No launchpad/github ?
by wofgdkncxojef 03 Aug '17

There's no official trinity on launchpad and github ppa/sources? I think it would be a very good idea for the project to be there, just for the extra exposure. A lot of developers are already there. They can stumble on trinity just by searching something else. Or users stumbling on it. It seams good little advertisement for the project...

Thinkpad 200s, dual screens, setup
by Uwe Brauer 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi I am using a Thinkpad X200s with a Intel Graphic card which supports dual screens. I have installed first Kubuntu 14.04 and then trinity on top of that (I know this approach is not recommended. It would have been better to use the trinity Live CD, but I don't want to reinstall everything). Now I found out about dspdfviewer which allows (for beamer latex generated pdf) to show the transparencies in two screens. I tried that out with my laptop being connected to a external LCD screen, however my laptop screen only was cloned and the dspdfviewer developers told me to try out extended desktop mode. I looked up a bit the trinity kontrol center but could not find anything relevant. So a pointer would be very well come. I would not mind a link to a command tool such as xrand (which was recommended to me as well). Thanks Uwe Brauer

GPG keys
by ant 03 Aug '17

According to: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds I should do : apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 In order to get the Debian Stretch version installed. But the message I get when trying this is: Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.NclvApGG4K/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available Any suggestions? cheers anthony -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 9, desktop Trinity R14 This email is plain text, not HTML.

UEFI to CSM
by Felmon Davis 02 Aug '17

greets! this Asus is set up in UEFI. I'm considering installing Windows 7 and get the impression it needs CSM (or 'Legacy'). if I change the setting to CSM, will that incur loss of data? f. -- Felmon Davis All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected, so there's still hope.

upgraded, but TDE video issue
by dep 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful system upgrade in the (heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter. But now I'm encountering a problem that is annoying: menus in Firefox and some other applications are reversed, white text on black background. Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and preparing to revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .). Thanks again. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

color issue solved
by dep 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

well. in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts it's possible to employ different themes for GTK2 and GTK3 applications, and this fixes the menu color problem. What I haven't been able to fix is the tiny fonts problem in TDE applications. Additionally, my cursor, in all its variants, has become *huge.* Very strange indeed. And it came about from first unchecking and then rechecking Appearance & Themes > Colors > Apply colors to non-TDE applications. How can this be? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

trying to avoid rebuilding whole system
by dep 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

greetings . . . i've about concluded that i absolutely must upgrade my linux/tde install. i'm currently running 14.04 atop ubuntu 1204-LTS, which is at its end. hypothetically i should be able to do use ubuntu's system upgrade tool and all would be well in moving me from 1204 to 1404; i would not have to reinstall everything from scratch. but no. it throws this error: [quote] Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu [/quote] looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade, i find this error: [quote ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.' [/quote] for some reason i must have added it to that blacklist, but truth be known i do not remember having done so or even the existence of such a blacklist, never mind how to add or delete something to or from it. so, am wondering if there is a way around this that wouldn't (as it appears would happen here anyway) nuke my TDE install. am i missing something obvious? do i want to d/l and install a TDE image and, if so, can i do an upgrade (rather than wipe and reinstall) from that? thanks in advance -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
