MuseScore2.1 AppImage with Trinity r14.
by Brian Durant 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, I am trying to get my go to program for writing music, MuseScore to work with the Trinity desktop. I am aware that Trinity uses aRts for sound and I would prefer to keep the default. When starting MuseScore with aRts, the MIDI score playback is greyed out. I have been told that apulse is a possible alternative to PulseAudio, but I have yet to find anyone that has gotten MuseScore to work with aRts or apulse. The alternative is of course to install PulseAudio, but I am trying to keep Trinity as vanilla as possible, to avoid problems down the line. Does anyone on the list use MuseScore with aRts or apulse, and how did you get it to work? I am new to Trinity as I never used KDE 3.5 when it was available, but I am loving it now. I have Trinity installed on top of a Devuan (no systemd) Jessie minimal cli install. Thanks. Brian

Can't install TDE from openSUSE repos
by J. Drahun 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hello all! I can't install TDE from repositories listed on the page https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSE_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… Zypper says me trinity and trinity-noarch repositories don't exist at those URLs. If so, where can I get actual repositories for openSUSE Leap 42.3? Best wishes, J. Drahun

reading notifications?
by Thierry de Coulon 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hello all, I connect to my school's vpn with openconnect (which requires root), then connect to the shares from konqueror (smb://...), which does not. I've tried to automate this a little with a bash script. It first runs tdesu <openconnect_script>, then konqueror smb://... My problem is that I need to run: tdesu <openconnect_script> & Then, I need to wait for that script to succeed before connecting to the shares. I can't use wait{!} because the script does not terminate. My current solution is sleep, which globaly works. I've noticed that if I connect from a konsole I get a notification (new network tun0 found). I wondered if I could read some event linked to that notification to start the konqueror connect script. Any idea? Thierry

anyone here use PureOS?
by dep 24 Jan '18

Greets, Gang . . . As I prepare for arrival of the Gemini, and while waiting have heard most or all of the rumors, I've been looking for operating system alternatives. It is supposed to arrive with Android and Debian Stretch in a dual-boot configuration. We do not know what the bootloader will be, but there's reason to suspect that it'll be some Android thing. Android is, of course, little more than a spyware platform on which applications can be run. (And in its way IOS is even worse.) My only concern with Stretch is that best I can tell it doesn't really much support telephony. It was pointed out that Purism (https://puri.sm) is at work on a Linux phone that it is hoped will be secure. They already have a Debian-based distribution with, of course, source code. (https://pureos.net/) So I'm thinking that it might soon be possible to blow the Android stuff and anything else remotely Gappish off the Gemini and replace it with the PureOS OS. Which leads to two questions: Does anyone here have any experience with PureOS? Does PureOS play nicely with TDM? This thing seems very promising -- I just don't know if the promise is kept. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

ubuntu 16.04, shutdown from tde menu does not work
by Uwe Brauer 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi After I installed successfully trinity on Ubuntu 16.04, I tried to shutdown the machine using Control Alt delete: the trinity menus pops up, as usual, but then when I chose shutdown, the system only logs me out. Any idea how to solve this? Uwe Brauer

Hint: Best way to install TDE on old platforms
by John Logsdon 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Folks Starting with the standard desktop flavour of 16.04, I always managed to get in a tangle on my old Dell Precision 390 when trying to add Trinity. It has an old Quadro NVS 285 video card that works nicely once Trinity is installed but makes a mess of the default desktop with my dual 1280x1920 screens. I had to blacklist nouveau and install the Nvidea driver, which is far more than necessary, the latest version won't work anyway, and a real pain in the derriere. I suspect people will have similar problems trying many current versions of Linux with a lot of old kit which is otherwise perfectly adequate and functional. So just install (Ubuntu 16.04) SERVER (ie no X), upgrade all packages, add the Trinity repositories then install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity and kubuntu-desktop-trinity. Nothing else - it pulls in all the packages required, all 500 odd of them. No messing with a fuzzy purple screen, you see all the console startup meesages and then it loads TDE on F7 and of course you can get a command line login in Ctl-Alt-F1 etc. Very nice and clean. Who wants any other desktop? And why ask for a bundled Trinity Linux which makes unnecessary extra work? Perhaps such a hint could be added to the installation guides...

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? 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
