greets, folks. i should start by saying that i have no opinion on how the
TDE entity should be financed or governed, though as a general rule
international nonprofits do better when based in switzerland.
now, why i'm here: i've hit a couple of configuration issues. first, how do
i make the desktop pager go away, forever, appearing nowhere. i use one
desktop, and don't have room to spare on kicker.
second, how do i make the trashcan and icon go away. on my desktop machine
i somehow found a way to put it as a hidden directory in my home
directory, which is fine. but i do not want it appearing on my desktop.
didn't like it in windows 3.0 and still don't.
third, the awful phenomenon of the keyring login popping up and demanding a
password whenever i lon in to the net has returned. i don't remember how
it got killed last time.
anyone know how to do these things?
thanks.

When creating a bug report or enhancement request, the template says,
| <!--
| Use SL/* labels to set the severity level.
|
| Please do not set a milestone.
| -->
and apparently the levels are supposed to appear in the box to the right, but for the
tickets I've opened, there are no levels listed there. The wiki says, "Optionally, you
can assign one or more labels (6) to the report, for better categorization."
Is the above comment (Use SL/*...) included in the template by mistake, or are the level
descriptions omitted by mistake? What does one replace the * with to choose a level?

Platform: Linux
Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)
Desktop Environment: Trinity
Qt: 3.5.0
TDE: R14.0.13
tde-config: 1.0
I seem unable to configure mouse pointer acceleration. The mouse pointer
moves way too fast, beyond usability. Acceleration is set to 1.0 in TCC.
Sometimes I can change that setting, reset to 1.0, and the mouse pointer
behaves but often not.
Pretty much renders the desktop unusable.
Ideas?

Starting a new thread to list the costs and special restrictions of
non-profits by location.
Note: If the dev’s already have a set in stone plan, then this thread is
pointless, but, otherwise, it’ll be a good source of information for the
final decision.
I’ll start with what I remember from the last go-around about the USA and
Canada (links are in the old thread). I’m using the term ‘Federal’ for
national level government and approximations in USDs. Let’s try to keep this
just a list of facts and relevant notes. Do include links to sources if you
have them.

Hi, everybody!
The notebook Debianization project proceeds apace. Between the parsimonious default packages in Debian -- "locate" is not installed by default, nor "sudo" -- and my personal dislike of TDE defaults, it's finicky.
Having installed tdetrinity-base rather than the everything including the tea-timer version, I went a little hog-wild in Synaptic and installed what seems to be too much gtk support, for both 2 and 3, which caused firefox to blow up saying it can't do both. So I went back to synaptic and removed Trinity-related gtk stuff. Now, when I open, say, konsole, I get this, twice:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/trinity/lib/kgtk/libkgtk2.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
It seems to do harm, but I'd just as soon install whatever is needed to make the error go away. Anybody know which package I need?
Thanks in advance.

With all the talk, I turned up a VM and did an install of Debian 12
(Bookworm) and TDE, and it went perfectly.
Install Debian without GUI interface
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include contrib non-free and
non-free-firmware as earlier noted
Add Trinity-testing repository as per instructions
Pull down and apt-key add trinity keyring
The TDE-Trinity package selected everything, including sudo, gnupg,
xwindows, etc, I didn't have to select anything else by hand.
Thanks to the team!

Thanks, Mike.
Here's something cool. So to speak. Everybody goes on about backlit keyboards, but this 15-year-old Thinkpad has been chugging along so faithfully that it has a *heated* keyboard!

This started a month or so ago, presumably as a result of an update.
When certain programs open, most frequently Konqueror and Kicker, I get
popup warnings, "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream". Kicker
does 7 of those all at once before it finishes starting, Konqueror only one.
While using Konqueror, another pops up frequently, and sometimes goes away
on its own in a few seconds if I don't click it away. It's gotta be
something simple, but I haven't had time to debug it. How do I fix this?
Machine is MX Linux w/ TDE 14.0.13.

greets again . . .
my laptop test case for debian continues. my goal today is to make my
TDE -- menus, apps, panel, desktop, etc. -- as close as i can to my
desktop machine. i could do this by hand, which would take a day or two,
or perhaps by copying my configuration from the desktop to the notebook
via something like a usb drive.
what i do not know is what configurations to copy. the whole .config
directory seems a little drastic, and i do not know that it would do the
job. would .trinity do it?
i should already know all this, but it's been a lot of years (and at least
one covid brain repartitioning), and i'd rather ask than break things and
ask afterwards.
thanks in advance.
