KDE 3.5.13 up ! and Kaffeine OSD
by pierre.lag6633＠free.fr 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, Just succeeded in downloading and installing Kaffeine 3.5.13 (and some other parts) on a brand new Linux Mint 12 (Lisa) OS install. So thank you so much for the work, it's great. Only worry so far is the colours of the OSD. I saw there were some posts around here http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.desktop.trinity.devel/1975 about that issue, but no changes in xine configuration has any effect on the problem. So I made some more investigations. I have a 3.5.12 version rolling on the same machine on a Debian Squeeze third boot disk, so I simply and roughly compare and replace some pieces to see what was the origin of this presumably bug. Finally, replacing only the libxinepart.so in /opt/trinity/lib/trinity of Lisa by the 3.5.12 version I have in /opt/trinity/lib/kde3 of Squeeze (name of directory seems to have change between these two versions) changes back the OSD to its initial colours. If it can help further more : Squeeze version date : sam. 14 août 2010 09:29:58 Lisa version date : sam. 15 oct. 2011 02:35:36 So I presume this library has something related to that issue. I'm not a developer, but if I can help comparing source or finding more information, just let me know. I can easily compare versions as they are both rolling on the same machine ;). Cheers and thanks so much again for your fantastic work at TDE. Pierre

K Menu - kicker crash
by Mike Howard 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

I've just completed a TDE build from scratch on a fresh Debian Wheezy system, from the stable source. There were a number of issues to do with the source, which I'll document separately, in case it's useful to others. One problem that I have so far found with the resulting installation is 'kicker' crashing when attempting to select the 'System' sub menu option. In more detail, using the mouse to select 'K Menu' and then moving the mouse pointer to the 'System' entry in the upper, 'All Applications' portion of the menu, _always_ results in a crash, bringing up the 'KDE Panel - The KDE Crash Handler' dialog box. Any body any ideas? Is there a way to determine what, if any, options should be available on the sub menu on this system? Obviously there will be different options available on different systems. Maybe it's crashing cos it's empty. Cheers, Mike. --

Update problem ksmserver
by relosrl 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Thanks for the working mirror. I was able to download the updates. I have problems with the package ksmserver. I watched the pre-installation, I think it are looking the file / usr/bin/plasma.kde4 I have not. Possible workaround? Here is the error: Preparativi per sostituire ksmserver-trinity v.4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~maverick (utilizzando .../ksmserver-trinity_4%3a3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~natty_i386.deb)...

error while updating repositories
by nathan schramm 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

I'm trying to install trinity on a debain box and I keep getting bandwidth limit exceeded errors when I run apt-get update. Is there anything I can do about this, or will I have to wait for full speed mirror access to come back?

aptitude update/upgrade deleted kpilot
by Frank Lienhard 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I just updated my notebook with a local repo, using aptitude update/upgrade and that removed kpilot from my system. I thought this procedure shouldn't remove packages. Or is kpilot not part of Trinity anymore? And yes I still use a pilot.

Mirrors
by Dan Youngquist 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I really don't want to sound impatient or ungrateful -- I realize Trinity is an all-volunteer project to which I don't contribute (although I would if I had the skills). I really appreciate all the time and effort that goes into Trinity. But I have situations that are becoming critical, and I need to know how to plan. I have users I've been putting off for almost 3 weeks now, as well as a couple machines of my own with problems I can't fix, because the mirrors are down. Every day I tell them it's still not working, but it should be "any time now." Surely someone (Tim?) has some idea how much longer it's likely to be? All it takes is the upload bandwidth, the amount of data still to transfer, and some basic math to get a good estimate. Is it going to be another hour, a day, a week, 3 more weeks? If I can't at least find out very soon, I'm going to have to give up on Trinity and commit to another direction. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Centered or "Smart" Default Window Placement
by Darrell Anderson 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I'm posting this question to both the developer's and user's list. Everybody's thoughts and comments are welcomed. Bug report 676 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=676) was submitted requesting that the default window placement be changed from "Smart" to Centered. A patch was provided to make that change. What do you think? The configuration option for window placement is found in Control Center, Desktop, Window Behavior, Moving tab. Please keep the conversation focused to the DEFAULT setting and not what you prefer. The default setting is used when a person uses Trinity for the first time and is still learning to use the desktop. For a default setting, keep in mind new users, users migrating from Windows, traditional window placement, user expectations, newbies, etc. This discussion is not about the merits of either option but which is best as a default for new users. Please --- if you don't know what the "Smart" option does, then don't speculate. :) Thanks much for your time! Darrell

bandwidth solution, aka mirrors are down
by Greg Madden 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

I am a member of a local LUG (Linux User Group) here in Anchorage. We meet on Friday niights for a hands on lab session self support etc. One comment about bandwidth around the LUG: 'never under stimater the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes' This is a paraphrase of an old saying , hence the tape refernce? The poin being, transfering large data sets can be accomplished by loading up the old auto and driving them, locally, seems like you could also mail a hard drive, USB stick somwhere in a timely fashion. -- Peace, Greg
