There are a couple of things I can think of to test things out. 1. Create a new user see if anything changes. 2. Grab another HD, install and createa new user. If you see some improvement, copy the old user dir over and recreate the old users. Maybe it's a corrupted user dir or a bad HD? Good luck, Kate

making desktop size sticky?
by D. R. Evans 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

I've installed TDE on a new system running debian stable. X is starting correctly with screen size 1920x1200, but every time when I log in, I'm presented with a TDE desktop of size 1024x768 and have to resize it. So I'm wondering: 1. Where is the value 1024x768 coming from? 2. How do I change it so that the TDE desktop starts at 1920x1200, so that I don't need to modify it manually each time?

[trinity-users][opensuse] menu reconstruction
by Felix Miata 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

A fellow user suffered extreme visual impairment, which severely limits his ability to use his PC. At irregular intervals, I straighten out his problems, and do his release upgrades. Somehow in his desire to reduce clutter on Kicker by deleting unused objects he has managed to eliminate a large number of items from his main menu. Office is totally absent, even though the entirety of LibreOffice is installed. Likewise, Internet, Utilities and System are also missing. Is there some simple XDG or other way to regenerate the menu that doesn't eliminate menu customization or impact Kicker? <https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_desktop_guides/kde_desktop_us…> suggests touch $KDEDIR /share/services/update_ksycoca Substituting $TDEDIR produces no such file or directory. # man ksycoca No manual entry for ksycoca # man xdgmenu No manual entry for xdgmenu # man update-menus No manual entry for update-menus $ ls -l .*xdg* *xdg* ls: cannot access '.*xdg*': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '*xdg*': No such file or directory :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[trinity-users] 16.04 to 18.04 upgrade -> Xorg segfaulting
by Felix Miata 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Anyone else have a perfectly working 16.04, upgrade to 18.04, then X segfaults? Neither TDE nor IceWM run because X doesn't get far enough along. Google hasn't found me anything on point as yet. :-( http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.0.log-u1804-p5bse-backtrace -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

tde update disaster, helllppppp!!!!!!
by Gene Heskett 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Greetings all; I updated tde about 2 hours ago, 300+ files. Its totally fscked, defaulting to xfce4 and nothing but a tiny terminal works. But that terminal is enough to get more started. Can't find kmail from the xfce4 menu but kmail is what it reports it cannot find so $path is screwed. I've gone single and tried to relink default-display back to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, failed. Tried to reset it in /etc/default, failed. Tried just about everthiing including re-installing the trinty-base & twm/tdm stuffs. no luck I finally found /opt/trinity/bin/kmail and have it running but no clue if I can send this. How in tuncket do I restore my default desktop to tde now??? I asccidently touched the folder icon, it opened a huge requester asnd froze everthing but gkrellm which I had found and started so I could see if the robots were DDOSing me, so I had to re-start it with the front panel reset button. I likely have the whole thing to fix as right now its cycleing back and forth as its starting x with a tde login but clears that screen and eventually starts xfce4. And here come the damned bots, so I gotta get iptables running. Thanks for any help. debian stretch on amd64 if that helps.

[trinity-users] dcopserve and tdelaunch failures
by David C. Rankin 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Hi people, Running into dcopserve and tdelaunch failures. I did all the usual things. deleted dop etc etc files, check perms and the like. Even created a new user.Different machines etc. Root runs with very little problem but still has those errors on occasion. General question... Anyone else encounter this? Kate, There is an old bug resulting from an iceAuth issue that will prevent dcop from starting. I cannot recall the exact issue, but it was either an xorg or iceauth version change issue. Another possible problem is a change or misconfigured hostname. Have you changed that lately? I did a quick search and can't find a decent link to the iceauth issue I'm thinking about. Maybe your google foo is better than mine there, but I recall it being a 2016 issue? (or maybe a year or two on either side). The search results I get show 2008-2009 range that isn't the problem I'm thinking of.
