Logic suggests, I did something to create the problem. Let's ass-ume I did something wrong and wait until it came be proven otherwise. I'm going to build a test machine, install and see if a raw, clean user has the same problem. "Please stand by..."

[trinity-users] A Bug?
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

I think I found a bug. A cockroach that needs to be crushed with extreme, bloody thirsty prejudice. Please launch konq, 1. create a directory. 2. Right click, go to properties 3. Click on the icon button 4. choose applications If I'm correct, it will freeze at about 24 to 26 % whilst caching the icons. Let me know what everyone finds. The power just went out!!!

[trinity-users] kde
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Just installed manjaro into the ideapad flex 4 because it has touchscreen support ootb. I choose the kde version. I will never use kde again. It was clunky, slow, pointless complicated (way to many steps to do the same things I do with one click on TDE). I don't understand why they went in this direction. Ok rant over.

[trinity-users] questions about upgrade to Beowulf/Buster
by William Morder via trinity-users 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

Okay guys, so I am stumped and confuzzled. I just did an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (= Debian Buster), and everything went fine; except once up and running, I couldn't download more than a few of Trinity's packages. After trying different repositories, and playing with my sources list, I managed to do just a bit better, then I saved the day with some extreme voodoo using about config (scrolling through the manpages to find something that work). I ended up getting enough the Trinity packages to download by using --ignore-hold and dselect-upgrade options. I even searched out the links to deb packages on the developers' repositories, and downloaded them with wget, so that I could try forcing install using dpkg. Now at least (at last) I do have a working system which is a reasonable facsimile of my previous one, but it does seem like it ought to have been easier. For about the past three days now, I've lived in the command-line. Also I would like recommendations for a firewall that displays active connections and rules, etc., like the old Firestarter used to do. I catch all kinds of problems by noticing activity on my firewall, but now I cannot seem to find one that displays active connections, and Firestarter can no longer be hacked to make it work on a newer system. Thanks for any advice or comments, Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

Hello Collective As I said previously, I'm rebuilding my primary computer. I've contacted several board makers and only gigabyte replied so far. Below is their offerings for threadripper cpus. I'd like opinions and why. https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/AMD-TRX40 Thanks to all in advance, Kate --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

