broken systemsettings
by Felix Miata 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Trinity freshly installed on a HTTP Lucid minimal install, several modules are complaining about libpython2.6.so not found in paths, even though libpython2.6 is installed. One such is system services. Why is there a main menu item "system settings" that opens systemsettings, even though KControl is installed? KControl only shows the KControl start page when any of Monitor & Display, System Services, User Management, Windows Applications & others are selected. Opening Login Manager causes message "unable to create folder /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces", which isn't surprising given that KDM shows no icons in the user list. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Why is the site down?
by Dexter Filmore 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

After Torvalds recent rant against gnome3 I wanted to tell the world about trinity (world here means my fav IT news forum on heise.de) and link to the site - then noticed the site is down. I cannot advertise something that isn't there. Dex -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

remove Plymouth?
by Felix Miata 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

I got Trinity installed a few hours ago after an initial minimal HTTP Lucid install, which had left me with a clean text only boot process. Now with kubuntu-desktop-KDE3 installed I also have the Plymouth GUI nonsense. apt-get remove plymouth wants to remove virtually the entire system. How do I make the pre-KDM GUI stuff go away permanently? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Pearsoncomputing.net is down too. Has Trinity moved? Does https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kubuntu/Kde3/Lucid need some updating? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

digikam plugins, perhaps (sent again)
by Anthony Winter 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

No answer last time. Does that mean nobody now uses digikam in trinity? ---------------------------previous post-------------------- Digikam 0.9.6 seems to be missing a lot of functions; for example, in Edit mode, Color, Enhance, have no options visible. Transform has a minimal set. I presume that there are some plugins missing. didkam, kipi plugins and showfoto are all installed. uname -a Linux vega 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 04:13:06 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux debian - squeeze. Any pointers to where I should look? cheers anthony

network is down when hibernating, WICD does not work.
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello I asked around and it seems that the knetworkmanager has a problem with hibernating and then resuming. WICD seems to be an alternative but does not work in trinity, at least when I try to scan the scan option can not be activated. Any comments on this? Thanks Uwe Brauer

unable to mount USB hard drive
by Marvin L. Jones 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I recently upgraded my netbook from Ubuntu karmic 9.10 to 10.04 LTS, after which I upgraded the installed Trinity 3.5.11. At first everything seemed to be Just Fine. But, I found that when I attempted to connect my external USB hard drive it resulted in a pop-up error message: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist The same USB hard drive mounts (and unmounts) Just Fine on my older karmic 9.10 box with Trinity 3.5.11. (The drive is formatted ext3 and I use it to back up $HOME(s) on my linux boxes.) The netbook is remembering something about the mount attempt, because after a cold re-boot, _without_ the USB drive connected, there remains a mount point: /media/MLJ_USB_1/ -- "MLJ_USB_1" being the label of the USB hard drive. And I cannot `umount` it: "... is not mounted (according to mtab)". `mount` shows: "/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" -- of course the USB drive is NOT connected at all. (The USB drive shows properly as "/dev/sda5 / _ext3_ rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0" on the karmic box.) If I log out of Trinity and into Gnome, I can mount and unmount the drive without a problem. If I leave it mounted -- log out of Gnome and log back into Trinity, it is still mounted, and shows as formatted ext3. If I then (in KDE) unmount it, unplug it, and plug it back in, I get: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist Looking through the Bug List does not yield anything that fits my problem. Then, being paranoid, I checked to see if the same problem existed with the SD memory card socket. Yes, same problem. And, the SD card mounts and unmounts Just Fine in Gnome. What to do?

kcontrol blank
by Tim Williams 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

I've finally managed to produce some working Trinity Mandriva packages (available from http://www.autotrain.org/mdv-kde/mdv2010.2.html). However, i've got a problem with kcontrol, it starts up fine, but it doesn't load any configuration options, so the main config panels are blank. This could be being caused by one of the mandriva patches, rather than being a bug in the Trinity core, but i'd appreciate some suggestions as to what I should be looking for. Other 'lesser' configuation screens, eg "Configure Desktop" and "Configure Panel" seem to work fine.
