With some looking was able to install and use a desktop system (Mate), configure Wifi, the system clock, etc. But I would really like to be using TDE. There are several posts from years back by people trying to port TDE programs to FreeBSD. I have some software experience and would be glad to help if possible. Robert

After upgrade to 14.0.6, kcontrol doesn't allow Administrator Mode

by J Leslie Turriff

Hi, I've upgraded my OpenSuSE Leap 15 to Trinity 14.0.6, but now I can't use Administrator Mode to e.g. change the Login Manager settings. As a regular user I can start the Trinity Control Center and navigate to System Administration -> Login Manager, but when I click on Administrator Mode I get a tdesu window to fill in the root password, but after filling in the root password it is non-responsive. (See attachment 1.) The problem appears to be with tdesu, because when I kill that, the Control Center window is unlocked again. If I start a root konsole session and enter kcontrol & the Trinity Control Center starts, but has only two components visible (see attachment 2). I also see the following messages in the root konsole window: | █ [tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running... | [tdebuildsycoca] Reusing existing tdesycoca. | kcontrol: WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/ What do I need to change to get the Control Center working properly? What other information will help diagnose this? Leslie

kicker panel died

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I did get it restarted but it was quite a dance. And I think changing the screen background was what killed it. It disappeared when I clicked on apply to change the background. But I just changed the background to half the supplied photos w/o it happening again. But it happened. This might be a place to write a script to relaunch if it disappears from the process list. I hope it doesn't happen frequently. Just saying I guess. Bit of a puzzle to navigate ones workspaces by ctl+F#.

Dual booting Devuan and FreeBSD?

by Robert Peters

Hello, Now running TDE under Devuan ascii. SSD has lots of empty space in which I installed FreeBSD 12 from USB. But it didn't install the boot selection menu. Entered the Live Disk command line and tried using boot0cfg, which created a minimal menu - to boot I still have to keep the USB plugged in. At startup I need to find a way to run FreeBSD on the SSD to be able to install TDE, etc. Any ideas? Robert

kdesktop failing on resolution change

by Pisini, John

Every time I run an app that changes the resolution (mostly games but other apps too) all the icons on my desktop disappear and I have two scripts I run to fix it. #!/bin/bash killall -9 kdesktop #!/bin/bash kdesktop Not sure why this is happening it does seem to be related to TDE. I am running 14.06 on Debian Jessie. -- John Pisini Systems Administrator TFCCS 617-450-3988 Disclaimer for email: The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.

I don't know if it's the application or a fault in the x server. I have seem the same thing happen in MS and apple too. Kate
