notification popup icons: just empty white sheet
by Uwe Brauer 28 Jul '24

28 Jul '24

Hi In Ubuntu 24.04 with trinity installed notifications, such as, «you are not connected to Wifi Net....» Are shown with an icon that contains a white sheet. What pkg I did not install? Regards Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

problems with apt & aptitude
by William Morder 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

The electric power went out in my building overnight while I was asleep, having left my laptop running, and when I awoke I couldn't boot it up again, but was forced to reinstall my system. (And here was I just congratulating myself on having gone about 8 months without any major changes, much less disasters.) My installation did not go well. Maybe it's because I hadn't done it in awhile; as well as the fact that I am too busy to be bothered with this crap just now, yet I still need a working machine in order to keep my life together. In all, I think I tried 11 times (yes, eleven!) to get my system reinstalled and reconfigured. It doesn't go so well when there are other important matters that also claim my attention. The problems with reinstallation do not seem to involve Trinity as such. For some unknown reason, the XFCE desktop has messed up my settings, so that I was unable to find my network, etc.; so instead, I used MATE to finish the installation, then installed my TDE packages. After I got to that stage, I was back in familiar territory, and all seemed to be going well.... Anyway, so I got it up and running, everything looks right, just finishing up, installing all those other packages that can wait. And now, I get this weird error message: sudo apt-get -f install apt-get: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0: undefined symbol: _ZN11pkgDepCache24IncreaseActionGroupLevelEv, version APTPKG_6.0 I don't know what this means, and I am unable to use apt utilities, apt-get, aptitude, etc. I can still install packages using dpkg, but without knowing how to solve this problem, it seems pointless to keep on trying to make it work. After 11 attempts at reinstallation throughout today, I am at my wits' end, and really do not want to undertake yet another reinstallation. If anybody knows of a way to solve this issue, I will be for ever grateful. Bill

How did Firefox running in Trinity suddenly become full screen?
by Chris Austin 14 Jul '24

14 Jul '24

Hello, I was in the middle of making a donation to a non-profit, in Firefox running in Trinity, when suddenly, for no apparent reason, Firefox became full screen, and there seemed to be no way to get out of it. I presume I must accidentally have typed some key combination that caused it. Does anyone know what key combination that would be? And once it happened, how to get out of it? I had already entered my debit card details, etc, and now, not only had Firefox become full screen, but the top part of the Firefox window, including the address bar, had vanished as well. The ENTIRE screen was now taken up by the main display area of Firefox. The Trinity panel, which I always have at the bottom of the screen, had vanished, and there was no way to get it back. It was very alarming, because all my debit card details were there in the Firefox window, now taking up the entire screen, and I could not even see the Firefox address bar, to check that the green padlock was still there, and there was no green padlock to click on, to check it really was secure, and it really was the correct website. I desperately tried various key combinations including esc and other keys, but nothing worked, until eventually, possibly ctrl + alt + esc, I am not sure, the x mouse pointer appeared, and I must have clicked on the Firefox window with that, although I don't remember doing so, because eventually that full screen Firefox window started to vanish, and the Trinity panel came back into view. I guess the fact that the top part of the Firefox window vanished as well, so the entire screen was taken up by the main display area of Firefox, might indicate that this is a Firefox issue, rather than a Trinity issue, so this might be the wrong forum. Sorry if that's the case. I have been using Trinity continuously since about March 2017, and I think it's really great. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Thanks. With best wishes, Chris Austin

How to turn off tdegtk?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Somehow I've mangled the tdegtk configuration in my main user account (I think I was trying to get rid of the warnings; see below). Now it's preventing my favourite text editor from running. I tried to remove ~/.themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0/tdegtk.css (attached; fails at line 299) but it just comes back when I re-login. How can I disable it? I'm thinking now that turning it on in the first place was a mistake. | $ /usr/local/bin/jedit -log=7 -restore -startupscripts -gui -newview -settings=/home/leslie/.config/jedit -server=Leslie -- c++/demo.cc& | wd=/usr/local/src/packages/SOURCES/ncurses6.5-20240629 | $ | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.621: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4:7: The 'engine' property is ignored | | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.679: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:10: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated.

How to configure Sysguard app in panel?
by Mike Bird 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

It's probably ten years or more since I configured the Sysguard app in one of my panels. Today I wanted to change the config. I found I could remove a display but I could only add blank displays which I could find no way to configure. It took me three hours but eventually I succeeded by restoring my ~/.trinity/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml from backup and then manually editing it WHILE TRINITY WAS NOT RUNNING. Is there a better way to configure the Sysguard app in a panel? --Mike

How dead is Trinity and is it worth contributing to?
by Riley Bell 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

I love TDE and want to contribute to it but is it worth it? I've been in the devels mailing list for a couple weeks now and there haven't been any new messages. There are many applications I can't find in TGW like kmilo. The Project RoadMap on the wiki has a warning of being outdated. Is there a reason certain repositories haven't had a non-translation related commit in years? It seems improvements outside the scope of bug fixes and the migration to CMake are stalled indefinitely due to issues with adding support for Qt4? Why not drop it and try for Qt5/6 instead? Can the migration to Webkit for HTML rendering be done without Qt4 support? How hard would it be to make a style plugin for Qt5/6? I currently use gtk-qt-engine-trinity with qt5-gtk2-platformtheme as a workaround but it would be nice to have reliable, native support. I don't exactly understand how TQT or the TQT Interface works so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. ------------------------------------------------- This free account was provided by VFEmail.net - report spam to abuse(a)vfemail.net ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!

crash reports
by Wossog 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Hello, I use Trinity with Linux Artix and am actually happy with it. But there are a few small things that bother me, like the constant crash reports regarding Konqueror. I know this from earlier (KDE 3), but not from any current distribution. Since I can't do anything about it anyway, can I stop this pop-up window? Thanks, Michael

Where does REGULAR TDE's KMAIL store emails?
by CHRIS M 30 Jun '24

30 Jun '24

Hello Ya'll, I can't find where TDE KMAIL in Regular TDE stores its emails? What I mean by "Regular TDE" is: I installed Debian 12 with a minimal XFCE install, then installed TDE on top of that. In Q4OS, TDE KMAIL stored emails under "~/home/chris/.tdeconfig/share/ ".......something like that...... Thanks, Chris -- Sent with Vivaldi Mail. Download Vivaldi for free at vivaldi.com

Installing TDE
by CHRIS M 26 Jun '24

26 Jun '24

Okay folks! I did a nuke and pave and installed DEBIAN 12, but I had to install KDE, because I couldn't figure out how to install TDE due to a certain step in the directions: I just wanted to get some clarification before I decided to install TDE: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x <your-distribution-release-name> main deps Which would be for me: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x bookworm main deps But, I don't think putting 14.1 is correct? Or does it matter? If I put 14.1 would TDE update itself from this old version to the newest version? Thanks, Chris
