Problem adding a user
by Dan Youngquist 10 May '13

10 May '13

Hi all, This is on a machine running David Hare's Exe Debian Wheezy respin. When I add a user, the new user doesn't show up in either the user list in Kuser, or on the login screen. It does create a home directory, but it doesn't add the user to the extra_groups from adduser.conf. The new user can login to TDE at the login screen, but the first-run wizard runs at every login. I tried adding the user with kuser and from a shell with adduser, with the same result. I ran out of time and had to leave, but later realized I should've checked ownership on the new home directory. Before I go back and try again, can anyone offer any other suggestions? I tried it on another machine with Exe installed from the same CD with, I think, the same set of other stuff (multimedia etc.) installed, and everything worked fine. Thanks, Dan -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Odd printing behaviour !
by Baron 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Guys, I am using PCLinuxOS from the image that Alexandre Couture created and have discovered an odd printing behaviour. If I click on print from any PDF or Image it prints OK first time. If I then try to print a second copy or close the application and try to print something else the print dialogue comes up frozen. If I click on exit a few times it will tell me that "Kprint" is not responding and give me the opertunity to terminate it. After this I cannot print anything at all without restarting the machine. However when I get back to the desktop, I get the message that there is no default printer and to use the "--all" switch. ?? Clearing the error message allows me to continue as normal. Untill I print something. I have tried the various dialogues but seem unable to find or access my printer. Don't laugh, I'm still using my HP Deskjet 500 MK1 from over thirty years ago. I long as I can keep refilling the cartridge with ink it will continue to be in use ! Thanks guys: -- Best Regards: Baron

konqueror and system:/
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi all! Could somebody plese check if this happens not only to me: - plug in a USB stick - copy a konqueror web archive (*.war) to that stick. - unplug the stick - plug it in again - konqueror opens the stick at system:/media/sdb1/ - klick on the web archive - konqeror gives an error message about being not able to open the file. - replace system:/media/sdb1/ with /media/disk/ and it works. If it happens to others than me, then I'd like to ask why trinity uses the system:/ - url and not the actual mount point of the device. When I press F4, I get a shell at /media/disk/, not system:/media/sdb1/. Is there a way to make konqueror do the same, i.e. use the actual mount point? Nik

Trinity Wheezy libr0?
by Mike Bird 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

tdm-trinity 4:14.0.0-0debian7+r693+pr37~wheezy from the nightly builds depends on libr0, which apt-get can't find in Wheezy. Can anyone offer a hint, or is it too soon to be testing Trinity for Wheezy? Thanks, --Mike

by Greg Madden 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Current Wheezy, TDE R14 I get a login screen on a boot/reboot. After entering user/passwd the session comes up then crashes. This is happening on my workstation , vm's that I test R14 with are okay, laptop install ok. The one thing that has happened to my work station is a power outage and a ups failure, powered off not shut down. Any file corruption that could cause this behavior? -- Peace, Greg

kwalletmanager not working
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all! I have just reinstalled Debian wheezy (64bit) + TDE (slavecs repository). The only thing I cannot get to work is kwalletmanager: - kwalletmanager is running (icon in systray). - klick on icon gives an empty window. - "new wallet" does nothing. So, any idea how I could get this thing working? I would really like to add my old wallet. Nik

Konqueror FTP issue
by Dan Youngquist 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all, When uploading, konqueror will send the whole file (every last byte), then sit there forever with the status window open. It does this maybe 80% of the time, and works fine the other times. Any ideas how to fix it, or should I file a bug report? This is on David Hare's Debian Wheezy respin. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

We normally want to see links to the latest source tarball of a particular software package in a request for packaging bug as well. This process ensures that we a.) do not overlook a request and b.) that we can find the source files when the request is being worked on. Thanks! Tim Hi, Tim: The main dependency required by tork is kdelibs4c2a (along with some others that go along with it). This is already in Trinity, but doesn't work with tork, because something like tork-trinity (I presume) is needed. It seems that the tork package would also fit into these two pages, am I correct? http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7 http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411 There is also another page marked as resolved: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148 A quick search shows that there are some other packages affected by this dependency problem. I've added my comment to these pages, and also filed a bug report requesting package tork-trinity. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1479 Not sure if I'm doing this right, but if not, somebody can tell me what they need. Bill (a.k.a., Enkidu)
