Kmahjongg error
by Ed Hurst 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Running Trinity on Scientific Linux 6, just installed today. When I attempt to launch Kmahjongg, I get a message: "KMahjongg could not locate the file: or the default file of type: tqlayout KMahjongg will now terminate" So I click "OK" and get another: "An error occurred when loading the board tqlayout KMahjongg will now terminate." Then it launches with an empty field, no tiles, and can't load any games. Is there something I can do to fix this?

kcmshell/kcontrol in Nightly Builds (Debian Wheezy)
by Nils Henkel 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, I just installed the nightly builds on my Debian Wheezy system. Almost everything seems to be working fine, with one exception. I cannot configure my virtual desktops: If I enter the configuration dialog by right-clicking the Pager and choosing "configure desktops", kcmshell goes to 100% cpu load and becomes unresponsive. If I enter the dialog by running "kcmshell desktop" in a shell, the same happens, except the process is called "kcmshell.real" Cheers, Nils -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQO40gAAoJEFKqSFu+3gYzY6gH/1t2nNZIm7zEZeIEVKasuzqm jxcIrsUH+YCsA+e98cXQaiIfZW7ph74OnhFweevLl3uGXNQ+ycySoWcBayaF/3ds m5kQfEpuGnhz42DeHsBIawgOyXxz5+IbzqMpiLEt2voKModBgWHn/aT4E3LX1nww kCJroBnGu1f9LoYDclbnCiH4Rdb1y2CrP07Rlt8It8AF51NcDrVD+nVn9/v58mLK mEriXotc8cGIe4aeIZV8/VhMI3fwl9hSddsM7JmQhMMIuxZGXyAY3SfvUXjr2Mhh cqVyFV6L84+78eAn6088BMzWe6bi4FRZccI5bXtLe4wzynfQZhdfTBVvHeAdwzc= =CGDJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Sending with kmail 3.5.13.1
by jc 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hi For sending with kmail I have to select the "via" each time whether from the addon to the uparrow icon in the composer window or subsequently from the File > Send queued messages > via. How do I set it to just click on up arrow icon in composer window and have it sent from outbox, just have one sending account. I don't remember any problem setting that way before and single click send is the habit of quite a few years. In Configure - Accounts - Setup for sending and receiving messages Confirm before send is unchecked Send messages in outbox folder "on all mail checks" Default send method "send now" Have to do the File > Send queued messages > via thing even afer several mail checks or it stays in the outbox

A Simple-Safe Way to Retrofit Your System from KDE4 to Trinity (Almost)
by Joseph Thames 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

