Re: TDE Fundraiser

I installed Trinity as an experiment 2 weeks ago, when I came across your website while looking for an old application, and it's so nice, I'm doing all my work in Trinity now. I loved KDE 3.5, and I was sad when I had to leave it six years ago, to upgrade to Debian 6 and KDE 4. After upgrading from Debian 6 to Debian 8 a few weeks ago, two old favourites, Kasablanca and KHexEdit, were no longer available, and I could not even find the source code for KHexEdit, until I remembered reading about Trinity some years ago, and found your website. I think it's wonderful that you're maintaining the KDE 3.5 look and feel, functionality, and applications. I have donated 30 dollars to Trinity via your donations page. I'm sorry it can't be more at the moment, money is a bit tight. Konqueror has improved since KDE 3.5, but I can run Konqueror-KDE4 in Trinity from a menu item with the command /usr/bin/konqueror, and thus get the best of both worlds. Some other KDE applications have sadly deteriorated in the later versions of KDE4. In particular, KolourPaint in Debian 8 has been damaged by a very bad revision, so I am using KolourPaint-Trinity now. It is far better. When I installed Debian 8, I was offered a list of 7 desktop environments to install. I would certainly have tried Trinity at that time, if it had been on the list. If Konqueror-Trinity and Konsole-Trinity need to be given new names in order to get Trinity into the Debian distribution, (to avoid a clash of names with KDE), perhaps I could suggest Clarity for Konqueror-Trinity and Simplicity for Konsole-Trinity, since these names rhyme with Trinity, and suggest some of the defining characteristics of TDE. Yours sincerely, Chris Austin

frequent hangups
by Istvan Gabor 26 May '17

26 May '17

Hello: My TDE session frequently hangs. A message window opens at the bottom right corner of the screen saying: "New display output options are available! A screen has been added, removed, or changed." After this the screen inputs (mouse and keyboard) become unresponsive. Running programs keep running. I have to hard reset the computer. This is becoming annoying. I have openSUE 13.2 with TDE R14.0.4. Any idea what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks, Istvan

Fresh boot today => no clicking. Also the intervals are 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.5 seconds. And, yep, I've ordered another hard drive. Philip Ashmore

Trinity and multiple screens (in X sense)
by Nick Koretsky 13 May '17

13 May '17

Hi! I decided to connect my TV as second monitor and am trying different configurations. First i tried a "normal" xrandr approach and didnt liked the result - no negative coordinates (0x0 is always a left most screen - so i would have to learn to switch to left screen by moving mouse to the right if i want my TV located physically to the left act as an secondary monitor) and virtual desktops switching on both monitors (afaik trinity have no support for separate virtual desktops in different monitors? i hope i am wrong but doesnt looks so :( ). So i wanted to try a multiple screens (in X sense) approach but hit a roadblock. As soon as i add Screen 1 "Philips" LeftOf "ZR24w" line to my xorg.conf and do tdm-trinity restart i am greeted with "this computer is locked enter password to unlock" on a TV and there is no escape from it other than killing X. Entering password just make it blink for a second and return back. Can this be somehow avoided or trinity is incapable of working on multiple screens? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)

TDE on Devuan
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 13 May '17

13 May '17

Hi All! golinux asked me to forward this message to the TDE mailing list :-) Nik To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: TDE on Devuan Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 13:37:29 -0500 From: golinux(a)dyne.org Greetings from the Devuan project! Several Devuan users have chosen TDE as their DE. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp has even customized the 'Plastic' theme to match the default Devuan desktop! Devuan Stable will be released soon and then we will turn our attention to Ascii (Stretch). If TDE is compatible with Ascii (not entangled with systemd) we are hoping to get it packaged so users will be able to install TDE directly from our repos. Thanks for providing a viable alternative! Cheers! golinux -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
