Hello, Since I upgraded Debien from Stretch to Buster, no X graphic (xorg). # dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity "tdm.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it" I'm lost to repair, any help = welcome ! André

I'm using it since 10+y w/o issue. Important is to setup the keys in kgpg and the sign/encrypt and decrypt functionality in kmail. There is always these two encrypt and decrypt. For the encryption you need the private key. 1-2y ago I provided pinentry-tqt. I don't think it got into the mainstream yet. Otherwise you have to use some other pinentry (gnome,kde, terminal). This is setup in the gpg-agent config. So presumably your key is setup correctly in kgpg and kmail First you verify the key you want to encrypt for in kgpg and trust it (it becomes green), then you can use this email adress (gpg identity) for encrypting mails. I even sign these messages from time to time as others do. regards -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQSgzx3AlTPl6H9U20Dx7rjNn7FqUAUCXcZwIwAKCRDx7rjNn7Fq UOicAQCBSQ3iGpoxIMzkTOLBDcC3hunEjRJjm+1VY4Chr+zeWQD/dSA69qT/+0rg blOt8vYSojGb1YZzHTGekbRbA4ilUVU= =1VQl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Automounting encrypted portable drives
by Janek Stolarek 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

Hi all, I have an encrypted portable drive. When I plug it in Konqueror prompts me to provide a password to encrypt the device, but upon enterig the password I get a message saying that this feature is only available with HAL. IIRC HAL has been dropped, wasn't it? Is there any way to get this working? Janek

problem with tdelauncher
by Uwe Brauer 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi I am running Ubuntu 16.04 (64bit) and 4.14.06. Since yesterday I have the following problems 1. when hitting an icon in the panel I receive TDElauncher cannot be reached via DCOP. 2. When trying to copy the icon to the desktop I also obtain cannot talk to tdelauncher. So I have to log out and to logout, then it works for a while but not for long. What is the issue here? Regards Uwe Brauer

Only single packages from trinity on a Plasma system?
by Dr. Martin Senftleben 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Hi, there is one software the development of which was stopped before KDE moved to plasma, and hence it requires KDE 3. That's why I have TDE running on a virtualbox. I would prefer that package to be available within my system, but I didn't succeed so far. The worst case that happened was that it rendered my system almost useless. Here is the setup: I run Manjaro stable up to date, an Arch derivate. Trinity or TDE is not available for that distribution, as far as I know. I want to use Quanta+ from TDE. Is there a way to get that done? (Maybe I get my hands at the source code some day, but I have no experience with C++ and am not sure if that will ever yield workable results). Regards, Martin

Advice for distro without systemD
by Larry Stotler 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Hello folks, Been using TDE on openSUSE for a while(and S.u.S.E since v5.3 *sigh*) but I think it's time to move to a non systemD infested distro. I'm not here to debate the merits of it, I've made my decision and I'm looking for advice from those that run TDE on distros that don't use systemD. There's Devuan(never really been a fan of Debian or uBuntu tho). I'm just afraid that Devuan won't be able to keep up. Would love to go back to Slackware, but it seems the lastest version is 3.5.13ish?? Anyway, if you use a non-systemD distro, please let me know how TDE works on it. Thanx

Update brings lightdm back
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

Hello all, Just decided to let my Debian 10 update, which it did. Next reboot I got greeted by xfce's login screen (I had installed Debian with xfce), managed to find my way back into TDE running the usuall dpkg-reconfigure lightdm. However I was wondering: if I remove lightdm, what will happen next update? Thierry

My reply is NOT intended to upset anyone. It's not my place to tell others what to want or use. Just answer the question, which is PCLOS Big Daddy build by Alistair Izzard. Not perfect but I can get everything I need done. Video/audio editing, desktop publishing, internet, email and more. Very reliable, hasn't failed me yet. Thanks Ali. If someone else wants to use something else, wonderful. I look forward the comparison and stories about it. Difference is wonderful. Just answer the question, the why of this question belongs only to the one asking. For the record.... 1974 Chevy Nova Coupe Hatchback RS Thinkpad T60 with a WD SSD Kate hopes off the soap box and mysteriously disappears to the mist.
