After recent upgrade on PSB: Not starting Trinity Display Manager

by Stefan Krusche

Good day everyone, I'm using trinity 14.0.5 from preliminary stable builds on devuan ascii (debian stretch). Through the most recent upgrade, that I executed on 2018-07-02 11:42:01, tdm (amongst a couple others) got upgraded: tdm-trinity:amd64 (4:14.0.5~pre39-0debian9.0.0+6, 4:14.0.5~pre42-0debi an9.0.0+6) After this upgrade tdm wouldn't start anymore and in /var/log/boot I found this error message: Not starting Trinity Display Manager (tdm); it is not the default display manager. The file is there: $ ls -l /etc/X11/default-display-manager -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 Jul 2 11:42 /etc/X11/default-display-manager And it says: $ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager /usr/bin/slim Solution: $ dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity Of course, tdm was the default display manager already before the upgrade, and, as you can guess from the above, slim is installed, too. I think, it should not be necessary to reconfigure the display manager, or, least, the user should be prompted to do so at installation. IIRC, this happened already at the previous upgrade to ~pre39. Has anybody seen this? Do you think it is a bug? Regards, Stefan

Which may suggest the problem is else where, if not in krename or perhaps a combo. I agree btw, Krename is very convenient. Kate

Default filemanager question

by Pisini, John

In older versions of KDE in the default aplications section of Kcontrol there used to be a way to change the file manager see picture in link below. I don't see that anymore. I would like to change from Konqueror to Pcmanfm as my default. Is there a way to set that from the command line or a way to add back the file manager selection? I find that PCmanfm can be set to see many more types of thumbnails than Konqueror can and I find that very helpful. https://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/kde_default.png -- John Pisini Systems Administrator TFCCS 617-450-3988 Disclaimer for email: The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.

Auto sort application list by name in the Panel?

by Michael

We have a Panel, it has multiple application groups, each group has its own pop-up (menu) that shows the running instances. For example, I have a single Kwrite group on my Panel and, when I click on it, it has 28 open files listed in its pop-up. But, they’ve always been in some bizarre order and the order changes (especially during logout/login, but also based on usage) making finding a specific file in the list difficult. You can sorta kludge a specific file to the bottom of the list by closing it and then re-opening it. But when you open/close 50 to 100 files a day, it doesn’t help much. Question: Is there a config somewhere to make the Panel pop-up lists auto sort by name? Thanks, Michael

Android Studio doesn't work only in TDE

by Diego M. Vadell

Hi everybody, I wanted to use Android Studio 3, a java application, and it works with XFCE but it doesn't work with TDE. Any idea of what could be happening? I tried strace'ing the process but I can't find anything useful. JAVA_HOME is there. I'm using Oracle's java, the one Android Studio requires. A graphical program (a java game, freeCol) works. I don't know what else to try besides switching to xfce. Cheers, -- Diego.

You found it!!!!!!!!!!! I have sound after a tdm restart, and after a reboot!!!!!!!!

by Gene Heskett

Updated quite a few packages this morning, including tdm. I could hardly believe my ears, but a tdm restart played the kde sign-on music, so I got a terminal on tty1 and ran speaker-test -c2, worked a treat. Rebooted just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, worked again. So you found whatever was killing my audio as soon as x started. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Did I say it yet? A tip of my Woolrich hat, and a hearty Thank you. Do I dare ask what it was? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
