desktop settings
by Ilya Dogolazky 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi ! I've installed trinity today for the first time. Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is: Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE settings directory? Thanks ! -- Ilya Dogolazky

KMail
by Lisi Reisz 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I am still having problems getting KMail to use my data from before my desktop died. I have now successfully copied an intact copy of the Mail folder ~/Mail) from a backup to my present setup. I have checked, and my folders and emails at least are there. But KMail won't use them/doesn't see them. This is the method I have always used before, that has always worked before. I am desperate to be able to use KMail again, but daren't just set it up because I am then going to be faced with losing everything that I do now, if I ever succeed in restoring the stuff from the past. I thought of purging and reinstalling KMail and starting again, but that would remove 383 packages, and I am somewhat chary therefore of doing it. ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail in the new set-up has: file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/drafts file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.drafts.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.drafts.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.inbox.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.inbox.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/outbox file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.outbox.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.outbox.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/sent-mail file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.sent-mail.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.sent-mail.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/templates file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.templates.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.templates.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/trash file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index.ids There is now no error message about indices, but it looks to me as though this directory is at the root of the problem. I have renamed it and started KMail, and it just regenerates it the same, and still doesn't use the available data, but kmail gives: file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave.index.ids file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/elizabeth.reisz:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/$name%40googlemail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/kmmainwin.rc file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi%40$name.myzen.co.uk:%40mailhost.zen.co.uk:110 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.reisz%40gmail.com:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.reisz:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lisi.t155:%40pop.gmail.com:995 file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/lock file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail.old file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/search Help!!

The "Desktop is $HOME, not $HOME/Desktop" issue again
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

I just installed TDE 3.5.15 on a fresh wheezy box (T61p, kernel 3.*, nvidia drivers). Funny thing, anything worked, after I got rid of all KDE4 libs which caused a blue screen with cursor after login otherwise. The only issue I did not find a reason for is that $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs gets overwritten with all folders set to $HOME: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME" So this causes TDE to assume the desktop folder is the useres home directory. I can change that dir to "$HOME/Desktop" and apply the immutable flag to the file to prevent it beeing overwritten at login - the fiole is overwritten at each login somewhere before TDE reads it. Now my question is, what when why is this file written? It's a bit anoying when you stumble upon that problem :-) Nik -- Mag.

Kicker crashes when Settings or System menus are accessed
by Dan Youngquist 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

3.5.13 on Xubuntu Oneiric. All other menus work, but as soon as I go to Settings or System, kicker crashes. Also crashes when I use the menu search, but I suspect it's because it hits one of those two menus. Anyone else having this problem? -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

TDE
by Sleepwalker . 29 Nov '11

Great work! I loved KDE 2 in it's time, loved KDE 3, and I'm sure I will love Trinity. I just installed it in my Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) and its works flawlessly (until now) and extremely fast! I got a screenshot and maybe someone can put it on the website. In the future I will try to work fixing bugs. For now I need to finish my BS. in Computer Science... []s

the state of sudo
by Calvin Morrison 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

Hello, I think another thing on all of our minds should be towards dealing with the problems related to sudo. As we know not all distros support it, and also removing sudo in cases can remove the entire trinity install, wreak havoc and other terrible things. Do we have a plan for this? Tim what needs to be done? Calvin

Missing Modules
by Raevyn Vieria-Madison 26 Nov '11

26 Nov '11

I was curious if anyone has run into this odd situation... I have Ubuntu and Kubuntu, and when I install TDE some parts in the systemsettings panel wont work properly, but when I install TDE on its own, those parts work. So I know its an issue with the other desktops "stealing" control is all. But this is my oddity.. I decided to see what Debian is about right. I installed it, and then I installed TDE. For some reason the systemsettings program didnt download. No biggie I found it in the repositories and installed it. But then I found that several options that should be in there are not. For simplicities sake I will name them off as a list: 1. Disks and Filesystems 2. User management 3. WINE configurator 4. System services I was wondering if there is a way to like, bring those modules in? I havent ever seen them just not be there before. Could it be an issue with Debian installing GNOME?
