Greetings all; There is an .mp4 on the u-sd card that comes with the creality ender3 pro 3d printer that I'd like to play.

[trinity-users] Downgrade trinity.
by relosrl 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Last weekend I updated tde to version R14.0.8. From that moment the system becomes progressively slow until it becomes unusable. Frequent application crashes. Kicker crashes every time I change virtual desktop. Ubuntu 16.04 on LTSP. It's an unusual configuration, I think it's very difficult to investigate and I'd rather go back to the previous version. How can I do that? I enclose what I was able to get on a crash.

[trinity-users] Does Trinity run on Debian Testing?
by Janek Stolarek 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

I just got myself a new PC but sadly some of the newer hardware is not yet supported in Debian Stable. I'm considering turning to Debian Testing instead but the question is whether Trinity runs on it? Does anyone have any experience they can share?

[trinity-users] r14-xdg-update script problem
by L.S. McCarty 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

I'm a long-time TDE user who just updated to the final TDE 14.0.8 from the 14.0.8 development version. I'm using a Debian sid version with kernel 5.6.0-7.1-liquorix-amd64 which has been working well. The update went well and everything appears to be working fine (not too surprised there as the development versions were good) but there is an issue at startup. There are 3 notices that come up that indicate the r4-xdg-update script has not completed successfully. I've restarted about 6 or 7 times but it hasn't gone away. It says "error code 9 Common failures include file and directory permissions" The file "r14-xgd-update-validation-test9.txt" contains the text below <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-superkaramba.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-fsview.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kbiff.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kpdf_part.desktop</Filename> I'm not sure exactly how to proceed but expect the solution is some relatively simple editing of some TDE configuration files. Please advise. Thank you in advance for any assistance rendered. L.

[trinity-users] konqueror rocks
by Marvin Jones via trinity-users 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

I'm build a linux workstation for my wife -- her first linux box. Since her last immersion in command line usage was back in CP/M day, and then DOS before Windows, I am trying to set her up with as many GUI solutions as possible. konqueror is, of course, a prime choice! We both work on web sites, and move "stuff" to and fro a VPS we share. In my own usage I've been using `sshfs` to mount the remote file system on a mount point in my $HOME -- do whatever I needed to do -- then unmount the remote file system. ... all at the command line. An annoyance I've always cursed is the inability of `cp`, `mv`, or even `rsync` to replicate the from_file permissions to the to-file's permissions with the `sshfs` mounts -- because the owning userids are different between the two file systems. Even tho', immediately after getting the error message from `cp`, I can `chmod` the permissions to what I want without any error. sigh... That command line Miky-Maus was not something I wanted to foist on my wife. So, I spent maybe an hour today trying to find a way around the problem in general. No joy. So, for the first time in my testing, I fired up konqueror with two panes: one pane on $HOME/ amd the other pane on the already-mounted remote file system. Then I copied from a local directory a large collection of files with many, many different possible permissions set all the way through the public permissions. I was going to go through the "right click on the file" => "Properties" => "permissions" => owner|group|others change process to make a write up for her to follow. KONQUEROR ROCKS! The file were all copied up to the remote file system WITH THE ORIGINAL FILE'S PERMISSIONS!!! KONQUEROR ROCKS! Thank you KDE; Thank you TDE; Thank you Trinity!! (Gee... I sure hope that's not a bug!!! If so, DON'T FIX IT!!!) Life is good!

[trinity-users] Problem with twin and recent Firefox repainting when switching desktops
by Snidely Whiplash 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

When switching virtual desktops back to the one where Firefox is open, when certain pages are displaying on the active tab, the window contents do not repaint until moving the mouse over a mouseover effect (e.g. a hoverable link) changes the window status. The window then shows its contents. This started for me with Firefox 73, got somewhat better with Firefox 74 (could only reproduce it on one page, a specific Vbulletin forum listing) and got worse than ever with Firefox 75. Now it happens with most pages that have a list of hoverable links. For example Vbulletin forum listings, and even https://www.kernel.org This does not happen with Fluxbox, seems to be only with TDE/twin. I can reproduce it on both my Manjaro and Linux From Scratch systems. I thought maybe enabling the compositing ("composition manager") might help with this (I build support for it, but I don't enable it) but it neither helps nor harms. A previous cause of this in Firefox was "focusmanager.testmode" but that's set to false now and not applicable. Anybody else seeing this behaviour, or know of any settings or command line arguments for twin that might change this paint behaviour? Thanks,
