Root shell in konsole dies after one failed login attempt
by Stefan Krusche 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

Good Day everyone, I still wonder, after all those years, how to configure root login shell in konsole to ask again and not just die when I mistyped the password. Konsole is launched with the arguments "su --login" or "su --login -c 'mc -c'". 'su' in a USER shell also dies after one login attempt. So, it seems, su needs to be configured. But it is hard for me to see through su/pam configuration. Any help or hint is muchly appreciated. Thanks and kind regards, Stefan

by Michael 24 Jan '23

Is this a bug with TDE? Or does every clipboard do this? - Open Firefox, load a website - Copy the URL - Paste it into a blank Kwrite (works) - Close Firefox - You can no longer paste the URL anywhere Not a real biggy, just wondering. Best, Michael

Adjusting the colours of the Konsole display
by J Leslie Turriff 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

I'm trying out the Fish shell, which uses dynamic colouring of input and output strings. Some of the colours in the Linux Colors scheme are really hard to read (see attached), but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them?

Need feedback on feature idea: Keyboard layouts set up on first start
by blu.256 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

Hello everyone! I have been working on some fixes improvements to KXkb, the TDE keyboard tool and layout switcher¹. The fixes should make configuring keyboard layouts easier and should solve some long-standing issues with keyboard switching (e.g. Bugzilla issue #100). One of the improvements that I have been thinking to include but for which I need user feedback concerns TDEPersonalizer, the wizard that gets shown on the first run of the desktop, or later, at users' choice. The first step of this wizard lets you choose your country and system language. The idea is that based on this information, the keyboard layouts will be conveniently set up for you with a sane default, with minimal need for user feedback (who can later adjust this default manually). But the problem is that I am not sure what that default should be. If you consider, for example, cyrillic languages or greek, a good default, in my opinion, would be a combination of the standard latin layout (English) plus the layout of that language (so you have two layouts that you can switch between). If you take languages based on the latin alphabet though (e.g. Italian, French, Czech etc.) users might not actually need a latin layout, so they will be fine with just the layout of the keyboard layout of their own language. A good solution IMO would be adding a checkbox just below country and language selection that would let you enable/disable the English layout. This checkbox would not be shown if the language you selected is already English (US, UK or any variant). So, I am asking for your feedback, especially those of you who use non-English keyboard layouts: What do you think of this idea? Do you think the checkbox approach is good enough? What should be the default state of the checkbox, enable or disable English layout? Please take in mind beginner Trinity users too. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated! -- Philippe MAVRIDIS ¹ The relevant pull request is here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/304 You can take a look at the discussion that has already happened thereif you want. P.S. I've been having problems with GMail and the mailing list. This must be the fourth time I'm trying to send this e-mail. I'm resending this from the e-mail address that I have on ProtonMail.

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

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
