XF86Mail opens the email client if and only if it is mapped to an "Input Action"
by Davide Baldini 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

If a keyboard shortcut is defined for an "Input Action" (Trinity Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions) and the triggering key is XF86Mail, then pressing the XF86Mail button opens the email client regardless of what action is assigned to it. If the action is deleted or assigned to a different shortcut, the mail program does not open when pressing XF86Mail. This started happening a few days ago after an apt-get upgrade on Debian. # dpkg -s tde-trinity Version: 4:14.1.3-0debian12.0.0+0 -- Davide

Install failing on AlmaLinux 9.4
by Ross Merrifield 14 Nov '24

Trinity mailing list, I am trying to install Trinity Desktop on a laptop running AlmaLinux 9.4. I installed to trinity-repo package, but I am getting an error message when I try to actually install Trinity. Here is the error that DNF returns: [ross@fuji ~]$ sudo dnf install trinity-desktop Last metadata expiration check: 1:07:51 ago on Thu 14 Nov 2024 08:58:00 AM PST. Error: Problem: package trinity-desktop-14.1.3-1.el9.noarch from trinity-r14-noarch requires trinity-tdeaddons >= 14.1.3, but none of the providers can be installed - package trinity-tdeaddons-14.1.3-1.el9.x86_64 from trinity-r14 requires trinity-noatun-plugins = 14.1.3-1.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides libdb_cxx-5.3.so()(64bit) needed by trinity-noatun-plugins-14.1.3-1.el9.x86_64 from trinity-r14 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Some details about my system: [ross@fuji ~]$ uname -a Linux fuji 5.14.0-427.42.1.el9_4.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Nov 1 14:58:02 EDT 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [ross@fuji ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i trinity trinity-repo-14.1.3-1.el9.noarch I've never had any issues installing the trinity-desktop package before, but I usually run on Fedora not Alma. Anyone have any tips for getting Trinity installed on Alma (or any other Red Hat clone)? Thanks, Ross

compton-tde does not draw shadows?
by Andrew Randrianasulu 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hello, TDE users! I was more or less following TDE by compiling new version using https://github.com/ray-v/tde-slackbuilds/ on Slackware 15.0 i586 with 6.1.44 x64 self-compiled kernel and X11 installed into X11R7 I think it works generally OK but today I tried to add shadows using compton-tde and while I can make moving windows slightly transparent (so compositing itself works) I can't make shadows show up. I tried to put compton.conf I found on github into .config/compton-tde.conf but it apparently does not make a difference? Where default compton-tde.conf usually located? Second question - on xrandr resize (for example switching away from fullscreen mode in old SDL1 version of qemu) TDE likes to maximize by horizontal dimension all my windows! Probably something is misconfigured, but what exactly? Any ideas where to look? I prefer not to nuke my .kde ... (there was KDE3 previously)

how to set environment variable?
by D. R. Evans 10 Nov '24

10 Nov '24

I'm sure this is easy, but I haven't been able to find the right place to do it :-( How do I set the value of an environment variable so that when I run a program from the main T menu, the program will automatically get the correct value of the variable? I looked at Trinity Control Centre (which is where I expected to find something labelled "Environment Variables", or something similar) but I don't see anything like that there.

Here's another instance of a distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed) that's having trouble with DBus startup.

DBus Issues
by Daniel Wilkins 06 Nov '24

06 Nov '24

Hi y'all, I'm running 14.1.2 (with some 14.1.3, some of the slackbuilds are broken,) on Slackware 15 and I've noticed an issue with flatpak apps. They were unable to access the keystore for me and after some debugging I found that in TDE the environment variables for dbus (DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and PID) aren't set, where in environments which have working flatpak apps they are. Sure enough, dbus-launch [flatpak app] lets them launch successfully. I've found a couple of other weird bits which I think may be dbus related too. I've tried adding an "eval $(dbus-launch)" to my ~/.xprofile per what happens in starttde, I also tried adding it manually into the starttde script right around where tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol is invoked but I don't have the vars set in my actual session in either case. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks, Danny

openSUSE Leap 16.0
by Gianluca Interlandi 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Dear TDE users, This may be off topic. It looks like the successor to Leap 15.6 will be Leap 16.0: https://get.opensuse.org/leap/16.0/ and it will be based on the Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP): https://en.opensuse.org/Features_16.0 The website states that Leap 16.0 will have a non-immutable version, although ALP does contain a "minimal, immutable operating system". I just wonder whether ALP will still be based on RPM. It may be too early to worry about it as Leap 16.0 will not be available until at least fall 2025.

TDM not starting on Debian
by paperella＠duck.com 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hey there, just completed a fresh installation of Debian via netinstall with no other DE and added Trinity following the instructions on the wiki. Everything works - thank you for your efforts! - but I can't seem to start TDM. I have the package tdm-trinity installed, and using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity, I can select it. Just to double check, the outcome of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager is /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, so it's definitely there. Yet, when I power on the laptop, I am greeted by no DM at all. I have installed lightdm to see if that would give problems as well, but it works just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem with TDM could be. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you folks! :D
