501 Redirect to invalid target
by Roel Wagenaar 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

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? -- Roel Wagenaar, Linux-User #469851 with the Linux Counter; http://linuxcounter.net/ Antw.: Omdat het de volgorde verstoord waarin mensen tekst lezen. Vraag: Waarom is top-posting een slechte gewoonte? Antw.: Top-posting. Vraag: Wat is het meest ergerlijke in e-mail? Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.

Timeouts and/or mirror
by rolf 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

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

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? Regards, Thierry

secure desktop area popup
by David Emerson 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

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! ~David.

Ubuntu 14.04 TDE live CD problem
by Dan Youngquist 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

(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. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

adept-notifier-trinity does not show green dot in system tray
by Ken Heard 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.

kdepowersave
by Werner Joss 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

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: WARNING: HAL is not ready. We will try later... 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). Werner

kabc/tdeabc
by Thierry de Coulon 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

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. Regards, Thierry

removing games and other cruff.
by Felmon Davis 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

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 f. -- Felmon Davis Every silver lining has a cloud.
