. RPM packages and distributions has also been updated - François thank you! In earlier announcements you could read that there are updated LiveCDs - Slax with Trinity, and Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic). http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb/cdimages/ Now already begun work on a new target R14.0.7. Therefore in the Preliminary Stable Builds apt repository you can soon expect new packages. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Thank you for your attention :) Cheers -- Slávek

Moving TDE user ‘stuff’ to a new distribution
by Michael 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hi All, I’m looking to move all my user data, config’s, and profiles (for KMail, Konsole, LibreOffice, Calibre, Zim, ...) from my old machine to the new machine. Old: Ubuntu 14.04 New: MX-18 I tried a wholesale replacement of the entire user-dir, which did not go well... Too many non-TDE menu differences, the entire TDE menu disappeared, and the only applet left in the Panel was the quick launcher. So, I’m going for the move ‘just the guts’ approach... I can track down all the somewhat random application dirs like ~/.gimp and “~/Calibre Library” as well as the regular Documents/Download type dirs. But, will any of TDE’s desktop configuration type files[1] be overwritten by replacing these directories wholesale from the old system? ~/.trinity/share ~/.local/share ~/.config ~/.kde/share [2] Are there any other directories that have user type information that I’m missing? And, are there any directories that need to be excluded (as it’d break the new system’s TDE if overwritten)? Thanks, Michael [1] Things like menus, panels, and desktop settings files. [2] Oddly ~/.kde has recently written to files in it, who knew stuff is still being stuck there... I don’t have KDE installed, and have only booted TDE for at least the last 3 years; all these (and probably a few more) have been modified in the last month: .kde/share/config/kfilemodulerc .kde/share/config/kdeglobals .kde/share/config/startkdeinitlockrc .kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments/

It works well for testing but the "Install" does not work. When clicking "install", nothing happens. I tried the command from the icon properties in a terminal: nothing happens, no error, nothing. Something is missing I think. Regards, Pascal

Two-up icons in vertical panel bars?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Because I now have a high-resolution widescreen monitor, I keep all of my working icons in vertical panels on the left and right sides of my display to maximize the amount of vertical space for windows. I like to have my Preview & Pager applet set to two columns for easy switching between desktops, and that makes me want to use a Large size panel, but that means that I'm running out of space for application icons. Is there any way to make my icons appear two-up, the way the ones in the System Tray do? In the attached screenshot, both the right (main) panel and left panel are Large size. As can be seen, when the left panel is set to Large size, there's no more room for application icons. If the icons in the left panel could be displayed the way the ones in the System Tray appear, that would be very helpful. N.B. I don't like to use desktop icons, and I don't like using shortcut keys for switching desktops. Leslie

TDE & conky
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi all! I try to get a transparent background with conky, but somehow I need dirty tricks to make it going: When I start conky from .xinitrc ("sleep 15; conky -d"), the background is blue and stays blue when TDE is running. Conky writes text on that blue background, but never erases it, so it gets unreadable after some time. Switching to another desktop and back again does not change this. The behaviour is the same without delay, so that TDE starts in parallel and twin comes up after conky. When I start conky from .trinity/Autostart/<something>.desktop - which calls only "sleep 15; conky -d", then the background is black and stays black, conky erases it before writing. Switching to another desktop and back again gives a pseudo-transparent background in conky. When twin comes up after conky, then the background of conky is as above (blue without erase). I have put the second way including switching desktops into a file that's called from TDE autostart, so things basicly work. But what I do not understand: what is the difference from calling conky from .xinitrc to calling it from .trinity/Autostart? And what chages, if twin comes up before/after conky? I'm quite sure that this is TDE specific, 'cause when running fvwm I do not observe this. And it looks like it is OS agnostic, I see the same thing happen on FreeBSD, too.

Problem with starting arduino ide (from devel to user)
by MLR 06 Apr '19

06 Apr '19

Hi again. Did Nik mean chmod o+w or chmod a+w? I looked to the manpage, a+w is writeable for everyone. It can solve the message "failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp'". But I learned that user shouldnt write in /etc/... folder. When I made chmod a+w /etc/tqt3 does it affect on /etc or only in /etc/tqt3? I dont want to destroy my system. :/ For the new readers, this is my problem: I have ubuntu 18.4 with trinity R14.0.5. If I want to start the arduino ide from arduino.cc (download and extract arduino-1.8.7-linux64.tar.xz) there comes the splash-screen for one second and it crashes with this message: ~/arduino-1.8.7$ ./arduino Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing What I have to install or change? I logged in today with the ubuntu standard desktop and the arduino ide works great. deloptes points in devel to $CLASSPATH, the var in empty in my shell. ./arduino is a bash script.
