auto Right-click on selection
by Christian Schmitz 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Hi all. I have a Opensuse tumbleweed 7 days from update. And i foun a strange "function". Every time that i select something automatically is pressed right click ( drop down the menú). This is very annioning because select some files on konqueror implies move without question ( takes the right click as an anwser to menú move/copy/link) Personally i want disable any type of automation. Really i allways preffer do my own task, i dont like the autocopy to clipboard of selected text (strange thing from some time), no right click, i can done it if i want do it. Best Regards.

TDE keyboard layout crashes when clicked on systray icon
by Stefan Krusche 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Good day everyone, has anybody seen this? I prepared a bug report. I'm not sure where I should post it these days… TGW rather than bugzilla, I guess, right? Problem: When I click on the systray icon the xserver crashes fatally. TDE configuration: TDE keyboard layout is configured to provide de, de-neo, en-us keyboard layouts in that order. Keyboard layouts are applied at program level. Reproduce: Click on desktop and/or program window and then click on keyboard layout icon in systray. Symptoms: The screen goes black immediately and I have no more control via keyboard or mouse. After ~20-25 seconds I can hear a beep from the mainboard (it's a desktop PC), after another ~10-15 seconds I hear another beep, and sometimes a third one, after which a console screen appears from which I gather that Xorg crashed fatally. Any advice welcome, thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

Tmux in Konsole = screen corruption in Debian Buster
by Jan Stolarek 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

I noticed another problem after a recent update to Debian Buster: using Tmux in Konsole leads to screen corruption. More specifically, cleaning the screen (e.g. via Ctrl+L) does not work, leaving the screen garbled. At first I thought that this might have something to do with my tmux or .bashrc, but removing their config and running both bash and tmux on default settings leads to same results. Also, I noticed that the problem is only present in Konsole - other terminal emulators (e.g. xterm, lxterminal) work fine. Anyone knows a workaround?

Trinity won't start after updating Arch Linux - workaround for libice
by Snidely Whiplash 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

I just subscribed so I could post this workaround. It took me days to figure out what was actually wrong with the libice in Archaroo (I use Manjaro, but it's Arch's PGKBUILDS that they use for these packages). It's misleading because of the "ICE connection refused! No supported authentication protocols" etc. What happened is that the location of ICEauthority has been changed to /run/user/UID/ICEauthority (which is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) from ~/.ICEauthority and it doesn't jibe. Blank files are being created in both locations, that don't get the magic cookie data written to them. A workaround is to simply set an ICEAUTHORITY environment variable... export ICEAUTHORITY=/home/yourname/.ICEauthority I just added that variable to the top of my ~/.xinitrc file that I use with startx export ICEAUTHORITY=/home/grogan/.ICEauthority exec starttde I am using current git sources for trinity, and that workaround works for me. I love Trinity by the way, it's my favourite desktop in the world. (I liked KDE 3.x back in the day).

Trinity won't start after updating Arch Linux
by Lucas dos Santos 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi, I just installed Trinity R14.0.5 [1] in a recently installed Arch Linux based system and I'm not able to start the DM. I added 'exec starttde' line to .xinitrc and made the needed changes in my PATH variable, but, when I issue startx command, TDE won't open. Instead, the following message is shown: ----------- There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /home/username/.DCOPserver_hostname__0 Please check that the "dcopserver program is running! ---------- When I click 'OK', the TDE's splash screen appears, but the first icon keeps flash infinitely and the above mentioned message appears again underneath them. When I click on splash screen, it disappears and when I click in OK again, X exits to tty. The following video shows exactly what occurs: https://streamable.com/mlqy3 This is the output from starttde command: $ starttde [starttde] Starting starttde.

