Trinity won't start after updating Arch Linux - workaround for libice

by Snidely Whiplash

I just subscribed so I could post this workaround. It took me days to figure out what was actually wrong with the libice in Archaroo (I use Manjaro, but it's Arch's PGKBUILDS that they use for these packages). It's misleading because of the "ICE connection refused! No supported authentication protocols" etc. What happened is that the location of ICEauthority has been changed to /run/user/UID/ICEauthority (which is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) from ~/.ICEauthority and it doesn't jibe. Blank files are being created in both locations, that don't get the magic cookie data written to them. A workaround is to simply set an ICEAUTHORITY environment variable... export ICEAUTHORITY=/home/yourname/.ICEauthority I just added that variable to the top of my ~/.xinitrc file that I use with startx export ICEAUTHORITY=/home/grogan/.ICEauthority exec starttde I am using current git sources for trinity, and that workaround works for me. I love Trinity by the way, it's my favourite desktop in the world. (I liked KDE 3.x back in the day).

Trinity won't start after updating Arch Linux

by Lucas dos Santos

Hi, I just installed Trinity R14.0.5 [1] in a recently installed Arch Linux based system and I'm not able to start the DM. I added 'exec starttde' line to .xinitrc and made the needed changes in my PATH variable, but, when I issue startx command, TDE won't open. Instead, the following message is shown: ----------- There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /home/username/.DCOPserver_hostname__0 Please check that the "dcopserver program is running! ---------- When I click 'OK', the TDE's splash screen appears, but the first icon keeps flash infinitely and the above mentioned message appears again underneath them. When I click on splash screen, it disappears and when I click in OK again, X exits to tty. The following video shows exactly what occurs: https://streamable.com/mlqy3 This is the output from starttde command: $ starttde [starttde] Starting starttde.

[starttde] Running /opt/trinity/shutdown/agent-shutdown.sh. [starttde] Trinity shutdown complete. Deleting files from ~/.trinity and /tmp directories [2] doesn't solve the problem. I have an old installation of Arch Linux in a virtual machine where Trinity works perfectly. So, I decided to play around with it and do some tests. That system was a little outdated. Thus I decided to do a pacman -Syu in order to update the system's packages. After updating, I no more could to start Trinity. It looks like that a new version from some package is breaking Trinity. Which one? I have no idea! But, I saved a list of the updated packages and also a list of packages' version before updating. Maybe some of you could try to find what package is causing the problem. Trinity works fine with the following packages' version: argon2-20171227-3 audit-2.8.5-2 btrfs-progs-5.1-1 bzip2-1.0.6-8 ca-certificates-mozilla-3.44-1 cmake-3.14.5-1 curl-7.65.1-2 dbus-1.12.14-1 dhcpcd-7.2.1-1 e2fsprogs-1.45.2-1 expat-2.2.6-1 ffmpeg-1:4.1.3-1 firefox-67.0.2-1 freetype2-2.10.0-2 gcc-8.3.0-1 gcc-libs-8.3.0-1 glib2-2.60.4-1 glibc-2.29-1 gnupg-2.2.16-1 gnutls-3.6.8-1 gpgme-1.13.0-1 grub-2:2.02-8 gtk-update-icon-cache-1:3.24.8+177+gae2ef1472c-1 gtk3-1:3.24.8+177+gae2ef1472c-1 guile-2.2.4-2 harfbuzz-2.5.1-1 iana-etc-20190531-1 iproute2-5.1.0-1 iptables-1:1.8.2-1 iso-codes-4.2-1 js60-60.7.0-1 kidletime-5.59.0-1 kwayland-5.59.0-1 kwindowsystem-5.59.0-1 lcms2-2.9-1 less-550-1 libarchive-3.3.3-1 libblockdev-2.21-1 libdrm-2.4.98-1 libice-1.0.9-2 libinput-1.13.2-1 libkscreen-5.16.0-1 libnftnl-1.1.1-1 libpciaccess-0.14-1 libqtxdg-3.3.1-3 libraw-0.19.2-1 libssh-0.8.7-1 libtool-2.4.6+42+gb88cebd5-3 libtorrent-rasterbar-1:1.1.12-1 libutil-linux-2.33.2-1 libuv-1.29.1-1 libva-2.4.1-1 libvpx-1.8.0-1 libwebp-1.0.2-1 libx11-1.6.7-1 libxi-1.7.9-2 libxt-1.1.5-2 libyaml-0.2.1-1 libzip-1.5.2-1 linux-5.1.9.arch1-1 linux-api-headers-5.0.7-1 linux-firmware-20190514.711d329-1 mesa-19.0.6-1 nano-4.2-1 nettle-3.4.1-1 nss-3.44-1 opera-60.0.3255.170-1 perl-5.30.0-2 polkit-0.116-1 proj-5.2.0-1 qt5-base-5.12.3-2 qt5-script-5.12.3-1 qt5-svg-5.12.3-1 qt5-x11extras-5.12.3-1 solid-5.59.0-1 sqlite-3.28.0-1 systemd-242.29-1 systemd-libs-242.29-1 systemd-sysvcompat-242.29-1 tzdata-2019a-1 udisks2-2.8.2-1 util-linux-2.33.2-1 wget-1.20.3-1 x265-3.0-1 xorg-fonts-encodings-1.0.4-5 xorg-server-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-common-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-devel-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xdmx-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xephyr-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xnest-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xvfb-1.20.5-1 xorg-server-xwayland-1.20.5-1 xorg-setxkbmap-1.3.1-2 xorg-xauth-1.0.10-2 xorg-xbacklight-1.2.2-1 xorg-xclock-1.0.8-1 xorg-xinput-1.6.2-2 xorg-xwininfo-1.1.4-1 xorgproto-2018.4-1 xscreensaver-5.42-1 xterm-346-1 But, if I upgrade that packages, Trinity won't start.

