Behaviour setting on configure desktop
by Lisi Reisz 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

There is a problem (bug) with the settings for icons, in that I cannot set them. On my own computer they simply don't display, no matter how many settings I tick in the behaviour setting. I rarely use icons so this is a very minor problem. But I am setting up an installation for a client who relies on icons. He will be most upset to have the wrong ones. I go through ticking and unticking the boxes for the various hardware and files, click on "apply", and nothing changes, except that all the settings return to the default. The icons I want to get rid of remain and the ones that I want to show remain stubbornly invisible. Has anyone any suggestions for what I can do about this? Lisi

Help - Live Disk Problem
by David Bell 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Greetings, Having installed TDE successfully on my desktop, using tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso, I have struck a problem with my laptop. Although I have previously installed many other GNU/Linux distros on it the live disk installs happily but won't install to the hdd. The disk was written on the laptop. When I select either the install icon or the item in the menu the CDROM comes to life then stops. A puzzlement! Is there is a command line I could use? Can anyone help me finally escape KDE4 using the live disk please? David W. Devon

Concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU
by Alexandre Couture 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi everyone, I have a few concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU It seems to me that 3.5.13.2 SRU has next to perfect stability, features and reliability, while R14 is not there yet. By looking at this page: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/ , almost all I can see is that the dev team is working very hard to just keep R14 in working conditions. Sometimes Amarok doesn't start, sometimes desktop or menus are unresponsive for a moment, some themes doesn't work completely and it is not like if the user would benefit from a new set of feature or a complete visual overhaul. I cannot see why an user would benefit from using the upcoming R14 when it is compared to the stability of 3.5.13.2 SRU. Everything works as it should in 3.5.13.2. It wolud have been a very good ground for improving TDE on top of it. All of this trouble is supposed to be for the integrations of QT4 parts in TDE, but it seems to me that in R14, it will be used nowhere, not even for a single check-box in a config panel. Maybe it is just me, maybe I would need some explanations. I mean that if the efforts has been made to make TDE more attractive to new users and to modernize it, it would certainly have more popularity. As well as making a new ''outside'' on top of an outdated car is not good, changing everything under the hood and keeping the old outdated ''outside'' is certainly not better at all. I know that TDE could be better, if some attention could be thrown at things that are not just under the hood. Just one man's opinion... Tell us what you think! -Alexandre

Re: [trinity-users] "Improving"/"Modernizing" the Look of TDE Considered Harmful
by William Morder 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Anybody who wants TDE to look more "modern" (like Windoze, iPutz or whatnot), I say -- LET THEM EAT CAKE! The charm of the KDE3 desktop is its simplicity. Keep it simple, and let users configure it themselves. Bill

I edited the cmake & autoconf shell scripts I was using to build in order to remove influential environment variables and configuration options that were not explicitly called for in your build instructions. After doing so, I was able to get past the compiler error, at least for stock 3.5.13.2. I'll try again tomorrow with the current git sources. Although there was nothing obviously wrong with my original scripts (designed on the fly to fix build problems from several years ago), I now believe that these somehow bypassed the tqtinterface to tqt3. The main suspects are the setting of the C*_INCLUDE_PATH environment variables and / or passing an improper explicit -DMOC_EXECUTABLE parameter to the cmake configure script. Thanks for your suggestion, I'm back in operation. Vince

Errors while compiling tdebase
by Vince Reher 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

I have been trying to compile Trinity from source on a relatively current Gentoo system and am running into the following errors: In file included from /offline/1-1/TDE/main/tdebase/kcontrol/tdm/main.cpp:342:0: /offline/1-1/TDE/BUILD/tdebase-3.5.13/kcontrol/background/main.moc: In member function ‘virtual void* KBackground::tqt_cast(const char*)’: /offline/1-1/TDE/BUILD/tdebase-3.5.13/kcontrol/background/main.moc:81:41: error: cannot call member function ‘virtual void* TDECModule::qt_cast(const char*)’ without object and similar errors for tqt_invoke, tqt_emit, and tqt_property. I tried GCC versions 4.7.3, 4.6.3, 4.5.3 and experience the same error. It also occurs regardless of whether I am compiling with current git sources or the Trinity release 3.5.13.2 tarballs I found at http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/releases/3.5.13.2. Anybody else experience this? I tried playing around with the source code (not really knowing what I am doing) to get beyond the error but that just got me linker errors instead. Building TDE had been going pretty smoothly until this.

CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work

after installing trinity, I finally rebooted for something. When I restarted Mint, it came up to a trinity desktop window that said to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to login. but CTRL-ALT-DEL did nothing.. I had to restart in safe mode, run dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity and change it back to MDM. what do I need to do to be able to login with tdm-trinity??? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587
