many thanks to all those who a.) programmed and packaged and b.) held my hand getting downloaded and installed slávek's repository. the kmail certificate issue appears to be resolved. and if i make it clear through the day without the LIST error popping up, i shall consider TDE perfection having been achieved and, therefore, the best of all possible computer desktops having finally arrived! thank you. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Would it be possible to package KBibTeX for Trinity?
by Jan Stolarek 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

I have a very humble request for Trinity developers. There's an application that used to be available for KDE3 but is not available for Trinity - KBibTeX v0.2.3. That application is essential to me at work. Lack of it for Trinity forces me to use an old linux distro with KDE3 on one of my machines so that I have access to that appliaction. Would it be possible to package KBibTeX so that it is available for Trinity? The source code for KBibTeX is available here: http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~fischer/kbibtex/download.html I will be very grateful to anyone who would be kind enough to resolve this! Janek

another kmail issue
by dep 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

well. beyond the hellish problem with tde refusing to believe it when i tell it to accept a certificate forever, which makes interval mail checking impossible, there is the "unable to complete LIST operation" error, which pops up now and again on a daily basis. i've read archives which suppose there is some malformed spam in the inbox causing this. but there isn't. and in due course it tends to go away without any intervention on my part. are there in existence workarounds for these? the patch for the certificate issue i have not been able to make compile -- surely there's a binary for the file involved, somewhere. the LIST issue i cannot find a solution for at all. both are after the upgrade to the current distribution for ubuntu 12.04. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Trinity repository for Debian Wheezy
by Sergey Frolov 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi everyone! I am an old KDE3/Trinity user. Following my own tradition of upgrading ~2 weeks before release I have successfully upgraded Squeeze to Wheezy. In order to minimize exposure to a 3rd-party repositories I gave a try for KDE 4.8.4 and was not impressed. While KDE received much and more neat usability tweaks, my experience with my own usual use cases was mostly frustrating. Now that I checked my options, TDE looks very competitive to a modern full-blown desktop environments. Congratulations and thank you for your effort! So, the question is: when Debian Wheezy repository (of any TDE release) will be ready? Maybe you need help to test one? I am willing to put some effort to get back to TDE by the time of Wheezy release. P.S. Here is an announcement about passing 100RC bugs milestone: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/03/msg00009.html Right now it's 87 and counting: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html Best Regards, Sergey.

crash, kde3, Xserver does not start any more
by Uwe Brauer 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hello I have installed Kubuntu 10.04 with trinity 3.5.11 (I think) on a X60 Thinkpad Laptop. This morning the xerver freezed and I had to reboot, I got a graphical login, could login, kde3 started, however the hard disk was in read only mode. So I rebooted again, this time it took almost 15 min to reboot, a sign that some hard disk problem occurred; (I have the jfs file system.) Anyhow finally the machine booted again successfully, I got a graphical login but now I could *NOT* login, the password was accepted but instead the graphical login screen reappeared. I could login on a terminal though. So I thought maybe the xorg.conf file was damaged. But this Kubuntu version does not have a xorg file anymore, as google told me. So what can I do? (1) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org ??? (2) sudo X -configure? (3) sudo dexconfiure -o xorg.con?? Any help is strongly appreciated, because the only other solution it to try a _complete_ reinstall. thanks Uwe Brauer

Looking for a way to switch back to vanilla theme for the shell
by Alexandre Couture 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hello everyone!I am currently working on a Zenity script to switch between the ''Modern'' theme and the ''TDE Classic'' theme on my PcLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster. I know that many persons here prefer the classic vanilla appearance of TDE and I want to provide this option for these users. While deleting everything in the home folder and restarting the X server works and makes TDE appearance returns to default, it is a little rude and of course, delete every files of the user. Another avenue I have found is to launch ''kcmshell kthememanager'' and then, the user can select the classic of modern theme, but the user still need to select it in a list. Also, it doesn't change back to the ''Trinity Classic'' menu instead the ''KickOff'' menu. Is there a way, from the bash shell, to select a theme named ''Plastik'' in kthememanager without letting having to select it in the list in kthememanager? Also, is there a way to switch between the ''Trinity Classic'' menu and the ''KickOff'' menu from the bash shell? Thank you!-Alexandre