Beowulf error

by Pisini, John

So I decided to try out Devuan Beowulf this weekend and got it installed no issues did run into a few minor issues but I was able to work through them. So I added the following to my sources list: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb beowulf deps-r14 main-r14 Which I believe is correct if not let me know as I know there is no stable and I have had good luck with the preliminary stable branch. I do an apt-get update and I get the following: Conflicting distribution: http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb beowulf InRelease (expected beowulf but got buster) Not sure why I am getting it. It looks like I could still do the install as a search shows all the packages but I am not sure if I should or not. I am in XFCE right now but would prefer Trinity.

This netscape plugin is a PITA. Whenever I do an update. Lots of file associations are bonked. For example audio ogg files, which are associated to multimedia apps like Amarok, are suddenly associated with netscape plugin. Is the plugin even needed anymore? Kate

Konqueror view preset

by de.bug

Hi, The Konqueror preset for the View Mode is "Icon View", which IMHO is the worst possible, as it gives no information at all except for the file type. So I always have to change this to "Detailled List View", for every tab and every new window. That is very tiresome, it keeps haunting me for years now. There surely must be a way to configure this once and for all? Unfortunately I have not found the proper config file so far. Any hints? Regards, Michael

TDE ksmserver: is it possible to save and invoke several sessions under different names

by Stefan Krusche

Good day everyone, until now it appeared to me that TDE is only able to save the current session through TDE Menu -> Save Session. At the same time, as long as I remember, the in this way subsequently saved sessions turn up as a set of session files in ~/.trinity/share/config/session and stay there, i.e. are never deleted, not even, when the session is saved next time. I have always wondered because I have never found a way to access the "other", older saved sessions… Now. Also in ~/.trinity/share/config/ksmserverrc several sessions are saved with instructions to load or delete their respective session files in ~/.trinity/share/config/session. Let's have a closer look. Out of curiosity I played with dcop and got this: $ dcop ksmserver ksmserver […] void saveCurrentSessionAs(TQString) […] So it seems there is a function "saveCurrentSessionAs" which would save a session with an individual name given as an argument "(TQString)". I tried: $ dcop ksmserver ksmserver saveCurrentSessionAs "MySession" No error. The session files are created in ~/.trinity/share/config/session just as when you would save a session via TDE Menu -> Save Session. Then I looked in ~/.trinity/share/config/session and voilá, there appears a session with the name "MySession". There are three sessions listed: [LegacySession: MySession] clientMachine1=localhost command1=soffice count=1 [LegacySession: saved at previous logout] count=0 [LegacySession: saved by user] count=0 which then are described under their individual tags, obviously the information needed for ksmserver to restore them: [Session: MySession] […] [Session: saved at previous logout] […] [Session: saved by user] […] I am familiar with TDE's ability to start with "Session: saved by user" and "Session: saved at previous logout" and have always thought "that was it, there's no more ways to save and restore sessions" because these are the only available options in TDE Control Center -> TDE Components -> Session Manager. Until today when I found the above mentioned method to save an additional session with it's own name. Question: How to restore that session that I have saved with the name "MySession"? Or is it a feature implemented only halfway…? Any feedback welcome. Kind regards, Stefan
