[sort of OT] Trinity etc. are damaging Linux
by Lisi 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

I was at a local LUG meeting today and was very distressed that the above view should be expressed, and forcefully. I found it distressing because that is quite some allegation - that we and Mate users and Cinnamon users etc., (all splinter groups) are actually damaging Linux, doing it harm. The fact that we are free to digress and disagree is why I like open source so much. Take away that freedom and we might as well all use Windows. It seemed to me a quite extraordinary allegation. And as I say, I found it personally upsetting. Since Linux without its freedom would not be Linux, nothing would seem to me more terminally harmful to Linux than to destroy that freedom. I am a congenital maverick. I claim the right to remain a maverick and to swim against the tide as much as I like! Lisi

tdebase query
by Mike Howard 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

I'm just building TDE (on fedora 17) and when configuring tdebase it reports; CMake Warning: Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: WITH_SHADOW Anybody any ideas as to why? The option is still in the top level CMakeLists.txt file and I assume still relevant. Cheers, Mike. -- Any question is easy if you know the answer!

openSuSE & TDE
by Thierry de Coulon 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

As no version of Debian would accept my setup on a Laptop, I installed openSuSE (12.1, 64bit). I had left SuSE some years ago because of KDE 4, now I discover that not only have they gone back to Grub Legacy, but there is a one-click install of KDE 3.5 available. Seems the Attachmate ownership rather brings good things... Now, considering that TDE is now a "better" KDE 3.x, will we be seing TDE in the openSuSE reprositories? Thierry

TDE 3.5.13 test build for Mageia 2
by François ANDRIOT 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

Hello, As a Mageia 2 user, I found annoying not to have any usable TDE version. So, I built myself some TDE packages for Mageia 2. These are based on the Redhat packages, which were slightly updated to work on Mageia. For end-user, it means that TDE is already very usable, since it has all updates that Fedora/RHEL already has. For maintainer (me, I guess), it's now possible to build TDE for all RHEL/Fedora/Mageia distributions with an unique procedure. I guess that adding support for Mandriva 2011 will be easy too, since these distributions are very close. For now, I've built tdebase only. To install it on Mageia 2 (x86_64 only, no i386): First, add the repositories: urpmi.addmedia tde-3.5.13-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/x86_64/ urpmi.addmedia tde-3.5.13-noarch http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/noarch/ urpmi.addmedia tde-extras-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mga2/trinity-extras/RPMS/x86_64/ Then, install the tdebase package: urpmi trinity-tdebase And there you go. You should be able to choose a new "TDE" se ssssion in your favorite DM (GDM, KDM, or anything else). Francois

where is kcm gtk
by Felix Miata 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

I installed my first Debian (6.05) in many years a few days ago. Then I added TDE repos to apt sources and installed TDE and set its DM as default. Now I'm in TDE settings looking for a KControl-style way to make GTK apps use KDE fonts, and there isn't one I can find. I looked for a kcm package with dpkg, and had no luck. What do I need to do to make GTK apps use KDE fonts? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

3.5.11 -> 3.5.13.1 Confusion
by Jonesy 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

I'm running a Trinty 3.5.13.1 system that I upgraded from Trinity kde3 Trinity 3.5.11 to/through 3.5.12 -- on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have a need to mess around with kdeglobals and I discovered this: jonesy@nix4:~/.kde3/share/config$ ls -ol `locate kdeglobals` | grep jonesy -rw------- 1 jonesy 7333 2012-05-23 17:29 /home/jonesy/.kde3/share/config/kdeglobals -rw------- 1 jonesy 8744 2012-08-01 20:01 /home/jonesy/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals jonesy@nix4 May of this year is about when I did the Trinity upgrade. Is the /home/jonesy/.kde3/ merely detrius leftover from upgrading from Trinity kde3 3.5.11? I can find nothing in there with a file timestamp past May of this year. What other detrius might there be? This probably explains my past failure(s) to get Autostart to function...

Terminator instead of Konsole
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Aug '12

04 Aug '12

Hi all! I want to use "terminator" as the default terminal emulator. Basicly it works, but when I press "F4" in konqueror, then "terminator" is started in my home directory and not the folder I was looking at in konqeror. Any idea how I can change that? Nik

TDE 3.5.13 test build for Mandriva 2011.0
by Francois Andriot 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hello, after the Mageia 2 build, here are the Mandriva 2011.0 packages for TDE 3.5.13 (I've built up to tdebase for now). Note: you should remove any previous packages from other repositories, in case you already had (I've already seen some attempts to build TDE on Mandriva 2011 in the mailing list). For x86_64: urpmi.addmedia trinity-3.5.13-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/x86_64/ urpmi.addmedia trinity-3.5.13-noarch http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/noarch/ urpmi.addmedia trinity-extras-x86_64 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-extras/RPMS/x86_64/ For i686: urpmi.addmedia trinity-3.5.13-i686 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/i686/ urpmi.addmedia trinity-3.5.13-noarch http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/noarch/ urpmi.addmedia trinity-extras-i686 http://trinity.mangafrance.com/mdv2011.0/trinity-extras/RPMS/i686/ Then, install Trinity's base package: urpmi trinity-tdebase Then you can login through KDM/GDM or anything else, choose the "TDE" session. What else could I say ... it works, that's all ! The first login is a bit long, nothing to worry about. As expected, there is very few work to make the Mageia packages build on Mandriva 2011, so all the remaining TDE packages will be ready very soon. Mandriva users, please try this build and report any issue. Francois
