[tiny new feature proposal] by default space between "close window" and "restore/maximize"
by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi everyone. This is a proposal for a tiny usability improvement, in my biased opinion. A bit of space between "close window" (the X) and "restore/maximize" (the boxy thing) up right, on the window border. If you remember, kubuntu did this once. You can already do this your self, i'm just proposing to make it the default config. If the devs feel, enough people approve of it on the mailing list, they will do it. So make sure to share your opinion.

Getting the trinity-keyring in Devuan.
by Jimmy Johnson 31 May '18

31 May '18

Getting the trinity-keyring in Devuan can be tricky, I had to learn a system that worked, First of course is to do the Devuan base install and then boot and login and do apt-get update and 'apt-get install trinity-keyring --allow-unauthenticated', now you can apt-get install tde-trinity, you will have to tell apt 'y' for yes when asked to install untrusted. After the install is done and you boot to the trinity desktop you can copy the trinity-keyring and run 'apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.io --recv-keys (paste the trinity-keyring here)' and your good to go. If you try to have a system without the keyring properly installed you are going to have system problems, so make sure you can install aptitude and can run aptitude dist-upgrade without problems.

Help with HDMI audio please!
by Jimmy Johnson 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hey Guys, first my thanks to Timothy who had the foresight to start this project and stay with it. Timothy Pearson you rock! I test Debian and Ubuntu KDE for more than 20yrs, but no more I'm leaving Plasma and Systemd, they take the Happy out of Camping and computing too. I'm trying to setup Trinity with No-Systemd and get a good HDMI connection for both audio and video, it seems with systemd this is no problem and without systemd it's a hit and miss thing, if I keep at it I can get it working but I don't know what I'm doing and get frustrated. I have 3 multimedia computers one has nvidia and I'm watching video and I have audio, I can turn audio down using the video player vol control but the tde-mixer or pulseaudio vol control are not working. The other two are Intel audio and video and I feel lucky to get audio at all, sometimes it's just video and when I go to the konsole and type $ 'pulseaudio --start' I can get audio. Any help to get all this to working auto-magic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Beowulf - TDE-Trinity R14.0.5 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda8 Registered Linux User #380263

can't start screensaver matrix
by Uwe Brauer 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and the corresponding trinity version. But know I have a sort of bizarre problem. I activate the screensaver, I select the matrix. I successfully run the test, but when the screensaver should start, just a simple empty blank screensaver starts, but not the matrix. Is there anybody with a a similar problem and know how to solve it? Thanks Uwe Brauer

kmail, a couple squawks
by Gene Heskett 31 May '18

Hi Slavik; Running latest r14, and I am noting that its losing its last read msg place in a mailing list easier and easier, sending it back to the first time stamp in a given folder. My inbox is approaching 20 years old, as is my coco list. Also, when MMB pasting a url with word wrapping enabled in the composer, it breaks the url even if there are no spaces and is of the style <a.full.url>. Should it not treat stuff surrounded by <> as unbreakable even if it's 500+ chars long, like some of the ebay stuff is these days? If these 2 annoyances could be addressed at some point, I would be quite a bit happier, and would say thank you in all caps. And send another donation the next time Tim needs to pay the bills. There is one economic law I'm a firm believer in, TANSTAAFL, so despite being retired on an SS pension, I manage to try and support the stuff I use. Not lavishly of course, given the income here.

Broadcom wireless in Devuan
by Robert Peters 29 May '18

29 May '18

(was Re: [trinity-users] migrating from Debian to Devuan + VLC) Finally, have a Broadcom wireless connection in Devuan Searching led me to "devuan forums wireless", and to "Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers". The page https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers points out how to find the driver package needed, in my case bcmwl-kernel-source. Downloaded the file from pkgs.org and installed with gdebi-gtk. After that, iwconfig showed wlan0, and I was able to connect. Hope this helps anyone having trouble connecting in Devuan. -Robert

[trinity-users] /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop is not tde.desktop
by Felix Miata 27 May '18

27 May '18

openSUSE 15.0 Prior version 42.3 had no such file /etc/alternatives/default-xsession.desktop. What's the prescribed procedure to make tde the default desktop? I tried 'yast2 alternatives', but tde.desktop is not an offered option, even though it is present in /usr/share/xsessions/. yast2 alternatives offers only icewm-default and icewm-lite. Is this something that needs a bug filed? I don't see anything on point. If yes, in openSUSE tracker, or in TDE tracker? Is there some existing trinity rpm that needs to be installed to create it? -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
