TDE on Arch - kicker config window empty and no Shutdown option.
by John Watson 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Hello all. This is my first post on the list. Can I start by saying I have only just heard of TDE and I am very happy. For me this DE is one the best today. But one or two issues are stopping me from switching to it permanently. My first problem is this: When I right-click on kicker panel and select Configure Panel, in the new window that opens I only see options for configuring Taskbar (in the left column). Nothing for Appearance or kicker position on the screen. Can anyone help? My second problem is: I do not see any option in the menu for Shutdown, Suspend or Hibernate. I only see Logout. I have enabled the options in kcontrol. Sorry if this post lacks detail but I am sending it from Cinnamon Desktop, so I can't be more detailed. Thanks to all those involved in developing this DE!

Timeout for "mirror.ntmm.org"
by Patrick Serru 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi All, Finaly, Fedora 17 looks good to me, now, with selinux disabled (-: for the moment!), my graphic card & screen are all OK. Aside from the fact that my keyboard is not considered as Spanish by Gnome (very nice for the login!). I installed until TDE, the command: # cd /etc/yum.repos.d ; wget http://ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/… was OK. But # yum install trinity-desktop Modules complémentaires chargés : langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit trinity-3.5.13 | 2.7 kB 00:00 Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f17/trinity-… error was 12: Timeout on http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f17/trinity-…: (28, '') Erreur : Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: trinity-3.5.13-noarch Does it only mean that I should try later? Can someone tell me, please, if once installed TDE, a simple: # cp .kde/* .trinity will be enougth to translate my kde3.5.12 settings to TDE? Thanks. Patrick

I wasn't going to pursue it on the list since it is OT but I am quite stuck. autoconf was working fine but the move to qmake seems to have hosed debugging but only for some variables - ones defined within the method are visible but not ones defined as global to the file. I assumed it must be something with the object files but I've tried all kinds of variations of: -g -gstabs -gdwarf-2 -ggdb -ggdb3 -g3 -O0 I thought it might be the linker so I also tried -rdynamic My build options for the subproject src are indeed debug (and this does seem to automatically add the -g and -O0 but also adds a -DQT_NO_DEBUG - which I have manually removed - no luck there either and the one particular variable I was trying to see was simply an int). I then went so far as to dig out an old autoconf Makefile from version control backup and copy in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to replace the ones in the qmake generated Makefile and rebuilt. No luck there either. I get the same problems in ddd even when telling it where to find the object files. I thought it might be because the paths are different now - the binary is in ../bin/spm instead of /usr/local/SPM/bin/spm and the build files are in ../build instead of ../debug/src so I put everything back the old way where the build files are in the src directory as well as the target binary. That didn't work either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am a programming ignoramus and just taking my best guess at how to fix this. At this point, I am out of cards to play :( Thanks - John > > > >

More KDevelop woes
by John A. Sullivan III 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, all. I'm still doing occasional battle with maintaining old Qt3 applications using KDevelop in Trinity 3.5.13.1 on Squeeze. When I start KDevelop, I am asked to select a TQt3 directory which must have an include directory containing tqt.h. On my system, tqt.h is in /usr/include/tqt. However, the dialog does not like that path or any parent along that path. What should this entry be? This may be related to another problem. I am having problems running the debugger in this qmake application. It often fails to find and evaluate variables. Thanks - John

Mouse cursor shape problem
by ant 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

The shape of my mouse cursor has been changed by a program, from the normal TDE shapes to a strange vertical bar 60 pixels long. Any ideas on how I get it back to normal? 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

Ark doesn't support extracting multi-part zip files
by Alexandre Couture 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hello everyone, Ark from TDE and from KDE (4.8.3) can't extract a multi-part zip file. I wanted to know if it is a bug or if it is just a missing feature. I will upload soon my PCLinuxOS TDE to filefactory.com and since they have a size limit of 400mb, I will split my 1.5gb .iso file in 4 parts by zipping it in a multi-part zip archive. Q7Zip, File-roller, PeaZip support extracting these archives, so I wanted to know if it is normal that Ark doesn't support it? Maybe it could be a feature in the next TDE release? KDE don't even have it... -Alexandre

OpenSUSE 12.2 Step by Step Installation
by Eren 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi, I just want to install TDE to my minimal installation of OpenSUSE 12.2. I installed minimal OpenSUSE without X however, I installed minimal X and Trinity but, when I edited the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager to kdm and windowmanger to startkde it didn't start. Hence, when I looked at /opt/trinity/bin/ inside I saw kdm and startkde. If someone installed TDE to OpenSUSE 12.2, will tell me to steps after installing and configuring minimal OpenSUSE? Sincerely, Eren

SED and PAM
by Kate Draven 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi I know this isn't exactly a Trinity-centric question but it will eventually apply to it as I switch from KDE3 to TDE. So please bare with me. Does anyone have any experience with SED and PAM? I need to replace the default admin user (arklinux) with 2 new users. I normally use sed -i -e 's,arklinux,NewUser,g' /etc/pam.d/* to change the admin user in PAM. How to a pose it so it adds two more users? thanks Kate

TDE no longer opens after upgrade
by Ken Heard 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have TDE 3.5.13 installed in a Debian Squeeze box. Today I ran "apt-get update" and then "apt-get -upgrade", whereby some 350 packages, including many Trinity packages were upgraded. Soon after I shut down the box. Later I opened it again, but the desktop environment (terminal F7) did not appear. Instead, terminal F1 opened with the login bang. I did however notice in the text which screened by just before the bang appeared a line reading "Starting K display manager : kdm-trinity. I was able to log in as root and as a user; so access to all files was possible, but applications requiring a display would not open. While logged in as route, running startx opened a generic desktop in F7; but I did not know what to do from that point to open a user. Clearly something got broken in the upgrade, but I don't know exactly what or how to fix it. Can anyone tell me what to do to get the desktop back?
