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

Jessie + R14

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

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! Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Trinity on a Mint base?

by Robert Peters

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? Robert

A little KDE Plasma 5 tour, just for curiosity

by Alexandre

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. -Alexandre

emacs and trinity on ubuntu 14.04

by Leonard T Harris

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. -LTH.