Hi Timothy, I'm new to your list, and I am thrilled there is a Trinity fork. I retreated from the bleeding edge of Fedora 8 and then Kubuntu 9.04 three years ago to Centos 5.5 because of the KDE4 nightmare. Linux had become a chaotic minefield of cosmetic frenzy with no functionality leadership anymore and KDE3 was the last hope of stable continuity. Now to take my whole new terrace of application technology <http://www.metacalculus.com> to a new cloud server I had provisioned a Centos 6.2 VPS. Oops, the RedHat/Centos crowd has followed the cosmetic herd to KDE4. So I thought maybe I'd give it another try. Silly me. When I tried to move my desktop apps from Centos 5.5, I realized I would have to rebuild my whole interface. Screw that. So I started looking for an alternative, and I found you guys. Unfortunately, I had already installed moved all my Perl infrastructure with an upgrade to perl 5.10.1, Postgresql 8.4, PHP 5.3 etc. so I could install RT4, Mojolicious, Dancer, WordPress, and Drupal7. i had already done all that before I looked at mapping my KDE desktop apps to the plasma swamp. So, now dreading the uninstall of KDE4 and install of Trinity on this otherwise loaded server, I thought I might have a way of getting above it all, using Yumex. And it almost worked. I've never been a big fan of Gnome, but have used it occasionally. So I used Yumex to install Gnome, and then logged-in to Gnome with the intention of using Yumex to selectively remove all the KDE4 packages, except those shared by KDE and Gnome. It worked almost. Here is the scheme: Buried deep down in the Centos website, there is a section on RedHat/Fedora Trinity Repository Installation Instructions: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/el6/trinity-… So I did that, and the Yumex packages window now had all the trinitiy packages, which I could check to have installed. But first I had to remove KDE4: *Yumex Pass 1 - Remove KDE4* 1. In Package window, click *Installed* radio button, 2. Search for 'KDE', which will fill the window with all installed packages that KDE employs, in green text, 3. Click on each one in which the rhs description says is part of KDE, this will respond with the garbage can icon so you no it is set to be deleted. 4. Be sure not to check packages used by both Gnome and KDE, like Xorg-x11-server.Xorg or htdig. But if you are unsure, Yum will detect the errors in its dependency check and print errors in red in the output, refusing to continue, because you are proposing to delete packages that remaining packages depend upon. 5. Click Apply to start Yum processing. If no errors appear, you can allow Yumex to continue to delete all of the KDE4 packages. *Yumex Pass 2 - Install Trinity* 1. In Package window, click Available Radio Buttion; 2. Search on 'trinity', which will fill the Package window with all of the Trinity packages; 3. Review the list and their descriptions, and check all the ones you need; 4. Click Apply to start installing Trinity. Ok, this got past the dependency check and all of the downloads, then I got: 13:48:06 : YUM: Running rpm_check_debug 13:48:13 : ERROR: Error in yum Transaction : Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib/debug/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/kcm_displayconfig.so.debug conflicts between attempted installs of trinity-tdebase-debuginfo-3.5.13-27.el6.opt.i686 and trinity-guidance-debuginfo-0.8.0svn20080103-3.el6.opt.i686 13:48:13 : YUM: file /usr/lib/debug/opt/trinity/bin/kuickshow.debug conflicts between attempted installs of trinity-tdegraphics-debuginfo-3.5.13-6.el6.opt.i686 and trinity-kuickshow-debuginfo-0.8.13-4.el6.opt.i686 13:48:13 : YUM: file /usr/lib/debug/opt/trinity/lib/libkdeinit_kuickshow.so.debug conflicts between attempted installs of trinity-tdegraphics-debuginfo-3.5.13-6.el6.opt.i686 and trinity-kuickshow-debuginfo-0.8.13-4.el6.opt.i686 13:48:13 : YUM: file /usr/lib/debug/opt/trinity/lib/trinity/kuickshow.so.debug conflicts between attempted installs of trinity-tdegraphics-debuginfo-3.5.13-6.el6.opt.i686 and trinity-kuickshow-debuginfo-0.8.13-4.el6.opt.i686 So, since I'm not expecting to have to debug anything, I went back into the package window and uncheck all the "debuginfo" packages I had previously check. This time TDE installed without a hitch. But now I am unable to connect using NX into Gnome. It acts like what was described in the #bug985202 discussion. How do I configure my NX client to startup TDE TIA -- Joseph 'Bear' Thames MetaCalculus, LLC and Meta Science Foundation (505) 977-9024 - Cell Phone beartham(a)gmail.com

Cannot run kcmshell apps
by Robert Peters 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hello, Using Trinity 3.5.13 in Exegnu. In a System Settings app, when I try to enter administrative mode, my password is not accepted. Same thing from the command line, for example, kdesu /opt/trinity/bin/kcmshell 'kde-clock.desktop', and none of kdesudo, gksu, gksudo work either. Any ideas? Robert

Puzzling problems with printing and scanning in Trinity 3.5.13 with Slavko's repositories added.
by Lisi 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

Hi all! I have had the following cris de coeur from the user of a computer that I administer. "The old system" means Debian Lenny with KDE 3.5.10, which is still there on a separate partition and can be booted into from Grub. I had previously successfully installed Debian Squeeze with Trinity 3.5.12 on his wife's laptop without a problem, and it is running well, including printing and scanning. The installation for the wife was from scratch and there was nothing to restore. The husband had a lot to restore. The printer and scanner form part of an aio, a Lexmark Interact C605. The initial problem with the printer was that when I came to install it on a 64 bit system (Lenny had been 32 bit) I found that the driver was only available in a 32 bit version. I found a 64 bit driver - not on Lexmark's site, of course :-( - and all seemed to be well. The story carries on below in emails from the owner of the machines. I am baffled as to how a driver can work one minute and not the next. :-( I do hope that I haven't managed to install some sort of malware masquerading as a driver. 12/08/07 (yy/mm/dd) <quote> We still have some snags with the new system I'm afraid. 1)The scanner will not work although it still does in the old system so I know the scanner is working OK. 2)The printer works from e-mail OK except that it will not print attachments which are in PDF although I can read them aok. </quote> 12/08/16 <quote> The printer which was working aok in the new system (apart from pdf format)has now ceased to function completely again although it is working still in the old system. </quote> His wife can still print from her laptop. I had expected to find that the problem with the scanner was a matter of groups and permissions, but it would appear not; or anyhow, not entirely. Any suggestions for solutions, other than reinstall with 32 bit and Trinity 3.5.12, gratefully received. Though this is beginning to look like the only viable solution. I ought, of course, to have checked, before I abandoned 32 bit, that all the necessary drivers were available in 64 bit. :-( Thanks, Lisi

