I'm trying to make a DVD play in vlc when inserted. The command line is set
to 'vlc /dev/dvd', which works perfectly in XFCE, but in trinity it results
in an error box with title 'Error - KIOExec' and contents '/media/cdrom0 is
a folder, but a file was expected.' Clearly I'm missing something, but I
have no idea what. Any hints?
Thanks.

I am not at all sure this is a Trinity issue, it could very well be
Ubuntu problem.
I was working on the logout issue, since I was running lightdm instead
of kdm-trinity. NOW when I tell it to reboot, it hangs going down and
the last message on the screen is:
save system clock to hardware clock.
a CTRL-ALT-DEL just cycles the last 4 items and it goes right back to
sitting at that error message.
So then I just have to hard power down using the SWITCH.
any suggestions??

Happy I could help. Actually was "Display Manager" and not "Window Manager",
typo.
Have a nice day,

When I go to logoff the menu selection only says logoff. Not shutdown or
restart. How do you add those to the logoff menu??

Hi there.
I've got <ctrl><alt>D set up as an alternate for "toggle showing desktop".
I have the wallpaper set up in slide-show mode - lots of pictures.
So when one comes along I like (kicker is translucent), I <ctrl><alt>D
to see it.
I tried holding down <ctrl><alt>D to see how quickly the desktop redraws
and it flickered a few times before all the apps disappeared, after
which pressing the key-combo had no effect - the desktop background was
permanent.
I could click on the apps in kicker to bring them back individually.
Is this a bug?
Regards,
Philip Ashmore
Hi there.
I took a snapshot of the one I mean (attached).
I think it belongs to a battery status monitor for another desktop and
I'd really like to get rid of it as it's right next to the Trinity one.
Thanks in advance,
Philip Ashmore
Hi there.
Every once in a while, my task switching routine (edit in Kate, compile
in Konsole, debug in another Konsole session over ssh) gets disrupted
when some random window I have in the background gains focus when I alt-tab.
I guess it's meant to remind me that I have other windows open, but I'd
rather it didn't do that.
Is there a way to turn it off?
Thanks in advance,
Philip Ashmore
so I was using email and clicked on a link last night. the chrome
window came up, I started to move my mouse to the window, and the mouse
froze.. for about 10 seconds, I moved it and it froze again. After a few
rounds of this I went to a terminal window to see what is going on. I
did my usual"sudo su" and typed in my password.. came back invalid..
after 3 times doing this ( usuing the same password I just logged in
with) it locked me out.
So I logged out, logged in with XFCE4, ran another terminal, and was
successful doing the same sudo su command. Today I am logged back in
with no problems SO far..
looking at syslog I see... about that time:

I recently upgraded to 3.5.13.2 and discovered the SAK.
Since then I *sometimes* have big issues after waking up from s2ram on
my laptop: the alt+ctrl+del does not work at all and I cannot login to
my session anymore.
The problem looks like random.
Any clue for that? (I spent one hour searching the list with no
success)
