KoolDock What is it good for?

by midi-pascal

KoolDock is a nice app docking application. As I don't want to have any icons on the screen background because they are hidden by other running program, I added the apps I use the most in it. I placed it at the top of my second screen and set the auto-hide feature on. So even while running a program in full screen I just have to "touch" the top of the screen with the mouse to make it appear and start an other program. Well, it is old (since KDE 1.4) but it is easy to use, slim, very reliable and has a nice look. I used it for years with TDE and thought it was a nice goody to give as a contribution. For more information: https://store.kde.org/p/1081070/ Enjoy it!

ubuntu 16.04 freshly installed does not start after sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity

by Uwe Brauer

Hi On a old machine (thinkpad X200s) I installed Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit) as in the machine (Thinkpad X1) I am using for writing this message. While I installed trinity on the X1 via deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb xenial deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb xenial deps-r14 main-r14 For the old X200s machine I chose deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x xenial main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x xenial main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x xenial main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x xenial main Be it as it may, everything was fine on the X200s till I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity To use tdm-trinity instead of lightdm Now when I try to reboot the machine never shows a login but is in the infinite loop. Any idea what I could do (other than reinstalling the whole beast) thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

long standing bug, dates clear back to kde 2ish time

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; Once every 3 or 4 moons, the kmail config gets changed despite. the 4 "sticky" buttons in the editors upper right corner being checked. I have reached a conclusion that somehow, my hunt-n-pecking ancient fingers have triggered a hot-key sequence that does this. Its been a problem since kde2 here. I don't know if thats the case, but where is the tde storage of this hot-key data for kmails composer? IMO, if the sticky bit is set, it should be locked, requiring the sticky bit to be intentionally turned off before one of those 4 options at the top of the composer screen can be changed. But that isn't the case, its been changed without a conscious action on my part, probably 70 or more times in the past 20 years. Probably by my fat fingering, but that should be disallowed by any method if the sticky bit it set. It is not protected despite the sticky bit being displayed as checked. Can this be looked at the next time you are "checking kmail's tire pressure"? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

TQt Tutorials

by J Leslie Turriff

I'm trying to get a handle on writing an app for Trinity, starting with stuff from the Wiki; but it's a struggle. I Followed Support => Wiki => Developers => Tutorials and Documentation for QT and TQT and hiding under the QT3 API Documentation link (which really points to TQt Reference Documentation (Open Source Edition) I found the Getting Started section. Following How To Learn TQt showed me C++ GUI Programming with TQt 3 (which I have ordered); many of the other links on this page point to a now-deceased TrollTech website. :-( I moved on to Tutorial #1, and after figuring out that references to "qmake" should really be to "tqmake", I tried compiling the fourteen example programs. They all fail with the same error. Example #1 is typical: | $ make | g++ -c -O2 -g -m64 -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -pipe -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wall -W -O2 -DQT_NO_DEBUG -I/usr/share/tqt3/mkspecs/default -I. -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/tqt3 -o main.o main.cpp | g++ -luuid -o hello main.o -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -luuid -ltqt -lXext -lX11 -lm | /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: main.o: undefined reference to symbol '_ZN13TQApplication13setMainWidgetEP8TQWidget' | /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libtqt-mt.so.3: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line | collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status | make: *** [Makefile:88: hello] Error 1 in which the loader seems to be complaining about setMainWidget, a method of TQApplication. It seems to be expecting to find it in | /usr/lib64/libtqt-mt.so.3 and I see on the web that adding | -ltqt-mt will fix the problem, and several web responses say to use | ./configure LIBS=-ltqt-mt but how would I do that with tqmake?

But if I press the Help button while in kmail's Settings window, it tells me there's no kmail manual. Leslie --

Need help with old kmail address suggestions

by J Leslie Turriff

When I type "trinity-users" into the To field of a new email, kmail suggests | trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net though I have none of the email addresses for the trinity mailing lists stored in my address book. If I type "TDE" it suggests | "Michele Calgaro via tde-users" <users(a)trinitydesktop.org> Where is kmail storing these and how can I get rid of them? Leslie

Apt sources generated for Devuan distribution names

by Slávek Banko

Hi all Devuan fans, because we love both Debian and Devuan, we've brought you one little news about PSB and PTB repositories. Recently, we started generating separate apt information for the names of Devuan distributions. This means that for Devuan you can now start using Devuan distribution names in the apt sources lists. It remains valid that the binary packages are identical for both Debian and Devuan distributions, and that it is possible for Devuan to use the names corresponding to the Debian distribution. Our principle that systemd must not be a forced dependency is still firmly held. Note: For official stable repository, we will start generating apt sources for the Devuan distributions names starting with the release of R14.0.9. Cheers -- Slávek

"TDE launcher could not be reached via DCOP"

by D. R. Evans

Every few weeks/months I suddenly start to receive the message in the subject line when trying to start programs from the quicklauncher, the TDE main menu or the "Open with..." menu item. Usually, logging out and back in "solves" the problem. Today it did not, and I had to reboot. Is there some less catastrophic way to get things working again when I start to see this message? Doc PS I suspect that some process dies and for some reason TDE doesn't have a watchdog on it to force it to restart (if that guess is correct, it sounds like two bugs to me: one that the process can crash, one that TDE doesn't notice and do something about it). -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

devuan+TDE dor OrangePi PC plus

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! If anybody has a OrangePi PC Plus, I've created an image with TDE and would like some feedback: https://github.com/zwieblum/devuan-images The RT-kernel does not work 100% on this platform, so there's only an image for OrangePi Zero with LinuxCNC. Those H2+/H3 processors come with a coprocessor just like the BBB, so the realtime signalgerator can be removed from the kernel task and gives way better results than softstepper on ARM (e.g. RPi) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
