No more getting the login manager
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

OK, I'm looking like a newbie there, but I'm willing to learn :) Short story: I had a Thinkpad running Buster Today upgraded it to Bullseye, went fine Then I removed xfce (I guess this was the problematic move). Now my system boots to a prompt: login: If I do login, then startx, I get TDE. I've tried "systemctl set-default graphical.target" but no change. I know I can reinstall my backup but I'm sure there's someone here who will point me to the right way to start with the TDE login manager. Note that after removing xfce, at first it *did* boot to TDE login. Then it stopped doing it, and startx boot to... Gnome. I then removed Gnome and ran dpkg-reconfigure, so now startx starts TDE... but I have to login and startx. I'm a bit lost :( Thierry

Ubuntu 20.04 adding an icon link to app, trinity freezes
by Uwe Brauer 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi A friend of mine is using Ubuntu 20.04 (I still stick to 16.04) and the corresponding trinity version, as described in https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Ubuntu_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… It is possible to add a new icon, that links to an app, however, if one tries to chose a different png for better display the system starts to search, stops at 13% and we have to reboot the whole machine. Any idea what is the problem? Regards Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the ban of Russia from SWIFT. I support the EU membership of the Ukraine.

Not sure if it's a hit piece or legitimate news reporting, but I recently found this: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2022/254/Trinity-Desktop I didn't buy the article, so no telling what their conclusion is. Thought I'd share, best, Michael

No image thumbnails when accessing USB device via popup after plugging in
by Leskala 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

Hello everyone, when I plug in an USB storage device containing images like an SD card reader, Konqueror doesn't show thumbnails (previews) of image files on that device if I open it via the automatic popup window that is displayed after plugging in the device. There seem to be 3 distinct ways to reach the USB storage ("/dev/sdb1/" in this example) in Konqueror: 1. "system:/media/sdb1" - reached when plugging in an USB device and choosing "Open in New Window" from the popup - (popup configured via "Peripherals" > "Storage Media" in the control center) - image thumbnails do not work! 2. "media:/sdb1" - using the menu "Go" > "Storage Media" in Konqueror - image thumbnails work 3. "/media/<user>/<label>/" - actual path for the internal mountpoint, needs to be manually navigated to - image thumbnails work Number 1 is the problematic one and is the path Konqueror opens from the automatic storage media popup. I always have to resort to manually navigating to one of the other 2 paths in order to get image thumbnails to work, rendering the convenience of the automatic popup useless in cases where images are involved. Is there any way to fix this? Best regards, Leskala

Spell checking issue
by Marvin Jones 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Confused I am. Some of that is probably of my own making. I know I have a mis-spelled word in "a" spellchecker. And, it appears I have both 'standard' spell checkers in play: both `ispell` and `aspell`. `kwrite` seems to be using ispell `nano` seems to be using aspell Well, I've noticed that the spell checker in kwrite is happy with the spelling "everyting". nano is unhappy with the spelling "everyting", as it should be. The only user spellchecker files I can find in $HOME/ are: .aspell.en.pws .aspell.en.prepl There are no .ispell* files in $HOME/ There's no "everyting" in .aspell.en.pws - as confirmed by nano. I can find no other user file in $HOME/ that seems to be related to any spellchecker. But I know I've added 'words' in kwrite -- especially often-used acronyms, Two questions: Where is the user file for ispell's user added words? Can someone point me to a decent HOW-TO to set my system (Ubuntu) to use just _one_ of the spell checkers? Maybe I could clear up my multiple spell checker confusion. Well, I guess I have a third query: Could someone that uses ispell confirm whether or not "everyting" is in ispell's global dictionary?
