Hi all,
The display is very "unstable", and I have, from time to time to
reconfigure the display at 1280x1024. I guess the problem comes from XOrg.
Sometimes there are one or two small windows indicating changes in
definitions, but it is incomprehensible, at least because they overlap (!).
Problems related to the BIOS and memory usage, if I understood
correctly, previously caused the message "Press Ctrl + D to continue" in
console during the system start. If I remenber correctly, the kernel (?)
said that there was some cheksumm error or so, in the block of memory. I
just had now, after a soft restart, to press the hardware "Reset" button
(cold reset) to get out of an endless "memory dump", in the console...
The "Instability" on the definition of the display may come from there,
too, because the hot reset does not give the same results as the cold
reset. I am ready to believe that Grub2 is (again) involved.
I looked phosphorus savers unnecessary for LCD screens, but fun to
watch, a little. I noted that they speak of KDE in "Banner", the default
saver, and "Fireworks" (if I'm not mistaken). After selecting Atlantis
(Open GL), I had to press the "Reset" button on my machine to get out of
the situation. Is it a lack of patience? Too bad "Ctrl + Alt + Backspace"
has been removed for safety reasons, and that any other possibility to kill
X no longer available without disconnecting the computer.
A look at SysGard: I did not find the CPU temperature sensor...
Regarding the language used, the applications of "current" user are in
english. Only "Root" applications are in French. I wanted to try to run:
yum install trinity-i18n-French
as simple user, but of course I did not have the rights, while
SELinux is still "disabled".
Surprised to see a different graphic "style" in a window, I
investigated and found that it was a Nautilus window. I did not know
Nautilus: it is the "Finder" of Gnome! I do not remember how this window
had been opened.
There is an icon in the closing Trinity window. This icon is KDE's.
There's about a second between the graphical opening of a dialogue and
the associated KDE sound!
What should I do for the "Via8237" (in my case) to be selected instead
of "Pulse Audio", in kmix?
Cheers
Patrick

As far as I know older versions of KDE used ~/.Mail newer (or was that always
just a config choice?) use ./KDE/share/apps/kmail/.mail
I believe kmail looks in both locations.

Hi All,
I'm french (nobody's perfect), living in Peru and using usually a
Spanish keyboard, with a french "writing" system. For historical reasons,
the marking of my keyboard is U.S., and this is a chance in the case of
this bug, because, at the time of the "login" (with Gnome, see previous
post), the system interprets the keyboard as U.S.!
Network configuration does not work. I tried
kcmshell [kdeinit] kcm_knetworkconfmodule
in a super-user console, but after validation, a dialog asking to wait
opened, and the situation was infinitly fixed. Now, I have no network.
Hence the question: how does one configure the network from Trinity, a
console and / or from Gnome with Fedora? Note that I did not re-boot after
this problem, so, I dont know if the network configuration is definitively
lost.
More general problems:
At the time selinux was still anabled on the targeted system, I tryed
some "sudo" commands, and it did not work because "user is not sudoers".
How a user that comes from WindOverDose or did never study the use of
selinux can react to this message?
I guess each of you, dear ADVANCED users, had been confronted to a ALMOST
functional system, at the "boot" of a 2.6.33.x kernel (ie). Investigating,
you discovered that it was because the kernel can not insert modules of a
system 2.6.26.x (ie)... I feel that this is the case Grub2! I guess Grub2
loads a kernel (the one of his host system probably) then made his small
business to finally boot which corresponds to the user's selection. Booting
without removing the old kernel. I suppose that because Grub2 only starts
the host system it is installed in! It is then ridiculous, when installing
a distribution, to scan all disks and all partitions, for offering to start
(linux) systems that they contain! Imagine the frustration of a user who
can not re-boot the system he use everyday! Luckily, I boot my everyday Oss
11.1 system from a CD.
There is a more general congruency Linux problem: why the shell does not
interpret "media:/whatever/whatever"?
More generaly, I have some doubts: is there a developer that use the systems
on which he works for everyday?
Please, note that until here, (I think that) the testing on a virtual
system does not help developpers to see these problems...
I have not managed to transfer all my mails from KMail 3.5.10 release
21.13.1 to TDE 3.5.13. Could someone help, please?
Did I dream ??? Konqueror being open on "a hard disk / partition",
that is to say, URL display beginning with "media:", the hidden
directory ".Mail" was not reflected in the list while the directories
named ".m*" (as ".mozilla", for example), appeared! This was not the case
for a Konqueror window with URL displaying "/home/user", for example.
There were true questions in this post:
- how does one configure the network from Trinity, a console and / or from
Gnome with Fedora?
- Is there someone that could help me transfering mails from KMail 3.5.10
release 21.13.1 to KMail TDE 3.5.13?
Thank you. Cheers,
Patrick
Hello
as I wrote some time ago, I have a problem concerning the user managment
in trinity.
So finally I came to the conclusion that I have to purge the trinity
installation completly and
restart a fresh installation afterwards..
Howeven when running
sudo apt-get purge name-of-trinity-pkg
I obtain
Removing ksmserver-trinity ...
No diversion `any diversion of /usr/bin/plasma', none removed
Removing `local diversion of /usr/bin/plasma-desktop to
/usr/bin/plasma-desktop.kde4'
dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/bin/plasma-desktop' with
different file `/usr/bin/plasma-desktop.kde4', not allowed
dpkg: error processing ksmserver-trinity (--remove):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
ksmserver-trinity
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
What can I do?
thanks

