Hello, I've been trying to set different slideshow wallpapers with
hue shift blending on my virtual desktops (I currently have 4). But,
for some reason, when switching to the first virtual desktop, I notice
a bit of lag before Trinity switches to it. I don't know how are
wallpapers managed internally on Trinity but that seems like it's
trying to reload the wallpaper again or something?
By the way, I'm new to the this mailing list, actually I've never
written to one before, if I've missed any kind of netiquette or
something like that please let me know. Cheers.
Hi, everybody . . .
The time has come to say goodbye to Ubuntu once and for all. The spyware,
security updates being held hostage, and inescapable attachment to the
proprietary snap packages were bad enough. The new version of ProtonVPN
doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.04, the last marginally acceptable version. So
Debian looms.
I'm trying to make it easier by replacing the mess of hard drives with a
single 16-tb Toshiba enterprise drive. The plan is to install Debian on
it, then copy /home, etc., to it. The old drives will then be backups. (I
also have a 10-tb drive devitoted to pictures; that drive, too, will go
into the backup safe.)
The last time I did anything like this, a few years ago, it involved a
peculiar recipe that, fortunately, doesn't apply now. And I realize that
I've never done a straight install of a big drive to an EFI system.
So.
First, I'm trying to remember how to do a fill low-level check of the
drive, to knock out any bad sectors, etc. I don't think GParted does it.
Second, I'm trying to figure out how to best partition the thing, to get it
to boot properly. I know there needs to be a dinky FAT32 partition
someplace. What I don't know is where it should be and what size it should
be. After that I'll have a non-home partition and a /home partition, as
well as /swap. Is there any new thought as to the ideal size of the swap
partition? Machine has 32 gigs of memory, and I do not keep a huge number
of applications open at once, but I will have a lot of drive space. Any
settled preference as to the location of the swap partition?
(I remember that in OS/2 the rule was the most-used partition of the
least-used drive. Speaking of which, there's a small walk down OS/2 memory
lane here: https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1240.html )
It would be pretty straightforward but for the wad of stuff up top re. EFI,
big drive, etc., with which I have next-to-no experience. Advice?

I'm back again -- both with a new list subscription and my
ongoing Trinity install attempt.
Ive added the PPAs for my Ubuntu 24.04 and did the agt-get install
without seeing any errors. I did the dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
with the following output:
jonesy@nix6:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
Upstart is not active - masking initctl
Adding 'local diversion of /sbin/initctl to /sbin/initctl.distrib'
Removing 'local diversion of /sbin/initctl to /sbin/initctl.distrib'
jonesy@nix6:~$
.. which means nothing to me. ???
Anyway, when I reboot, I am presented with a login screen
whose background claims
"kubuntu"
"Powered by Trinity"
huh??? kunbuntu?
So, I complete the login, and
I AM PRESENTED WITH THE GNOME DESKTOP.
No doubt it's a snafu on my part.
But where do I start looking?
Thanks in advance!
Jonesy

My gmane access to these lists has almost devolved into a read-only
situation. It seems I can do a new post -- as I did successfully
yesterday "Subject: Trying to install Trinity 14.1"
.. to which I received a accurate and polite answer.
However, when I tried to do a followup for a "Thank You!" (twice I
tried), I see there was no posting of THAT item.
My gmane access date back to the _OLD_ gmane.org days and I have no
memory of how my subscription has been carried forward to what I'm
having trouble with today.
Searching the web, and https://trinitydesktop.org/ ,
and the https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/ website yields no results
for how to join the lists.
Just how does one get on to the users and devel Trinity discussion
lists? I wish to do it with a much cleaner, less convoluted email addy
and profile. (As you can see, my email addy was setup for the bad ol'
days when usenet was a harvest location for spammers.)
Thanks!
Jonesy

I'm looking for confirmation about whether TDM passes login information
to the operating system.
For me the who, w, and last commands do not show any tty logins when
using TDM. The who, w, and last commands function as expected with SDDM,
showing tty logins. (pts logins are irrelevant.)
Also, are there any specific tdmrc options that might cause this?
Thanks.
Now, another problem :
no reaction with intenet link in Kmail when I click on it.,
the link doesn't open automatically, I have to make a copy/paste,
open a navigator and paste it in the URL bar.
André
PS : the konqueror search bar volatilized not solved.
Thanks, cheers.
Hello,
a small field, next on the left of the address bar who permits to enter
a key word, has disappeared.
On the other hand, it is present on my others computers,
with trinity-konqueror also last version.
Cheers,
André
