Locked user session
by Baron 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi Guys, PCLOS Trinity 14.0X For the past few days I have been getting a "Session locked by user" message with only user can unlock this session. I can enter my password and get in with everything working OK. If I reboot, hard reset, I don't get this message again when I login. I may not see this again for two or three days, and then its back. I don't normally leave the computer switched on so I might restart the computer twice a day. Anybody any clue as to why this has started to occur. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron

TDEInit problem in Wheezy and TDE 14.0.4
by Ken Heard 02 Feb '17

02 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Now that Firefox is directly available from a Wheezy repository I recently decided to replace Iceweasel with Firefox-esr. Once I had the latter up and running I deleted the former. When I next tried to open an html file from Dolphin I received the TDEInit failure message: "TDEInit could not launch 'Iceweasel'. Could not find 'Iceweasel' executable." I did an online search for information about TDEInit and found that others had problems with it, and the problems had to do with something called 'binutils' I think. My knowledge of information technology is unfortunately insufficient to allow me to understand the information I found. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to replace 'Iceweasel' with Firefox-esr so I can open html files in 'Firefox-esr" from Dolphin.

Re: [trinity-users] kmail can't send mail to my mail provider's SMTP server

I still get the "Unrecognized transport protocol. Unable to send message." message. Judging by the quickness of the message's appearance, I suspect that kmail is not getting to the point of attempting to connect to the server. It almost seems like there is some prerequisite package or service missing, but all of kmail's required libraries and packages are installed. I've attached the list of installed services that are NOT running in hopes that someone will spot something helpful.

kmail can't send mail to my mail provider's SMTP server
by Leslie Turriff 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Since migrating from my dying laptop to my new desktop machine, kmail refuses to send mail to my mail provider's servers, forcing me to use their webmail interface (yuk). I have tinkered with the kmail configuration to no avail, and I've even tried copying the old kmailrc file over the new; but nothing works. Currently, when I attempt to upload mail, I see this message in the status area: "Unrecognized transport protocol. Unable to send message." During my struggles, I also saw, in a separate window, the attached security failure message. I have also attached snapshots of my SMTP configuration, and this link points to setup instructions for my mail provider's SMTP server: http://email.about.com/od/Accessing-Mail-com/f/Mail-com-SMTP-Server-Setting… Neither of these messages gives me enough detail about the problem to know how to proceed. I suspect something is corrupted in the kmail config, but deleting and replacing the Sending entry hasn't helped, nor has replacing the entire file with the working one from the old machine. mail.com has suggested that I change from using pop3 to imap (like that would help), and > Please be advised to correct your server setting by using the information below: > > For IMAP Server: > > Incoming: > [snip] > Outgoing: > Server: smtp.mail.com > Port: 587 > Encryption: STARTTLS > > If "STARTTLS" is not available, please use the protocol "TLS". If this option is also not available simply activate "Encryption". which has not helped. Using kmail's "Check what the server supports" sets TLS and PLAIN. I'm guessing that TLS = STARTTLS, and SSH = Encryption. The config on my old system has SSH and PLAIN set. Neither of these works on my new system. Any suggestions are welcome.

Felix, Thanks for your help with this. I followed your suggestions for reinstalling, and (after a struggle to get Network-Manager working) it's working better.

It is a new installation of OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 on a bare system. I first installed a minimal image, then installed X, then Trinity. I did it that way because I had considerable trouble on my old Leap 42.1 system getting rid of all of the KDE4 and KDE Plasma5 junk that always triy to take over my window-manager and display-manager. > > Maybe there is some other needed QT package missing.

Trinity can't see gtk-qt-engine
by Leslie Turriff 15 Jan '17

15 Jan '17

I'm running Trinity R14.0.4 on OpenSuSE Leap 42.2. Trinity Control Center reports that gtk-qt-engine is not installed, but YaST reports that it is. (See attachments.) This impairs use of some GTK-based applications. I'm not sure how to diagnose this further.

serious mount problem
by Istvan Gabor 14 Jan '17

14 Jan '17

Hello: I have Trinity R14.0.4 on openSUSE Leap 42.2. The desktop has a "My Computer" icon which is a shortcut to media:/. It opens a window that shows a lot of (all?) hard disk volumes/partitions. The problem: Normal user can mount any of these partititions. This is a SERIOUS security flaw. Normal user should not be able to mount internal disk partitions unless the partition is explicitely set so in /etc/fstab using "user" or "users" options. This behavior can lead to unintentional disruption of raid arrays and enable normal users to modify other users' files in other OSs on other partitions. It is also very strange that a user running mount command can not mount those partitions while the desktop system makes it possible. How can this behavior be changed so that normal could not mount other partitions? I would like to report this as a bug, how can I? Thanks, Istvan
