[trinity-users] My tdewalletmanager suddenly stopped working.
by J Leslie Turriff 12 May '20

12 May '20

I use tdewalletmanager as a convenience to store my passwords for kmail and konqueror (fish:). Last night I refreshed my Trinity installation, and everything was working fine (through several login/logout iterations), but the second time I logged in today, suddenly tdewalletmanager didn't start, and kmail prompted me for my mail service passwords. I shut down kmail, then tried to start tdewalletmanager, but it would not start from the menu or the command line. I was able to start it by using 'open with...' in konqueror on kdewallet.kwl, but though the file is 1.3K, kwallet manager shows no file tree! It appears that tdewalletmanager can no longer read my wallet files. I noticed that the privileges for that file were set to -rw-rw-rw- and set them to -rw------ in case that was an issue, but that didn't help, though now I can start tdewalletmanager from the command line. What should I do to find out what's gone wrong?

[trinity-users] could not start tdeinit
by Felmon Davis 10 May '20

10 May '20

folks, I can't get back into the desktop, been having file system problems so this is likely related but for now I just want back to the desktop however fragile. I get an error message after entering username and password: "There was an error setting up inter-process comunication for TDE." then: "could not read network connection list check dcopserver is running" then if I press 'ok' I get: "could not start tdeinit. Check your installation." I have tried removing the .ICEauthority and other .dcop stuff from the home directory. the system is on Buster. I just did the latest upgrade several days ago. (the file system problems started earlier; occasionally 'read-only' system so have to run fsck.) ssd, kinda of aged. grateful for tips. -- Felmon Davis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] Question about the names in TDE-Components -> Session Manager -> Applications to be excluded
by J Leslie Turriff 08 May '20

08 May '20

In TDE-Components -> Session Manager -> Applications to be excluded, are the application names the actual names of the binary files, or the names of the entries in TDE Menu? Or either?

[trinity-users] TDE celebrating its 10th anniversary with new R14.0.8 release!
by Slávek Banko 03 May '20

03 May '20

Ten years ago today, the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) saw the release of its first version (3.5.11). Lot of things have happened since that day but TDE has continued to grow and flourish throughout the years. Today the project is healthier than ever, with dedicated self-hosted servers, regular releases, modern collaboration tools and a vibrant community of users and enthusiasts. The development team is pleased to celebrate TDE's 10th birthday by announcing the immediate availability of the new TDE R14.0.8 release. TDE is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software. R14.0.8 is the eighth maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.7 version. Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both major new features and major codebase re-factoring. R14.0.8 Release Notes This section highlights some of the most important fixes introduced by this maintenance release. Bug fixes * Fixed avahi support * Fixed parsing of CPU cores frequency on some hardware * Fixed parsing of battery information on some hardware * Fixed detection of closing thelid on some hardware * Fixed incorrect update of KNote "last modified" field * Fixed several FTBFS caused by newer library versions * Fixed K3B crashes when trying to write an audio CD with cd text * Fixed tdenetworkmanager crashes Enhancements * Many translation updates * Several packages have been migrated to CMake build system * For some packages have been dropped the automake build system * Added option to disable tdekbdledsync * Added option to select default file manager * The selected default terminal is also used for Open terminal here * Improved LibreSSL support * Improved musl libc support * Improved support for DilOS distribution * Improved support for XDG folders * Improved support for Pinebook Pro * Initial work to support reproducible builds * Initial support for translating desktop files using Weblate * Using Ninja build for Cmake building on FreeBSD * Dropped Kerry and code related to Beagle search Security * CVE-2019-14744: Solved similar cases of arbitrary code execution from .desktop files The full version of the release notes is available at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.8 The complete list of bugs fixed in this release is available at these locations (please note that two lists complement each others, they are not duplicates): * TGW issue list https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/27 * Bugzilla reports https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=3060&hide_resolve… A detailed commit change log is also available at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.0.8 Useful notes on upgrading Please read through the following notes before upgrading. If applicable to your system, follow the recommended steps. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/index.php?title=Release_Notes_For_R14.0.8#U… Getting TDE Installation instructions and binary packages are immediately available for Debian and Ubuntu. Packages for RedHat/CentOs, Fedora, Mageia, OpenSUSE, and PCLinuxOS are being built by their respective maintainers and may be already available or will be soon. Live CDs with TDE R14.0.8 preinstalled are or will be available soon on the LiveCDs page. FreeBSD Support TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome. Credits and acknowledgements We thanks all the people that are (or have been) involved in making TDE the great desktop environment that it is. We would like to thank IntegriCloud for kindly providing a powerful physical server based on a secure POWER9 architecture that serves as the new TDE primary host and as a very powerful builder for ppc64el packages. We would like to thank vpsFree for kindly providing free hosting for some of the TDE services, most notably our self-hosted TDE Gitea Workspace and TDE Weblate Translation Workspace. We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to improve translations for many languages. We are looking forward for further contributions in future. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.8#Translators Contribute to TDE development The TDE development team is small but friendly. If you wish to participate in the TDE development process, please visit the Get involved page for additional information.

Join us in congratulating TDE on its 10th birthday!!

[trinity-users] How to add to the File Associations for directories/folders?
by J Leslie Turriff 01 May '20

01 May '20

When I right-click on a directory and select "Open with..." I see a list of applications, which are mostly file-management related: FileLight, TDESVN, etc. I want to add VLC to the list, but I can't figure out how to use File Associations for this; there seems to be no entry for "folder" or "directory". What am I missing?

[trinity-users] Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.8 released, new target R14.0.9 started...
by Slávek Banko 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hi all, soon after the release of R14.0.8, a window was opened to work on R14.0.9. Although several commits have already been pushed, building packages for R14.0.9 will begin later, because we now want to leave it for a while on the final R14.0.8. 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. The packages in both repositories will be identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. I intend to begin building R14.0.9 preliminary packages on May 8th. Thank you for your attention :) Cheers -- Slávek
