KPDF print error
by Greg Madden 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Been printing from KPDF for quite some time,recently I got the following error. I am running Debian Stretch + TDE R 14.0.3, which is testing ..for Debian anyway. This is the error dialog with NO filters, selecting 'keep' actually prints. "The file format application/postscript\012- \012- application/octet-stream is not directly supported by the current print system. You now have 3 options: TDE can attempt to convert this file automatically to a supported format. (Select Convert) You can try to send the file to the printer without any conversion. (Select Keep) You can cancel the printjob. (Select Cancel) Do you want TDE to attempt and convert this file to application/postscript?" This is the error dialog with various filters selected, tried different combo's..same result. "The MIME type application/postscript\012- \012- application/octet-stream is not supported as input of the filter chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection on a non-PostScript file). Do you want TDE to convert the file to a supported format?" I

There are possibly a few things to edit when you move to .trinity (but that will be only once). Mainly, did you edit /.trinity/share/config/kmailrc ? In the last part of the file (after the mailboxes), you have the path to your mail directory. In (very) old time this would have been ~/mail , but somwhere in KDE history it was relocated to a ./kde3 subdirectory, usually $HOME/.kde3/share/apps/kmail/mail. You must change that to $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail As far as I remember that's all I had to do (apart from copyinf the directory). Thierry

KMail Update
by Glen Cunningham 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

G'day Trinity Users, At last I've found a tuit ( a round one) :-) Upgrading from TDE 3.5.11 to Trinity R14.0.2. So far, I've got Ubuntu 14.04.4 with Trinity R14.0.2 on another computer. My yellow-streak compells me to leave the working TDE 3.5.11 system alone until the new box is properly configured. My main problem is transferring KMail settings and mailboxes to the new system, so my questions are .... 1. Is it just a simple copy of the files from the old to the new systems? 2. If this is possible, which files need to be copied? From where to where? (Seems that paths and directories are very different on the two systems). FWIW. I tried searching the list archives but my search-foo is rather low just now, but I found some references that suggest that what I want to do is actually doable. Thanks in antic, Glen PS. If anyone is interested, the "new" system is an Aldi Akoya E4214 which is not as yet well supported by Linux distros but eventually got WiFi working with a custom compiled driver. G.

[trinity-users] apps in /usr/local/share/applications/*.desktop in Lost & Found instead of where they belong
by Felix Miata 20 Feb '16

Anyone know how to get them to show in main menu sections they belong in automatically instead of Lost & Found?

keyboard back light issue
by Pisini, John 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

I have a CM devastator keyboard with back lighting. This keyboard uses the scroll lock key to turn the light on and off. On my system running Ubuntu under other desktop environments like Mate or KDE I can turn the back light on using xset led 3 and I usually have it scripted to turn on after I log in. Under Trinity doing xset led 3 causes the keyboard to flash really quickly once and then the light goes off. Is there something holding the keyboard under Trinity? Is there a way to use the back light? -- John P

I went to check on the latest version of Alexandre's remaster for PCLinuxOS, having the PCLinuxOS_no_TDE_remaster_5sept2015.iso already downloaded; but the most recent on the TDE site is this one: PCLinuxOS_no_remaster_2octobre2014.iso Is there a problem with the newer one? Lisi

One more question for the TDE guru's
by Gene Heskett 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Greetings everybody; Everytime I have to reboot, but often, or more recently because of tdm updates, restart tdm, I have had to find a shell and execute "alsactl restore" before I have sound. Is there a file that runs after my login, far enough after it, that I could add that command to instead of figureing out "hey its awful quiet in here" some time after the restart and reminds me to go and execute it? If I could figure out where in the restart the sound gets muted, I'd fix it there. This has been a nearly 2 year long problem for me. Thanks everybody.

Hep me! ksmserver crash
by Peter Laws 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

This started after an update Friday. Get the login screen, system accepts password, progress bar shows for about 1/3 of the way, then get the dialog box about ksmserver crashing. I've done both "report crash" and "create backtrace" both of which cycle me back to the login screen. I pull packages from here: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 Stuff I don't understand from the logs: Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.008000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.920132] ioapic: probe of 0000:00:05.4 failed with error -22 Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 4.348917] fglrx: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel Feb 9 11:01:48 toto3 failsafe: Failsafe of 120 seconds reached.

What is the correct sources.list line for staying current with all tde r14 updates? I did just now get 11 updates for the box on the mill, but none for this box, which should have similar TDE installs. But I've been looking at a red star for the update-manager status just to the left of the time-date display for weeks, just on this machine, but if I "sudo apt-get update", no errors are reported. But I just checked in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and found several enpty or all commented out files and nuked them and the red star is gone. Puzzling at best, like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Plausible explanation for a buglet? DIIK. Thanks folks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
