kmail, TDE, openSuSE 12.3, top posting
by Thierry de Coulon 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hello all, I just installed TDE on openSuSE 12.3. Things run fine, however I noticed that kmail now top-posts !?! I've tried modifying the templates, but nothing happens. I guess the changes are not being written/read? It's setup in kmailrc? It was OK before, but then I was running KDE 3.5.10 so... Thierry

Making work a theme made for the old pixmap theme engine of KDE 2
by Alexandre Couture 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Hi everyone! I'm currently looking at making work a pixmap-based theme on TDE 3.5.13.2 From what I could understand, during the KDE3 era, pixmap-based themes were deprecated and replaced by programmed themes, which are not based on lots of small images, as it was in KDE2. But, they are said to still work on KDE3. The point is not especially to use this theme, but to try to create a new one. Here is the URL of the theme I'm trying to make work on TDE: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=153&forumpage=16 I adapted the path in the install script to make it point to the TDE folders and I followed the readme file, but the theme appears without its images, which makes it useless and not working... Is there someone here who would know how to make it work on TDE? Thank you in advance! -Alexandre

Calendars and IMAP
by ant 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Korganiser suggests: "Calendar on IMAP Server via KMail... Most IMAP servers can be used to hold calendar and address book resources, allowing you to use access your data from just anywhere! " Has anyone tried this recently? If so, how does it work? I have tried all the obvious things, and looked at kolab, which is way more powerful than what I want to do. All I need is a calendar that can be synced to the korganiser calendar. Suggestions? cheers anthony -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 7, desktop trinity-KDE.

Fedora 17 Package Conflicts

Recent Fedora 17 yum updates are failing. Failure report reads: file ...(various files)... from install of trinity-hal-info-20091130-1.fc17.noarch conflicts with file from package hal-info-20090716-4.fc17.noarch files affected include: .../10freedesktop/ 10-laptop-panel-hardware.fdi 10-modem.fdi 10-usb-card-readers.fdi 10-usb-music-players.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-acer.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-asus.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-hp.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-ibm.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi 20-vidio-quirk-pm-sony.fdi 30-keymap-hp.fdi 30-keymap-misc.fdi The trinity-hal-info package is nominally from the repo: trinity-3.5.13-noarch The hal-info package is nominally from the repo: trinity-extras-noarch There is also a disconnect between Fedora Release values: hal-info reports as Release 4.fc17; trinity-hal-info reports as Release 1.fc17. Note there are crossconflicts in both file size and date, so I hesitated to just pick one. Problem is not occuring on current Scientific Linux updates. Don't know if this affects other Fedora versions. If its not a quickfix, any suggested workarounds would be appreciated. Thanks for Trinity Really Really Thanks JohnSG

TDE 3.5.13.2 login loop
by iadest 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hi, I'm a TDE user since v. 3.5.13, it's a very good desktop environment as it's configurable, fast and efficient in everyday tasks. Recently I decided to upgrade my Debian notebook (Dell D430 2x1.33GHz 64bit, 2GB RAM, 60GB HDD) to TDE 3.5.13.2. To do this I formatted entire HDD and installed Debian Wheezy NetInstall (amd64) from USB drive. Except typical problems with black screen in console (Intel 950) everything went OK. After installing TDE and rebooting it launched normally. I configured it as I like: turned sound notifications off, tweaked window decoration to KDE2, icons to KDE2 and added cut/opy/paste/Terminal here buttons to Konqueror's toolbar, disabled ctrl-alt-del at log in. Installed Geany IDE and KNeMo to see utilization of network connections, activated KNeMo to display icons. After rebooting it doesn't start properly. It gets to proper login screen, when I log in it waits for few seconds using hard disk, then screen turns black and back to wallpaper, login window appears again. This happens in a loop. Here's a log from .xsession-errors I pulled from console mode. It looks like segfault appears during setting paths. Xsession: X session started for mcbx at pią…, 26 lip 2013, 00:48:00 CEST localuser:mcbx being added to access control list [startkde] Starting startkde.

Some Mageia package depend on packages older than those installed...
by Thierry de Coulon 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hello all, I've been trying again to install TDE on Mageia 3 (following the install instructions). Most of it seems OK, but the install fails with a message saying some packages can't be installed because they depend on packages older than those installed. The packages in question are trinity-perld-dcop, trinity-tdebindings and trinity-desktop. However, I've noticed that links, when installing software from Mageia, contain a directory "cauldron", and uname -a returns an "mga4" element. I associate "cauldron" with a development version, am I right? So could it be that I somehow got a development version of Mageia? The md5 hash of my DVD is not the same as that given on the mageia site ?!? I am re-downloading a fresh image from Mageia 3 now, but if anyone has more knowledge about Mageia than me, I'd be happy for any information about the version I should install for TDE... Regards, Thierry

3.5.13.2 coming soon
by Slávek Banko 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi all, who are using my PPA with preliminary packages for stable branch 3.5.13.x, note that you can expect in the coming days massive update. Currently I am uploading packages with the final version 3.5.13.2 to build. Since the speed of buildes is different for each platform, you may encounter occasional inconsistencies - in this case, simply wait for the update. Complete list of changes since version 3.5.13.1 can be found on wiki: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2… A complete set of package builds for these versions distributions: + Debian 6.0 - Squeeze + Debian 7.0 - Wheezy + Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid + Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick + Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty + Ubuntu 11.10 - Oneiric + Ubuntu 12.04 - Precise + Ubuntu 12.10 - Quantal + Ubuntu 13.04 - Raring The official announcement of the new version will follow after the completion of build and subsequent publishing packages on the mirror. Thank you for your patience. Slavek

Testing TDE R14
by Alexandre Couture 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello, I would really like to do more testing of TDE R14 nightly builds on Ubuntu 13.04, but the TDE servers seems to be completely overwhelm since a few week, especially since Ubuntu nightly builds LiveCDs are available. When I want to update to the latest nightly build, it downloads at less than 56k Internet speed, so I often have to cancel the download because I don't want to wait for 15 hours for a it. Is there some ways that could be considered to make faster the TDE servers? In the list of distros where nightly builds are available, I see completely outdated versions of linux distributions. Is it still necessary to build nightly builds for obsolete versions of Ubuntu, as an example? Also, maybe a weekly Ubuntu nightly build LiveCD could be enough for its purpose, making the TDE servers save on bandwidth and improve its performance. Thanks! -Alexandre
