A look at the narrow version of the webpage
by E. Liddell 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

For your amusement (and to test whether I can actually *post* to the new mailing lists, since I got the confirm and welcome mails, but other messages have only been coming from the old list), I offer the following glimpses of what the tweaked website will look like on smaller devices: Really narrow screens (such as phones) will see this: https://i.postimg.cc/m2tsMdWb/tdepage-phone.png Note the vertical menu at the bottom, and the header has been resized so that the word "Development" doesn't overflow off the screen to the right. Screens between 520px and 800px wide (of which I don't expect to find many—some tablets held in portrait mode, maybe) will get this instead: https://i.postimg.cc/y6fKkM5Q/tdepage-medium.png Menu horizontal at the bottom, header larger but still not full-sized. At 800px, it reverts to the format we all know and . . . love? In any case, at 800px, the sidebar takes up a little more than 20% of the screen, which should be acceptable to most. The resizing trick doesn't work in Konqueror, unfortunately, since it doesn't support CSS @media queries at the necessary level, but I am going to be very surprised if anyone manages to get Konqueror onto a phone. The page does resize itself correctly on the three modern browsers I've tested. E. Liddell

The problem becomes, and naturally so, that TDE may need to become upstream for the various components of Amarok, or Amarok itself it upsteam support is gone. There was a lengthy discussion on the openSuSE list about Amarok and specifically whether a "better alternatives exist.". There were none found that provided the traditional features or behavior of Amarok, which mitigates in favor of patching Amarok and continuing to offer it. There were always shortcomings in the supposed better alternatives that either required hacks or workarounds, even for behavior as trivial as continual play. Just another angle to consider. The openSuSE list discussion was within the past 2-weeks, though I must have deleted that thread. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Wiki import did not import files?
by Michael 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Somewhat a guess, but when the wiki was moved, did the files not get moved at the same time? https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/index.php?title=Category:Pages_with_broken_… I was looking at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Kmail_Sanitize_and_Decrypt_Mails and noticed the file Kmail-decrypt-and-sanitise-mail.gz isn’t there anymore. If you were an author of one of these: DevelopmentSpecificationsKCMLDAPController Java Integration (KDE3 Architecture) Kmail Sanitize and Decrypt Mails KMDI Tutorial Sample Applications and you still have the missing files, would you re-upload them? Best all, Michael

Migration of services - 4. wiki
by Slávek Banko 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi all, the fifth service on the migration list is wiki. -- Migration status -- A new wiki has been created, data from the existing one has been migrated. User accounts have not been migrated, so users must create new ones. -- What needs to be done -- A new TDE skin remains to be created. Some wiki pages deserve to be updated - for example, Project RoadMap, Nightly Builds,... I have an idea that pages with information about individual applications could be created in the wiki, so that an overview of these pages can replace the list of applications, which is statically on the main web. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the new mailing lists? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

Migration of services - 5. bugzilla
by Slávek Banko 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi all, the fifth service on the migration list is Bugzilla. For the Bugzilla, the situation is significantly different, because we need to discuss here before any steps are taken. -- Migration status -- Bugzilla is on Tim's original infrastructure. Therefore, no one else can manage the current instance. And there are various issues that we are currently unable to resolve, such as problem with login when https is used. So it definitely needs some change. -- What needs to be done -- First of all, we need to discuss and decide whether we want to continue using Bugzilla. As mentioned earlier, TGW is now used as a comprehensive workspace. And TGW contains Issues that can be used instead of bug reports in a separate Bugzilla. There are several benefits to using Issues. Above all, Issues are well integrated into the development workflow. It also provides good comfort - for example, it is possible to use comment formatting to make it more readable and clear. At the same time, it seems like a good idea to use one problem reporting tool rather than two independent ones. If we find a consensus that there is no significant reason to use Bugzilla, we need to decide how to deal with existing bug reports. There are two options: 1) Migrate Bugzilla to a new instance, which will be locked for adding new bug reports. This can be done more easily. However, the problem remains that there will continue to be two places for users to look for problem reports. 2) Migrate bug reports from Bugzilla into Issues in TGW and then stop Bugzilla completely. Although it is likely to be more difficult to do, I think it would be a better solution. -- More ideas and suggestions? What is your opinion on Bugzilla migration? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

compositing
by Felix Miata 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

I see no option to turn compositing on or off in KControl's display settings. Is there one somewhere else? Does TDE never use it? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

TDE, ALSA and a seperate mic ...
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi all! I've an interesting problem: On my T14 the speakers are on hw:0 and are linked to the speaker-led (led on: mute, led-off: unmute - looks like a hardware thingie as toggling the led toggles the speaker). And there's a ghost-mic on hw:0 that looks like a loopback device from PCM-out to sound-input. HDMI is on hw:1 and does nothing useful (no HDMI monitor attached). The onboard mic is hw:2,0 - it's offically recognised as "asc" without any controls (not even on/off). It's also detached from the mic led - I can toggle the LED but the mic stays on. Now kmix sees hw:0 and hw:1, but not hw:2 - and krec cannot capture sound. Audacity sees hw:0 + hw:1 + hw:2 and can record sound. Is there a trick to make TDE aware of that "asc" mic?

[trinity-users] Desktop theme regression in preliminary stable builds?
by Philip Ashmore 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hi there. Rather than file a bug which might not get noticed immediately I thought I would post here, sorry if that's not the right thing to do, but I thought it a good idea to start a thread to keep track of the issues. I'm running preliminary stable builds on bullseye/sid. The theme defaults to something from the Windows 95 time frame. I set it back to keramik, everything's back to how I want it. Manually save session, restart X and it's back to Windows 95. Konqueror has a background noise image in the detailed list view I don't remember it having before, plus the icons in the detailed list view are larger those in the tree view. The science screen saver, when activated hides all windows, shows the desktop background, and does nothing. At least the session manager doesn't crash when shutting down, which is a plus.

Libreoffice 7 + avahi + TDE
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 Dec '20

01 Dec '20

Hi all! I think the GNOMEs of GNOME have done it again. I just ran across 3 problems: 1) TDE sees all CUPS-printers in the LAN and can print to them. Libreoffice 7 does not. 2) Libreoffice uses 96dpi, no matter what I do. The workaround with GDK_DPI_SCALE=1.33 does not work any more. Does anybody know how I can solve these issues?

Trinity Slax LiveCD
by Edward 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Does anyone know which Debian version the latest Trinity Slax LiveCD is based on? Although I have the Trinity Debian (20.04.1) image installed in a VirtualBox, Debian has not updated Thunderbird to version 78.5 (the latest from Mozilla) for this release. They have provided 78.5 for Debian 20.10, but for 20.04.1 and the previous two LTS releases, Thunderbird is still on version 68, which is now EOL'd and has been for some time now Thanks.