[starttde] Running /opt/trinity/shutdown/agent-shutdown.sh. [starttde] Trinity shutdown complete. Deleting files from ~/.trinity and /tmp directories [2] doesn't solve the problem. I have an old installation of Arch Linux in a virtual machine where Trinity works perfectly. So, I decided to play around with it and do some tests. That system was a little outdated. Thus I decided to do a pacman -Syu in order to update the system's packages. After updating, I no more could to start Trinity. It looks like that a new version from some package is breaking Trinity. Which one? I have no idea! But, I saved a list of the updated packages and also a list of packages' version before updating. Maybe some of you could try to find what package is causing the problem. Trinity works fine with the following packages' version: argon2-20171227-3 audit-2.8.5-2 btrfs-progs-5.1-1 bzip2-1.0.6-8 ca-certificates-mozilla-3.44-1 cmake-3.14.5-1 curl-7.65.1-2 dbus-1.12.14-1 dhcpcd-7.2.1-1 e2fsprogs-1.45.2-1 expat-2.2.6-1 ffmpeg-1:4.1.3-1 firefox-67.0.2-1 freetype2-2.10.0-2 gcc-8.3.0-1 gcc-libs-8.3.0-1 glib2-2.60.4-1 glibc-2.29-1 gnupg-2.2.16-1 gnutls-3.6.8-1 gpgme-1.13.0-1 grub-2:2.02-8 gtk-update-icon-cache-1:3.24.8+177+gae2ef1472c-1 gtk3-1:3.24.8+177+gae2ef1472c-1 guile-2.2.4-2 harfbuzz-2.5.1-1 iana-etc-20190531-1 iproute2-5.1.0-1 iptables-1:1.8.2-1 iso-codes-4.2-1 js60-60.7.0-1 kidletime-5.59.0-1 kwayland-5.59.0-1 kwindowsystem-5.59.0-1 lcms2-2.9-1 less-550-1 libarchive-3.3.3-1 libblockdev-2.21-1 libdrm-2.4.98-1 libice-1.0.9-2 libinput-1.13.2-1 libkscreen-5.16.0-1 libnftnl-1.1.1-1 libpciaccess-0.14-1 libqtxdg-3.3.1-3 libraw-0.19.2-1 libssh-0.8.7-1 libtool-2.4.6+42+gb88cebd5-3 libtorrent-rasterbar-1:1.1.12-1 libutil-linux-2.33.2-1 libuv-1.29.1-1 libva-2.4.1-1 libvpx-1.8.0-1 libwebp-1.0.2-1 libx11-1.6.7-1 libxi-1.7.9-2 libxt-1.1.5-2 libyaml-0.2.1-1 libzip-1.5.2-1 linux-5.1.9.arch1-1 linux-api-headers-5.0.7-1 linux-firmware-20190514.711d329-1 mesa-19.0.6-1 nano-4.2-1 nettle-3.4.1-1 nss-3.44-1 opera-60.0.3255.170-1 perl-5.30.0-2 polkit-0.116-1 proj-5.2.0-1 qt5-base-5.12.3-2 qt5-script-5.12.3-1 qt5-svg-5.12.3-1 qt5-x11extras-5.12.3-1 solid-5.59.0-1 sqlite-3.28.0-1 systemd-242.29-1 systemd-libs-242.29-1 systemd-sysvcompat-242.29-1 tzdata-2019a-1 udisks2-2.8.2-1 util-linux-2.33.2-1 wget-1.20.3-1 x265-3.0-1 xorg-fonts-encodings-1.0.4-5 xorg-server-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-common-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-devel-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xdmx-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xephyr-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xnest-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xvfb-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xwayland-1.20.5-1 xorg-setxkbmap-1.3.1-2 xorg-xauth-1.0.10-2 xorg-xbacklight-1.2.2-1 xorg-xclock-1.0.8-1 xorg-xinput-1.6.2-2 xorg-xwininfo-1.1.4-1 xorgproto-2018.4-1 xscreensaver-5.42-1 xterm-346-1 But, if I upgrade that packages, Trinity won't start.
