Is Bluetooth free?
by lee892533＠gmail.com 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Yes, the songs are transmitted to your headphones, but that's over a paired Bluetooth connection between the headphone and the phone. And there's no cost to that. You only pay for the data transmitted to your smart device over the phone company's network by way of using the app. https://spacebarcounter.org

Error - Kicker; Malformed URL; system:/
by Felix Miata 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

I see this error popup on various installations. The instant one is a 32bit Bookworm freshly upgraded from Bullseye with 14.0.12. Bullseye does it too. The trigger is left clicking on the menu starter. On those where it ever occurs, it only happens once. Trying again after dismissing the popup always works. Anyone familiar with it, what to do to eliminate it? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Do we want to participate in social networks?
by Slávek Banko 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

Hi all, some time ago I was thinking about whether we want to become an active member of social networks with our project. Things like Facebook and Twitter have always been "no go" zones for me. However, I've been thinking about the Mastodon platform for a long time. Mastodon is a decentralized platform for publishing short messages and pictures. It is based on open source architecture and therefore this platform is close to our ideas. You can see profiles of other projects like @kde@floss.social, @gnome@floss.social, and others. I assume that it would help to "make us visible" and information could be published there, for example about the release of new versions, or some useful information regarding development, screenshots, solving issues and community info. Does it seem like a good idea for us to have an official communication channel for our project on Mastodon? What is your opinion on this? Cheers -- Slávek

kpdf does not show some fonts

Hi all; Maybe somebody can reproduce this: opening the attached pdf in kpdf only shows the formulas, but not the text. Opening the same pdf in xpdf works flawless. kpdf-trinity 4:14.1.0~s218-0debian12.0.0+13~b1 Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

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.

Trying to install Trinity on rhel9
by Ricardo Telichevesky 09 Jan '23

Hello, Having problems with dependency on rocky-backgrounds and rocky-logos .... I followed the steps in here ... https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/RedHat_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… enabled EPEL, RPMFUSION, installed http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/el9/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarc… However, if I try to install trinity, I get the message: [super@legendre ~]$ sudo yum install trinity-desktop-all [sudo] password for super: Last metadata expiration check: 0:29:58 ago on Tue 27 Dec 2022 06:14:48 PM -03. Error: Problem: package trinity-desktop-all-14.0.13-1.el9.noarch requires trinity-desktop = 14.0.13, but none of the providers can be installed - package trinity-desktop-14.0.13-1.el9.noarch requires trinity-tdebase >= 14.0.13, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides rocky-backgrounds needed by trinity-tdebase-14.0.13-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides rocky-logos needed by trinity-tdebase-14.0.13-1.el9.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Tried to add --skip-broken and --nobest didn't help. Somehow the trinity for rhel9 depends on the rocky packages - that does not make any sense, does it? What should I do? Thanks for helping, Ricardo

tdevelop

Hi all! I just played around with tdevelop to build a simple test-application. However, I did not succeed. Is there anybody on the list who has actually used tdevelop to build a TQT3 or QT3 application that actually compiled and worked?

2 login sessions at once?
by Michael 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Maybe an odd question? Can you run two, or more, logins for the same user at the same time? (Say the normal one on Crtl-Alt-F7 and an extra one on Crtl-Alt-F5?) I have an app that behaves badly that I’d like to isolate to its own instance of TDE. (There’s no fix for it and when it it goes bad it requires a desktop restart.) Doable? Or anyway to do something equivalent? Thanks all, Michael

Plymouth error
by Thierry de Coulon 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Hello all, As I allready mentioned, I am using MX-Linux at school. I have now installed it on my laptop because it's the only Debian-based distribution I've found where Gnome-Display-Networks is working - which let's me connect my machine with a Microsoft Wireless dongle. To stop any discussion: no, I won't use Ubuntu or Mint, so I haven't tested those. I have installed Trinity on MX and it works well, with one glitch: - If I use TDM (dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity) there seem to be some problem at shutdown, wich leads to - sometime, not always - a failure of X to start at boot (I did not write down the message but it's something about a Plymouth failure). If I log in (cli) and then start X it works. - If I use lightdm there is no problem (except the less friendly greeter). From all this, I have concluded that the problem is linked to the use of Trinity's login screen. While I can live with lightdm, does anyone understand what the problem with plymouth is, and/or if it's possible to get TDM's greeter without plymouth? I seem to remember a time where plymouth had to be installed only for some versions of the greeter - maybe I'm wrong. Thierry
