problem with tdenetworkmanager on raspberry pi 3

by lee jones

Hello all! Having a problem here with tde's network manager. I'm using a raspberry pi 3 here along with the latest version of raspbian stretch lite. However after installing tde which works fine the tde network manager does not seem to be finding any wifi networks. The tdenetworkmanager does see a wired network ok however. I can confirm the wifi is working properly as I can run iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID and see a list of wireless networks. There also isn't anything in /etc/network/interfaces . If I run tdenetwork manually from within tde but at a command line I do get some messages however: [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: gpiochip1 type: (null) subsystem: gpio driver: (null) [Node Path: /dev/gpiochip1] [Syspath: /sys/devices/gpiochip1] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: gpiochip128 type: (null) subsystem: gpio driver: (null) [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/gpiochip1/gpio/gpiochip128] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan0 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan0] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan1 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan1] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan2 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan2] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan3 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan3] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan4 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan4] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan5 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan5] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan6 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan6] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan7 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan7] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan8 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan8] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: dma0chan9 type: (null) subsystem: dma driver: bcm2835-dma [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f007000.dma/dma/dma0chan9] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: gpiochip0 type: (null) subsystem: gpio driver: pinctrl-bcm2835 [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f200000.gpio/gpio/gpiochip0] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: gpiochip0 type: (null) subsystem: gpio driver: (null) [Node Path: /dev/gpiochip0] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f200000.gpio/gpiochip0] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: mmc1:0001:1 type: (null) subsystem: sdio driver: brcmfmac [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f300000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/mmc1:0001:1] [(null):(null)] [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE name: mmc1:0001:2 type: (null) subsystem: sdio driver: brcmfmac [Node Path: (null)] [Syspath: /sys/devices/platform/soc/3f300000.mmc/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:0001/mmc1:0001:2] [(null):(null)] WARNING: [void Tray::createDeviceTrayComponent(TQString)] UDI: /sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/lo has unknown devicetype: 11 Not sure what is going wrong here x.x ! ljones

For TDE upgrade to R14.0.5 should any TDE packages be held back?

by Michael

My day to ask the list odd questions??? Is it normal to have these TDE packages being held back (below)? A few of them seem sorta ‘mission critical?’ I’m running a full backup tonight, but I’d rather not spend the next two days installing/re-building from scratch if I don’t have too... Best All, Michael Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS 4.2.0-27-generic #32~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux # apt-get upgrade The following packages have been kept back: kcontrol-trinity kdesktop-trinity kfind-trinity kicker-trinity konq-plugins-trinity konqueror-trinity kpersonalizer-trinity ksmserver-trinity ksplash-engine-moodin-trinity ksplash-trinity linux-generic-lts-wily linux-headers-generic linux-headers-generic-lts-wily linux-image-generic-lts-wily tdeaddons-trinity tdebase-data-trinity tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity tdebase-trinity-bin tdm-trinity The following packages will be upgraded: adept-batch-trinity adept-common-trinity adept-installer-trinity {snip} twin-style-crystal-trinity twin-trinity 160 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.

Installing TDE in Devuan

by Robert Peters

Hello, This has maybe been covered in several places - can someone point me to a simple guide on how to do this? I installed the latest Devuan from USB to an AMD64 laptop. Tried following instructions on Trinity website but keep seeing broken tde packages in Synaptic and aptitude. Maybe I'm using an invalid combination of repositories and distributions. Thanks in advance - RP

Is there a way to copy weird named files form Konqueror?

by Thierry de Coulon

Hello all, That's probably not a Trinity problem, but I'd love to solve it under Trinity. I recently ordered a double CD with music from Albinoni (not that he has anything to do with my problem). When I inserted the CD it mounted and, to my amazement, I saw that there were directories with compresed files, including ogg-vorbis files (which is the format I store my music in). However, the amazement was short-lived. All these files have names as: Albinoni, Tomaso - 01 - Concerto No. 1 for Violin in B flat major, Op. 9%2F1: 1. Allegro.ogg And konqueror does not manage to copy them. I can rip them with k3b, but I find it frustrating that the files are there and I can't use them :) Thierry

I love konq. That said, I use Krusader as an archiving tool. In that respect, it excels. In general is a good straight forward file manager, but to me, it's an archiver. Then there's the essential and immortal MC, the little hero. Kate

Make sure there are no "white" spaces in front of the file and dir name. Change the dir name from Albinoni, Tomaso - 01 - Concerto No. 1 for Violin in B flat major, Op. 9%2F1 To Albinoni_Tomaso_-_01_-_Concerto_No_1_for_Violin_in_B_flat_majorP_Op_9_2F1 Then try again.
