Good distro for 586 computer
by Alexandre Couture 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi everyone! I might not write it at the right place, but here is my question: I bought on EBay a Compaq TC1000 convertible tablet pc at a low price. It has a Transmeta Crusoe TM5800 1ghz CPU and I installed +-360mb of ram on it. The trouble is that this CPU emulates a 586 cpu only... ...and most modern distros are 686 and up... I tried Mageia and even if it is supposed to be 586, it causes kernel panic. I also tried Debian 7.2 and it works at least partly, but as in the Debian way of doing things, it asks me to go online to fetch the driver I'd need to go online... Grrr! Does someone here know of a good distro to use (or that actually boots) on a 586 CPU? Thank you in advance! -Alexandre

You have a folder ~/.trinity/share/apps/kwinrulesrc?
by Slávek Banko 23 Oct '13

Hello Darrell, everybody, I noticed that skrit r14-xdg-update solved renaming kwinrulesrc in ~/.trinity/share/apps instead of ~/.trinity/share/config (I've had it on my computers). In commit 37e840ac I tried to fix it. However, as I subsequently noticed script expecting in the 'apps' folder 'kwinrulesrc' but on my system I have in the 'config' file 'kwinrules'. Please, have anyone kwinrules as a folder in ~/.trinity/share/apps or only exists a file in ~/.trinity/share/config? Thanks, Slavek

konqueror settings disapear
by Frank Lienhard 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

Hi List, I installed kde-trinity and was about to configure konquerors file settings. The goal was to show previews of the picture of an inserted sdcard. Somewhere I tried to switch the file assosiation tothe embedded viewer. From that point on I don't get the settings menu anymore. If I open it via settings- configure konqueror I get a window with no content and a title "empty page". Any advice how to debug that? It's a debian wheezy, from which I try to run konqueror inside a LXDE session, many because TDE isn't starting at all... (getting a logout while/after TDE ist initializing peripherials)

Hello. compiz-fusion-icon package in raring (Ubuntu) is broken and doesn't install. However compiz fusion starts up fine through the Desktop Effects dialog and I get wobbly windows and everything.

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 02 Oct '13

02 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
