Konquerorsu fails to show directories on startup
by Nigel Henry 12 Mar '21

12 Mar '21

Xubuntu 16.04.7 with TDE R14.0.9 Problem: Konqueror in superuser mode opens with menu and location bar but no view,only a blank area where all the directories should be. Doh! See attached screenshot. From the start: I changed the bottom of the desktop file (hide) from true to false so that konqueror su would show on the menu. Clicked on the icon and password requester opened. entered password which it said was wrong, then saw it wanted root password. Next installed Tdesudo and tried it again. Password ok now and konqueror opened but devoid of any content. Next started it from Konsole with a bunch of errors on the output and the same visual result when konquerorsu opened. see attachment Konsole-output-no-view-on-16.04.7.txt The other attachment is from opening it from Konsole on my 12.04 install. It shows a few errors but konquerorsu works fine as it always has done on other installs including my old Fedora Core 3 with KDE 3.4.2-1.fc3.1.legacy Red Hat that I'm mailing from. Anybody with a solution to the problem? I don't know if you will get this as I've been unable to move my subscription from the old list to the new one. All the best, Nigel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Kpdf
by phiebie＠drei.at 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

This is my favourite PDF-viewer and as such I have in my mimeinfo.cache the entry "application/pdf=kpdf.desktop". Works perfect....until I update libreoffice-draw or google-chrome. At that moment the kpdf-entry gets erased and instead of it 'draw' or 'chrome' appears or even both. And I have to correct this entry manually again and again. Is there a possibility to add in the installscript of kpdf the same mechanism as in chrome and draw - a delete/replace statement? Regards, Peter.

Install not possible from Ubuntu Live CD's
by martin.bost＠netcologne.de 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

I followed the link to Ubuntu Live CD's with Trinity Desktop (http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/) where I found two versions of a Live CD: tde-14.0.8-ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Apr-27 23:16:49 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image and tde-14.0.9-ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Nov-06 04:36:35 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image I made USB install sticks for both of them and found the same error: both can be started without problems on different notebooks (Sony VAIO, Lenovo T520, Samsung NC10) and run smooth and error free from the stick. Whenever I try to do an installation - started the Live CD in the mode with possible install - on each of the nb's I always end up without a starting install process directly out of the start of the image but end up in a Trinity Desktop where I find links to install Ubuntu with Trinity. But when I use of the menu entries nothing happens and no message is shown. By fetching the install entry's command line out of the menu editor and calling it from a command line nothing is shown too. And when I => sudo -i and then => --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui' I only get the message "Could not find command-not-found database. Run 'sudo apt update' to populate it. --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: command not found" By running only the part "ubiquity gtk_ui" again I do not receive any message and an install is not started. The hole process of starting the image from the stick looks very similar as a normal install process for Ubuntu where the installation is directly started after choosing this option from the images start menu. When I do this with the Trinity images the install process is NOT started. Both versions do exactly the same. It would be very nice to get help on this because I figured out that the combination of Ubuntu 20.04 and Trinity 14.x even when started from a stick after boot run more but fast enough to be used as a very good alternative to Kubuntu even on old hardware like a Samsung Netbook NC10 from 2011 with 2 GB RAM and ARM450 CPU. So it would be nice to have the option to install from the Live CD's. Many thanks in advance !!!

Notes on 14.1.0
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hi all! I did a dist-upgrade yesterday on my devuan chimaera+tde14.1 machines. These are the things that I noticed: - TDE cannot mount CD/DVD any more, it gives an error "mount: /media/cdrom0: mount point does not exist.". I am not sure if that was already a problem on 14.0.x some time ago. however, I can mount CD/DVD from commandline. - Opening a media folder at it's actual mountpoint is gorgeous. Automouning with this feature is a great relieve, thank you! - I'd like to always open konqueror at the medias mountpount :) Is there an way to do this in 14.1 at the moment? Oh, and 14.1 is rock solid, haven't had a single issue on any machine I moved over. Great job! Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

14.1.0 : no preview image for video files
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Ok, this one is new to me: I lost the preview thumbnails for video files, but libarts1-xine-trinity is installed. When I open a folder with a videofile (mp4/mkv) I get this line in .xsession-errors : sh: 2: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string and the gear "T" just keeps spinneng forever. Any idea how I can get the thumbnails back? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

A look at the narrow version of the webpage
by E. Liddell 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

For your amusement (and to test whether I can actually *post* to the new mailing lists, since I got the confirm and welcome mails, but other messages have only been coming from the old list), I offer the following glimpses of what the tweaked website will look like on smaller devices: Really narrow screens (such as phones) will see this: https://i.postimg.cc/m2tsMdWb/tdepage-phone.png Note the vertical menu at the bottom, and the header has been resized so that the word "Development" doesn't overflow off the screen to the right. Screens between 520px and 800px wide (of which I don't expect to find many—some tablets held in portrait mode, maybe) will get this instead: https://i.postimg.cc/y6fKkM5Q/tdepage-medium.png Menu horizontal at the bottom, header larger but still not full-sized. At 800px, it reverts to the format we all know and . . . love? In any case, at 800px, the sidebar takes up a little more than 20% of the screen, which should be acceptable to most. The resizing trick doesn't work in Konqueror, unfortunately, since it doesn't support CSS @media queries at the necessary level, but I am going to be very surprised if anyone manages to get Konqueror onto a phone. The page does resize itself correctly on the three modern browsers I've tested. E. Liddell