[trinity-users] Project status report - history
by Slávek Banko 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi all, before we get back to earlier discussions, let me take a little trip into history and summarize how the state of the project has evolved over time and what are the tasks that await us. Note: If you do not want to take a trip into history, you can wait for the subsequent e-mail with the Summary chapter. -- 2008 / 2009 -- KDE 3.5 development comes to a stop KDE 3.5 development stops. As a KDE 3.5 maintainer for Ubuntu, Tim devotes his efforts to maintaining KDE 3.5 for newer versions of KUbuntu - still under the original name KDE 3.5. Unfortunately, I do not know much about that time. Tim provides repositories that sooner or later would be found as PPAs on the official Ubuntu Launchpad. Tim provides bugtracker and mailing lists that are independent of the Ubuntu world. -- 2010 -- TDE is born! Fork KDE 3.5 is official - Trinity Desktop is here! The first version of TDE (3.5.11) is released. A branch in KDE SVN is used to manage the source code. Other services are provided and donated by Tim. Starting with release 3.5.12, Tim provides QuickBuild (a custom instance of Launchpad). Thank to this, the project has an independent environment for building packages and providing repositories for Debian like distributions. -- 2011 -- Move to TQt TDE 3.5.13 is released - the first version where the TQt interface library is used. It is decided to change the numbering for the new major release - it will be TDE R14.0.0. Work is underway to migrate from KDE SVN to TDE own GIT SCM. -- 2012 -- Development, stable and SRU releases Because TDE 3.5.13 contained many minor but also major issues, a repository was created to provide packages with backported patches from the main R14.0.0 development branch - the basis for working on a stable branch was created. Initially, only individual packages were created, but gradually all packages were added and a complete release of TDE 3.5.13.1 is created. Migration to the GIT is complete! The project has all the services on its own servers - provided and donated by Tim. There is a system of mirrors where individual mirrors are provided and donated by the owners of these mirrors. -- 2013 -- Work on upcoming R14.0.0 continues TDE 3.5.13.2 is released. Many KDE => TDE renames are being done for the upcoming R14.0.0. -- 2014 -- R14.0.0 is finally here + PSB TDE R14.0.0 is released! A base framework for major, minor and maintenance releases is established. Due to air conditioning issues on Tim's infrastructure and the temporary shutdown of some services, alternative repositories with builders independent of QuickBuild are created - repository known as Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB). The infrastructure for PSB is provided and donated by Slávek. Mirror PSB is provided and donated by Jan Černohorský (mirror.xcer.cz). The structure of official mirrors is improved to reduce overloading the connectivity of primary servers when a new version is released. Mike Bird provides and donates the primary mirror. -- 2015 -- Maintenance releases TDE R14.0.1 and R14.0.2 are released. Due to low funds, some services are shutdown on Tim's infrastructure - regular automatic creation of Ubuntu LiveCDs with TDE. Access to Nightly Builds is restricted. And there are some hardware issues with the servers on Tim's infrastructure. Slávek manages to get a VPS machine from vpsFree as a donation! This makes it possible to create a new highly optimized primary redirector. Thanks to the cache on the redirector, the process of releasing new releases has become significantly faster. It also provides a fallback server so that development and services can continue. -- 2016 -- More maintenance releases TDE R14.0.3 and R14.0.4 are released. Development is progressing steadily. Infrastructure is stable - Tim's primary site, mirrors with primary from Mike, VPS from vpsFree, Slávek's infrastructure for PSB. There are small donations from contributors. Tim is busy with other projects for most of the year. -- 2017 -- A quiet year for TDE + PTB No new release of TDE :-( Development is slow and mostly limited to keep packages into a building state. Most of the developers are very busy through the year. Nightly Builds don't work properly for a long time and due to Tim absence, it's difficult to add new distributions. Therefore the Preliminary Testing Build (PTB) repository has been set up to replace Night Builds. The packages are built on the same infrastructure as PSB. Both repositories - PSB and PTB - have now been placed on the primary redirector - VPS from vpsFree, making them more accessible and giving them some sort of official recognition. -- 2018 -- TDE lives on. TGW becomes the new developer's home TDE R14.0.5 is released - the project has not die after all! Thanks to VPS donated by vpsFree, we introduced a new development collaboration tool - TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW). This greatly improves the ability to contribute to the project and new contributors have joined. Problems with services hosted on Tim's primary infrastructure are becoming progressively bigger, causing issues to the project as a whole given only Tim can manage those services. Slávek and Michele come up with plans for an anternative TDE infrastructure should Tim be no longer available in future. -- 2019 -- New life for TDE and a new project leader! TDE R14.0.6 and R14.0.7 are released. Thanks to VPS donated by vpsFree, the TDE Weblate Translation Workspace (TWTW) is introduced. This greatly simplifies and improves translation work and let users translates TDE into their own languages from a browser seamlessly. Tim arranges for the donation of a new TDE box from IntegriCloud! A powerful machine on the POWER9 architecture which is fully manageable and accessible to other core project members. No more "one man weak link" in the infrastructure. Migration of services from Tim's infrastructure to the new TDE box is started. Tim agrees to pass the role of project leader to Slávek. A new primary archive is created, the layout is changed and cleaning is performed. As a result, primary archive is no longer dependent on QuickBuild as it would make it impossible to release new versions for current distributions. Reprepro is now used to manage the repositories. The official packages are now based on PSB. This also allows smoother synchronization of new releases to mirrors. The new archive is located on Slávek's home server, which maintains and donates it. -- 2020 -- TDE 10th anniversary! TDE R14.0.8 is released - we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first release of TDE! Although there are several tasks for migrating services from Tim's infrastructure to Integricloud's new TDE box, the services needed for development are working properly. Several new contributors to code and translations have joined and development is at its peak in the last 6 or 7 years. The project is doing well! R14.0.9 is planned for a Q4 release. Welcome back from a trip into history! A summary of the state of the infrastructure will be in the subsequent e-mail... stay tuned. Cheers -- Slávek

[trinity-users] Review/Edit Please, Wiki: MX Linux Trinity Repository Installation Instructions
by Michael 20 Aug '20

20 Aug '20

Would someone review the changes I made to: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… Typo’s?, instructions make sense?, file download works? (seems to in Firefox), file not destroyed by browser XYZ?, file is destroyed in browser XYZ? Thanks, Michael PS: Limitation of the Wiki software requires uploading the file under the wrong name. As far as I could research there is no other way to do it, but I’d gladly be wrong. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

[trinity-users] A near windows 10 suicide & The ideapad flex 4 of Death - A Horror Story
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Ok, SO... A neighbour, decide to give me his ideapad flex 4, after seriously contemplating suicide rather than continue using win10. I replaced it with a thinkpad and Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS roll. He's very happy, his employer has NO idea Bob's sudden increase in productivity has anything to do with linux. So all is well. I have cleansed the ideapad of the diseased demon and installed Big Daddy PCLOS. All is well expect the touch screen doesn't work. Anyone know of any packages I need to install? I seem to have all of them. Until the ideas (pun intended) begin rolling in, I'll continue my research. Thanks in advance, Kate The Great and Terrible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
