network issues - tdenetworkmanager
by William Morder 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

Okay, so I appear to have internet again, more or less, but now there's something odd happening with tdenetworkmanager. For the past day or so, since sometime Sunday evening, I have not been able to use internet at all. I keep checking the connection, try out the installation image on a flash drive, just to see if networks are showing up there, but nothing conclusive. Then it occurred to me to start tdenetworkmanager as root, and presto! I can configure it to work, and everything is back to normal; except, I cannot close down the root version of tdenetworkmanager, then return to the non-root version. The non-root tdenetworkmanager, just myself as user, still will not connect. The networks show up, but once I try to connect, they disappear, and I cannot get on at all. This does not seem right. Awhile back I resolved some connectivity issues (been meaning to mention this, but it's an old thread now); I booted into my backup desktop, xfce, started xfce as root, set my local network so that I did not connect automatically, then got out of root, and everything since then ran fine. I returned to my Trinity desktop, and did not think about xfce again, until I had to do some reinstallation. Until these past two weeks, and now again the past day or so, I have not had any network issues. Everything has worked just fine, until we had flooding in our building, and internet was out for nearly two weeks past, up until sometime Friday night or Saturday. Then I had a day or so of my usual internet, then a couple days past where I have these problems just described above. And now this: only able to use the tdenetworkmanager as root. Also, it seems I cannot install or use wicd, which is my usual backup. Does any of this make any sense? Am I losing my mind, or is it the machines that are making me crazy? Bill

Konsole text colors + command line or config file
by Ilya Dogolazky 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Hello ! Is there any way to change the colors used by Konsole in some non-interactive way: either from command like or via some kind of «color set file»? What I want to achieve is: install my favorite colors without editing every single entry on each computer where I use Trinity. Cheers, -- Ilya D.

How to stop Amarok from autostarting?
by Ran Talbott 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

I'm running 14.0.12 on Ubuntu 20.04. Either by accident or by default, I have Amarok installed, and it autostarts on every login. I've never used it, but I might want to someday (I saw a note that it supports some streaming services), so I don't want to just uninstall it. But I don't want it wasting RAM and CPU all the time, either None of the suggestions offered by Google or ChatGPT about autostarting in Trinity match my filesystem hierarchy. How do I find the file that's causing it to autostart so I can edit/delete it? Thanks, Ran

Creating new Gitea tickets
by Leslie Turriff 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Seems to me that I've gone through this before. I logged onto https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/ to create a ticket but there is no Create or Add New button to do so (not in the home page, not in the Issues page). I know I've been able to do it in the past. IIRC there was some sort of setting that had to be altered?

dcopserver starting twize
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hi all! I jus ran into an interesting problem when running inside VirtualBox: I created a installation that works perfectly fine. Then I created a live iso from this installation using refractasnapshot. Booting that iso seads to two instances of dcopserver beeing started --> mouse an keyboard are non operational. When I remove ~/.DCOP* and then "killall dcopserver" then Xorg testarts and I end with a perfectly working TDE. So, does anybody have any idea what causes dcopseerver to spawn twice? Or better said, why $TDEDIR/bin/dcopserver_shutdown in starttde does leave a running dcopserver instance?

Error message concerning kdesktop_lock
by Gianluca Interlandi 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hi! I noticed in the log files an error message from dbus concerning trinity's kdesktop_lock: dbus-daemon[692]: [system] Rejected: destination has a full message queue, 0 matched rules; type="signal", sender="(unset)" ((bus)) interface="org.freedesktop.DBus" member="NameOwnerChanged" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.DBus" (uid=1140 pid=1396 comm="/opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock --internal 1394 ") The error message keeps being repeated every few minutes. The following processs is running: > ps aux | grep 1396 gianluca 1396 0.0 0.0 166644 0 ? S 2023 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock --internal 1394 I am not using kdesktop_lock and what does it mean "--internal 1394"? Is it safe to kill this process and would it then stop the error messages? Thanks!

TDE repositories - keyring, etc. - problems?
by William Morder 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

I seem to be having problems updating my sources.list, so I am wondering if it's just me, or is everybody else having problems, too. I checked the TDE page for repositories, but they're still the same as what I have. Just to complicate matters even more for myself, we have been having big problems with our internet here, due to flooding and damage. For the past two weeks, it has been hard even to send and receive emails. However, last night and this morning, things seem back almost to normal. Today I am listening to online radio while downloading some television news programs, doing other work online. But now my Trinity repositories seem rather uncertain or unstable. Here's the error message I get: W: GPG error: http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x daedalus Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG C93AF1698685AD8B Trinity Desktop Environment Archive Signing Key E: The repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x daedalus Release' is not signed. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. So I tried downloading the new keyring deb package, but I get an error for that, as well: wget -c -t --show-progress --retry-connrefused --no-check-certificate https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb --2024-01-26 09:27:35-- https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb Resolving mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org (mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org)... 37.205.10.16 Connecting to mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org (mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org)| 37.205.10.16|:443... connected.
