Hi, I just installed ExeGnu on a USB stick, but KDM asks for user and password. I tried everything I could imagine, but nothing worked. Can you help, please? Thanks Jose Tadeu

Problem with tdebase-trinity on amd64 system

by Marc Chénier

I lost my graphical desktop and now have only console access. This happened because I could not update the tdebase package with adept updater; there was always that one package left that could not be updated (something broken). So I thought I could fix this by removing the tdebase-trinity package from my system and then reinstalling the package fresh. So I rebooted and went into recovery mode to a root console and did that with apt-get remove, which also removed 2 other packages: ksmserver-trinity and tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity Then I tried to apt-get install tdebase-trinity (and the 2 other packages) but could not do it because of an unmet dependencies problem for tdebase. About 20 packages are listed that need version pr82 and not version pr80 of tdebase. So I spent many long hours on various forums looking up info and did everything in the book: checked sources.list; did apt-get clean, autoclean, update, upgrade, dist-upgrade; tried apt-get install -f and dpkg --configure -a ; I also tried aptitude install which indicated it was going to install 3 packages but then did not because of unmet dependencies and gave me only one solution: keep the 3 packages at their current version [not installed]. I then thought of looking up the package on the TDE nightly builds website and noticed that superseded version 81 and published version 82 were marked with a red X (build failures) for amd64 systems. Is this relevant to my problem? Does that mean it will be fixed and I just have to wait a while? If not, is there a solution or a workaround so that I can get my faithful TDE desktop back? Thanks ahead for any help Marc TDE 14 (nightly builds) on Ubuntu Precise installed from live TDE-CD on an amd64 board

Indeed the hal daemon was not running on 13.04 and it took some effort to start him, basically following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140324 The crucial point was to create /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe and /etc/hal/fdi/information Then running sudo /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes And then indeed ps aux | grep hald Returns ,---- | | 114 5761 0.6 0.0 125032 4820 ?

If systemd, then do you have consolekit installed? If no, then TDE must be patched to work in a systemd environment without console kit. The problem is user session/process tracking in TDE has not been updated to work with systemd. If you have systemd+consolekit and launch tdm through the old sysV init script, then everything will work through systemd compatibility mode. Without consolekit you have hit bug 1902. In that case, user mount of drives and access to sound may not work. Further, any tdeio processes opened (e.g. http/file/sftp) will not exit when the connection is closed and you will end up with LOTs of tdeio_file, tdeio_http, tdeio_sftp processes running on your box. However, there is a limit to the number of simultaneous processes that can be opened, so you will not run into a memory exhaustion situation. See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1902 This is a known issue and should be fixed shortly. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

TDE depends on xorg

by Greg Madden

I have been trying to find the package or meta-package in TDE that depends (installs) the x-window system, ie xorg. Would it be a good idea to depend on xorg ,or similar, if TDE does not do so ? It is atypical ,afaikt, for most DE to not include the x-window system. Are most ou you installing TDE after installing another DE ? -- Peace, Greg

trinity is not trinity???

by Uwe Brauer

Hi I just saw from the screenshot taken by James Downing that his control center is very different from mine (Kubuntu 10.04 or 13.04). Mine looks more that the one provided by Apple OS X. So I am puzzled: I thought: trinity is trinity? regards Uwe Brauer

A great collection of wonderful wallpapers, which are creative-common licensed

by Alexandre

Hi! Here is a great collection of wonderful wallpapers, which are creative-common licensed: http://www.ravewallpapers.com They are a great addition for your computer, especially if you work in an office without windows to look outdoor. I found it on kde-look.org Maybe it would be a great way to refresh the collection of wallpapers released with TDE, which starts to get a little old. If someone is interested in it, I can choose some of them, so they could be part of TDE R14. Maybe a new default wallpaper could be choosen in that for the upcoming R14? Have a nice day! -Alexandre

Trinity-DE fan blogpost

by Curt Howland

Hi. I realize that this is very much "preaching to the choir", posting this on the Trinity users list, but I thought some of you might like the post I did last night showing how easy it is to install the Trinity-DE system on Debian. http://anarchic-order.blogspot.com/ Criticisms, corrections and caveats gladly received, the comment area is open to all. What's your favorite application or feature in Trinity-DE? Mine is Kmail, by a wide margin. Curt- -- The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage. - Thucydides

kmail index problem

by Thierry de Coulon

Hi all, I have trinity (3.5.13) installed on debian wheezy. I just set up a new machine with the Haswell chipset and copied my installation on the new machine (I used clonezilla for that). As wheezy does not support Haswell, I had to install the 3.12-0.bpo.1 kernel. I also has a small problem setting the time (I mixed up dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyy). Now I get a message every time I start kmail, saying there was a problem with the indexes. kmail recreates the indexes and does work, but it does not cure the problem (I also deleted all indexes, *.index and *.ids, but it does not help either). the permissions seems ok (644) and the owner is right. Anyone has an idea what's going on? Thierry
