Lockups after unlocking screensaver
by Mike Bird 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Since installing RC2 I have twice experienced "lockups" upon unlocking the screen. I have never experienced these before. Once "locked up" the mouse has no effect and there is almost no keyboard effect. However numlock and capslock keys still flip their indicator LEDs and ctrl-alt-Fn can be used to switch to another console. First time: as root I restarted tdm-trinity. I didn't notice if there were any error messages. When Trinity restarted it was on a new console - alt-F8 instead of alt-F7. The second time: as root I stopped tdm-trinity. I noticed error messages saying the stop had failed. I killed -9 kdesktop_lock, stopped tdm-trinity again, and started it. This time Trinity started on the expected console. I'd appreciate any suggestions of any additional steps I should take to help diagnose the problem if it happens again. --Mike

Gnome 3 does not want to let Trinity start
by Thierry de Coulon 05 Dec '14

Hello all, I had installes Wheezy several time and then installes TDE, no problem, choose TDM and restart... I've just installed two laptops from the 7.7 CD and both time I had to wipe out Gnome 3 to get TDE loading. Is this a new rogue Gnome Install way? Thierry

kdeskto_lock issue
by Greg Madden 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Debian Wheezy, Amd64, Nvidia quadro card, drivers from vender, dual monitors. In my .xsession-errors files I can see numerous entries: "tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-pabiVcZK3y/kdesktop_lock_lockfile" This crashes my X session, ~ 1 minute uptime, dumps me back to the login screen, totaly unworkable. I have been working around this issue because it only happens on 2 workstations with the same hardware specs, and drivers from Nvidia. I remove '/opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock', I do not use screensaver or lock desktop, this works..until an update replaces the kdesktop_lock binary...this will stop eventually. I read bugs 2222 & 2230, re kdesktop_lock, I could run a backtrace if that would help and if someone could give directions on howto. I will file a bug with the backtrace. -- Peace, Greg

I might be interested in an implementation but my feeling is - the Banana Pi is more worth to work with. It's nearly as cheap as the Raspberry but is a lot better designed and more powerfull: Raspberry Pi Model B+ Banana Pi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoC Broadcom BCM2835 Allwinner A20 CPU ARM1176JZF-S (700 MHz bis 1000 MHz) ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-Core (1000 MHz) GPU Broadcom VideoCore IV ARM Mali 400MP2 RAM 512 MByte 1 GByte DDR3 DRAM LAN 10/100 MBit/s 10/100/1000 MBit/s GPIO 17 Pins 26 Pins, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN bus SATA 7-Pin-SATA-Port USB 4x USB 2.0 Host 2x USB 2.0 Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CSI Kamera MISC Onboard Micro und IR-Receiver SIZE 85,6 mm x 56,0 mm 92,0 mm x 60,0 mm Price here in Germany: 29 € versus 44 € Gerhard PS: hope the crude table formatting goes through

Hello Now that R14 is released, I presume that the installation (for example for Ubuntu 14.04) are similar to the one found https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall However I propose to add the R14 instructions if possible. regards Uwe Brauer

Hello It seems that apt-file search does not work for the trinity rep. Are there any plans to support it? thanks Uwe Brauer

exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso
by Baron 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi Guys, David, I've downloaded and burnt a CD from exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso. Its fine, checksum matches. So I thought that I would try it as a live CD on this, my usual machine. The CD boots up as I would expect except for a couple of things. After all the boot process, I'm left with a text screen with a list of boot processes, which never finishes. The last item refers to IPV6 and a blank line. Pressing enter gives me a prompt at which if I enter "startx" takes me to a totally black screen. I minute later I get the start screen for "exegnu" as a panel in the top left corner of the screen. After this screen has finished I'm left with the normal taskbar at the bottom and a totally black background. I cannot get anything from any mouse button on this background, I can however access items from the normal menu and the icons on the taskbar. Locating the screen menu items, whilst it allows me to go through the settings, does nothing. Curiously the "Scan rate" box shows zero and is not changable. Everything else seems to function as I would expect. The machine is a 3Ghz intel P4 dual core, 1.5Gb ram, on board 64Mb SIS 661 Graphics, SIS 661FX chipset, SIS 7012 sound, SIS 900 Ethernet. HTH. -- Best Regards: Baron

What about a Trinity Raspberry Pi Raspbian-based image?
by Alexandre 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Hi, I'm thinking about making a Trinity Raspberry Pi image based on Raspbian, mostly because I don't see feature-full ready-to-use images avilable for the Raspberry Pi. All of the available images are very minimal and need some work to get to something interesting. I'm thinking about having all the regular common-use Linux software such as LibreOffice and Firefox, with a full-feature TDE desktop environment. So, I'd like to know if there would be some interest in it, if it worth doing it. Also, how many persons here have a Pi? Thank you! -Alexandre

TDE mirror system upgrades
by Timothy Pearson 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, In response the flood of reported issues pertaining to the TDE mirror system and Debian/Ubuntu update failures I have re-designed the TDE content distribution system. You should notice far fewer, if any, outright 404 failures and/or package inconsistencies. The bad news is that relatively new files are being transferred straight from the TDE servers and you will notice a severely throttled download speed for those files. However, in light of the issues being reported with the previous system this small disadvantage seems far preferable. Debian/Ubuntu users, please test and report back. Thanks!

[trinity-users] Exe GNU/Linux, Jessie, no-systemd
by David Hare 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

A new (experimental) Exe GNU/Linux version exegnu-jessv-20141109.iso is available. It is current TDE R14 on (mostly current and original) Debian Jessie. All *systemd* packages are excluded using /etc/apt/preferences. Recompiled (without *systemd*) libpulse0 (mplayer dep) and dbus are used. Cups version is pinned to 1.7.1-5. A few important packages may be missing or not working properly. There is only me to test it so far, any help appreciated. Updates will follow. http://exegnulinux.net/downloads/jessie/
