Ksnapshot file names
by D. R. Evans 11 Nov '26

11 Nov '26

How do I stop ksnapshot from defaulting to filenames that are based on the last-saved file, but -- annoyingly -- with a digit changed? (Every time, I have to manually change the first number that appears in the filename back to what it should be.) Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Nov '26

04 Nov '26

Hi all! I just uploaded the latest relase of "darkness" :) It comes with my new application "tcam" - a native TDE camera application that allows you to change camera settings, resolution, fps, brightness ... and you can add an overlay image, crop the image and feed the video back into a v4l2loopback device that can be used as video source for e.g. meet.jit.si (background removal like obs-backgroundremoval comes in the next version, as does face tracking, filters etc.) Full release notes: Whats in it: - TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT - tcam - new TDE camera application with v4l2loopback support - Xlibre 25.2.2 - new background images - kernel 7.2.15 - all specific tweaks are packaged in darkness-tweaks - rpi crossinstaller - i386 iso with kernel 7.2.15 for those who love old hardware Notes: - Persistent partition at 3GB when booting the ISO from a USB stick: As long as any future ISO written to the stick is smaller than 3GB the data on the partition is unaffected. - Virtualbox/VMware guest graphics: "modesetting" is used for "VirtualBox GPU". - Laguage: TDE language packs of unused languages are removed when booting from iso, so that translations of missing texts come from english and not from any other language pack - deactivate 3D acceleration on Lenovo X61 / Intel GM965/GL960 - dark theme for OpenSCAD - i386 iso comes without EFI support Download: amd64: - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-20261104.iso - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-20261104.iso.sha256 i386: - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-i386-20261104.iso - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-i386-20261104.iso.sha256 Please feel free to download and try .. and post your experience :) Project homepage: https://www.klepp.cn/darkness/iso/readme.html Announcement thread: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=66393#p66393 -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

TDE R14.1.7 release postponed by a week
by Michele Calgaro 25 Oct '26

25 Oct '26

Hi, we are sorry to announce that the release of TDE R14.1.7 has been postponed by a week and will happen on Nov 1 instead of today. Building all the packages for the various distributions is taking longer than we initially anticipated and rather than announcing a partially built release, we prefer to wait an extra week. The development of R14.1.8 is unaffected by the delay, since the team is already working on it. Cheers Michele

KPDF Signal 11
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Oct '26

08 Oct '26

Hello, I've got a PDF (boarding passes) that causes KPDF to crash (SIGSEV signal 11). Other PDFs print fine, that particular one can be printed from qpdfview, or will print correctly from KPDF only after having been printed to pdf from master pdf editor. I've got the gdb crash report, it is quite long and I am not sure if there would be something to bebug and where I could (should) post it. Here is the start that seems to relate to TDe libraries: [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". ==== (gdb) bt ==== [TDECrash handler] #6 0x00007f488b5ad785 in FoFiType1C::convertToType0(char*, void (*)(void*, char*, int), void*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #7 0x00007f488b542ee5 in PSOutputDev::setupEmbeddedCIDType0Font(GfxFont*, Ref*, GString*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #8 0x00007f488b54d523 in PSOutputDev::setupFont(GfxFont*, Dict*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #9 0x00007f488b54d8c8 in PSOutputDev::setupFonts(Dict*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #10 0x00007f488b54d9bf in PSOutputDev::setupResources(Dict*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #11 0x00007f488b54dddb in PSOutputDev::writeDocSetup(Catalog*, int, int) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #12 0x00007f488b54f1d3 in PSOutputDev::init(void (*)(void*, char*, int), void*, PSFileType, XRef*, Catalog*, int, int, PSOutMode, int, int, int, int, int) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #13 0x00007f488b54f4a8 in PSOutputDev::PSOutputDev(char*, XRef*, Catalog*, int, int, PSOutMode, int, int, int, int, int, int) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #14 0x00007f488b50c2f5 in PDFGenerator::print(KPrinter&) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #15 0x00007f488b4cf160 in KPDF::Part::doPrint(KPrinter&) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #16 0x00007f488b4d1b31 in KPDF::Part::slotPrint() () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #17 0x00007f488b4d1be8 in KPDF::Part::tqt_invoke(int, TQUObject*) () from /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/libkpdfpart.so #18 0x00007f48916cebeb in TQObject::activate_signal(TQConnectionList*, TQUObject*) () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtqt-mt.so.3 #19 0x00007f4891970781 in TQSignal::signal(TQVariant const&) () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtqt-mt.so.3 #20 0x00007f48916e2a30 in TQSignal::activate() () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtqt-mt.so.3 #21 0x00007f48916ed790 in ??

