Apparently in ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu If that is where those files are, running $ ls -lh ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu/ will let you know if there is a permissions issue. They should be owned by you and have 644 permissions.

Porting individual trinity programs to Android
by Philip Ashmore 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi there. I've got a really great Amarok playlist of songs that I find help me concentrate. I've looked for a means of playing such a playlist on Android without success. If anyone has succeeded in porting a TDE program to Android it would maybe bring this dream a little closer. Please tell me I'm not the only one with such a dream :) Regards, Philip Ashmore

OAuth in KMail?
by dep 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

greetings, everybody . . . this morning i received a fairly alarming note from my ISP, who apparently farms out its mail handling to yahoo (and yahoo seems to have belatedly gotten interested in security). the note specified that i am not using a sufficiently secure mail client (KMail in TDE) and that in a few weeks OAuth will be required. an admittedly brief search has not produced information as to whether this is something that can be enabled in KMail in TDE or, if so, how to enable it. is this something that has come up before? if so, how was it resolved? and if it hasn't, any solutions? thanks very much. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Trinity SSL Certificate Status
by Timothy Pearson 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 I just wanted to let you know that the new TDE site SSL certificates have been installed. They are valid until 2020 so we should be good to go for quite some time. QuickBuild is handled somewhat outside of the TDE project itself, but should also be updated in the next month or so. Thank you all again for helping resolve this issue so quickly! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAliniqMACgkQLaxZSoRZrGHZzwDeMOYKZ/iiC6ZaMaIVXwsXOo0L pprznl0vuy/M4QDgtInLknauKmFtWc3Gmg8/0SQryDP5f/X/75cYOw== =yNSu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'd suggest a little more research while paying attention to the originating source material (CA's who are losing money). At least one of the FUD sources in your link has been responded to: https://unmitigatedrisk.com/?p=552.

I'll order the replacement certificates shortly, which should reactivate TDE under all major browsers. Thank you all very much for stepping up and helping fix this, I greatly appreciate it!

Trinity SSL Certificates
by Timothy Pearson 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 As some of you may already be aware, StartCom (a major provider of SSL certificates) has repeatedly and intentionally violated the basic rules to be listed as a root CA in most browsers [1] [2]. Unfortunately, TDE used StartCom as its root CA provider in an attempt to lower overall costs; as a result, the main TDE pages, QuickBuild, and other related services will no longer be accessible to the majority of Web clients. We do not have the funds to replace the certificate with a costlier option at this time. LetsEncrypt does not appear to be secure enough as it effectively requires automated certificate installation on the master servers, and furthermore I expect it to be removed from as a fully trusted root CA or at least demoted in some way in the future [3]. Due to the industry-standard security in use, we cannot simply disable HTTPS without disabling access to all TDE sites previously using HTTPS. Furthermore, disabling HTTPS would open TDE users adn visitors to malicious MITM attack, and I am not willing to do this. Our only options come down to either accepting the heavy loss in visitors / traffic that will come from using a self-signed certificate, or attempting to raise the funds required to purchase a new certificate. It should only cost around $200 to obtain a new multi-year certificate covering TDE, so if you can please contribute something toward this goal via our donations page [4]. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience; it is not common for a CA to be delisted and the impact from this has been felt across many sites. Unfortunately, it will only continue to worsen as Chrome (with its 75% market share) is updated by end users over the next few days / weeks. Thank you!

TDE NetworkManager frontend not working. Got "unable to perform requested operation". ConsoleKit (rly needed?) and PolicyKit are installed.
by Richard Lamboj 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hello, i can not use the tde network-manager frontend. A Message-Box pops up and says: Unable to save network connection! Potential causes: * Insufficient permissions * NetworkManager not running * DBUS failure Beside that i think the Assistent should not be closed. Both - ConsoleKit and PolicyKit - are installed. And i'm using OpenRC, not systemd on Debian Jessie, with backports enabled. Kind Regards, Richard

r14-xdg-update
by Leslie Turriff 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Last week when I started my newest machine (x86_64 intel, OpenSuSE Leap 42.2), when logging in I got a notification box that said, The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least once. The script is not successfully updating. The script will run with each login until corrected. Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action to correct the problem. The error code is 9. When I continued on, all of my Trinity desktop settings were gone. Rebooting does not help, nor did reinstalling the OS and Trinity. I have no idea what "appropriate administrative action" might be, nor what error code 9 means. Help! Leslie
