Installed stretch on a fresh hard drive, using a multiple partition
setup, default gnome simple install. Broke my eyeballs and will use up
a set of batteries in my mouse weekly to get anything done. Its a single
user, single tasking system, with a busted terminal emulator, at best.
Rebooted back to wheezy and printed the "debian trinity repository
installation instructions", then rebooted back to stretch to apply them.
Did, but got an odd error with the import key line. Fixed trinity.list
for apt of course first. But synaptic did run, tde was clear at the
bottom of the left column, but I found it and 45 minutes and about
1100MB of downloads later I thought I had enough tde to run. R14.0.5
FWIW.
Rebooted to stretch, was greeted by the trinity login greeter, thought I
was home free, but it was quiet for about 45 seconds after I entered the
pw. Then boom, I'm looking at the worthless gnome screen again.
During the install, I was asked which manager to use and clicked on
tdm-trinity.
But its not sticking, and I can't mount the stretch drive and edit it,
theres enough diffs between the ext4's that it refuses to mount from
wheezy. And if I add it to wheezy's fstab, the reboot locks up and I
have to use the root pw to get a shell and # sign that line back out of
wheezy'd fstab. Hopefully I will not have that problem in reverse
because there's about 150 GB of stuff on the old wheezy drive to copy
over. I did that, and I could read a dir or 3, but when I rebooted to
wheezy again, it had to do a 20 minute e2fsck of the wheezy drive, which
it did w/o reporting any errors.
Looks like I need help before I really screw this up.
So first, what do I edit or nuke to get rid of the gnome over-ride?
Thanks.

I stumbled across this from the TDE, Devuan Wiki page, and unfortunately I
don’t have enough knowledge of Debian to know what a proper fix, or
additional wording for a clarification, for these would be.
Ref: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall
> Section: 4.1 Fresh R14.0.x installation
lists TDE v3.5.13.2 instructions…
(I can’t really tell, but I think a header got left out?)
> Section: 4.2 Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation
has the command, “sudo aptitude full-upgrade”
Per Googling, “full-upgrade is the former dist-upgrade”
Per, https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.apt-get.html
“such as the change from one major Debian version to the next, you need to use
apt full-upgrade”
Whatever the correct instructions are, is being forced to upgrade from
say ‘7.x - wheezy’ to ‘9.x - stretch’ accurate? But, that does seem to
directly conflict with the information presented in “1.1 R14.0.x series,”
which implies I can stay on ‘7.x - wheezy’ and install R14x.
# # #
Would someone add some additional appropriate information to that page? And
if the distribution upgrade is a requirement, also add some really ‘bold’
warnings?
Best,
Michael
Is there a setting somewhere to make konqueror preserve
file dates when copying/moving files from pane to pane?
I do not see any such thing in konqueror's settings.
My Big Need is in copying/moving files off my camera's SD card...

Hi all!
I have a couriouse problem: kmix does not restore volume after login. The volume is always set to 0%. kmixrc says "starttdeRestore=true" (see attatched kmixrc). Any clue how I can get the volume restored to the previouse value?

Hi Guys,
Running Q4OS 64bit on an AMD dual core machine, Trinity desktop,
R14.0.4
I think I might have stumbled on a bug.
This morning I sent some Jpg images via Kmail 1.9.10 enterprise 35
0.20100827.1168748. I had three in a directory. I did "Cnrtl A" and
selected all three to attach them to the mail. The first image was
ignored and not attached.
I tried with multiple images a couple of times, in each try the first
item was ignored.
I thought I had better mention it.
Thanks guys, brilliant work.

Hi Baron and others
I think I may have experienced this meself.
A wee bit a go, I was copying files and think something like that happened.
It was also on an AMD based unit, but I think it happened in an intel too.
I'll check both machines and see if it happens again tomorrow.
Cheers,
Kate
Hello Humans, AIs and others.
I'm trying to get hd temps to show up on ksensors as user on a 64bit pclos
setup. As user I have video, cpu (everything cpu) but no hd temp. They show
up as root, though.
Is there a command to allow user access to hddtemp?
This is literally the last obstacle to having this rig perfect.
Thanks to all in advance,
Kate