upgrade was bumpy - a few leftover problems
by William Morder 05 Oct '26

05 Oct '26

Hello everybody! This is rather off-topic, as it doesn't directly concern TDE, so far as I can tell. However, it does concern using my Trinity colors and preferences. Does anybody have a clue what's going on? After reading about Leslie's recent upgrade, I decided that I myself had been putting off a similar upgrade. I run Devuan, so I upgraded from Daedalus to Excalibur. It was actually relatively painless, compared to doing a complete reinstallation from scratch. I dreaded rebooting, fearing that I might end up with a non-working machine, but everything looks and works practically the same as before. However ... there are yet a few glitches that I can't figure out. I am wondering if others have had issues something like these. 1. audacious won't start up. I did look up all the documentation and discussions on the forums, but they are mostly old (going back to 2007, etc.). For what it's worth, I have my audacious configured to start up after boot, which has worked seamlessly for about ten years now. I haven't changed much since then. I tried renaming these folders, tried renaming the config file, etc., but nothing helps. /home/~/.config/audacious /home/~/.local/audacious Usually, after I do this, then restart audacious, it creates new folders, and new config files. Then I just overwrite these with my own, and after that, everything is fine. This time, however, audacious won't start up at all, although it does appear as a process, briefly, in top, then disappears; and in htop it appears as a process, but does nothing, and I can only kill the process with some effort. I tried installing the plugins, codecs, etc., but thus far can't imagine what the problem may be. 2. I also have problems with qmmp. It starts up and plays just fine, but some of its behavior has changed. It's a minor annoyance, but I would like it to play the way that I had it set. Now I must do a lot more clicking to make playlist and equalizer appear or disappear; before, I would just flip from one view to another, and they disappeared or appears automatically. Before anybody makes the suggestion, I do not want to use qmmp for both online radio and for playing my local files. I have tried this before, and I prefer to stick with my own methods here, if possible, which have worked for twenty years or more. I did try out practically every other media player that might work as a substitute, but they are all inadequate in some way. Mostly, I want them to have equalization and that kind of thing, and to use Winamp skins. 3. VLC suddenly will not accept my system colors (i.e., TDE colors), but instead uses some kind of default. At least it's legible, and still plays about the same as before. But I imagine it's related to this same issue. 4. Likewise, smplayer plays the same, but now it starts up with a plain white interface, whereas before it used some kind of Gnomish-looking color scheme. In all of these cases -- and there may be others, but I haven't searched through my whole system -- one common factor is that I end up with a totally white interface (with black fonts) for menus and such. To be clear, I use my color scheme to save my eyesight, which has been giving me problems more and more with age. A white background is like torture, and within five or ten minutes, my eyes get watery, and I can't see. I've been using dark color schemes ever since the year 2000 or so, and I would like to keep it that way. At present, I really want to get audacious working again, as I usually have either qmmp playing online radio, or audacious playing music from my files. The rest, I can live with, and sort out it time. Sorry for the length. As I said, these problems all seem to be, in some way, the same underlying problem. Thanks for any help. Bill

What's the best way to upgrade from Bookworm to whatever is current?
by J Leslie Turriff 24 Sep '26

I think I'm probably more than one release back from current; do I upgrade one release at a time, or can I go direct? and what is the current release? Leslie

Bug with Konqueror in 4k
by Luciano ES 24 Sep '26

24 Sep '26

Hi! I've been using Trinity for a little while and I ran into this bug in Konqueror. Are you aware of it? https://limewire.com/d/s6LpF#lNVi3J74PG It only happens in the 4k resolution. I also tested 1920x1080 and 2560×1440. It seems the problem only happens in 4k. Thanks in advance, -- Luciano ES >>
