folks,
I just noticed I'm up to r14.0.1 [development] on one of my laptops;
what is the best way to downgrade to r14.0.0?

The way out is never as easy as the way in.
greets!
I just did a dist-upgrade (to R14 Jessie; exegnu) somewhat
incorrectly, it made a lot of changes I hadn't intended but that's
user error for the most part. one error was not filtering out stuff I
consider junk, for instance 'games'.
I thought I'd try purging them the so-called easy way using kpackage
but when I get set to remove kdegames-trinity, it _looks_ like
tde-trinity will go along it. I know this has to do with
'meta-packages' but I don't understand the implications.
one gets the same result from apt-get.
I'm happy, happier in fact, to do all of this using apt-get (or
aptitude). I'd love a magical incantation or rather guidance on how to
formulate one to remove this junk:
games
edutainment
education
science

I added myself to the audio group when root had sound and I didn't.

Hello
Using Ubuntu 14.04 and TDE 14.
Yesterday after running sudo apt-get autoremove I was suddenly presented
with an option to close or disable an X server (I think). I assumed it
had something to do with a tty, at least not the desktop so I said yes.
After selecting yes, the desktop disappeared and I was presented with
tty1. I logged in and started the desktop with startx.
At least I had a working Trinity desktop! However the volume control has
a small red circle with a white cross partially covering it, hovering
the mouse pointer over it causes a pop up to appear "Mixer cannot be found".
As you can see from the log below I tried installing and reinstalling
Alsa and Pulseaudio, even Arts, but still the sound didn't work.
On IRC Slavek suggested "sudo aptitude install tdebase-trinity
--without-recommends", after installing aptitude, it installed a few
packages, but after a restart still no sound.
However "sudo startx" did have sound!
Eventually I gave up and reinstalled Ubuntu/Trinity.
Next time what should I do to restore sound?

Hi,
I have just installed exe linux with the Trinity desktop (exe is basically
debian 7) and I am trying to share a local USB printer (HP Deskjet 1000).
I checked the "Shared" box in CUPS but it still can't be found by other
networked computers.
I installed system-config-printer and it opened showing that the printer is
shared.
Any ideas?
Also, I was going to include the version of Trinity in the first line, but I
don't know how to find that. I usually open synaptic to find what versions are
installed, but it's not listed under the name Trinity.
Thanks,
Don
this has always been an issue for me, and it occurs to me that maybe
there's an easy solution that i've just never happened upon.
in kmenu i have numerous applications in menus and submenus, many of which
i use only occasionally. it would be great if there were a way to have the
submenus list them in alphabetical order and indeed some setting that
keeps it that way as new applications are added.
is there such a setting, someplace?
thanks.

Hi,
I need some help when mount an usb device. Konquerer say "Unable to mount this
device ... Technical detail: No supported mounting methods were detected on
your system"
The stick has as sdb5 a vfat file system and it should be mounted with
umask=000 so the users can work with. Is it possible to configure Trinity to
do so.
System: Debian wheezy
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Hi,
after update a Debian Squeeze (LTS) to R14, I get an error when try to open a
file from within LibreOffice. I get the error-message: "Wrong mime type" and
the question, if the mime library is installed. With TDE-3.13.2 I never get
this message.
The tde-mime-type libs are installed.
Can some one confirm?
Many thanks and best christmas greetings from Germany
Rolf
after the upgrade to R14, my kmail address book seems to have disappeared.
(frankly, i've been a little cross ever since the simple
one-line-per-address, plain text address book was deprecated ages ago in
an attempt to be More Like Windows, but never mind.)
when i sought to use it after the upgrade, it was entirely empty.
did i miss a step? did it get moved? any recovery possible?
thanks.
