I've noticed a problem with Amarok. I seems it cannot scan and catalog
into the database any more than 12607 music files. Does not matter if
it's with SQLite or MySQL. the progress bar climbs to 13 percent and
never advances eventually disappears, showing a partial collection list.
it does stop indexing but there are over 60,000 files in the music
directory. I can use the files tab and "grab the music directory" and
drag to playlist, and about 40 mins later all files show up in playlist,
and they do play and have tag info, but collection tab doesn't show all
that are in the playlist. Doesn't seem to leave any clue in a log file.
All files have the same owner:group and attributes.
amarok-1.14.10 in Trinity-3.5.13.2 on Debian Wheezy
I just installed TDE R14.0.0 on top of a Xubuntu 14.04 install, going
through Synaptic. Everything went very smooth, it was done in just a few
minutes and the pc restarted and logged in using the same password I had
for Xubuntu, since TDE did not ask me to set a password. I just assumed
that is what I needed to use. Everything was going good, I was just going
through the Control Center exploring trying to get familiar with the
settings, until I came across one, (I don't remember now which one), but it
needed a password before I could open it to make changes. I put in the same
password I had just used, but got an error message saying that wasn't the
right password.
Just to be sure I knew what I was doing, I rebooted and logged back in the
second time with the Xubuntu password. However I could not get that
password to work for anything other than logging in. I even tried to reset
my password using that one, but again it said incorrect password. So I did
some research on the internet, and found instructions on how to reset a
users password, by booting into advanced options and going to the recovery
settings, opening a command line, and typing in "password <usenamer>", so I
did that and set up another password I would remember easily. Rebooted, got
back to log-in screen, put the new password in, and an error msg popped up,
something about not being the right password. Then gave me an error about
"DCOP server error no read access to $home unable to start". I restarted
tried the old password, and the new password both about three times, while
searching the internet on another pc, trying to troubleshoot and find the
problem, I didn't find very much and what I did find, didn't work;
I tried going back into advanced start options and change password back, it
failed, saying that it wasn't secure enough. I completely understand the
need to keep things and people safe, and not everybody needs access to
certain parts of the OS, however I feel that if I don't want a password, I
should not be forced to use one. The whole point of Linux is to use what
you like, and not be forced to do what someone you've never me thinks you
should do. I could use a different D/E, that wouldn't require a password
for anything but the terminal, but then it wouldn't be TDE. I used TDE for
about 3 weeks a long time ago, then Ubuntu upgraded and TDE was no longer
supported, because a different file system or something was used, and when
I emailed the support people, I was told it probably wouldn't be upgraded,
At least that what the email I got said. So I have just been checking in
periodically to see if it ever came back up, and was very happy to see it
had. .
I really like TDE, so I am hoping I can find an easy fix for this. I
installed it last night just before gong to bed, so it's been installed
less than 12 hours right now, it wouldn't be a big deal to reinstall from
here. Other than being annoying and aggregating. Has anyone seen this
error, and know how to correct it? I searched google for a while before
writing in, and could not find anything that actually works for me. I
generally avoid this kind of issue since it's very easy to bork a system,
if your not careful.
Thank You

L.S.
For the last week I keep getting a '501 Redirect to invalid target' on updateing
the repository via
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy
main
is this a known problem?

Hi,
first of all I wish everybody out there a happy and successfull new year and
happy hacking.
Now my questions:
I get a lot of timeouts when I try to update trinity. Mostly
because "Translation"-files where not be found. Are they really needed?
Second I would to know, if there are mirrors of the trinity repositories,
perhaps faster ones near by.
Fine regards
Rolf

a) Could you please turn off HTML? That's *very* painful to read
b) I don't use Ubuntu, but I have LO running on R14/Wheezy and no UI problem,
so your problem must be Ubuuntu-related and not TDe-related.
By the way, I installed LO from the LO site, so maybe your problem is caused
by settings chosen by Ubuntu that now are no more satisfied?

Thierry
When I use my kvm switch to switch to another computer (well .. it is
actually just K/M, I have video monitors attached to both so I can see
both) then TDE puts up the "secure desktop area" dialog, hiding my desktop.
It says <username> is currently logged on, and gives options for Lock
Session, Task Manager, Logoff, Menu, Cancel.
How can I disable this "secure desktop area" dialog? I never want to see
it again. If I switch my keyboard and mouse away from this computer, I
want to continue to see whatever was showing before.
Thanks!

(the live CD on the website)
The contents of Firefox's URL bar, instead of showing the text of the URL,
shows a black and/or gray bar where the text should be. The text is still
there -- it can be selected and copied -- it just can't be seen. This
happens both when running from the live CD, and after installation.
Everything else (having to do with the display, and otherwise) works fine
and is perfectly normal. The problem doesn't occur when running from the
Xubuntu 14.04 live CD. Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks.

The green dot was shown in the system tray before I activated my printer
(HP LaserJet P1102) but not after printer activation. To activate the
printer I looked at http://hplipopensource.com/ It told me that although
the ppd for that printer is available in the version of hplip shipped
with Wheezy (3.12.6-3.1+deb7u1), if I used the later version of hplip
(3.14.10) I would benefit from ¨access to new features and bug fixes¨.
So I downloaded that version and ran the command to install the later
version of hplip. It wanted to install some additional packages but
noticed that adept was installed and asked me to remove it before it
would install them. I therefore purged all the eleven (?) trinity adept
packages and their dependencies.
Hplip installed some of those packages, but could not install two
because of broken dependencies and then two more which did not exist. I
then gave up trying to use hplip 3.14.10 and ran the two commands
necessary to install the ppd from the hplip version in Wheezy,
'hp-plugin -i' and 'hp-setup -i'. The printer was consequently
activated and usable. (In retrospect I should have disregarded the
advice received.)
I then reinstalled the eleven trinity adept packages including
adept-notifier-trinity, but the green dot did not appear. Two reboots
later it still has not reappeared. The only thing I could think of
doing was to run deborphan and purge all orphaned libraries. After
doing so the green dot still did not appear.
I would consequently appreciate any advice on how to get adept to work
properly again.

so, well, today I also upgraded my good ols eeepc701 to r14 (from 3.5.13), not
without some trouble (had to issue aptitude dist-upgrade several times), but
finally, ran through and most things seem to work.
unfortunately, kdepowersave stopped working.
whien started from the cli, I get this:
kpowersave --force-acpi-check
kpowersave: WARNING: Acquire org.freedesktop.Policy.Power interface failed
with error: Connection ":1.13" is not allowed to own the
service "org.freedesktop.Policy.Power" due to security policies in the
configuration file
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: ERROR: Can't connect to HAL
kpowersave: ERROR: Could not connect to HAL
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...
kpowersave: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later...

kpowersave: ERROR: This machine does not support ACPI, APM, PMU, CPUFreq,
Suspend2Disk nor Suspend2RAM. Please close KPowersave now.
ERROR: Communication problem with kpowersave, it probably crashed.
so, seems to be related to hal.
anyone got an idea how to fix this (OS is debian wheezy).

Sorry to start another thread - deleted the previous one.
I had an installation that I upgraded to R14. I can confirm that not only the
kabc folder is neither copied nor renames to tdeabc, but actually tdeabc does
not exist at all until one first starts kmail (maybe one must even start the
address book).
Once I got the empty address book, copying the content of kabc did the trick.

Thierry
