[trinity-users] Graphical logout drops to shell (no kdm)
by David Hare 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Firstly, congratulations Trinity team for the new release! Using newest 3.5.13, on Squeeze with all latest updates, installed on 3 machines here as well as virtualbox setups. On one machine's HD install (quite old SIS graphics) and on all using virtualbox OSE : After logout from graphical screen the shell appears, no kdm greeter. I must login as root and do </etc/init.d/kdm-trinity reload> to get a login screen. <ps ax> shows kdm still running. It doesn't happen with HD install on one machine with Intel and one with nvidia graphics. It did not happen with 3.5.12 anywhere. I have found a workaround by uncommenting the line "TerminateServer=true" in /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc Anyone else getting this? Bug? Regards, David

Nightly Builds, Ubuntu Natty, dead in water
by Laws, Peter C. 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Update went OK with no errors seen. However, since rebooting, I have mouse control, the desktop clock is running, but I can do nothing. I'\ can read mail on my Mac, but I really need for this to be running. Any ideas? I'm sshed in so can grab logs if needed (though I don't really see anything glaring). Help? -- Peter Laws / N5UWY

[trinity-users] 3.5.13 : Use of gksu or sux causes klauncher crash
by David Hare 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

3.5.13 is now working fine (so far) with kdesu. Thanks Trinity team for dealing with bugs 394/451. There is still an issue (here at least) with some apps, usually gtk, that use by default "gksu" (e.g. gparted) or "su-to-root -X -c command" (many of my custom scripts) Synaptic is ok, it already has a .desktop file for kde The problem is just like before, e.g. "klauncher could not be reached via dcop" requiring relogin or to call kdeinit in a terminal (if you can get one) This is however minor and easily fixable compared to 3.5.12, where sudo was mandatory by default (unacceptable for many Debian users) I note also, <sux> still causes similar errors (worked in kde 3.5.9/10 in Debian Lenny) Workaround, if affected: Change relevant .desktop files to include "X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true" OR using kmenuedit tick "run as different user" OR just call <kdesu rootappname> in terminal or run box. Don't use "sux". Check your custom apps/scripts. Regards, David

Please integrate Trinity into Linux distros
by Alexey Eromenko 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

I'd like to request you VERY much to integrate your work into major Linux distros (Red Hat/Debian/Ubuntu/openSUSE). Since you already have debs/rpms ready, it should not be too hard. (For me, of particular importance is future Debian 7.0 "wheezy") -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"

Can't Keep Kompozer from taking Over.
by Robert Smits 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hello. I've got a laptop I'm running OpenSuSe 11.3 with KDE4 on. In addition, I've installed the KDE3 version of KDEPIM on it. But not the KDE3 desktop. My problem is that if I have both Firefox and Kompozer (a website editor) installed, every time I click on a web link in an email, it starts up Kompozer INSTEAD of Firefox. I can't find any way to prioritize Firefox, except to uninstall Kompozer. Can anyone tell me where to look to make clicking on a url go to Firefox and not Kompozer. The KDEPIM is from 3.5.10. Thanks -- Robert Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home...David Frost

Trinity Release 3.5.13: Further Notes
by Calvin Morrison 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hello, Here are some further notes regarding the 3.5.13 release. The release is on schedule for Nov 1st (in 3 days). Now is your last chance to send in patches for the release. After Oct 29th a hard freeze will be in effect. No changes past this point will be made. This is to ensure that packagers have enough time to produce packages. After that the final tarballs will be built for the release. For the 3.5.13 release there will be no Ubuntu LiveCDs. If someone would like to respin a LiveCD for us, we will be happy to host the files. Oneiric packages are built and ready to install. Please report any problems you find. For Oneiric installation instructions: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/NightlyBuilds Lastly, LibreOffice integration will not be available in Oneiric until the creation, submission, and incorporation of patches into the upstream LibreOffice project. Thank you, Calvin Morrison Trinity Desktop Team

Trinity: some problems...
by Jorge Gonçalves 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hello all! I'm new to Trinity. After some weeks trying, I finally manage to install Trinity night build to a Debian Squeeze - more exactly, a HD install of the latest Knoppix Cd. Well, Trinity is running, but there are some problems, the worst is that after using "File Manager - Super User Mode", I can no more open any other program, nothing, it only returns a DCOP error. I wonder if this is because of my install could somehow be broken, so I ask if anyone could confirm or not? Another problem - not related, Kopete does not run, it says: " kopete: symbol lookup error: /opt/trinity/lib/trinity/kopete_statistics.so: undefined symbol: sqlite3_open " And, finally, Basket has wrong dependencies: it should not depend on Kontact, but simply suggest it - see the developer page for that. All in all, from my limited testing, Trinity 3.5.13 seems solid, maybe a little more cpu usage than former Kde 3.5.10. I also manage to get Compiz working with Trinity, using the gtk-window-decorator. Cheers, Jorge

Restoring KMail files and directories.
by Lisi Reisz 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I have problems with my hardware, and am probably going to accept some loss of data. But I am particularly anxious not to loose all my KMail information. In the dim and distant past, I used to be able to copy across a .mail folder and bingo! I had my emails. Is there anything similar in KDE 3.5.10? My guesses were all wrong! FWIW, and in case it affects anyone else, I tried to use my Lenny /home, which is on a separate HDD, with TDE 3.5.12 or 3.5.11 (I have wiped it, and now can't remember which it was). KMail refused to function. So I reinstalled Lenny and 3.5.10, and KMail could not use the directories because the indices had been altered. KMail's offered attempts to reset the indices (and maybe lose a bit) failed to work. Obviously I ought not to have tried to go backwards, but there was not much other choice at the time!! So, alternatively, is there some way I could tidy up the "corrupted" copy? Thanks Lisi
