[trinity-users] screen blanker ???
by Gene Heskett 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Greetings all; I have a need to disable dpms and anything else associated with blanking the screen, sometime for around 12 hours. Our old friend xset has apparently been neutered and incapable to controlling any of this. So what is silently overriding these user set choices, something in TDE? Thanks all.

[trinity-users] Activating the Trinity Desktop Environment
by Klaus Cook 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

I am 80 years old and retired after a career in Systems programming and consulting, but I am a complete novice when it comes to Linux. I have decided to try Ubuntu 20.04 and as part of the learning process I decided to install the Trinity Desktop Environment. After struggling through the installation I finally was able to get the installation to run without errors, however, the Desktop does not activate when logging into Ubuntu. Also, Trinity is not listed in the "sessions" list on the log in page. 1. Is there anyway to check if the installation was completed correctly? 2. How do I activate the desktop if the installation was correct?

[trinity-users] ARM build
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

Hello all, Tried to upgrade/update my old pi 3. But I got a message saying it was impossible to install Libpoppler-tqt_4 and then TDE was broken. No biggie as I just wrote back the backup image but I don't know if this was a download problem or there is something missing in the repository.

[trinity-users] Avidemux hide and seek
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 20 Jun '20

20 Jun '20

Hello Humans (eck) AIs and others. I had avidemux minimized to systray when I had to restart kicker. The program is still running but the gui seems to have disappeared. I see "avidemux3_qt5 in ksysguard, and I can see the cpus under load, and the video file growing in size. So it's still working but no gui is visible. Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know how to get the gui to become visible again. The one with the best answer gets to live as The Borg Collective's pet, once we have taken over the multi-verse. Thanks in advance, Kate --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] KMail filter question
by Michael 20 Jun '20

20 Jun '20

Hi All, Is it possible to setup a KMail filter that will: - Only operates in one specific folder (and never in any other) - that removes all messages older than one month? I get a ton of server messages, 50+K per month, that are only useful for a specific number of days. I know how to filter these info only ones into a single folder, but the deleting I’m not too sure of. (and don't want to have to restore my mail system a dozen times in testing...)

[trinity-users] About A Boy, hmm.. a zombie - errr Transmageddon...
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

OK I'll like to begin by blaming, I mean crediting Nik for the clue I needed to build Transmageddon. He said it was a gtk3 app. So I installed all the related devel packages and built it. He was right, it was a gtk3 problem. Once I rebuilt it, it works great. Thanks to Nik and everyone. Hope everyone is fairing well in this zombie Apocalypse. Remember to double tap.

See what it pops out. If you are up to it, grab the source code and build it. If you get it working like that, that means the deb package is likely faulty somehow.

[trinity-users] try harder update?
by Felix Miata 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Does Debian have any kind of configuration option that can make 'apt upgrade' try harder to download all packages instead of all except one that for whatever mirror failure reason fails, and halting the upgrade process because that one file didn't download? It seems typical here that one package, any package, isn't found on the trinity mirrors on the first pass, but on second invocation of apt upgrade, that one package is fetched, and the entire apt upgrade continues to completion. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[trinity-users] transmegeddon video encoder
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

Hi humans, AIs and others. I've been playing with transmegeddon. It doesn't seem to work at all. I can open an avi video file but, if I open anything else, it crashes. Once I've set it up to convert the avi to say an ogm, it sits there doing nothing. Can someone else check it out?
