greetings, everyone . . .
for ages now i've seen the little icon on my toolbar that informs me there
are updates to ge gotten and have promptly gotten them. but now, since the
upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, i'm also getting annoying,
microsoft-like popups having to do with "system problem" and such. they
inquire as to whether i want to report it and i say okay, sure, and click
on the box, whereupon a web browser opens and tells me there's no site at
the link specified.
i'd like to be rid of the whole thing. i'm perfectly happy with the adept
updater (even though i open a terminal for the update/upgrade).
now today i see that among the updates is something called ubuntu advantage
tools. i do not know what this is, but it also strikes me as something i
do not want.
so, then, my questions are: how do i get rid of the new pop-up upgrade
nonsense? and is it safe to remove "ubuntu advantage tools"? (it seems
like one of those things that should i do a purge would remove other
things that i don't want rid of.)
thanks for any advice you may have.

The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar:
the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson,
available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
Hello all,
I undestand the question may look strange, so here are a few explanations.
I have a laptop (Thinkpad X220 Tablett) that I use at work.
As you guess for "normal" work I use TDE, but unfortunately I found out that I
can't use the touchscreen well with TDE. If I rotate the screen I can't
calibrate it correctly (the pointer coordinates don't get rotated at all, so
pointing up right shows the pointer left down...).
A recent install of openSuSE Leap 42.3 let me discover that Gnome 3 (Gnome
Shell 3.20.2) has a Wacom calibration tool that solves this issue perfectly.
I've even managed to run konqueror as file browser from Gnome's Dash, but I
still prefer TDE.
So my present solution is to run TDE and TDM, and to logout/login in Gnome
Shell when I need the Wacom Tablett.
There remains a (small) annoyance: I've set up three links on my Desktop (to a
local directory and two NFS shares) and they appear as useless files on the
Gnome Desktop.
Obviously, both TDE and Gnome use ~/Desktop as desktop folder. There does not
seem to be any way to tell Gnome to do otherwise (there is little way to tell
Gnome anything, seems), so I wondered if maybe Trinity can bw told to use
another directory as Desktop directory?

It doesn't matter what Konqueror view profile you are using. I'm not
aware of any setup where tabbed browsing is not an option. To add
links to the side panel, right click tab bar > add new folder > folder
then right click the new folder to set Name, URL and Icon.
If you have a functional link on the desktop, that link can be located
in any other place that a link to Application or URL is allowed. I
don't have any nfs:// links, but my sftp:// links work fine.
I hit reply in instead of reply to list by accident... Forwarding.

One line history lesson: Mageia was founded by the Mandriva (formerly
Mandrake) people who were booted out after the company was taken over by
a Russian investor.
Yes, it was working on Magiea 5 and every previous version. Trinity
works with Mageia 6 on my laptop, but not my desktop PC, so the basic
disto integration is OK, except for the missing symlink (easily
solved...). The packages were installed using the official Trinity
repository for Mageia, described here:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Mageia_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst…
This contains R14.0.4.
I unofficially maintained the Trinity Mandriva packages for a while back
in the "early days", but then official packages were put out (which were
better than mine), so I stopped.
I'm hoping that somebody here can guide me so that I can get a proper
crash message out of the startup procedure which might give me a clue as
to why this is failing, I've never previously had a case where Trinity
crashed one system, but another. There may still be some stray library
somewhere that hasn't upgraded, it might be my NFS set up, or it might
be in some way hardware dependent. I just can't tell because the
backtrace only stays on screen for about a second.
I've got a media centre system which is also on Mageia 6, but I never
bothered to install Trinity on there, so I might give it a go as a next
step to see if it works or not in lieu of suggestions here.

I have just installed TDE-Trinity in my Stretch box. On boot startx
opens x-server-x-org in F7, but the login manager does not appear.
/opt/trinity/bin is in the PATH in /etc/profiles, and tdm-trinity is
installed, but still no login manager.
Surely something else must be necessary to cause the login to appear. I
looked for guidance in the TDE instructions, but they are anything but
clear. Can somebody help me out?

greetings, everyone . . .
among the applications that i absolutely need are the GIMP and the gthumb
image viewer. since upgrading to 14.04 (both ubuntu and trinity), i've
noticed that gthumb is working very slowly indeed, consuming vast amounts
of processor. so i started it from a command line and it is throwing many
errors, from which i find no hint as to the way to repair:
dep@dep-desktop:~$ gthumb

i suspect that the solution is as simple as installing a package, but i

any one here see what i'm missing?

The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar:
the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson,
available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
There's no official trinity on
launchpad and github ppa/sources?
I think it would be a very good idea for the
project to be there, just for the extra
exposure. A lot of developers are already
there. They can stumble on trinity just by
searching something else. Or users stumbling
on it. It seams good little advertisement
for the project...
Hi
I am using a Thinkpad X200s with a Intel Graphic card which supports
dual screens. I have installed first Kubuntu 14.04 and then trinity on
top of that (I know this approach is not recommended. It would have been
better to use the trinity Live CD, but I don't want to reinstall
everything).
Now I found out about dspdfviewer which allows (for beamer latex
generated pdf) to show the transparencies in two screens.
I tried that out with my laptop being connected to a external LCD
screen, however my laptop screen only was cloned and the dspdfviewer
developers told me to try out extended desktop mode.
I looked up a bit the trinity kontrol center but could not find anything
relevant.
So a pointer would be very well come. I would not mind a link to a
command tool such as xrand (which was recommended to me as well).
Thanks
Uwe Brauer
