(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: This machine does not support ACPI, APM, PMU, CPUFreq,

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
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

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.
