Partial Installation Recommendation
by Ed Hurst 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Is there a recommended collection of packages for someone who would prefer to add Trinity, rather than have it fully replace, say GNOME? For example, I understand the necessity of replacing sudo, but I don't want to replace my boot splash. -- Ed Hurst -------- Open for Business - http://ofb.biz/ Kiln of the Soul - http://soulkiln.org/ blog - http://soulkiln.blogspot.com/

Fonts for Gnome-based programs
by HHa 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi, can I say in the Control Center that Gnome-based programs should use the KDE fonts? If yes, where? -- 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: Lerne, als würdest Du hundert Jahre alt werden, aber lebe, als würdest Du morgen sterben.

Konversation: Settings not being applied
by Kristopher Gamrat 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I finally got my hard disk in and I've installed Debian Squeeze using a basic install (base plus laptop stuff plus ssh server, no GUI or anything else). From there I installed Trinity. All seems fine, except that konversation isn't displaying time stamps in the chat window even though it shows as enabled in the configuration window for Konversation, and it won't display the tray icon when I enable that. I am also noticing that it isn't adding the option to enable the tray icon to ~/.trinity/share/config/konversaitonrc and that ~/.trinity/share/apps/konversation/ is emtpy, yet I have ownership and both read and write permissions in both. I remember seeing an issue on the mailing list before that autorun settings in Kcontrol weren't saving but the fix is unrelated to chat, and autorun is working fine here anyway. Are there any konversation users around that can help? -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager

Alt and Meta
by Volker Wysk 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi! I want to allocate Alt as Alt, and the two Windows-Keys as Meta. I had this set up, using xmodmap. But after upgrading KDE it no longer works, neither with Trinity nor with KDE4. It looks like KDE3/4 does the allocation on its own now. Does anyone have an idea how this can be done? Cheers, V.W.

Issues on Squeeze
by Ed Hurst 16 Mar '11

16 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/

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
