Ksnapshot
by phiebie＠drei.at 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Trinity 14.0.6 preliminary. Don't know if it is a feature of ksnapshot or a misconfiguration somewhere from me, but it is getting absolutely annoying what happens. I have a website, a document or whatsoever on my screen in full A4-papersize. Now I want a printout of a small part of it. Call ksnapshot, choose "region" "new snapshot" and then draw a border around the desired part. Press "print" and then print it. Bull... I get a print in landscape, useless and even worse not even the original layout reappears. Stop ksnapshot, restart it and same procedure with again the same miserable result. Stop, restart, same procedure but no actual printing, instead I look into the printer properties. And there, big surprise, landscape was marked as to be printed BUT all 4 orientations were grayed out, so I couldn't change that. Checked in tdeprint the printersettings, nothing wrong, in "instances" "settings" all 4 orientations were available and portrait was marked as to be applied in the default printer. Checked kprinter and of course the settings of tdeprint were there also valid. But then I had an idea. If I selected in ksnapshot a larger part of the screen, say more than half A4, what would happen? Yes, some ugly words from me and there it was: portrait was marked but still all 4 possibilities grayed out. So ksnapshot decides how it wants to print and doesn't leave the user a chance to get a result, that he wants. Utterly bull.... Any suggestion, where I could look to alter this behaviour? Phiebie.

Lost TDE Display Manager and other TDE issues after upgrade to Debian 11
by Edward 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

After upgrading to Debian 11 on both of my two systems, upon reboot, I lost the TDE Display Manager. The login screen defaults to whatever Debian itself uses and I have been unsuccessful getting the TDE login manager back. > ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity > tdm.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. Also...during the upgrade, one of the packages it wanted to remove was binutils, which it did. It left a package binutils-common installed, but not upgraded. If I attempted to remove binutils-common, it also wanted to remove numerous Trinity packages. Is there a fix for these issues?? -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Dcopserver not loading
by Ken Heard 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Very soon after I started to use the TDE 14.0.11 version I began receiving DCOP error messages, having the effect of preventing use of various applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. After online research and experimentation on my part I discovered that I could solve such preventions if before opening TDE I ran in a tty as root the following three commands: 'dcopserver -- serverid', which returned nothing, then 'dropserver' and finally again 'dcopserver -- serverid'. This time however that command returned something like the following: '[dcopserver] local/Morcom:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop5698-1636014592' >From this point on there were no longer any more DCOP error messages. I had full use of the TDE and various applications until when I next closed completely the computer. It is consequently my understanding that running the 'dcopserver' command is presumably required as part of the initial boot-up. If such is usually the case I would appreciate knowing what I need to do to have my computer, named Morcom, do so as well. Can anyone tell me?

Cannot open kwickshow and gwenview
by Ken Heard 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

Not only can these two applications not be opened from the TDE menu, but also can they not be opened when called for by Dolphin or Konqueror. When trying to open them from the menu, there is no response of any kind. When I want to look at jpgs with Dolphin the response is 'Kwickshow cannot be launched by Dolphin.' Likewise if I try to open them with Konqueror, the response is 'Gwenview cannot be launched by Konqueror.' It would appear that software needed to open these apps is missing. (I am installing -- or trying to install -- TDE R14.0.11 at first and lately now R14.0.12 [Experiment] on a new machine with Debian Bullseye.) I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to solve this problem.

tdm
by mb850063＠proximus.be 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

hello, Installed Debian Bullseye with trinity Desktop on a Laptop 64bits. Without TDM, this is : starting the XWindows trinity desktop form bash with the startx command, there is no problem, I can start various Desktops using Ctrl+Alt+Fx, where x is 1, 2, 3,.... If i enable TDM, i can only strat one session from TDM, keyboarding CXtrl+Alt+F1, i get the computer's starting log, with F2 or 3,..., i get a blank screen. On my i386 PC, i don't have the problem : with TDM installed, i still can access multiscreen desktop starts, for various users and also root login. Any hint ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

Apt repository for Devuan
by Slávek Banko 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi all, if you are using Devuan, you may have noticed with the release of R14.0.9 that there are newly available resources generated for Devuan distribution names in the apt repository. When entering a Trinity repository into the apt sources list, you no longer need to use equivalent Debian distribution names. The packages as such remain the same for both Debian and Devuan, as we still guard to maintain independence from systemd. See https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall Cheers -- Slávek

trinity doesn't work
by Gene Heskett 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

This is the 4th time I have tried to send to the list but ff wants to insist I send it to mgb. So I'm going to compose this the last time. Re the sudo -E: from wheezy thru jessie and stretch its been required since X would not allow root to use it without it, but I just went to a buster machine and I'll be dipped, it worked without the -E on a buster/xfce4 install. But I've become quite fam with "sudo chown -R gene:gene /home/gene" to fix such wonky perms because of it. Why it took debian 3 major version updates to fix it boggles my mind. Now, where was I. stuck in a one window jail cuz I can't get trinity to load and work. What I do know is that if I'm not using gdm3, I lose sudo rights as lightdm and tdm-trinity all want an admin pw and that doesn't exist. my sudo pw doesn't work. So lets start, one step at a time, what do I do to fix this? Thanks Mike, gene

[TDE-USERS] TRINITY DOESN'T WORK
by Gene Heskett 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

>apt is all you need for managing Debian packages, and your choice of >non-GUI editor for editing config files. All true IF you know exactly what you want. But synaptics ability to search is worth a lot. And I use nano, a lot. sudo nano runs anywhere. As pointed out previously this is a rootless install, and I am in the sudo group. But lightdm nor tdm-trinity know that so I can't use sudo then. So something is fubar, but what? Thanks Mike, Gene
