Hi all;
Whenever I do a package-manager or synaptic refresh, I am getting a
squawk about missing keys, specifically about a mozilla update from
wheezy-backports.
And I just discovered that this error window can now be highlighted for a
copy/paste, the lack of which I have silently bitched about for years.
Whoever fixed that I owe a case of suds to, hold up ypur hand and
identify yourself. Thank you very much.
So here is the error message from synaptic:
=======
W: GPG error: http://mozilla.debian.net wheezy-backports Release: The
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 85A3D26506C4AE2A
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is
not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error:

W: Failed to fetch
http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/Release
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.
==========
Looks like I am missing 2 gpg sigs then.
I assume there is an apt-get or apt-key command that I can invoke, but
I'll be dipped if I can remember how it works.
Can someone show me the cli command?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi Slávek et al
Today a libreoffice was deployed for jessie and it crashes allway with a
sigsegv in R14 (nothing else testable here).
I purged all libreoffice files and reinstalled it completly new but it crashes
too.
Do you or some one else has an idea why and a solution?
Fine regards
Rolf

What onscreen keyboard did you install? I installed kvkdb from the
repositories Slavek indicated. The keyboard does not "pop up" by itself as on
Android (but then it does not pop up when I have a physical keyboard either,
as "onscreen" does). I put an icon in the Panel and "call" it when needed.
I don't know how this would work with a lock screen however...

I doubt tdm knows about 3 fingers and I also doubt it would be easy to teach
it. That's probably what KDE 4 devs meant when they justified the new version
because KDE 3 was impossible to make "touch friendly".

It comes from the fact that, if you use Trinity, you're basically using year
2000 software, and there were no tablets (at least running Linux) at the
time.
It's a little like criticising a 1970's car for not providing airbags...
I don't know how or when KDE4 / Gnome 3 / Unity will get "tablet ready", but I
must say I'm quite pleased with the fact that TDE "can be used" on a tablet,
although it was not written for one!

Basically, what I always thought proves to be right: those that are
despreately trying to develop a user interface supposed to "scale" from a
Desktop to a Tablet will fail, because a good Table interface will always
feel clumsy on a big screen with a mouse (things too big, set up too
streamlined) and a Desktop interface is quite unusable on a Tablet (unless
you are fitted with stylus-like fingers, which is not my case).
So if you put a desktop system on a tablet, you should not expect the same
experience as Android. Apple is the only one to do it right: IOS is quite
different from the OS X desktop. A pity it's made by Apple and suffers from
Apple's policy.

Does it have to be nautilus and nfs? Have you tried
nfs://192.168.0.2/home/dpjungk/Share/ (or sftp://...) in Konqueror?
Konqueror can save login info and I think network logins are
automatic/transparent, but most of my LAN logins are via ssh key-pairs
(sftp, rsync, scp and ssh) so I'm not sure.
Hi
I saw on Archlinux wiki there are a compiled version, sometimes work
others not.
Server = http://trinity.ceux.org/r14/x86_64
I would like to contact who manage this repository, cause I want to
mirror it.
My server has good bandwitdh (it's in University campus)
Thanks!

Hi all;
I did solve the previous complaint about the TDE version of kcalc losing
its binary input and bitfield display, by making two links in the
menu's, one to the old KDE kcalc, and one to the TDE kcalc.
But I/we have another problem. Back around kubuntu 6.04 LTS time, kcalc
had a pair of menu macros to do inch to metric, and metric to inch.
By ubu 10.04 LTS, those disappeared, apparently never to be seen again.
Whats chances those could be resurrected for the R14.2 version of TDE?
Surely the older codebase still exists someplace, and for us who live in
both worlds as I was in electronics for 55 years of my working life, and
that pair of macro's were, while they existed, handier than bottled beer
& sliced bread in keeping the two measurement worlds on the same page
around my piece of this planet. But now its gone. Sniff...

Hi,
I'm using Trinity 3.5.13.2 that was installed with exe GNU linux.
I have a bash script to mount a shared folder from a remote server and open it
in a window. I launch it from a desktop icon. It looks like this:
sudo mount 192.168.0.2:/home/dpjungk/Share /mnt/nfs/client1
nautilus /mnt/nfs/client1
It works fine -- except that, if I close the window and want to reopen it, it
obviously asks for the password every time.
Is there a way to check to see if it is mounted so that it only asks for the
password if it is the first time?
Thank you for your time,
Don
Hello all,
I found a second hand Acer Iconia TAB W500 - for those who don't know the
beast, it's an X86 Tablet with an optional usb keyboard and relatively modest
specs (an AMD dual core C-50 at 1GHz).
The fun of this project was to see if a Linux Tablet is usable.
It turns out (not surprisingly) that Linux does run very happily on this
machine, but that as good as no distribution (that I have found) offers a
sensible user interface for a touch screen.
Debian stable + Gnome 3 is unusable (stays stuck all the time).
openSuSE with KDE 4 looks nice but I could not find a way to get the UI
elements in a size usable with my fingers.
The best I got yet is Ubuntu with Unity. It's a disaster when it comes to
administrate the computer, but it's the best UI for usability.
While researching for this project I re-read what KDE 4 devs had said about
having to give up KDE 3 because it was not "touchfriendly", so I tried TDE on
Ubuntu. Now, TDE is actually very usable on a touchscreen. There is ONE
problem - I can't find a way to activate an onscreen keyboard.
Ubuntu/Unity starts a tool called "onboard" that works almost as expected
(does not always seem to see if an external keyboard is present). It seems to
be linked to lightdm.
I can try to run Trinity with lightdm. Or has anyone a suggestion as to how to
get an onscreen keyboard with tdm?
Ah, and there would also be the problem of emulating the right mouse button
click. Without this it's very difficule to work in tablet mode.
Happy easter!
Thierry
