Screen rotates but touchscreen does not!
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hello everybody, I've got an interresting puzzle: I've set up a Thinkpad X220 Tablet with OpenSUSE 13.2 and TDE 14.0.1; Everything works wellincluding the Wacom digitizer, I've been able to install Open Sankore and MihPhoto from respectively a deb and an rpm package. TDE 14.0.1 on OpenSUSE seems to have a problem with this machine as it does not see my USB key as removable, but a workaround was setting a mount point in fstab. The puzzle is this: TDE proposes a system tray applet named "Resize and Rotate". It works like a charm, wich is usefull because the X220t's battery is a little bulky and lifts the back of the computer This is good in Notebook mode, but in Tablet mode, with the screen _physicaly_ rotated 180°, it's the front that is higher that the back. So if I rotate the screen _per software_ 180° everything is fine... However, the digitizer does not get the information, so the pointer appears on the wrong side of the screen - this is funny for 30 seconds but unusable after that. So, does anyone have an idea how to also rotate the touchscreen digitizer 180°? This does work in Windows 10, but I'd prefer to use Linux :) Have a nice evening, Thierry

Basket Kontact integration - does it work?
by iadest 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

Hello I'm using Basket to store my notes, links and small images. I'm trying Kontact now, but I have problem: There is no integration of Basket in Kontact. There is a package "basket-kontact-integration-trinity", but in my Jessie, 64-bit it does nothing. Is there any way to have Basket embedded in Kontact? MCbx

Possible bug
by Thierry de Coulon 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

Hello all, I've just made a fresh install of 14.0.1 on an OpenSUSE 13.2 on a Thinkpad X220 Tablet. Evrything went smooth, but I've got a small problem: If I set "Show device icons" in "configure Desktop -Device icons" and choose to show "Mounted Hard Disk Volume", I can see my mounted USB key - but I also see my mounted Hard Disk partitions. If I deselect "Mounted Hard Disk Volume" they all disappear, including the USB key. The dialog to mount the key when inserted does appear and the key does mount, but as I can't see it on the desktop it makes it more complicated to unmount (and I may forget). Show Mounted Removable Medium does nothing. Everything does work correctly on OpenSUSE 13.1 and TDE 14.0.0 on my main machine. Now the question is: TDE bug? Bug in the OpenSUSE version of 14.0.1? Local problem (maybe the graphic driver?)? Apart from that, this notebook is awsome: I can work as usual with TDE and my favourite trackpoint, and those application that can use / require a touchscreen work like a charm with the Wacom digitizer. It's more heavy than a Tablet, but it comforts me in thinking Tablets are useless to people who _work_ with a computer, it's only foe surfing (and maybe gaming). Ah, and I first tried "Tumbleweed" with KDE Plasma 5 on it - keep away! They are back to good old Windows Vista time, with notifications poping up everywhere all the time. Gnome 3 does a good job as a Tablet Interface and it includes a Wacom calibrating tool, but with a "Convertible" and it's Thinpad Keyboard It's TDE again obviously. Thierry

Error selecting tdm-trinity
by Leonard T Harris 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

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 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

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 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

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 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

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.
