apt-get error
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Sep '23

07 Sep '23

Hello all, This does not create a real problem, so my question is mainly to try understanding: - I use MX-Linux - I install TDE from PSB, with following lines in a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tde.list file deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb/ bullseye deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb/ bullseye deps-r14 main-r14 Install and updates are OK, but I allways notice this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/cnf-update-db", line 26, in <module> col.create(db) File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 96, in create self._fill_commands(con) File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 144, in _fill_commands self._parse_single_contents_file(con, f, fp.stdout) File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 283, in _parse_single_contents_file priority = component_priorities[component] KeyError: 'deps-r14' Reading package lists... Done Seems to me to indicate that some MX-stuff (creator.py?) is not happy with deps-r14, and as long as everything runs well I can live with it, but as I don't really understand what this error means, I don't know if I should worry...

That didn't apply to Evolution, but that utility helped me with lots of other apps, such as KeePassXC or qBitTorrent. I have font smoothing disabled, so the default font for Qt apps looked so bad I avoided them. Besides, the font size was too big for my liking (and the colours and decorations didn't match, of course), and I didn't know how to personalize them without this. Thank you again! Carlos

how to correct this error? re libkgtk2.so
by William Morder 07 Sep '23

07 Sep '23

In the past couple weeks I upgraded my machine from Devuan Chimaera to Daedalus, and it has been more of a headache than any previous upgrades. I wonder if anybody else has had similar experiences. But that is another story ... Most of the issues I have managed to iron out. Things now work almost the same as before, or better; but then again, not quite. In any case, I can manage, but I do wish for less change in my life, or that those changes could be more predictable. Now I am getting this error when I use any kind of shell or terminal. All I need to do is to enter anything at all, and hit return, and I get this error message: ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/trinity/lib/kgtk/libkgtk2.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored. Mind you, everything still seems to work right enough, but this is not normal, and I would like it to go away. Any help will be appreciated. Bill

Change GTK apps' icons in TDE
by Carlos AD 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hi, As Kmail isn't a viable option for use with corporate Office 365 e-mail (it doesn't support OAuth), I've installed Evolution with it's Exchange Web Access package. However, the icons in it are from the Adawita theme, and I don't seem to be able to change them using Trinity. From MATE, if I change the Icon theme using the built-in tool it also changes the icons on Evolution, but that's not the case in Trinity. I had managed to change the font and the decorations editing the $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, but not the icons. I've installed the gtk-qt-engine-trinity package and tried to change the settings from Trinity's Control Center, but that has only edited my settings.ini file and caused Evolution to not run at all, with this terminal output (evolution:2551): Gtk-ERROR **: 20:27:32.588: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported Firefox also doesn't work now, with the same terminal output. I think I'm missing something here, because it wouldn't make sense that I'd be able to change the decorations and font, but not the icons. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you, Carlos

Re: Task switching (ALT + TAB) doesn't work in R14.1.0

I've been looking though the control center and it looks as if you have disabled the "Show window list while switching windows" option, which is under Desktop, in Window behaviour (or maybe something similar, my computer is not in English). Disabling it seems to make the desktop behave just as you described (switching windows immediatly), so I'd try enabling that option. Carlos

Task switching (ALT + TAB) doesn't work in R14.1.0
by Ilya Dogolazky 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hello! When I press ALT+TAB nothing happens and I can't find any appropriate entry for switching the tasks in keyboard shortcuts (was it ever there? I don't know because ALT+TAB worked just fine without any setting editing). I found something called "Walk Through Windows" -- but it's not the same thing (it switches windows immediately, while the old good ALT+TAB opened the list of windows and switched only after releasing of the ALT key) Any ideas? Cheers, Ilya D.

cups/tde?
by dep 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

greets, everybody. for some reason unknown to me, i can no longer print from tde apps. running localhost:631 brings up the cups admin page and i can print a test page just fine. i can print from libreoffice and mozilla. but if i try to print from, say, kpdf, an "initializing printing system" box pops up, then an error saying cups isn't installed or is misconfigured. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kaffeine Audio Visualization is broken?
by J Leslie Turriff 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

Does anyone else here use Kaffeine? Since upgrading to R14.1.0, for me the Audio Visualization modules seem to be missing; the default module, goom, does nothing, and if I attempt to switch to another, Kaffeine crashes. Kaffeine player is at level 0.8.8. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

Renaming Konsole session tabs programmatically - SOLVED
by J Leslie Turriff 01 Sep '23

01 Sep '23

I've fiddled with this for quite a while, and I finally have gotten it to work! I wanted the names on the Konsole session tabs to match the last node of the working directory; that makes it much easier to pick the right tab. The change is triggered by bash routine kcd (konsole cd) and the code that actually changes the tab name is changeKonsoleSessionName. I've attached the pieces of code that do the job. (changeKonsoleSessionName is written in Rexx. Sorry, but the string manipulation tools in bash are just awful; but the code is probably clear enough, and could be rewritten by an enterprising person. :-) I was thinking of adding something to change the text colour of the tab, but there doesn't seem to be a DCOP method for doing that. :-( Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0
