by Uwe Brauer 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

hi I am a long term trinity user, and had to switch from ubuntu 16.04 to 24.04 I am using a Thinkpad X1 (2017) uname -a returns uname -a Linux Utnapischtim 6.8.0-38-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jun 7 15:25:01 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux following https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… I added # Ubuntu sources have moved to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x noble main deps # Optional sources deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x noble main deps then I run sudo apt-get update and received : Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x noble InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'deps/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x noble InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' so, does this mean, my X1 is not longer supported, or what do I miss? regards Uwe Brauer Sent from my iPhone

How to turn off tdegtk?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Somehow I've mangled the tdegtk configuration in my main user account (I think I was trying to get rid of the warnings; see below). Now it's preventing my favourite text editor from running. I tried to remove ~/.themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0/tdegtk.css (attached; fails at line 299) but it just comes back when I re-login. How can I disable it? I'm thinking now that turning it on in the first place was a mistake. | $ /usr/local/bin/jedit -log=7 -restore -startupscripts -gui -newview -settings=/home/leslie/.config/jedit -server=Leslie -- c++/demo.cc& | wd=/usr/local/src/packages/SOURCES/ncurses6.5-20240629 | $ | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.621: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4:7: The 'engine' property is ignored | | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.679: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:10: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated.

How to configure Sysguard app in panel?
by Mike Bird 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

It's probably ten years or more since I configured the Sysguard app in one of my panels. Today I wanted to change the config. I found I could remove a display but I could only add blank displays which I could find no way to configure. It took me three hours but eventually I succeeded by restoring my ~/.trinity/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml from backup and then manually editing it WHILE TRINITY WAS NOT RUNNING. Is there a better way to configure the Sysguard app in a panel? --Mike

How dead is Trinity and is it worth contributing to?
by Riley Bell 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

I love TDE and want to contribute to it but is it worth it? I've been in the devels mailing list for a couple weeks now and there haven't been any new messages. There are many applications I can't find in TGW like kmilo. The Project RoadMap on the wiki has a warning of being outdated. Is there a reason certain repositories haven't had a non-translation related commit in years? It seems improvements outside the scope of bug fixes and the migration to CMake are stalled indefinitely due to issues with adding support for Qt4? Why not drop it and try for Qt5/6 instead? Can the migration to Webkit for HTML rendering be done without Qt4 support? How hard would it be to make a style plugin for Qt5/6? I currently use gtk-qt-engine-trinity with qt5-gtk2-platformtheme as a workaround but it would be nice to have reliable, native support. I don't exactly understand how TQT or the TQT Interface works so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. ------------------------------------------------- This free account was provided by VFEmail.net - report spam to abuse(a)vfemail.net ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!

crash reports
by Wossog 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Hello, I use Trinity with Linux Artix and am actually happy with it. But there are a few small things that bother me, like the constant crash reports regarding Konqueror. I know this from earlier (KDE 3), but not from any current distribution. Since I can't do anything about it anyway, can I stop this pop-up window? Thanks, Michael
