Hi!
I just finished testing jessie + R14 fom Slávek repo. Things look really good, including the new color scheme :-) There are only 2 things I found:
- some minor translation issues (some text elements are not translated).
- Configuration of "LID close" is ignored: the screen is always locked ( i.e. the user has to enter his password) after opening the lid. Looks like the settings to do nothing on "LIC close" are somehow ignored.
Good work!

Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.
Something somewhat similar to the Kubuntu 14.04 problem - a few months
ago I did a fresh install of Mint (Debian Mate) in order to have its
wifi functionality. Then installed TDE base and several useful
packages, which work. Later I installed TDM and other packages it
seemed to need and chose TDM as the login mechanism. During login
using TDM, the list of available sessions doesn't include TDE, and the
subsequent desktop is still Mint. So maybe I missed some packages or
configuration?

Hi,
Just to try it, I tested Plasma 5 on my computer. At this stage, it is still called Plasma 5, instead of KDE 5 because the software around the desktop is not all ready for Qt5.
Also, I provided some screenshots showing Trinity apps being run on Plasma 5. They have to be launched manually from Konsole, but they run run very well and they are even well integrated, when QTCurve widget style is used.
IMHO, Plasma 5 is much more agreeable and pleasant to use than it was in KDE4. Yes, it is much slower than Trinity, but it features less nonsense than KDE4. It has not crashed on me for the ''small'' time I tried it. The new K menu is a kind of hybrid between what is the Kicker and the Kickoff menu in Trinity.
From what I can see, it will make forget the KDE4 series pretty soon, when it will be ready, but Trinity performance and useability is still unbeatable :)
Please be reminded that I only posted these screenshot for curiosity and nobody has to look at it.
If you want to comment, please be open-minded.

A fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. I installed the trinity nightlies.
The first thing I notice is trying to start emacs, I get the error.
Undefined color: "FOREGROUND"
emacs -q also gives the same error.
emacs -nw works as expected.
Judging from this:
http://emacs.1067599.n5.nabble.com/bug-16462-emacs-does-not-start-under-KDE…
I believe it's is some weird X problem. Since emacs worked fine when I
edited /etc/apt/sources.lists to add the nightly repo, I'm guessing it is
somehow related to installing TDE.
There is an Emacs.ad file in:
/opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/app-defaults/Emacs.ad
xrdb -query | grep -i emacs
Emacs*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND
Emacs*Dialog*background: BACKGROUND
Emacs*Dialog*foreground: FOREGROUND
Emacs*Foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND
Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Background: BACKGROUND
Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Foreground: FOREGROUND
Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: BACKGROUND
Emacs*bottomToolBarShadowColor: BACKGROUND
Emacs*menubar*background: BACKGROUND
Emacs*menubar*foreground: FOREGROUND
Emacs*popup*Background: BACKGROUND
Emacs*popup*Foreground: FOREGROUND
Emacs*toolBarShadowThickness: 0
Emacs*topToolBarShadowColor: BACKGROUND
Emacs.default.attributeBackground: WINDOW_BACKGROUND
Emacs.default.attributeForeground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND
Any idea how to make emacs work again?
Thanks in advance.

greetings, good folks . . .
i'm running 3.5.13.2 on 12.04LTS on a 64-bit machine.
untril friday i had two monitors, secondary above primary. primary was
1920x1080; secondary, though physically smaller, was 1920x1200. acquired a
replacement secondary monitor, fundamentically identical (1920x1080) to
the primary.
whereupon xrandr reported 1936x 2152. primary monitor is sharp, secondary
has contrasting ghosts slightly to the right of the original image.
thinking that my driver was flaked out, i d/led the latest geforce driver
and installed it. i rebooted. xrandr briefly listed 1920x2152 (1920x2160
would be correct) before kicker crashed. i have tried running dcop kicker
kicher restart; sometimes it shows kicker restarting, but then it
disappears not to return. there was a time when editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(or before that, XF86config) would let one adjust things to get the video
right, and that opening kcontrol and making, then unmaking, a change yo
the kicker parameters would fix things. but the x configuration file
structure has gone all odd, and i'm not sure i'd know anymore what to tell
it anyway. i can go looking for a way to fix the screen configuration, i
suppose, but i cannot live without my kicker.
ideas?
thanks.

I guess if I do this, Trinity will stop working. Is there a fix?

Hi,
Is it possible to install TDE on puppy Linux Slacko 5.7?
It is supposed to be Slackware version 14 compatible.
I have seen that there is a TDE build for Slackware with instruction here, but it seems to be outdated.

Got a new workstation. Wrong video card. The vendor -- rhymes with Bell
-- was happy to send me a 2-port card and 3 displays when I ordered a card
that had 3 ports (because, hello, three displays).
No problem, purchasing person, just have them send me the new card and I'll
send the old one back. Nope, no can do, user guy. Send the whole system back.
Three weeks later ...
I decide I want the latest Kubuntu. I see that there is no TDE for 14.04
so I think "OK, surely they've made KDE 4 usable by now given that it's
been how many years?"
Um, no. Panels won't extend across multiple screens - have to have one for
each. Do those stay on the screens where you put them? No they don't.
Surely this is something new. No, it is not - googling around tells me
that it's at least 5 years old *and* the plasma idiots say that this won't
be fixed because it isn't a problem.
Even *Konsole* is farked up. What a mess.
So here I am ... begging for 14.04 support in TDE because I really don't
have the time to spend reinstalling *again* (I skipped over the Fedora 20
and CentOS 6 chapters of the story). This is a work system, where I do
work, not a play system where I play. That is a distinction lost on the
plasma/KDE 4 idiots.
Help?

NM seems to work (I never thought to write those words!) in general, but I am
told that I need access to get a wireless connection going. How do I achieve
this? I can't launch it through Alt-F2 and I can't find it in the menu.
Thanks,
