Laptop Brightness Keys
by Darrell Anderson 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

On my Thinkpad T580 laptop, the Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 shortcut keys manually control screen brightness. These shortcuts function as expected with KDE and Xfce but not TDE. No special configuration is needed. I find nothing that helps in kcontrol or tdepowersave. I found a thread in this list discussing the issue but with no simple solution. What is needed to have TDE support these shortcuts to "just work" like with KDE and Xfce? Thanks.

Hi I am on Ubuntu 24.04 and run a couple of days ago sudo apt-get upgrade Which most likely installed the new 14.1.3 After rebooting the netapplet (the icon on my right lower corner, which indicates me all available WIFI connections and allow me to connect) Does not show up So as a kluge I use now the gnome nm-applet, but I would prefer to continue using trinity's What can I do? Is this a bug? Regards Uwe Brauer

Cannot start TDE after upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04.
by John Logsdon 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

An upgrade from 20.04 via 22.04 to 24.04 (necessary for other reasons) went quite smoothly and I then followed the TDE upgrade instructions. Before I always started TDE from the command line which was OK. Now I cannot find starttde anywhere so startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde doesn't work. xorg etc is installed. apt search starttde returns ksmserver-trinity/now 4:14.1.3-0ubuntu20.04+0 amd64 [residual-config] Why 20.04? It seems that there is a lot of old stuff around. apt install reports that package is not available and then refers to a new package of the same name but which has no installation candidte. I've tried removing all instances of tde following the instructions but updatedb followed by locate still shows them and /etc/trinity, /opt/trinity etc are still there. Any clue how to fix this? I really don't like any of the default window managers so it needs to be fixed!! -- John Logsdon Quantex Research Ltd m:+447717758675/h:+441614454951

Do you have anything in /opt/trinity/share/dconf/profile/user
by Jim 20 Nov '24

20 Nov '24

Hi, I have TDE 14.1.1 installed on Slackware64 15.0. Firefox keeps spitting out error messages like this: Unable to open /opt/trinity/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied: 'glib warning', file /tmp/firefox-128.4.0/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1410879 seems to indicate that firefox is looking in /opt/trinity/share/... because /opt/trinity/share is in the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. In my Slackware version of TDE, there is no directory /opt/trinity/share/dconf at all, which (partially) explains why firefox is whining. But it got me wondering... can someone (or multiple people) who use another distro let me know if you have anything in /opt/trinity/share/dconf, and, if so, would you mind sending me a listing of what files are in there? Thanks. Jim

Darkness :) Remaster of devuan testing + TDE + dark theme for AMD64
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 20 Nov '24

20 Nov '24

Hi all! I just uploaded my last devuan testing + TDE 14.2 remaster - this time with a dark theme (including kate) - and it finally got a name (darkness). I would be interested if you run into issues with it. Thread on devuan: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6850 ISO: https://samhain.at/devuan_tde/darkness-20240918.iso SHA256: https://samhain.at/devuan_tde/darkness-20240918.iso.sh256 SHA256: 97c6c6fbf3d49bfc9b9231f586a1143da8761cfe9657dcb72676793c3b693856 Background is done by myself, so if anybody wants to include it in TDE (or highres versions of my deviantart.com/zwieblum gallery) just drop me a note. Enjoy :) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Trying to install TDE on a (relatively) old Debian (9.13)
by Thierry de Coulon 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Hallo all. I'm re-setting up an old machine (a core 2 quad from 15 xears ago) and wanted to use a somewhat older distribution. I decided for Stretch and managed to find the online repos for older Debians. I then wantes to install trinity (from the website it seems 14.1.1 should be available, I also tried 14.0.0). I followed the instructions for repositories, however when I run install tde-trinity, I get dependency hell Several packages have unmet dependencies, for example Depends : tde-core-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed Another weirdness is that aptitude has no installation candidate. I suppose apt or apt-get can be used instead. An idea? Thierry

XF86Mail opens the email client if and only if it is mapped to an "Input Action"
by Davide Baldini 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

If a keyboard shortcut is defined for an "Input Action" (Trinity Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Input Actions) and the triggering key is XF86Mail, then pressing the XF86Mail button opens the email client regardless of what action is assigned to it. If the action is deleted or assigned to a different shortcut, the mail program does not open when pressing XF86Mail. This started happening a few days ago after an apt-get upgrade on Debian. # dpkg -s tde-trinity Version: 4:14.1.3-0debian12.0.0+0 -- Davide

Install failing on AlmaLinux 9.4
by Ross Merrifield 14 Nov '24

Trinity mailing list, I am trying to install Trinity Desktop on a laptop running AlmaLinux 9.4. I installed to trinity-repo package, but I am getting an error message when I try to actually install Trinity. Here is the error that DNF returns: [ross@fuji ~]$ sudo dnf install trinity-desktop Last metadata expiration check: 1:07:51 ago on Thu 14 Nov 2024 08:58:00 AM PST. Error: Problem: package trinity-desktop-14.1.3-1.el9.noarch from trinity-r14-noarch requires trinity-tdeaddons >= 14.1.3, but none of the providers can be installed - package trinity-tdeaddons-14.1.3-1.el9.x86_64 from trinity-r14 requires trinity-noatun-plugins = 14.1.3-1.el9, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides libdb_cxx-5.3.so()(64bit) needed by trinity-noatun-plugins-14.1.3-1.el9.x86_64 from trinity-r14 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Some details about my system: [ross@fuji ~]$ uname -a Linux fuji 5.14.0-427.42.1.el9_4.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Nov 1 14:58:02 EDT 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [ross@fuji ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i trinity trinity-repo-14.1.3-1.el9.noarch I've never had any issues installing the trinity-desktop package before, but I usually run on Fedora not Alma. Anyone have any tips for getting Trinity installed on Alma (or any other Red Hat clone)? Thanks, Ross
