Not everyone, particularly Debian users, wants sudo globally enabled.
There are numerous kdesu bugs, possibly related. I posted another only
today.
This issue has been my most major usability annoyance with TDE from the
beginning and till today was unresolved.
I just found, quite by accident, this one, titled "startkde (starttde)
needs updating"
http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675
The solution (for 3.5.13, in /opt/trinity/bin/startkde) is simply:

< echo "[startkde] User ID is $UID. Setting KDEROOTHOME to $KDEHOME."
< export KDEROOTHOME=$KDEHOME

I could before not even change the clock without getting root-owned
files in ~. Now, no more dcopserver crashes. Gksu, sux and su-to-root -C
work. I can set a different appearance for root instances of
kwrite,konq,..
Not fully tested yet but good so far.
If Darryl reads this, thanks enormously.

Hi all,
I would like to know how to install libjpeg turbo on Debian Squeeze and on
Ubuntu lts 10.04.
For Ubuntu, i have see a package but how to active it. I don't know how to
use dpkg-divert.
And i have also a package for Debian :

Hello,
I'm trying to install Trinity Desktop into my workstation but when I run
the yum install it fails because a lot of packages are not found.
I opened the
http://mirror.ets.kth.se/trinity/trinity/rpm/el5/trinity-3.5.13/RPMS/i386/u…
to see the contents of the repository but it's completely empty. I
tried with other RHEL version and archs and have a lot of files on it.
Is there any mirror available to install it?
Best regards.
A few months ago, when my desktop turned its toes up and went skywards to its
rest, I started to use my testbed machine as a temporary desktop. It was
already running Squeeze and TDE, so I moved my mail folders and set out to
use it. My emails simply wouldn't display, and when I installed Lenny on
this machine I found that said emails had been mauled. Fortunately, I had
three copies and the third was fine. So far, so good.
Now Lenny has been pensioned off. (Well, will have been by tomorrow.) I
clearly have to face Squeeze and TDE again. But I want my email; emails,
folders and all. I can find no reference to anything other than what I did,
and it is not impossible that the HDD was faulty and that that is the
problem. I have searched on Google, but so far as I can tell, I did the
right thing.
So please, before I dive in again, and this time I would not be able to
retreat to Lenny, can I have all and any advice on how to save my emails?
Other than take a large number of copies, which I shall do anyway.
Thanks,
Lisi
My husband's desktop died pretty conclusively at the beginning of teh mirror
outage. Not knowing about the outage, I set out to install Squeeze + TDE.
Without success, of course. I tried David's offering, which I liked very
much and had help from several people on this list, but had not succeeded in
getting it all running properly when my husband came home. So I installed
LXDE so that he could use Thunderbird to read his emails.
He has fallen for the speed of LXDE, and, for once, doesn't mind having to
work differently. He wants to keep LXDE.
I therefore have a lot of TDE dependencies, but no actual TDE packages.
1) If I install the rest of TDE at this stage, so that it is there if needed,
will it impact at all on LXDE's speed of booting up and shutting down?
I had been intending, as part of the reinstall, to move him from Thunderbird
to KMail. In KMail, it is easier to remove virus-laden emails, before he
sends them on to Windows using friends, without damaging or altering other
emails. And I know it a lot better, and can more readily answer questions.
2) Would using Kmail slow LXDE down at all?
I have so far failed to work out a method for Peter to be able to get his
emails in KMail without inputting a password. One used to be able to store
the necessary login details and passwords in KMail, as one can in
Thunderbird. For a while now, that has not been possible, and one has to go
via KWallet, which demands a password.
3) Is there a workaround which would allow KMail to download the email from
Gmail without any password being input??
One method would be to go back to using the ISP's POP3 server, instead of
going via Gmail, as I have for a while now. But I would like to be able to
continue sending his emails via Gmail. And log-in details would then need to
be saved somewhere.
Thanks,
Lisi

Hello all
This is an odd thing I thought maybe someone can help with? I installed
Ku 11.10 and the TDE. I have no issues with TDE but one and honestly I
am not even SURE its TDE fault. Firefox crashes EVERY time I try to save
anything. Whether its a file download or a picture.. its goes boom. It
did this sometimes when I ran TDE x.x..12 in ubuntu 10.10 but not that
often. Now its all the time.
Has anyone encountered this issue as well?
Followup: 2/3 PM EST? Or back such as 12 PM EST?
Also, can we get a list of topics?
The few ones I can think of (I detached myself from Trinity stuff the
past few months):
Git migration
Qt3/TQt3?
CMake - what's left

Could somebody please verify on Debian/Wheezy:
Running KDM select FVWM (or any other WM) as sessiontype. Log in, FVWM starts
but trerminates immediatle. .xsession-errors says, that an other WM is
already running and FVWM should be started with "-replace".
