Re: Is there a quick hack for this?
by dep 20 Jun '21

20 Jun '21

To put it another way. If I right click on an image in Gwenview I get a menu. That menu includes "External tools." There is an item there, "Configure External Tools." It lets you call any program you have on your computer. I can configure it to call Word 5.5 running in a DOS emulator! And, if there were a way to call the metadata editor from there, job done. Ah, but . . . I have no idea what Gwenview is doing, up there deep in the bowels of the Plugins menu, to cause the metadata editor, a/k/a /opt/trinity/share/services/kipiplugin_metadataedit.desktop , to appear. Byut there is surely something that Gwenview does to call it, and if I knew what that was I could use it as the command argument to call the thing from the menu generated by the RMB on the image I intend to improve. So: Does anyone know what Gwenview does to get kipiplugin_metadataedit to run? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

Trinity on openSUSE Leap 15.2
by Gianluca Interlandi 19 Jun '21

19 Jun '21

Hi! I am planning to install the Trinity desktop on openSUSE Leap 15.2. I have the following questions: 1) On the Instructions website it says: "2. Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository". I am curious why that is. Do the Trinity packages depend on packages in the PACKMAN repositories or is it so that the most up to date multimedia packages are installed? 2) Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the Trinity desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but would it be in principle possible to download the RPM: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86… le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor? 3) What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in KDE3, but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories. Thank you very much in advance for helping me with these questions!

Is there any saving of KMenu?
by dep 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Greets, folks . . . I just now spent five minutes looking in vain for PDF Arranger in my kmenu. I have no doubt it's there, but in the decades of KDE3x and TDE I've yet to have the kmenu search box work even once; meanwhile, items in the submenus are spashed across them with no sense nor reason I can find -- Settings, System, and Utilities are in many respects one submenu distributed at random across three. Install a new application? Where is it in the kmenu? It's not a menu, it's a *game*! (Example: I have the Gramps genealogy application installed. It's even on the kmenu. Wanna know where it got stuck? Office > Database.) This doesn't matter if you have just a few applications installed. More than that and you're screwed. The problem is exacerbated by new applications being installed any old place within a submenu. Might be at the top. Might be at the bottom. Might be in the middle. (And of course the classic favorite, in some other sub- or sub-submenu entirely.) To make the game even more challenging, there's no practical way to bring order to it. There's no way to arrange the applications in alphabetical order within a submenu. And for advanced players, kmenu is festooned with some script that without user intervention prevents the desktop from starting at all! Surely there's got to be a way to automagically (or let users) organize the kmenu in TDE. Because as it stands, and has stood for decades, it's an unholy mess. Is there a recipe or script or, well, anything? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

Does opening /opt/trinity/bin in konqueror get you where you want to be? You can add a non-TDE button to a panel (see attached) and click on it to bring up the "menu". --Mike

Installing TDE R14.0.10 on FreeBSD 13?
by Hunter 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I was advised to come here since I'm aware that there are at least a few that use TDE on FreeBSD. I have the port from the gitea repository but I've had a number of issues. I'm still fairly new to FreeBSD so sorry if I seem inexperienced. I am especially new to using ports since I only have one or two on my system. Let me try to elaborate what I've done so far: I first attempted installing TDE in the beginning of May, which is when I first switched from Devuan to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. This was right after the R14.0.10 release. I had the freebsd TDE folder and assumed I needed to build it with make install clean, as most ports are, and I (from what I remember) think it worked until I hit a snag. I stopped there and settled with Xfce which I was already using for the time being and completely forgot what the snag was. I then tried it again yesterday, as I missed using TDE very much (as its most certainly my favorite desktop environment, which is why I'm subbed to these lists now =D ). I removed my desktop environment and login manager (Xfce + LightDM), and cloned the tde-packaging freebsd port once again. I had to run /make install clean///as root (I used doas, probably also did this the first attempt and just forgot), and everything was good and well until about 30 minutes into the make process when I received an error about pinentry-tqt. You can see my issue here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde-packaging/issues/86. At this point, I was in a conversation on Matrix and a TDE user on Slackware was trying to help me out the best he could. I had been trying to fix it all day and by the end of it had a massive headache so I quit and installed Fluxbox temporarily (needed a way to communicate easier as well). I had tampered with the make directory quite a bit without backing it up so now I cloned it again and am making sure to keep an unmodified copy (so I don't have to go through the process of getting it all again with my horrible internet..) So this morning I'm back at square one, which is why I'm here to ask how did any of you install it on FreeBSD? Did you run into the same issues, and is there any idea how I can go about getting it to work? I feel like I'm probably doing something wrong. -- - Hunter aka hunter0one

Manually enter the folder of the package you like to buld, "make install clean", move to the next. Don't use the "big" Makefiles: /usr/ports/x11/trinity/Makefile .../applications/Makefile .../core/Makefile .../dependencies/Makefile .../libraries/Makefile - just use them to determine the order in wich the packages need to be built. These are the packages I built.
