Slax with Trinity
by Slávek Banko 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Hello to everybody, before the release R14.0.5 will be completed, I have one small gift for you. Some of you may have known and used live distribution Slax. You might be interested in a new version of Slax combined with Trinity: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Slax_with_Trinity Cheers -- Slávek

by Uwe Brauer 18 Jan '18

Hi Some weeks ago I successfully installed R14.04 on Ubuntu 16.06. Now I tried it on different machine. I followed https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall and I added deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu xenial main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu xenial main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/ubun… xenial main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/ubun… xenial main sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys F5CFC95C Then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity I was asked to confirm the installation, but then I received an abort! Never happened before. Then I tried Sudo aptitude install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity Then I obtain The following packages have unmet dependencies: libsmbclient : Depends: samba-libs (= 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.9) but 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.12 is to be installed. open: 29; closed: 151; defer: 4; conflict: 4 .The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) gvfs-backends 2) libsmbclient Keep the following packages at their current version: 3) amarok-engine-xine-trinity [Not Installed] 4) amarok-trinity [Not Installed] 5) kaffeine-trinity [Not Installed] 6) kmail-trinity [Not Installed] 7) kmailcvt-trinity [Not Installed] 8) kmplayer-base-trinity [Not Installed] 9) kmplayer-konq-plugins-trinity [Not Installed] 10) konq-plugins-trinity [Not Installed] 11) konqueror-nsplugins-trinity [Not Installed] 12) konqueror-trinity [Not Installed] 13) kontact-trinity [Not Installed] 14) kubuntu-desktop-trinity [Not Installed] 15) libxine2 [Not Installed] 16) libxine2-misc-plugins [Not Installed] 17) libxine2-plugins [Not Installed] 18) smbclient [Not Installed] 19) tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity [Not Installed] Leave the following dependencies unresolved: 20) gnome-bluetooth recommends gvfs-backends 21) rhythmbox recommends gvfs-backends 22) nautilus recommends gvfs-backends 23) digikam-trinity recommends konqueror-trinity 24) amarok-common-trinity recommends amarok-trinity (>= 4:14.0.4-0ubuntu16.04.0+0) 25) kubuntu-desktop-trinity recommends kaffeine-trinity 26) kubuntu-desktop-trinity recommends kmailcvt-trinity 27) kubuntu-desktop-trinity recommends kmail-trinity 28) kubuntu-desktop-trinity recommends kmplayer-konq-plugins-trinity 29) kubuntu-desktop-trinity recommends kontact-trinity 30) ktorrent-trinity recommends tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity 31) kipi-plugins-trinity recommends kmail-trinity 32) kipi-plugins-trinity recommends konqueror-trinity Is it save to continue?

TQT3 Error
by Oleg Levenets 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hi, is anyone using Trinity for Slackware? On my Slackware 14.2, kdesktop is not always loaded, the error seems to be related to tqt3 and the use of utf-8 encoding in the system. This happens when using the smp-kernel, there is no error on the usual kernel. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and I do not know what can be done. I attached a log, maybe it will help to understand what might be the matter. https://paste.ee/p/mjK6J best regards, Oleg Levenets.

the linux phone gadget thing
by dep 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

well, it seems as if this thing is actually going to ship. there's a $200 discount still on indiegogo, but i don't know for how long. here it is at CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLawxkYyug&feature=youtu.be it'll ship with debian stretch and xfce, which i plan to replace with tde. the only "pointing device" it has is the touch screen, which means that i'll need to maximize the amount of stuff i can do with the keyboard. i vaguely remember, but never have used, a kde accessibility package that effectively used the arrow keys to replace the mouse. and because of the screen size, i especially want kicker to disappear when it's not in actual use, i'd like to be able to show/hide it with a key combination or some such. anybody know if this is something i could assign in the current TDE? or that maybe already exists? thanks! -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Can set DM to TDM
by Thierry de Coulon 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello all, Debian 9 here. Today I updated things (I used synaptic - Mark all upgrades. That was perhaps an error). Many things got updated, included Trinity stuff. The problem is it also reverted the DM to gdm3. I changed it to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, but the result is that the system does not start, with Failed to start Gnome Display Manager See 'systemctl status gdm.service' for details Is there a way to get TDM back?

about to bite off more than i can chew
by dep 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

so it seems likely that sometime in the next month the planet computers gemini will ship, dual booting android and debian stretch and, apparently, allowing linux apps to run under android (though we do not yet know whether the inverse is true, which would be useful for, say, telephone stuff). and amid my excitement i realize that there's a huge amount i don't know re. running linux applications on ARM machines. i've been spoiled by the ability on x86 machines to be able to add a repository to sources.lst and everything just works. my guess is that i'll not be able simply to add the trinity debian repository on this gadget and simply do an apt-get to make it all work. so, then, for those experienced in different architectures: is it likely i could simply recompile TDE on the machine itself and therefore get working binaries (presuming the availability of a compiler for the gadget), or is there more -- much, much more, probably -- that i'll need to do? the whole purpose of the exercise is to have TDE running usefully on a pocket-sized device, and i realize now that i don't even know if binaries would have to be specific to a particular device or just what. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

linux phone, ultra portable, the universe, and everything!
by dep 28 Dec '17

merry christmas, everybody! did you see the piece in the register today (or maybe yesterday, or saturday) about the new psion or psion-ish device that is a tiny postable computer with keyboard, phone, and so on, that dual boots android *and linux*? this may be the gadget we've been waiting for. the question, of course, is whether it will run trinity. looking at the specs -- 4 gigs of memory and 64 gigs of storage -- i see no reason why it wouldn't. the video is 2160x1080, which ought to work. (it apparently ships with xfce.) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/22/gemini_special/ i do wish it had a better pointing system -- it has a touchscreen, but i'd prefer a pointing stick ala the good thinkpads or the toshiba librettos. my sense is that this is the device many of us have been waiting for. i'm not rolling in money by any means, but i'm very close to making the leap to pre-order of the wifi-4G version. i'm weary of my little ipad and my blackberry, though still functioning, is, well, a blackberry and whatever rim calls itself nowadays doesn't do proper blackberrys anymore, so this seems just right. going crazy here imagining being on a story, shhoting the pictures, putting the card in a SD adapter via usb, opening the GIMP and adjusting color and saturation, and shipping the pictures to the paper, just like that. a phone and tiny laptop device for grownups! -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
