TDE on Ubuntu looks different
by Thierry de Coulon 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

I am not used to Ubuntu, but I did install 18.04 to test AMD's graphic driver (which does not perform so much better than the FOSS one). However I have noticed that the (TDE) login screen on Ubuntu is different than the one on Debian: Can't get the TDE logo or the logout pictures to show. Not really important but it puzzles me...

tdm.log: more than repeated 100.000 messages: "unable to receive message"
by Stefan Krusche 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Good day everyone, I recently noticed tens of thousands of repeated messages of this kind in /var/log/tdm.log: unable to receive message […] unable to receive message XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 97881 requests (97881 known processed) with 185 events remaining. (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. # or: unable to receive message twin: Fatal IO error: client killed krootimage: Fatal IO error: client killed XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 951 requests (951 known processed) with 6 events remaining. (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. where "unable to receive message" is the almost innumerably repeated part. I'm running TDE: R14.0.6 PSB on Devuan/ascii Has anyone seen this or any idea where it comes from? Kind regards, Stefan

/var/log/tdm.log grows rapidly
by Stefan Krusche 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Good Day, /var/log/tdm.log gets filled up with hundreds of thousands of this particular message: unable to receive message unable to receive message unable to receive message unable to receive message […] After a couple of weeks not being rotated it has grown up to more than 100MB. Where does this message come from, TDE or any other program? What could be the solution to remedy that behaviour? Thank you for any hints. Kind regards, Stefan

/etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup not working on Buster
by Thierry de Coulon 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

Hi all, Maybe not really a Trinity issue, but: On my Toshiba z20t, I have setup so that I get an onscreen keyboard at login, for the (rare) occasions where I use the computer as a tablet. This had been talked about some time ago on this list and involves adding onboard & in /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup and killall onboard in /etc/trinity/tdm/Xstartup Now, the issue: this works perfectly on Stretch. It does not on Buster. Both installs on the same machine. Onboard itself works, simlpy it does not appear on the login screen on my Buster install. The only difference I can find (except for Debian's version) is that Buster's Trinity was installed from Slavek's repository. Thierry

Konqueror - Modify Right Click menu?
by Michael 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hi All, Is there a way to modify the Right Click menu in Konqueror? Specifically I’m trying to get the first choice from “Open with” to be on the right click main menu. Similar to when there is only one option to open the file type with (without having to delete all the available options but one). Before: Move to Trash Delete Open with => Preview with => Actions => Afterwards: Move to Trash Delete Open with KWrite Open with => Preview with => Actions => Thanks, Michael Ref: Submenu “Open with”: KWrite Kate Kedit Nano ...

confirmation of TDE key ring failure
by James D. Freels 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hello ! For several days now, I get the following error when updating or upgrading my TDE. Note: I am using the development archive for debian/buster or debian/stretch testing; i.e., deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb buster deps-r14 main-r14 (or buster if testing buster). The error messages from stretch update: W: GPG error: http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb stretch InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C93AF1698685AD8B W: The repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb stretch InRelease' is not signed. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. A similar error message if updating the buster archive. Yes, I have installed ii trinity-keyring 4:14.0.7~pre3-0debian9.0.0+2 all GnuPG key of the Trinity Desktop Environment repository and, I have also tried the command wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb but cannot seem to rid the error. The testing is going fine and I can actually install the packages with the "--allow-unauthenticated", but of course, I would rather not ! Anyone else with this problem? Is there a way to correct it on my end? -- James D. Freels, Ph.D., P.E. freelsjd(a)gmail.com

Just had a reason to reboot one of my machines remotely.
by Gene Heskett 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Greetings; And I had just had it update everything, 162 of the 165 packages being from TDE. From here, all indications of an extended to 20 minutes e2fsck or something. No response to a ping, no response to an attempted ssh -Y alias login. So I slip on a t-shirt and stumble out to the machine at 3AM, to be greeted by its own login greeter. So I logged in, all normal. And now that I'm logged in there, everything else is also working normally. So its own login has been moved up early so nothing in the way of services is running until after the local login. This. to be blunt, is a disaster for the way I have normally worked to maintain these machines for over a decade. Can this be unfixed? Its a right pain in the ass to be locked out of a machine because the local login hasn't been done.

PATH not set for root on Buster
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

I understand this is a Debian problem, not a TDE problem, however: On one machine I have installed Debian Stretch + TDE; no problem. On the same machine I installed (on another partition) Buster + TDE. Seems to work, however most commands don't work from konsole with su. The reason is that the path does not contain important directories. Now the following I don't really understand: The path is ok in the different files I could check. I've added "export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" to /root/.profile but it does not work. The result is that a command such as dpkg -i or dpkg-reconfigure does not work, until I issue the export PATH= directly in konsole Debian is fresh installed with netinstall. This is really inconvenient, so of there is no way to cure it I'm going back to Stretch. Thierry
