I'm pretty sure I had this problem before with an older version of Ubuntu and TDE, but I don't recall how it was fixed. Starting with a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04, I installed TDE according to the instructions at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall#For_Vivid_.28Ubuntu_15.04.29 During the install of TDE, it asks me to choose between lightdm and tdm-trinity. I chose tdm-trinity. It gives an error: WARNING: /lib/systemd/system/tdm.service is the selected default display manger but does not exist initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused insserv: warning: script 'tdm-trinity' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming empty start runlevel(s) for script 'tdm-trinity' insserv: Default-Stop undefined, assuming empty stop runlevel(s) for script 'tdm-trinity' Rebooting brings me to a command prompt instead of the GUI. If I log in and do startx it brings up some kind of GUI with no icons or panel. The only way to get out of it seems to be to power off the machine. Also tried dpkg-reconfigure lightdm which failed with the same error when I chose tdm-trinity. If I select lightdm things seem to work once I figured out how to tell lightdm to start TDE instead of ubuntu. Thanks in advance.

[TDE-on-NixOS] Cmake will be the default in TDE, in a near future?

by Anderson Torres

Hello, TDE hackers! I am now working on packaging TDE to NixOS Linux distribution. I will resume an earlier work I have made a long time ago, but for all purposes it will be a long and challenging "TDE from Scratch" task. As I read the wiki on building TDE from sources, I found there are a bit heterogeneous build system: some old apps use Autotools, and the new ones use Cmake. If the build system were homogeneous, it would be a bit easier (for me at least :P) to maintain the Nix expressions. So, I want to ask two things: 1 - There is some intent on wipe Autotools and adopt Cmake on all TDE tree? 2 - If yes to 1: how can I help on it? Thanks in Advance! Anderson Torres

Preliminary stable builds on the move

by Slávek Banko

Hi everyone, who is currently uses preliminary stable builds repository as you have surely noticed, the final R14.0.1 was released. Currently at this time packages in prelminary stable builds and official R14.0.1 are both based on an identical source packages. That was indeed the reason why here was no longer time any update in the preliminary stable builds repository. If you used the preliminary stable builds only temporarily, you can now switch to official packages. This is the best time because here are waiting updates to upload into prelinary stable builds. You have been warned ;) If you are using prelinary stable builds deliberately, you can look forward to that next week will launch the first upload of packages for the new target R14.0.2. Thank you for your attention :) -- Slávek

I am still stuck in a replacement loop of 2 files

by Gene Heskett

From the synaptic history screen: Commit Log for Thu Aug 27 04:44:56 2015 Upgraded the following packages: tdeadmin-trinity (4:14.0.1-0debian7.0.0+0) to 4:14.0.1-0debian7.0.0+0 tdegames-trinity (4:14.0.1-0debian7.0.0+0) to 4:14.0.1-0debian7.0.0+0 And if I simply hit the apply button, it will do it again and again. I nuked those two files in /var/cache/apt/archives by hand and it went away. Those were quite long filenames, and contained some odd characters. The dash is a legal char, but is the + sign? I don't know. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Bug of the action of copy with kmail-trinity

by andre_debian＠numericable.fr

Hello, There is a small bug with kmail-trinity, since a long time, versions 3.5 and 14.0. When I highlight a word or sentence and want to make a copy, (left button of the mouse), a menu appears, without the possibility of copy, but instead, suggestion of others words. This bug appears sometimes, not all the time... and when it does, kmail is blocked, I have to wait some seconds to retrieve kmail normally, and often, always without the possibility of copy. When I have to write ca mail in a hurry, it's really an inconvenience. Best regards to us. André

Possible temporary disruption when updating TDE

PPA not working?

by John P. Willis

As is very often the case, the PPA for TDE is not working. Though yesterday it would simply time out, today, I get "509 Maximum Instantaneous Bandwidth Exceeded". This would not be a problem, except that it holds back other needed updates on my system. What needs to be done to make this PPA work well, and how can I help?

[trinity-users] Ctrl-Alt-Del warning frozen instead of TDM greeter in 3.5.13.2-3

by Felix Miata

This is openSUSE 13.1. Is there something I can change in kdmrc to stop this broken warning? Nothing in it jumps out at me. Elsehwere? I can ctrl-alt-Fn to get to the vttys. http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::2262 thread discusses, but I see no solution there that doesn't depend on a running X session, and nothing in Bugzilla. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

r14.0.1 update

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I haven't rebooted, but did restart kmail. Nothing unusual in about 9 hours. Feels good, looks good. Many thanks to all who had a hand in this.

It looks like synaptic is trying to update to r14.0.1

by Gene Heskett

Greetings; It originally was going to update 324 packages, but not all could be downloaded, so now its back in the download phase, having updated about 100 that it could get the first time. 214 to go, but the download screen is confusing because its not being kept up to date. At one point I was looking at an estimated time to completion of 1 day + 23 hours, with a download rate of about 2k a second. Right now is says 2278 B/s for file 13 of 278. Did we melt the server down? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
