Linux Mint won't shutdown after installing Trinity
by Rahul Jain 13 Oct '13

13 Oct '13

Hello. I'm a regular user and after installing Trinity with Raring packages in Mint 15, system won't shutdown/restart but hangs at plymouth. Is there a workaround for this because I have to use REISUO to shutdown and REI part doesn't work because for some reason it's disabled. Please help. (I've installed and reinstalled several times and issue occurs only with trinity desktop. I usually install only kdebase-trinity with kmix-trinity and compiz-trinity packages. Thanks.

Set relative path in .directory?
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

I've been archiving files this week-end. I use external drives, IcyDock removable enclosures and several removable discs. Given the price of harddiscs today, I don't loose time compressing, I copy the files into directories, and for some (e.g. pictures) I like to set a directory icon in Konqueror. There are several USB devices connected to my computer, and depending on the situation the enclosure is not mounted on the same mountring point. Maybe I could solve that with UUIDs but it's not worth the trouble. My point is that setting an icon in Konqueror creates a .directory textfile in the directory that contains two lines: [Desktop Entry] Icon=<path-to-the-icon-file> This path is an absolute path, such as /extusb/directoryname/subdirectoryname/iconname If the mount point changes, the icon is not shown. One way to do is to centralize these icons, but then it won't work if I use the enclosure with another computer. To have my directory icons shown correctly, what I do is put the icon in the directory and manually edit .directory to read [Desktop Entry] Icon=./icon.png I was wondering if others have the same "trouble" and if it would make sense to suggest to change these path to relative ones. Have a nice day, Thierry

KIOExec error playing DVD
by Dan Youngquist 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

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. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

save system clock to hardware clock
by Paul Cartwright 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

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?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

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

When I go to logoff the menu selection only says logoff. Not shutdown or restart. How do you add those to the logoff menu?? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

toggle showing desktop stumbles
by Philip Ashmore 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

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

Anyone know what program shows this battery icon in the status bar?
by Philip Ashmore 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

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

Task switching randomness
by Philip Ashmore 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

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

slow down
by Paul Cartwright 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

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: Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.230270] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.243176] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.257043] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.271533] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.285273] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.299263] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.313130] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.327245] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 Sep 19 20:32:56 pauls-server kernel: [43919.341235] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046 D:C52B.00ED: can't reset device, 0000:00:12.2-4.1/input2, status -71 then this: Sep 19 20:33:07 pauls-server mtp-probe: checking bus 1, device 58: "/sys/devices /pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/1-4/1-4.1" Sep 19 20:33:07 pauls-server mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 58 was not an MTP device Sep 19 20:33:11 pauls-server kernel: [43934.494398] hub 1-4:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... then more Sep 19 20:33:23 pauls-server mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 60 was not an MTP device Sep 19 20:33:38 pauls-server kernel: [43961.355985] hub 1-4:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
