settings for a 1024x768 monitor that Trinity insists on recognising as 800x600.
by Lisi Reisz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

The main problem at the moment is that I cannot set up KMail because I can't get at the bottom of the window. :-( It is the first time that I have used dvi-d and the Iiyama Prolite E431S has heretofore been recognised well in VGA. I obviously need an x-org file, but am not sure how to achieve this at this stage. TDE 3.5.13.2 on Squeeze, just finished installing and am trying to set it up. NVIDIA GTX 650Ti 1GB Graphics Card. Nouveau is installed. As a pro-tem measure, can anyone remind me how to move a window above the top of the monitor so that I can get at the bottom and click "apply"? :-( Thanks, Lisi

Slávec's tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1
by Patrick Serru 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Happy New Year to all Thank you, Slavek, for this beautiful Christmas gift that was the "tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso". Everyone will have read some bitterness in my reports on the using TDE / Fedora17. I only have good things to say (until now) on installing from the CD Trinity and its operation, until the closing session window, with it's TDE icone! I even thought that I would start my everyday "Oss 11.1" with the Grub freshly installed! But that dream was too deep! So no screen definition problem / unstability ( /-: but I have booted only once). I will probably inhibit SeLinux as soon as possible. With Fedora, things have been much improved after the system updates. But with Ubuntu-12/TDE, I have not found the graphical update tools, the name of which I've forgotten, in the "10.10 TDE enterprise". It seems to me that there were several of these tools. Do I have to do these updates, before continuing migration? Thank you, Slavek, for working on TDE. Patrick Oups: Sent yestuday to trinity-announce at lists.pearsoncomputing.net

My apologies! I had to use Yahoo's web mail for my previous post and I'm not sure the quoting worked as well as it should have. I think Yahoo mail favors Microsoft's top posting scheme. Andy

Text with icons on KMail toolbar. Squeeze + TDE 3.5.13.2
by Lisi Reisz 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Happy New Year, all! A few months ago I saw that it was possible to put text with the icons on the KMail toolbar and breathed a sigh of relief. I could at last move my husband from Icedove (Thunderbird) to KMail, without being cruel to him, and my life would get a whole lot easier. I could finally have him on Maildir not Mbox and could remove the viruses he loves downloading, without destroying half his email. He downloads viruses with gay abandon, and whilst they do not hurt him, he has Windows using friends. I am about to set his new computer up. I am looking at things on my computer to refresh my memory. And the text has disappeared again! I am really sad about this. Does anyone know where it has disappeared to or where I ought to be looking? I hope that the problem is PEBKAC, and thus easily solved with your help. It is KMail 1.9.10 on TDE 3.5.13.2. Please help! I can't face another eternity of trying to protect his friends from viruses on Icedove. I tend to get cowardly and not run a virus check. :-( I have Googled and Googled. I have been Googling for a week or two. :-( He is away, and I want to have it set up properly for him when he gets home on Thursday. Thanks, Lisi P.S. I once found seven little .exe files sitting in his home directory doing nothing!! They were easy to delete. :-)

Problems with Firefox 16.0.2
by Jeff Taylor 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Since installing the recent update to FF 16.0.2, I have been having constant issues. Sometimes as often as 3-4 times a day (other times it works ok for a couple of days at a time), FF will appear as though it has lost all access to the internet. Any tabs that I try to reload will just sit there and spin. 'Top' does not show any processes running out of control, and if I close and restart FF, everything works normally. I have not noticed any pattern to the sites I'm visiting when it stops working. It does not appear to be related to flash content, and sometimes I come back to my computer to see it stuck trying to reload a page, so it appears to lose its connection even when not being actively used. I do not have any proxies or other special setting for my network - it's just a straight connection to the local LAN. I had assumed it was just my computer, but today my wife informed me that she has also been having the same problems for the past week. Both systems are running Ubuntu 11.04 (natty), and all updates have been applied. I can't really work from a new profile because I need my bookmarks and plugins for daily work, and as I mentioned this problem does not immediately show up. However if anyone has other suggestions that I could look into, or if you have run across any other threads from people having similar problems, please let me know.

Re: [trinity-users] Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13

I assume you showed the Debian Squeeze repositories by mistake. So, I trimmed back the URLs, looked around, and went with: deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lucid main However: Err http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu lucid/main Packages 404 Not Found Fetched 22.4kB in 2s (11.1kB/s) W: Failed to fetch http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/… 404 Not Found There is no "/lucid/" under .../trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/ But, there is a "/lenny/", as in: http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lenny/... Very strange. Is there a sub-dirextory naming error there? Would using: deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lenny main be a Real Ugly Hack to proceed? >Or upgrade from 3.5.11 straight to 3.5.13.x. >This would not be a problem. I was afraid that _would_ cause me problems. But having an existing, local desktop Ubuntu 10.04 with Trinity 3.5.13.2 gives me (maybe) the ability to fix any strange problems that might appear -- if I have to give up trying to upgrade to Trinity 3.5.12 Thank you. I am looking for an explanation of that "lenny"... Happy New Year! Jonesy

sound in TDE on openSUSE
by Felix Miata 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Does TDE have a preference for either alsa or pulseaudio? The last 12.2 system I installed TDE on has no sound currently. It has installed currently alsa, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins & alsa-utils, but no pulsau*. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

English language spelling question

> By the way, is it Mom or Mum? English is not my primary language... Je > parle en francais, mais je vis au Canada :) > > Merry Christmas! > -Alexandre Bonjour Alexandre! I didn't see that you ever got an answer to the above question. The answer is that it's both. "Mom" is American and "Mum" is British. I don't know what they use in English Canada. Bonne année et bonne santé de Cincinnati! Tony

Storage Media list in Dolphin
by Alexandre Couture 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi everyone! Anyone who have tried my LiveCD would have seen that when you click on ''Storage media'' in Dolphin, you have to click on refresh to see the list of the drives you can mount. Also, if I do a ''safely remove'' on a usb key, I have to click on refresh to see the drive as unmounted. Ok, I'll admit that there is more important problems than this in the world, but It would be nice to have a kind of auto-refresh in that window. Is this problem caused by the underlying changes in Linux (with DBUS, UMOUNT, HAL, ...) or it is just a small problem in Dolphin? Does the next release of TDE will get better support for that? Happy New Year! -Alexandre
