Autostart options?

Where to put autostart commands for TDE sessions? I would like to add "xmonad --replace" to invoke my favorite window manager in it. Cheers, Mike

OT - installing whonix / qubes ?
by William Morder 12 Dec '21

12 Dec '21

Sorry for the off-topic post, but I believe it was Mike, Michael, somebody here on the list, who recommended I try out Whonix. I did give it a brief try a few years ago, but don't remember much. Now, however, I have at last acquired a half-decent machine, 64-bit (Lenovo Ideapad 3 15.6" laptop), able to do the job. I hope I chose well. If I recall, one OS runs inside the other in a virtual machine ...? something like that. Anyway, if anybody can point me in the right direction, give me a few tips, then I think I'll be good to go. I've already managed to move through several different types of Linux distros, so I just need some advice for Whonix beginners. Already downloaded Qubes and Whonix iso images, in both Buster and Chimaera versions. Please feel free to write to my private email, so we don't clutter the list with my off-topic pursuits. ;-) Thanks for any help! Bill

TDE pre-installation issues and considerations
by Mike 11 Dec '21

11 Dec '21

Hi all! I am an Arch user on an old but fine 64-bit machine from about 2008. And that's one reason I might prefer TDE over mainstream Plasma/KDE, because it's probably much lighter on resources and has less overhead and dependencies. And since I am also a fan of the tiling WM XMonad, I want to make work both of them together; let's see if it's going to be XMonad inside TDE, or XMonad along with Trinity's KDE 3.5 apps. And I'm pretty sure they'll make a good team! Currently, I have disabled Plasma and simply run XMonad in EMWH desktop compliant mode (i.e. no KDE/Plasma) invoking single KDE apps, designed by GTK or GTK/Qt styles, and using alternative status bars. The virtual desktops are managed by "pcmanfm --desktop"; compositor is xcompmgr (or betimes compton, the legacy version of picom). That's my status quo. Soon, I am about to get rid of all of "modern" KDE, Plasma, and Qt5/6 stuff – prior to installing TDE's binaries! These are my prime resources of knowledge: [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity#Binary_packages ] <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity#Binary_packages> [ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#trinity ] <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#trinity> [ http://trinitydesktop.org/ ] <http://trinitydesktop.org/> [ https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.11 ] <https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.11> Yet there are still a couple of issues and questions: (1) Failure of the Trinity repo integration --------------------------------------------- I followed the Arch wiki's instructions for adding key and repo. $ sudo -i # pacman-key --recv-keys 0x8685AD8B gpg: key C93AF1698685AD8B: public key "Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key" imported gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 786C63F330D7CB92: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 1EB2638FF56C0C53: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: key 1EB2638FF56C0C53: no user ID for key signature packet of class 10 gpg: marginals needed: 3 completes needed: 1 trust model: pgp gpg: depth: 0 valid: 1 signed: 7 trusted: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u gpg: depth: 1 valid: 7 signed: 83 trusted: 1-, 0q, 0n, 6m, 0f, 0u gpg: depth: 2 valid: 79 signed: 26 trusted: 79-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 0u gpg: next "Trust-DB" validation on 2022-01-20 gpg: total number of keys processeed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 # joe /etc/pacman.conf ... [trinity] Server = https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/archlinux ... Updating the system then fails: # pacman -Syu error: trinity: signature from "Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key" is unknown trust error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature)) Well, I mean there are "trusted: 79-" = 79 dis-trusted keys and no user IDs..? So I wonder if there are any changes, or if the provided gpg key (and Arch's wiki) is outdated, and would like to ask for the latest valid one. (2) KDE 3.5 virtual desktop management --------------------------------------- I am also a fan of different wallpapers for the virtual desktops, "pcmanfm --desktop" can do that! – So, is KDE 3.5 able to create individual workspaces? If yes, I am probably going to run XMonad inside KDE with the "kdeConfig" module; c.f. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xmonad#KDE_and_xmonad https://wiki.haskell.org/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_KDE If no, I will first also trying to do the latter AND to load "pcmanfm --desktop" with a certain delay. – Or, I dispense with the KDE desktop and just run KDE apps. An example: As in [ http://trinitydesktop.org/faq/desktop.php#idm140487998295328 ] <http://trinitydesktop.org/faq/desktop.php#idm140487998295328>, does something like kstart --desktop 1 --activate --window "feh-bg1" 'feh --bg-scale /path/to/image1.file' kstart --desktop 2 --activate --window "feh-bg2" 'feh --bg-scale /path/to/image2.file' work (to have different walls on desktop #1 and #2)? (3) Conflicts with official Arch KDE/Plasma stuff? --------------------------------------------------- I wonder if there aren't any problems having both modern KDE/Plasma/Qt and Trinity's KDE 3.5/Qt packages in parallel? I don't intend to and would like to stay with pure Trinity stuff – but couldn't this happen by accident though: interfering dependency conflicts, or double versions of KDE apps? Thanks in advance!

Raspbian Buster resolution problem
by Thierry de Coulon 04 Dec '21

04 Dec '21

Hello all, I've been testing a Raspi 4. Works well with the Raspbian Desktop (it's running Raspbian Buster, latest update, with kernel 5.10.63 and TDE 14.0.12 (PSB). The problem is I can only get 1024x768. I've set the pi to 1920x1080 with raspi-config, then 1920x1080 does appear in Trinity Control Center, but choosing it results in a black screen. All this works with a Pi 3B+ (although I have not updated the distribution). Anyone running TDE on a Pi 4? Thierry

Marking spam
by J Leslie Turriff 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

When I originally set up Kmail, I used the Spam Wizard to handle spam. It puts it into a folder called 0_Spam? (0_ to keep it near the top of the folder list), but doesn't mark it as 'read' so that I know it's there. I can also use the Message => Apply Filter => Filter Classify as spam action to mark stuff that gets past the regular spam filter. Since at that point I've already decided that it's spam, it would be nice to have it mark it as 'read' in addition to putting it into 0_Spam?; is it possible to do that somehow? Leslie -- Operating System: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.11 tde-config: 1.0