Can't mount ecryptfs home dir, can log in as unencrypted user
by Patricia J Hawkins 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Hi all, This is largely a heads up, as everything is half-working, and I think I see the solution on the DOWN UNTIL 7PM canonical forums. No mouse, have emacs but emacs is currently NOT pasting to the system clipboard; email isn't setup in emacs under this user, and I won't be taking the time to fix just now. So, no cut & paste. Sorry (and ARRRGHHH!) I'm usually phawkins <phawkins(a)connact.com>@ <phawkins(a)connact.com> connact.com <phawkins(a)connact.com>, but temporarily subscribed via gmail. I updated Aug 15 and 17; the logout suspend option, which hadn't been in my logout menu since the last major upgrade, appeared as of 8/15; I've been using suspend since then; suspended last night, May not be relevant, did not see any suspend-type errors. I couldn't log in this morning as my usual ecryptfs-home self; just got a gray screen; rebooted multiple times, finally got a trinity login screen; got .Iceauthority errors, couldn't log in as usual usr (pjh) even under xfce; logged in as an unecrypted user; it's all working as it should except my touchpad is not working (Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop) and I seem to have never copied over my usual emacs setup stuff (argh.) Mouse: looking at the error files, could just be that I haven't logged into this user since before I was on Trinity (was kde3) and something didn't translate correctly. Or could be related to the other issue, see below. Ecryptfs: Was able to sudo -u pjh but couldn't mount usual /home/pjh via ecryptfs-recover-private or ecryptfs-mount-private; googling on the error ("open: No such file or directory") implicates /dev/shm (or /run/shm) and upgrade issues with that; Google shows me CONSIDERABLE discussion on the temporarily inaccessible ubuntu forums; one or two tweaks for other systems (adding mount for /dev/shm or /run/shm to fstab) don't work. I'm going to go off and practice my fiddle for this afternoon's morris gig at the Providence, RI Waterfire. See Red Herring Morris on the web. Thanks all! Am on Ubuntu 11.10 using the generic ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net<http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity> /trinity <http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity> sources in sources.iist, plus trinity-builddeps; have all the usual ubuntu sources plus us.archive.ubuntu.com; am not currently using slavek-banko sources, maybe I should. Good grief, couldn't get to the Gmail send button using tab key in firefox, had to save a draft & send from my phone. Enough!

Mandriva RPMs
by Tim Williams 18 Aug '12

On 02/08/2012 19:34, Francois Andriot >wrote: > 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). That was probably me, my packages are still available if anybody wants them. The core stuff in my packages works OK, but I had a lot of trouble with the extras failing for various reasons and I've not had enough time to look at this for several months. However, I've now had a quick look at Francois's packages, which are are definite improvement on my own efforts. I have had the following problems though (using the X86_64 build) : 1 - I have had a lot of trouble getting the TDE option to appear on the login managers session menu. As far as I can tell this is because the /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/45TDE.desktop file isn't being reliably generated/installed. Do the files in /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/ get generated after installation nothing in this folder appears to exist in any of the RPM packages? I ended up writing my own 45TDE.desktop file to fix this so that I could log in. 2 - Konsole doesn't get added to the menu after installation. 3 - Most of the applets on the panel failed to load when logging in as a user an existing .trinity directory (a clean user was OK). This was easily solved by manually adding them again though. 4 - A number of the menus on the K menu were empty after the upgrade, when looking at them in kmenuedit, these menus had been given a "KDE3" submenu, which was also empty. Deleting this KDE submenu and saving would then cause the original menu entries to magically re-appear. Odd...
