Issues on Squeeze
by Ed Hurst 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I noticed some of these were already mentioned, though not fixed or answered, so far as I can determine. KDM -- won't allow me to shut down, reboot or much of anything else except login. Kdesu -- refuses to accept my root password. I have to jack around to setup the X auth for root using the commandline. KWifiManager -- If I launch from the commandline as root, it does find a network, but the wrong one. I can't get it to let me select my in-home wifi connection. It lists it for a scan, but I see no means to make it select it. From my user account, I can't do anything with it at all. This last one is a show-stopper for me. If I can't connect and configure on the fly wherever I go, the DE is useless. So, what would you need from me to diagnose this? -- Ed Hurst -------- Open for Business - http://ofb.biz/ Kiln of the Soul - http://soulkiln.org/ blog - http://soulkiln.blogspot.com/

Hi, the above mentioned edition is based on Debian Testing. Is there a Trinity version available? -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Ohne Zensur suchen: http://suche.amnesty-bergedorf.de/ ökologisch suchen: http://www.ecosia.de Das heutige Motto: Ein Narr tut, was er nicht lassen kann; ein Weiser läßt, was er nicht tun kann.

Xine: something eats "cursor up"
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

New day, new game. After I got the medium autolauncher back to work I found an other funny thing: something eats up "cursur up" keys in the xine window. It's a xine only phenomenon, no other application is afflicted. It afflicts only the "cursour up" key, no others. kdeaccessibility-trinity is not installed. Thoughts? Nik

Problem with medium application autostart
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hi! At last I made the transition to trinity + squeeze with the last of my boxes, the infamous office box. I saw my desktop go down in flames (which actually was the falt of som weired xorg problem) and raise from the ashes 2 days later. After all I am very satisfied, I didn't loose my kwallet nor my kmail settings and date - in fact I didn't loose anything important :-) There is only one issue left, that I was not able to correct: the medium application autostart does not work as I exect it. What I got so far: After I log in, plug in a DVD or USB storage device. Usually there should pop up a dialog asdking me what medium was found and what to do next. Now that dialog does not show up. But when I open konqueror and go to media:/ I see the plugged in device (not mounted). I can open it from there. I unplug the USB device, the icon disappears as expected. I start kcontol, go to "Peripherials/Storage Media", there select "Defaults" and "Apply", close kcontrol, plug in the USB storage device and the famouse dialogbox shows up! When I log out and log in again the dialogbox does not show up until I open kcontrol and do these steps. Now I cannot find what kcontrol does at this stage to make things work. I tried strace, but kcontol does not change the contents of any file in .trinity. It opens and reads these files, but nothing is written: .trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus .trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/xine-dvd.desktop .trinity/share/config/kcontrolrc .trinity/share/config/kdeglobals .trinity/share/config/khtmlrc .trinity/share/config/kio_httprc .trinity/share/config/kioslaverc .trinity/share/config/medianotifierrc xine-dvd.desktop plays DVDs, if inserted. At least when I first start kcontrol ;-) I made a diff from the ~/.trinity tree befor and after running kcontrol, but there are no changes. So, is there a way how I can get the medium autoplay to work? Nik

Problems with repositories and aptitude update
by Lisi 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

I am installing (or trying to!) Trinity on a fresh minimal install of Squeeze. But I have run into problems (which I did not the other day on a full install). I have edited my sources.list as instructed on the Pearson website, and have checked and rechecked the repositories. They seem to be fine, but when I do <aptitude update> I get a lot of error messages like this one: [ ERR] Reading package lists E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net_trinity_trinity_debian_dists_squeeze_main_i18n_Translation-en E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: Couldn't rebuild package cache And obviously couldn't install Trinity either, with similar errors. I am completely baffled. Can anyone throw light on this? Lisi

mount usb with the wrong user
by Uwe Brauer 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hello I installed trinity on a PC running Ubuntu Lucid (I did not do the original installation so I am not sure if something went wrong) However when I connect in kde3 an usb device with a linux partion 2 things happen - the kde daemon pops up twice instead of only once - the device is mounted but the files belong to another user of this PC. This is very annoying because in order to copy I have to use sudo and then later the chown chgrp command. I looked up the fstab file in /etc but there I can't see the source of the problem.

Lucid and docky
by Uwe Brauer 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hello I finally installed successfully trinity on a PC which runs Ubuntu Lucid. However when I log in using KDE3 after some seconds, docky, a sort of gnome planel which looks like the MacIntosh planel, starts up and annoys me. So I have to kill it in order to enjoy KDE3. How can a disable docky per default. thanks Uwe Brauer

K3b for Trinity
by Lisi 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I have Trinity set up on Squeeze and now want to install K3b. I most emphatically do NOT want anything KDE4. How do I set about it? Alternatively, a search of my emails retrieves the information that many of you have K3b by default. The fact that I do not have it, suggests that I did not install Trinity correctly, although I thought that I had meticulously followed the directions on Timothy's site. What ought I to have done, to have what I would regard as the sine qua non of a functional DE? (Of which K3b forms a part.) Thanks, Lisi
