multiple monitors
by Gene Kodadek 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Can somebody give me a guide to getting a multi-monitor setup working using the native tools? I'm on Debian Jessie if that makes a difference. I had it working on a PCLInux OS install but can't remember how I did it.

digikam crash
by Istvan Gabor 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hello: Digikam crashes when in image editor I right click the images or try to select area. This occurs in openSUSE 13.2 Trinty TDE R14.0.4 64 bit. Digikam is trinity-digikam-0.9.6-14.0.4_1.oss132.x86_64. It does not occur with all images, only if the resolutions or file size is over a limit, though I don't know the limit. It occurs with jpg file 3264x2448 resolution ~1.8 MB, but it doesn't occur if I downsize this image to 1500x1125 ~500 KB. Does anyone have this problem? Could it be fixed? Thanks, Istvan

I am new to HDMI (I actually don't use it anwhere as I have no monitor with such a connector). So I can't test what would happen if I had a direct connection to the monitor. I could imagine that the chain HDMI - HDMI to VGA (cheap chinese thing, by the way) - KVM switch - monitor is too much for a system that desperately tries to identify the monitor by itself. In the old time I would have been asked what my screen was... Thierry

I had never noticed (nor needed) that setting, now I know where to look. Thierry

Application resolution vs desktop resolution
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Actually I don't think this is a Trinity problem, because reverting to lightdm shows no change, but I post this in hope someone can give me a clue: I have setup a machine based on an Intel based SBC (UP board with a "cherry trail" processor. It runs openSUSE Leap and Trinity. I initially had lots of screen corruption but this I solved by setting the graphics to "xua". My problem is this: while I have the screen resolution setup to 1920x1080 (and trinity desktop looks OK for this resolution), the monitor (which is accessed from HDMI through an HDMI to VGA converter because I use a KVM that needs VGA connectors) was initially "seen" as 1024x768. And the applications seem to retain that resolution. I could make things better in kmail (which is the main application for this machine) by reducing the font size. The other applications still look "too big". So I get the feeling that the lower resolution was saved somewhere... Is there a place where I can tell them to use 1920x768? Have good day, Thierry

kooldock
by Gene Kodadek 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

I just installed Trinity to my Debian Stable machine. Looks good, but I can't figure out how to enable the kooldock. Also, none of the old KDE 3.x wallpapers are available from the desktop settings menu; is that an extra package I need to install? Thanks!

Problems with tdm-trinity
by Rolf Schmidt 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi, I will setup a Lenovo T410i laptop which has a nvidia grafic card. The laptop should use additioaly second monitor when in the docking station and of course expand the gui across both screens. The (original) driver can't handle this - allways assumes both motiors are connected. So I installed the nouvea driver and get trouble with tdm. Tdm starts and I see the clock for a short time and then tdm terminates and a text only terminal login is shown. When login and call "startx", I get a working trinity session and the crash report manager is shown. So my question is "where can I look for error messages of tdm" or has some one else an idea or a solution for the problem? Many thanks in advance Rolf
