problems with xmodmap and international keyboards
by Uwe Brauer 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

<#secure method=smime mode=sign> Hello Using a thinkpad X61 Laptop I am on Kubuntu 10.04 with trinity 3.5.10 (I think), my environment language is (US) english. Now I want to bind the control key to hyper (and capslock--> control and win-->super) I do this with the following xmodmap file keycode 133 = Super_L NoSymbol Super_L keycode 134 = Super_R NoSymbol Super_R keycode 37 = Hyper_L NoSymbol Hyper_L keycode 66 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L add Mod4 = Hyper_L That works nicely. However when I change the keyboard, from US english say to Spanish or German via the trinity/KDE interface, the hyper binding is gone. I execute xmodmap again, with the above configure file and xev tells me that the binding is as expected but when I type it is not. So I have to restart the Xserver execute xmodmap and then everything is fine again. Anybody can help me with this issue?

how to restart the Xserver
by Uwe Brauer 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hello Sometimes by key binding does not work any more (I will report this in a different mail), and I have to "restart" the Xserver by logging out and in. Is there a simpler method for restarting the Xserver? thanks Uwe Brauer

Nightly Ubuntu LiveCDs now available
by Timothy Pearson 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

After a long delay, automated nightly builds of Ubuntu LiveCDs with TDE R14 are now available at http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/ These LiveCDs offer a convenient way to test TDE R14 (or the current development branch) without risk of damaging your existing installation. They are currently experimental, however shortly after R14 is released an official LiveCD will be released from this autogenerated CD set. Therefore, if you want to help the offical LiveCD quality, please download the latest ISO, test it, and report any defects to the bugtracker. Enjoy! Tim

[trinity-users] TDE broken in Debian Sid
by David Hare 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

I have run TDE in Sid before with good success. At the moment it will not install because of newer binutils (which will probably appear in Jessie very soon). Most likely an existing TDE will break on dist-upgrade > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > kdesktop-trinity : Depends: binutils (< 2.23) but 2.23.52.20130612-1 > is to be installed > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > libr0 : Depends: binutils (< 2.23) but 2.23.52.20130612-1 is to be > installed Downgrading binutils causes lots of other things to be removed. This is the case with 3.5.13.2 also nightly builds (R14) Any solutions? David

tray icon showing battery state
by Stefan Endrullis 08 Jun '13

08 Jun '13

Hi Trinity fans, I recently upgraded my Ubuntu system to "precise". Thereby package kde-guidance-powermanager-trinity got removed, because it depends on python-qt3 which is not available in precise. So I lost my battery charging information in the system tray. Does anybody know a good alternative for this icon? Any program that provides a tray icon that can be used in the kicker? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Stefan

Wheezy repo?
by Jan Stolarek 27 May '13

27 May '13

I have a short question: when can we expect Trinity repostories for Debian Wheezy? Will there be a repo for R13.1 or will we have to wait for release of R14? Janek

another little issue
by dep 22 May '13

22 May '13

greetings. i was given a used but fairly recent (though it still said "ibm" not "lenovo") desktop machine with a 1024x768 lcd, which i thought i would fix up for a disabled neighbor. it has XP on it, but my neighbor used to program in C and so i thought i'd make it a dual-boot machine. it has two 3gHz pentium processors and a batch of memory. it's old enough that i figured i'd put trinity-ubuntu 10.10 on it. i boot from the CD, and i get the usual dab of text messages during boot, but then -- nothing. screen goes and stays dark, in auto-sleep. machine and monitor work fine on windows side, but i can't get trinity to install. i can go ahead and give it to him with windows, but would rather offer both, because he'll like linux better. ideas? -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

strange keyboard issue
by dep 21 May '13

21 May '13

hello, good people. this is not a new issue, but it's a continually annoying one, so i thought i'd bring it up in case someone knows an easy fix. i am here at the office running a thinkpad in a docking station, with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. the keyboard is attached via a usb adapter and mostly works fine. when i use a plain old bog standard keyboard, all is well but for the fact that every so often, unpredictably as far as i can tell, it stops accepting input and the keyboard lights flash for a couple seconds, then it works again just fine. any characters typed in during that period, though, are lost. this is not a problem when i use a trusty old ibm model m keyboard. here, the issue is different. as long as i'm in console mode, no X or framebuffer or anything running, all is well. but when X starts, no keyboard input is accepted unless and until i unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. then all is well. this is consistent across several model m keyboards i have tried, so it's not a keyboard or cord issue. something happens when it goes into graphical mode that makes it think it doesn't have a keyboard. i suspect that there is a configuration switch somewhere that will fix this, but i can't find it. anyone know? thanks, and i hope this wasn't terribly o/t. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Kmail issue
by Greg Madden 21 May '13

21 May '13

TDE 3.5.13.2 Wheezy amd64 I reply to an email, I use 'smart quoting' Actually editing new emails same issue. Highlighting text to be deleted does not work reliably... the hightlighted text does not stay hightlighted. It takes a few tries to get the text to stay highlighted so I can delete it, very annoying. Anyone else see this behavior? -- Peace, Greg

How to configure ssh-agent with Trinity?
by Jan Stolarek 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi, I'd like to use ssh-agent with Trinity, but I can't figure out how to do it. Right now I'm running ssh-add manually to unlock the keys after logging in. What I would like to have is typying the ssh passphrase the first time it is required and have that passphrase unlock the keys in ssh-agent). How could I do that? Janek
