Feature Request? Adjust Mouse Sensitivity through kcontrol
by Wirlaburla 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hi folks. I have a friend who recently struggled with his previous desktop environment so I slid Trinity towards him, and he has been using it since. There is a small problem though, and one I never noticed: There seems to be no way to change the mouse sensitivity under the settings. I thought this was crazy when he told me he couldn't find it, but alas, he wasn't blind. There is no slider anywhere for adjusting the mouse sensitivity. "Well, perhaps this was an accidental regression at some point", I thought, as I loaded KDE3 on a VM. "There is no way there was no slider in this desktop for something as simple as mouse sensitivity." As wild as I thought that claim would be, there also wasn't a slider in KDE3, only an option to change the polling rate on supported mice, which explained to me the historic reason as to why. My friend is setting the sensitivity through xinput right now, but perhaps it is time to add a slider to change mouse sensitivity. Those with highly-sensitive mice shall Trinity with no fear! And just to check, I tried turning the Pointer Threshold down and Acceleration up to see if that is a hacky way to change sensitivity. It is not. Or perhaps we are both blind as bats and the option was already there, right in front of us. Please let us know. -- Wirlaburla

Understanding kernel versions in Debian
by Gianluca Interlandi 18 Mar '24

18 Mar '24

Dear all, May be off topic. I am trying to understand why Debian (especially stable) has the reputation as being more conservative than other distributions. If I look at distrowatch (for example comparing to openSUSE and Fedora): Kernel LibreOffice Release date Bookworm 6.1.27 7.4.5 2023-06-10 Trixie 6.6.15 24.2.0 2023-06-11 Leap 15.5 5.14.21 7.4.3.2 2023-06-07 Tumbleweed 6.7.9 24.2.1 2024-03-17 Fedora 6.5.6 7.6.2 2023-11-07 I don't know much about the meaning of kernel versions, but I know that major versions are often developed in parallel. Is 5.14.21 newer than 6.1.27? Judging alone from the kernel version numbers (and other packages), it looks like Leap would be the most conservative while Debian Testing (Trixie) almost as up-to-date (concerning newer Linux packages) as Tumbleweed and ahead of Fedora (released later).

remove sleep, suspend, hybernate, sleep and combos from logout menu
by Rody 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Hi, Is there a way to remove the sleep, suspend, hybernate, sleep and combos from the logout menu within Trinity? So far I have been unable to find configuration options for this. Therefor I used polkit to disable these options system wide. I used the following code in a file I created for this purpose in: /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d [Disable suspend (logind)] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.suspend;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no This would remove all the undesired options in the logout menu. However, after I updated to Trinity 14.1.1, the logout menu has now added a freeze option. Searching for that on the internet gives me just about all the possible results related to hanging or crashed systems but not what I'm looking for. So my question is: a) does Trinity have a native way to remove these suspend/hybernate/freeze/aso options? if not, then b) does anyone know what needs to be added to the above Action line to let polkit do it for me? I'm running Trinity on Devuan 4, so no systemd here. Regards, Rody

tdeinit startin twize ...
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

This is the followup of "dcopserver starting twize". As I am just creating a new Devuan+TDE ISO I ran into this naging problem again. When booting from the ISO created with refractasnapshot /etc/init.d/tde starts tdeinit twize in parallel. This leads to dcopserver running twize - sometimes one for root and one for $USER, sometimes both for $USER. My workaround for now: "service stop tdm; killall dcopserver" restarts TDE once. Now my question is: where is that racecondition hidden that makes /etc/init.d/tde to start tdeinit twice in parallel? Any idea?

Qt5 software in TDE
by Darrell Anderson 10 Mar '24

10 Mar '24

Is there a recommended strategy to deal with Qt5 software in TDE? This is somewhat like dealing with GTK software. On my systems, Qt5 programs look awful in TDE, mostly really tiny fonts and ignoring themes. Qt5 tools look normal when I use KDE. I am aware of qt5ct. That tool provides some sanity with Qt5 tools in TDE, but usage needs to be limited to TDE. Otherwise qt5ct introduces its own frustrations in KDE. Thanks.

Konqueror File Sorting
by darrella＠clovermail.net 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

How is the R14.1.1 Konqueror sorting options supposed to function? With the following options: * View->View Mode->Tree View * View->Show Hidden Files->enabled * View->Sort->Group Directories First->enabled * View: ->Sort->Group Hidden First->disabled Nothing happens when toggling Group Hidden First. Hidden directories always list before non hidden directories. I expect directories such as ~/Desktop, ~/Pictures, etc to list before ~/.cache, ~/.config, ~/.trinity, etc. Tested with a fresh profile. Thanks.

Cant install Trinity in Tumbleweed
by jacobheinrich＠hotmail.com 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

So... I had to roll back an install that I broke, but now that I am back to a "working" barebones install, I have to install TDE. But when trying to install any TDE app, I receive an error that the dependency "libtiff.so.5()(64-bit)" is needed but not provided. This is on OpenSUSE tumbleweed. Anyone else having this issue when updating/installing TDE apps?

network issues - tdenetworkmanager
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Now I got bitten by the same problem - and got solution (at least for devuan) - so this might be interesting for Bill :) It turned out that the compination of "apparmor" plus "pulseaudio" made networkmanager go kind of numb. It would not connect to my wifi for ever. Retrying did not change anything nor did turning the wifi device on/off change anything. Last entry in syslog was always "wlan0: associated", but it looked like ip address was received. Now removing "apparmor" increased the chace of getting ip adresses via dhcp to ~ 50%. After removing pulseaudio and pulseaudio-modules-bluetooth the rate is back to normal aka 100%. Note: I had pulseaudio to connect to bluetooth speakers and my problems begun after installing it. At last I got the speakers working with "bluealsa" --> kmix is not confused with the "pulseaudio" device sneeking in as first coundcard.
