[14.1.4] traditional non-theme TDM theme in in Focal is not used
by Felix Miata 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

This is my third focal upgrade. The first two went OK, and also Jammy, Noble, and the Debians on same PC. What could be making this one different re TDM theming? .xsession-errors: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pVXNgHFRkP/ https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pVXNgHFRkP/plain/ (72k) # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS" # ls -gGh /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc* -rw-r--r-- 1 23K Feb 3 2022 /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc # grep -A4 -i etheme= /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc UseTheme=false # The theme to use for the greeter.

TDE R14.1.4 released, new target started…
by Slávek Banko 30 Apr '25

30 Apr '25

Hi all, after R14.1.4 was released, the window for the development of R14.1.5 has already been opened. The first pull-requests have already been merged, new translations are merged, the first builds of the packages will be started soon. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. The packages in both repositories are identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Publishing the first R14.1.5 preliminary packages I suppose on 11 May. You can stay up to date on TDE news and development by following our Mastodon channel https://floss.social/@tde If you can, please help supporting the project with a donation. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Thank you for your support! Cheers Slávek --

I can't find any news on trinitydesktop.org about 4:14.1.4 being release, but apt is trying to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4.

Downloading all TDE packages
by Darrell Anderson 27 Apr '25

27 Apr '25

A few days ago I installed Devuan Daedalus in a VM and downloaded the TDE 14.1.3 mega package 'tde-trinity'. I presumed that "mega" package downloaded everything TDE, but seems to be only individual packages split from the core package group. Missing from my effort are packages such as amarok, koffice, themes, etc. I tried 'apt search trinity' but that is a messy output. Next I tried 'apt-cache search trinity | grep -v 18n'. That produced a list of 786 packages. Clipping the output produces provided me only package names. I shrugged, inhaled, and launched 'for pkg in $(apt-cache search trinity | grep -v i18n | sed 's| - .*||'); do apt install -y $pkg; done'. Seemed to succeed but raised a simple question. Is there a short-hand method to download everything TDE?

Recognizing phone
by Darrell Anderson 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '25

I have a flip phone that is recognized immediately (lsusb) but does not appear anywhere in TDE that I can see. I receive popups or desktop icons in KDE and Xfce. I have enabled KControl->Desktop->Behavior->Device Icons->Show Device Icons. There are few devices in that list not enabled, but I do not see anything in Konqueror Storage Devices. My first presumption is something not configured correctly here or packages not compiled correctly. What is fully required to get TDE to recognize the phone? Thanks.

TDE full install (everything and the kitchen sink)
by Darrell Anderson 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

I finally created a Devuan VM. I installed KDE, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon. Everything is updated and seems to be working fine. I populated apt sources.list per the wiki and downloaded the TDE signing key. When I run the following command: apt install tde-trinity I receive the message: The following packages will be REMOVED: desktop-base gnome-control-center I did not install the GNOME desktop and don't care about gnome-control-center (probably a Cinnamon requirement). I do not know what removing desktop-base will do. Running "apt show desktop-base" reveals a description of "common files for the Devuan Desktop." Is auto removing desktop-base safe? I want to retain all of the other desktop environments to see how TDE interacts in a mixed environment. Second, I want to install every doggone TDE package possible. I never have experienced a full TDE and I want to see how everything functions. Running "apt search trinity" finds many packages. I don't know if "apt install tde-trinity" installs everything. My Debian Fu is horribly rusty and could use help proceeding. Thanks.
