Debian Wheezy, TDE R14 I have the tdepim meta-package installed. I just noticed that the calendar no longer is available. Error dialog box pops up, no other info, or is there a Trinity specific error log somewhere? -- Peace, Greg

emerge qt-3.3.8d-r1 fails because of missing (?) xft

by Kai Wuest

Hi list, emerge @preserved-rebuild tries to emerge dev-qt/qt-3.3.8d-r1, which fails because of missing freetype.h The log says Xft auto-detection... (-L/usr/lib64) Found libXft.so in /usr/lib64 Found libXft.so in /usr/lib Found X11/Xft/Xft.h in /usr/include Found Xft version 2.3.1 Could not find freetype2/freetype/freetype.h anywhere in /usr/X11R6/include /usr/include /include Xft disabled. Xft support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests! Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report. If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue. * ERROR: dev-qt/qt-3.3.8d-r1::trinity failed (configure phase): * (no error message) * media-libs/freetype 2.5.3-r1 is installed. Any help appreciated k

K3B blu-ray support

by Greg Madden

Just bought my first blu-ray drive, for data archives. Support for blu-ray was added to K3B in version 2.0, current is 2.02. Is it possible to add blu-ray support to legacy, v1.05 in TDE R14, K3B ? I can burn blu-ray with growisofs from the cli, prefer K3B. ---- Peace, Greg

Minimal install of TDE

by Michael .

I'm about to start on making a live version of a minimal install of TDE for Cobber (Australasian Debian). I am wondering what are the absolute minimum packages required for a working TDE without applications. The intent behind the minimal install is to allow end users who want to choose the applications in their install to install only what they need and want. I will provide synaptic (or a TDE equivalent) for those who want a gui for package selection but there will be no office suite, games, graphics tools, music or video tools. In other words all I want is the visible desktop, menu etc so that the user can navigate enough to install more applications through their internet connection using either synaptic or a terminal. Cheers. Michael.

systemd and sysvinit, a question

by Lisi Reisz

Since this list seems prepared to stick to logic, facts and solutions, rather than heat and emotion, perhaps some kind soul would answer a question for me. I have no opinion on init systems. I accept what I am given and am grateful, but .... If sysvinit is as staggerigly marvellous as it is being painted by some, and if it was such a near thing that it got dropped as the Debian default init system, how come the vote was apparently between Upstart and systemd? And given that it was a vote between Upstart and systemd, why are some people so up in arms and ranting that sysvinit was dropped by a meaningless margin? (The chairman's casting vote.) When and how was the decison to drop sysvinit as the Debian default init system actually taken? Lisi

Wheezy upgrade to R14

by Greg Madden

Went for it, upgrades main workstation,,whew... a couple of issues. Wheezy amd64, TDE 3.5.13.2 > http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/wheezy/deps-r14 I used 'apt-get dist-upgrade', went without a hitch. Issue: when I log in, a dialog box pops up for a locked session, need password. I get from 3-6 of these dialogs on each login, I usually do not shut my box down..minor anoyance , definately not locked sessions, or screensavers... would like to know how to get rid of these. I use the 'adept-notifier' icon in the system tray. The icon no longer, it used to, changes to green after a update. A restart of the session will remedy this, do not want shut everything down to fix issues with desktops. Love kdepim..it is the app that keeps me hooked on Trinity, not feeling the love for kpdf & gwenview. -- Peace, Greg

can't install k9copy-trinity from nightly build repository

by Ilya Dogolazky

Hi ! I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Jessie. As I tried to install k9copy program, apt-get complained about dependency on "mencoder" The package "mencoder" doesn't seem to be available in jessie. Any idea how to solve it? Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file ----8<---- deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/d… jessie main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de… jessie main ----8<---- Here is the output of apt-get install command: ----8<---- root@tuoni:~# apt-get install k9copy-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: k9copy-trinity : Depends: mencoder but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ----8<---- Cheers, Ilya Dogolazky

For the records: Deepin Linux + TDE

by Thierry de Coulon

Hello all, A magazine I was reading talked about Deepin Linux ( a chinese Ubuntu derivative with an HTML 5 desktop environment). As the last Deepin is based on Trusty, I've installed it and then used Slavek's repositories to install R.14 on it: it works perfectly. Their native DE get's removed in the porcess and Deepin's own applications are not really great IMHO, so all thsi may be without real use, but TDE on Deepin works. I have to understand how to tweak Ubuntu to revert from using sudo to using root if I want to continue using this istall though... Thierry
