Help on help-list
by Patrick Serru 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi all, I post a lot of requests for assistance on this list, but got few answers. A developer can tell if the observations at the origin of requests (possible bugs), ot the questions themself are followed by effects within the TDE team or other groups of developers? In other words: is it useful if I waste my time sending smoke signals on this list??? <troll> How dreamer I am! In 199x, I dreamed that the beginning of the end of Windows would be in 2000, replaced by Linux. But maybe next year... :-) My recent experiences show me that Linux is far from convincing the current Windows users to join. TDE is (for me) the best desktop alternative, but there are so many installation problems! My recent experiences show me that Linux is far from convincing the current Windows users to join. </troll> Thank you Patrick

Review of Trinity in Linux Format
by ant 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

You may be interested to know that Linux Format magazine January 2013 issue (number 166) has a (generally) very positive review of Trinity compared to four other desktops. Finishes with: " a note-perfect reimplementation of KDE 3 ... full of features ...looks good ... tons of software ... . If you don't think you like KDE, try Trinity and there's a good chance it will change your mind." cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 6, desktop trinity-KDE. This email is plain text, not HTML. Any attachments are either .jpeg or .pdf

kmail issue Wheezy nightly builds
by Greg Madden 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Debian Wheezy, TDE nightly builds Kmail/Kontact starts ok. When I use the 'configure Kmail' in the Settings menu Kmail dissappears, no warnings, crash reports. I can setup Kmail using the 'configure Kontact', Kmail section, tool. No Kcrash reports but I get this from a terminal: kmail: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/libkmailprivate.so: undefined symbol: _ZN13KCMultiDialog9addModuleERK8TQStringb -- Peace, Greg

Bug report in TDE general UI and in K3B
by Alexandre Couture 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hi everyone, On TDE 3.5.13.1, when I go in a open/save file dialog, if i move between the files with the arrows on the keyboard, some items are always jumped, and when you press the down arrow and the highlighted file is the last in that column, depending on the files in that directory, it either go on the next column, as it should or it go to the top of the same column. I know that some persons will say that it is just a small papercut bug, but it wasn't present in KDE 3.5.x Also, when I want to create an audio CD from mp3 file in K3b, when I drag the mp3 file in the lower part of the screen, where the songs goes, I get an error message saying: ''Problems while adding files to the project.'' ''Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format'' Then, it says that I could go in another program to convert the files in WAV manually before adding them to K3B. This bug doesn't exist in KDE (3.x.x and 4.x.x) and I remember very well using this function of K3B back in 2006-2007, on KDE. The necessary codecs are installed and the bug can be reproduced very easily on my PCLOS livecd available on this website. It looks like a small papercut bug, but it is something that block me from using TDE on my main computer and in my opinion, K3B is the best burning app on linux, so using another program is not much an option here. Thank you in advance for your hard work on TDE! -Alexandre

Preparing updates for 3.5.13
by Slávek Banko 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hello everyone, since the release 3.5.13.1 enough time has elapsed, and so we have included the first set of patches for a future release 3.5.13.2. Final version release date is not yet determined. Those who continue to use my PPA probably already have the update installed. Here is a detailed list of backported patches: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2… Along with the update packages I also again expanded the number of supported distributions for stable branch - after earlier announced Ubuntu Quantal now are also available packages for Debian Wheezy. https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… Please test it :) Comments and suggestions welcome. Happy New Year to you wishes Slavek --

Icon themes for TDE
by Alexandre Couture 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi everyone! I wanted to share 2 icon themes for updating the look of TDE: -Crystal SVG Updated http://www.filefactory.com/file/2sm4lju0j1ap/n/crystalsvg_zip This icon theme comes from PCLOS MiniME 2008 (KDE 3.5.x). I don't know if it is an official update of the old Crystal SVG or a theme made by the PCLOS team, but it is a more modern version of it. -Oxygen for KDE3 http://www.filefactory.com/file/5w394u74iua9/n/oxy-tde_zip This is the theme used in my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster. It comes from kde-look.org I personally think that keeping the old Crystal SVG theme as the default theme is not good for the TDE project. The people who haven't used TDE will think that it is always the same old project as KDE3. It just looks too old and of course, the more actual Oxygen icon theme will go this way one day or another, but as of now, I think that it would be a good idea for TDE to use Oxygen or another icon theme, at least this updated version of Crystal SVG. The same idea goes with the general theme. We aren't used to the ''vanilla KDE 3.5.10'' these days. Themes with big lines separating GUI elements aren't used anymore and even during the KDE 3.5.x days, almost no distros used the default theme. This is just my personal opinion... -Alexandre

Hi All, The KMix window offers VIA8237 or PulseAudio as mixer in a popup menu. The default value is PulseAudio. How can I fix it to VIA8237 by default, please? Thank you Patrick
