Turns out, the geniuses at Gnome/GTK/GIMP came up with new and flaky sliders (not *quite* as bad as the disappearing scrollbars, but close). These allow the slider to work as expected if you employ the top half of the slider, but not if you use the lower half, where the pointer turns into a double-headed arrow and does God-knows-what. Seems to me that UI design got about right at, say, KDE-3.51, but the children keep screwing around with it instead of adding actual features.
And in any case, conventions have been flung down and danced upon, so the idea of window controls behaving identically from application to application are about where they were with DOS 4.1.

Greetings;
Synaptic seems to want a root pw in its run requestor, but root doesn't
have pw, everything is done with sudo or sudo-like such as gksudo.
How can I fix the for tde so its happy with the sudo pw?
Hi all,
who of you are using Preliminary Stable Builds or Preliminary Stable Builds
repository, you know that the repositories are signed by my personal key.
To avoid dependency of the repositories on the personal key, we have
prepared a new general GPG key - Trinity Desktop Environment Archive
Signing Key (id 0xc93af1698685ad8b).
To ensure a smooth transition to the new GPG key, install or update the
trinity-keyring package. It is planned that the new GPG key will be used
to sign the repository from the end of May.
Cheers

Sorry Dep,
I don't see that behavior here.
Perhaps it's hardware related?
I had to update my T60's spin drive to SSD in order to run PCLOS Big Daddy
64bit. BD64b with a spin drive was very very slow and gtk apps were notably
slower than tde apps.
Here are some other details.
GIMP 2.10.10
Intel 1.8 GHZ
4G RAM
WD SSD 1tb.
Sorry this wasn't helpful,
Kate
Greetings all;
okular seems to run ok most of the time, but when run from the cli logs
this:
gene@coyote:~/linuxcnc/nc_files$ okular
okular(1985)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(1985)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

okular(1985)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
okular(1985)/kdeui (kdelibs) KXMLGUIClient::~KXMLGUIClient: 0x8cef5b0
deleted without having been removed from the factory first. This will
leak standalone popupmenus and could lead to crashes.
This is my fav pdf reader, and I get 3 to 4 weeks uptime before something
goes to pot and I need to reboot this old wheezy install.
Connected? IDK, maybe... I have a stretch testing image from the LCNC
folks that I put on an old Dell out in the garage as the sacrificial
goat, and its running quite well so far, so this wheezy may get retired
finally. Sometime in the next week or two if the creek doesn't get too
high. :)
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Greetings . . .
I've installed the newest GIMP, 2.10.x, and I've observed and endured a phenomenon that I've previously found in other new Gnome apps running under TDE: functions such as scrolling and slider bars are *very* slow. The mouse pointer moves as quickly as expected, but the scroll/slide pokes along and sometimes comes to a complete halt. Is there a setting someplace that will let me use Gnome apps under TDE and have the mouse work as well as it does in native Gnome? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings all;
The camera is a Canon pssx429is(bk)
Otherwise called a PowerShot SX420IS
plugged a match usb cable into it, but while camera cts differently with
usb power applied, there is zilch logged, either in syslog or dmesg
indicating a connection is available.
Canon has only drivers using nfc, or wifi, and only for the last 4
versions of (spit) winders.
Is there any hope of getting the images out of it short of removing the
card and putting it in a reader? I'd rather not do that, so while as a
camera it beats my nikon l100 by a country mile, I'll take it back for a
refund based on lack of image access by any means under linux. Mounting
it in a reader does work, but leaving it in the camera makes buckets
more sense. I've taken one pix, so an ls -lR of /media/usb0 gets this:
gene@coyote:~$ ls -lR /media/usb0
/media/usb0:
total 32
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 DCIM
/media/usb0/DCIM:
total 64
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 100___04
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 CANONMSC
/media/usb0/DCIM/100___04:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4809306 Apr 26 2019 IMG_0001.JPG
/media/usb0/DCIM/CANONMSC:
total 32
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108 Apr 26 2019 M0100.CTG
gene@coyote:~$
Does this provide any clues as to how to do it with the card still in the
camera? Digikams autoscan finds nothing.
Thanks for any clues folks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

hi all!
Is https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org stil operational? I just tried to open an old bug (tdelibs on FreeBSD fails to pass test: Test 31 - tdeio/kmimetypetest (Failed) is back), but I was neither able to log in nor to create a new account.
