It works well for testing but the "Install" does not work. When clicking "install", nothing happens. I tried the command from the icon properties in a terminal: nothing happens, no error, nothing. Something is missing I think. Regards, Pascal

Two-up icons in vertical panel bars?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Because I now have a high-resolution widescreen monitor, I keep all of my working icons in vertical panels on the left and right sides of my display to maximize the amount of vertical space for windows. I like to have my Preview & Pager applet set to two columns for easy switching between desktops, and that makes me want to use a Large size panel, but that means that I'm running out of space for application icons. Is there any way to make my icons appear two-up, the way the ones in the System Tray do? In the attached screenshot, both the right (main) panel and left panel are Large size. As can be seen, when the left panel is set to Large size, there's no more room for application icons. If the icons in the left panel could be displayed the way the ones in the System Tray appear, that would be very helpful. N.B. I don't like to use desktop icons, and I don't like using shortcut keys for switching desktops. Leslie

TDE & conky
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi all! I try to get a transparent background with conky, but somehow I need dirty tricks to make it going: When I start conky from .xinitrc ("sleep 15; conky -d"), the background is blue and stays blue when TDE is running. Conky writes text on that blue background, but never erases it, so it gets unreadable after some time. Switching to another desktop and back again does not change this. The behaviour is the same without delay, so that TDE starts in parallel and twin comes up after conky. When I start conky from .trinity/Autostart/<something>.desktop - which calls only "sleep 15; conky -d", then the background is black and stays black, conky erases it before writing. Switching to another desktop and back again gives a pseudo-transparent background in conky. When twin comes up after conky, then the background of conky is as above (blue without erase). I have put the second way including switching desktops into a file that's called from TDE autostart, so things basicly work. But what I do not understand: what is the difference from calling conky from .xinitrc to calling it from .trinity/Autostart? And what chages, if twin comes up before/after conky? I'm quite sure that this is TDE specific, 'cause when running fvwm I do not observe this. And it looks like it is OS agnostic, I see the same thing happen on FreeBSD, too.

Problem with starting arduino ide (from devel to user)
by MLR 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi again. Did Nik mean chmod o+w or chmod a+w? I looked to the manpage, a+w is writeable for everyone. It can solve the message "failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp'". But I learned that user shouldnt write in /etc/... folder. When I made chmod a+w /etc/tqt3 does it affect on /etc or only in /etc/tqt3? I dont want to destroy my system. :/ For the new readers, this is my problem: I have ubuntu 18.4 with trinity R14.0.5. If I want to start the arduino ide from arduino.cc (download and extract arduino-1.8.7-linux64.tar.xz) there comes the splash-screen for one second and it crashes with this message: ~/arduino-1.8.7$ ./arduino Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing What I have to install or change? I logged in today with the ubuntu standard desktop and the arduino ide works great. deloptes points in devel to $CLASSPATH, the var in empty in my shell. ./arduino is a bash script.

switching from gnome to tde on stretch, what do I edit?
by Gene Heskett 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

The install didn't switch it, and gnome won't show me the tools. Help! Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order." -Ed Howdershelt (Author) Genes Web page <http://geneslinuxbox.net:6309/gene>

back on wheezy 2 problems w/stretch
by Gene Heskett 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

First is the tde desktop looks a bit strange. When I installed, because getting rid of gnome is such a pain in the ass, I chose xfce4 during the install, and although I've installed several hundred of the core trinity bits, I still have an xfce4 desktop. /etc/X11/default-display-manager says twm. /etc/init.d has lightdm. I'm getting the tde login but am not getting tde. And I can't run a root session in a Konsole, display 10 no perms. I guess thats more than two problems. Do I rip lightdm out by its hair with an rm to it in etc/init.d or what to actually get a tde x session running?

kmail has become essentially unusable
by Gene Heskett 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

I just stopped it, reinstalled everything kmail related in a synaptic search, and restarted it from the tde menu. It immediately reported two bad indices, for folders emc and spam-hold, and took 32 minutes to scan those 2 folders and open its gui. I own as gene:gene with perms from 600 to 644 in the /home/gene/Mail subdir. It is NOT updating now for 4 days, the files in /home/gene/Mail/emc/cur to indicate read or important by appending the ':2,S' or ':2,RS' but it is generating new indices, 2 of them everytime it tries to scan that folder, so it CAN create/write to that folder. There are around 60100 messages in that folder, and the indice files are drwxr-xr-x 5 gene gene 4096 Mar 31 12:08 emc -rw------- 1 gene gene 44551163 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 240389 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index.ids These 2 files have been nuked to see if a rebuild fixes it, no. And now everthing kmail, about 8 packages, has been re-installed from the local archive since the mirror is missing now for several days. Is there a fix? Or can it be fixed short of installing a stretch netinstall on a new drive? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

[trinity-users] Fedora - where is default xsession configured?
by Felix Miata 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

In Debians, it's /etc/X11/default-display-manager. In openSUSE 15.0, it's /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop. startx opens TDE session. Neither works in Fedora 29. startx starts X, then exits. startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde works, but shouldn't be needed. There are only two installed, Trinity, and IceWM. Default should not be neither. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/
