Re-maping the "Windows" key
by Thierry de Coulon 10 May '26

10 May '26

Hello all, I've got one of these nice Lenovo Thinkpad Keyboards (the old USB, wired type). Unfortunately, the one I got has the US layout but I use the Swiss layout. This mostly is solved with stickers, however many european languages use a layout with one more key (which is used for <, > and \). So this key is missing (physically). Now there is that useless "Windows" key looking at me. Can I modify TDE's Swiss Keyboard Layout to re-map that key to <>\ ? Thierry

Lost TDE programs
by Jonesy 05 May '26

05 May '26

Yikes!! I finally got past the Ubuntu DDoS and successfully updated my 24.04 machine last night -- together with updating Trinity to the new release. In that process I received the "...installed but no long needed" display containing A LARGE number of programs. I hand-checked several and it appeared that the new Trinity release was renaming trinity-<programs> to <programs>. So, nevously, I ran the "sudo apt autoremove' -- which, indeed, remove A LARGE number of programs. The system seemed ok after the update and I shut it down for the night. This morning I powered it up and soon found that `kwrite` did not exist. I checked `kate`, and it, too, was gone. Probably A LARGE number of other Trinity programs/utilities are gone, too. If I try to run "sudo apt-get install kwrite", the process wants to install a monstrous list of KDE stuff! -- which I did not do. I need advice on how to proceed and correct this.
