Default filemanager question
by Pisini, John 12 Jul '18

12 Jul '18

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 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

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 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

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 08 Jul '18

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.

How to use mouse click as part of a keyboard shortcut?
by mb_trinity_desktop＠inet-design.com 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

Hi All, In a boneheaded move, I ended up deleting quite a few of my .config files (user/.trinity/…) and while I’ve restored/fixed almost everything back to the way it was, I can’t seem to re-figure out how I used a mouse click in keyboard shortcuts. I had this working globally: {Windows Key} + {left mouse click} = Minimize application under mouse cursor If you get use to it, it’s insanely useful and much easier than tracking down each app’s minimize button. # # # I thought I had originally set it up in the Trinity Control Center: Trinity Control Center >> Regional & Accessibility >> Keyboard Shortcuts (Global Shortcuts >> Windows >> Minimize Window) But I can’t get that to take a mouse click in the “Configure Shortcut” popup. {Windows Key} + {space} works. AFAIK I didn’t install anything else to do this: michael@local [~/.trinity/share]# which file xbindkeys xdotool xautomation easystroke xev /usr/bin/file /usr/bin/xev # # # So a couple questions: - Does the “Configure Shortcut” popup take mouse clicks for anyone else? - Can anyone point me in the right direction on what I need to dig back into to restore/fix it’s config so mouse clicks can be use in keyboard shortcuts again? Thanks All, Michael

default display manager in Ubuntu 16.04 + trinity
by Uwe Brauer 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Hi I have recently installed trinity on Ubuntu 16.04 in two ways 1. Installing Ubuntu 16.04 first and then add the trinity repos 2. Using the livecd. There are subtle difference. One concern the default-display-manager In both cases I have set it to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm But while the login screen looks relatively modern in the first case (it has the log of powered by trinity), the second installations log screen has the charme of the 90, no offense intended. Any explanation for this behaviour? Regards Uwe Brauer
