Fonthandling with xterm
by Rolf Schmidt 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Hi, I just found out, that Trinity (3.5.13) does not modify the font size in xterm, when I select a different size with Ctl-right-mouse-click. Did I something wrong i.e. missing a font or is it a so called "feature" (not to say a bug). Fine regards Rolf

kpowersave & ACPI
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

I have a problem with kpowersave and ACPI on my T60p. kpowersave complains about missing ACPI support, battery status is not shown (it's always on AC, even when AC is disconnected). I can retrieve the battery status with acpi: $ acpi -b Battery 0: Discharging, 98%, 02:16:03 remaining Has anybody a clue what I am missing? It's running wheezy and TDE 3.5.13. acpid is running, thinkpad relevant modules are loaded, hal-trinity is installed, too. Nik

Kaffeine on Squeeze and Trinity 3.5.12
by Lisi 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

When I go to install the package kaffeine-trinity on Debian Squeeze, Trinity 3.5.12, it demands kdesudo-trinity as a dependency. Why? And how do I get round it? Thanks, Lisi

Trinity 10.5.12 for Debian Squeeze
by Lisi 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Is the consensus of opinion that 10.5.12 is steady and rock solid enough for me it give it to someone else (a definite non-geek)? I get the impression that 10.5.13 is still not bug-free enough for Just Using. Thanks, Lisi

TDE Qt4 theme engine [TDE spring fundraiser]
by Timothy Pearson 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

It's time for our TDE spring fundraiser! The TDE project relies on your financial support to continue development of this reliable and easy-to-use desktop environment. As my way of saying thank you I have developed a new theme engine for Qt4 that allows you to use your TDE styles and file dialogs in new Qt4 applications, as well as interface methods required to easily convert common Qt4 objects to TQt3 objects and vice versa. If we can raise the $2,000 required to keep the TDE project running for the rest of the year by April 30, 2012, I will release the source code for this new theme engine under the GPL and also integrate it into the next TDE release. Once this engine and the conversion methods are part of TDE, the foundation will have been laid for work to begin on a Webkit-based replacement for the aging KHTML engine. Donations can be securely made to the project at this address: http://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php I will also update that page from time to time with progress made towards the $2,000 goal. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Library requirements: TQt3, Qt4, and TDE core Lines of C++ source code: 4207 (theme engine and Qt4 object translator) License: GPL Functional quality: ALPHA Screenshots of the theme engine in action are attached, showing common TDE styles in use with Qt4 applications. If you want to see this engine released and think the TDE project is worth a few dollars, please donate to help keep the TDE project going! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

Forgive me for not bringing this up earlier. We invite everyone to attend the March Meeting on IRC (irc.freenode.net, #trinity-desktop-meeting).

If you cannot make it, or you are busy, please let me know ASAP so that I can change the date or time. You may also leave topics to be discussed with any opinions or such. And this is also a friendly reminder that Etherpad still exists (etherpad.trinitydesktop.org). Thanks, Robert Xu

using tde kde3 libs on ubuntu 11.10 unity
by Eldon Tyrell 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, not sure my subject made sense so i'll try to explain a bit further. Short version : I basically want to build my own kaffeine 0.8 source (including numerous patches) on my freshly upgraded ubuntu 11.10 (unity). Is it correct to assume that using your kde3 tde packages i'll be able to build my kaff source and run it on my unity system ? Can i build and run vanilla kde3 app source using your libs but not your desktop ? Long version : I found out a bit too late that kde3 libs were ditched so i'm now stuck with kaff 1.2 which is far from satisfying my requirements.. I've been trying for the past few days to figure out a proper way (meaning without breaking the current ubuntu kde5 libs) to restore kde3 libs on my ubuntu 11.10 system in order to build kaffeine but i'm no deb package wizard. As soons as i searched for kde3 i was pointed towards trinity and so found out about your kde3 desktop and ppa which probably includes all the required kde3 libs to run kaffeine. I've also tried to run your kaffeine 0.8 package but after a successful installation, it fails to run with an error. I've managed to run configure in my kaffeine source using the following command : #./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --without-xcb --without-lame --without-gstreamer --without-xinerama --without-oggvorbis --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/tqt/ the --without(s) are there to skip unnecessary parts and should be ignored but i had to add the tqt include path otherwise it was complaining about some missing tqt headers files which are located in the regular not /opt path. make then fails after outputing a very large quantity of "undefined reference to", like the last one here : .libs/playlistimport.o:(.data.rel.ro._ZTI15NoatunXMLParser[typeinfo for NoatunXMLParser]+0x10): undefined reference to `typeinfo for QXmlDefaultHandler' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [libkaffeinepart.la] Error 1 And i can't see any actual error statement but obviously something is not working. Thx for reading, any help wil be greatly appreciated. Marc