Hi All,
Fedora 17 + TDE user.
I created the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop, with the
line:
DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/kdm
The login window was represented 800x600 pixels (or less) and once
completed, it is Gnome that was executed with the correct screen resolution
(1280x1024). Whereas without this line, I have the choice between Gnome and
Tde. Once in Tde, TDE seems to function almost normally.
Cheers
Patrick
--- fr -------------------------
Utilisateur Fedora 17 + TDE.
J'ai créé le fichier /etc/sysconfig/desktop, comportant la ligne:
DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/kdm
La fenêtre de login était représentée en 800x600 pixels (ou moins) et une
fois complété, c'est Gnome qui a été exécuté avec la bonne définition
d'écran (1280x1024). Alors que sans cette ligne, j'ai le choix entre Gnome
et Tde. On fois Tde démarré, TDE semble fonctionner presque normalement.
I just upgraded kdm-trinity
from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1261450+pr19~squeeze
to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax3~squeeze
and also, kdmtheme-trinity
from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1248408+pr1~squeeze
to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax1~squeeze
And now themes do not seem to be working at all.
I also noticed that the rather long and profusely commented
/etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc
was overwritten by kcontrol in admin mode when changing themes
Any suggestions for making themes work again?
Thanks!

Hello everyone,
If someone here have some time for it, it would be nice if the TDE packages repo of François Andriot could be added to the front page of the website. These packages are perfectly stable.
Also, I can resend back the screenshots of my PCLOS TDE remaster in a less compressed way so that they could be added to the screenshot section of the site, if it is considered good enough quality for that. These screenshots can be seen in the November page of this mailing list.
If my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster is considered good enough to be a day-to-day system, as I use it, then it might be good for the Trinity Desktop Environment project to have a link for it (and the Fedora CD too) when you click on the ''Try a liveCD today'' link on the website. The Fedora CD is great, but is is more a LiveCD to try TDE than a fully-fledged desktop system.
Thank you!

Hi.I am running TDE on a Fedora 17, and when I insert a USB device, e.g. an HD, I get the pop-up window asking me what to do with it , but not any icon representing the device on the desktop. Is there a way to enable icons's display on desktop ?
ThanksDaniele Manghi

Is it possible to migrate my basic desktop colour scheme from KDE 3.5.10
to TDE 3.5.13.1. If I cannot then I would have to enter them manually
in the Control Centre. If I can where are my user colour schemes stored
in both versions?

Hi,
I'm currently running KDE3 in openSUSE 12.2, but I'm considering converting
to TDE. The instructions on your download page don't say anything about
migration considerations. Will the configuration information in my .kde
directory be used by TDE after the conversion, and if not, is there a
procedure for importing that data into TDE?
Thanks,
Leslie
