I assume the answer to be "no", but: Is there any way to get an onscreen keyboard at the TDE login screen? Actually this is the only "problem" left on this machine (Toshiba z20t): refind does not work, so it's impossible to choose the OS at boot and to login in tde without the keyboard. This is not really a problem because I only want the tablet in special situations, but the problem just nags. Have a nice day, Thierry

Latest on Linux on tablets with (please Lord) Trinity?
by dep 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Greets, folks . . . I once loved my iPad, but Apple has made me hate and despise it, with constant unwanted terrible updates that remove functionality and have reduced battery life from <12 hours to >3 hours. (IoS 11 sucks so badly that it pulls the branches off nearby trees.) I have had it with the iPad. But I have need of a tablet. It's been awhile since I heard anything involving Linux being put on a tablet; for a time I had a version of Linux running on an H-P Touchpad, which has long since died. The X support was semi-decent -- I had either OpenOffice.org or Libre Office running (very slowly) on it. That was probably six years ago. I kind of hope that some sort of Linux/X development has taken place, but haven't been able to learn much. Anybody know if there has been? And the important question: would it be possible to put TDE on it and if I did, would it work?

Is there a method to logout from a session from a script? Now at 23.00 my desktop does a tdm-trinity stop, followed by a shutdown, I would like to logout first an then stop trinity. -- Roel Wagenaar, telegram: 0629426511 Linux-User #469851 with the Linux Counter; http://linuxcounter.net/ Antw.: Omdat het de volgorde verstoord waarin mensen tekst lezen.

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

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? Thierry
