Hello all,
Since I upgraded TDE to R14.0 (on openSUSE 13.1) I've got a problem with
LibreOffice (4.2.5.2). More precisely with the save dialog. If I want to save
a file (save as), I get a first error dialog:
"Sorry - LibreOffice
Could not find mime typeapplication/octet-stream"
When I click ok it says:
"no mime types installed"
And if I accept this one I get
"Malformed URL file:///data"
And then a dialog box showing my path (/data/), but any navigation try is
answered with "Malformed URL file:///"
I've checked the file associations, set up LibreOffice's programs as first
choice (they had been set further back in the list). Everything seems same as
in 3.5.13.2, but it does not work.
Interrestingly, I found discussions about a similar (?) problem with KDE back
in 2004, but the proposed solutions did not apply).
A simple workaround is to set LibreOffice to use it's own dialogs, but I
thought it was worth reporting because I acn't figure out what's the problem.

Hi Guys,
Anybody know how to get the ACL662 sound working on a "Biostar
A68N-5000 Mainboard". Google comes up with nothing relevent, unless
you use winblows.
Debian Jessie, TDE 14.01 Desktop.
Thanks in advance.

I successfully got the key for Slávek Banko's repository in order to
authenticate a preliminary stable build of R14.0.1 to use with Jessie. I
then installed tde-trinity -- a total of 503 packages.
When the login manager appeared, after selecting TDE as my session type
I was able to log in as my user. The default flash screen appeared with
seven icons across the bottom. The first four were highlighted briefly.
When the fifth one, “Loading the desktop”, appeared the icon flashed for
50 seconds, then the flash screen disappeared, leaving only the original
blue screen with blotches of white of various shapes, the Debian swirl
in red and the cursor – nothing else. From this point I could do
nothing else.
What I i supposed to do now? Was something was missed in the installation?

Hi
I got no Trinity 3.5.13-sru desktop in OpenSUSE 13.1 after install.
I choose OpenSUSE 13.1 because it is to a Evergeen OpenSUSE with
extended support.
I followed the instruction in https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall
even edit file "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" and set DISPLAYMANAGER="tdm"
And althought I got triinity login manager
the desktop that started reveral to Lxde, the other desktop I installed.
I tried to edit "/etc/sysconfig/windowmanager" and set
WINDOWMANAGER="Twin" or "KDE", "tde" or even
WINDOWMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/startkdm"
it seems to be still hardcoded as described in
http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4125
Any one have suggestion on making trinity start after login?
Thanks in advance
Hi!
What is tdekbdledsync and why it is eating over 100MB of memory on one of my
machines? 2 weeks uptime since jessie/14.0.1-pre update, i suspect memory
leak.

Can we have a mention of Slávek's R14 preliminary-stable-builds repository on
the web-site?
With a short explanation of what it is, along the lines of: more up-to-date
versions and other architectures/distros can be found at...and perhaps the
following from an email of Slávek's:
1) Add the source to sources.list:
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb *distribution-name* deps-r14 main-r14
2) From some public GPG keyserver download the key and import it into APT:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pks.gpg.cz --recv-keys ED1F4884
Explanation of why I thought of it now:
Yesterday someone on one of my local LUGs' mailing list complained that when
he upgraded to Vivid his DE went to pot - I won't bore you with the details.
He went on:
<quote>
Because of this, I thought I'd give trinity a go, but that doesn't
appear to have a vivid release yet.
It looks like it's not my day today.
</quote>
I hastily wrote sending my guess at the repository entry for Vivid, which I
immediately confirmed here and ratified to him.
He replied:
<quote>
Thanks for that.
I was trying to follow the instructions from trinitydesktop.org and
using the pearsoncomputing ppa.
Have I been looking in the wrong place?
[snip]
I used the repository you suggested, and I've installed trinity
successfully.
[snip]
Until you mentioned it I had no idea that there
were other repos for trinity.
</quote>
Whilst R14 preliminary-stable-builds has no pretensions to being Stable, it is
stable and is a valuable resource to us and could be to others. It seems
worthy of a mention.

From a request for help I received this morning:
<quote>
I wanted to do a clean install of Trinity on a new disk, and I got this
error when trying to add the key.
gpg: requesting key A04BE668 from hkp server pks.gpg.cz
gpgkeys: key A04BE668 can't be retrieved
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
</quote>
Any ideas?
Lisi
Yesterday I filed a wish-bug. I am very conscious of what is involved and of
how precious the developer effort and time is. The person who told me to ask
said that it would be quick and easy, but quick and easy are both very
subjective words.
This bug is important to me and to no-one else, so far as I know, on this
list. It is something that I have not the knowledge to do for myself. So
could I pay the project? Can someone spare the time? If so, would it be
affordable? Yes, another subjective word.
I don't want to have to abandon KMail. I'd rather try and solve this problem.

I know exactly what Lisi is talking about. There's a growing trend that's
moving away from function toward flash. Web designers are doing three things.
1. Using all websites as POS sites (check out verizon's nightmare of a site).
2. Using pale, small fonts against similarly coloured backgrounds (grey
letters against a white bg). Using fonts that are "cool" rather than legable.
3. Designing websites so they can be used by mobile devices as well as
standard screen sized machines. Rather than building two.
This trend is expanding to other things. All of this leads to unreadable
pages, emails etc.
BTW, I have kmail set to show plain text as default. And I take over the fonts
on pages using the build in tools/settings.
Lisi try check out the settings. See if you can alter the fonts, and set it to
display text as the default. It might help.
I know this is exactly helpful, but...
