up-to-date distros that include Trinity KDE pre-installed?
by C W 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

Hi I love KDE4 & KDE 3. I recently tried Porteus GNU/Linux which comes with Trinity KDE pre-installed. It is an up-to-date distro, not one or two years old. Porteus with Trinity is awesome & very fast, the only problem is it is not designed to be installed to a hard drive in a traditional sense. It's only meant to be used as a liveCD or live USB drive or live off of the hard drive. What are some distros that include Trinity KDE pre-installed? Ideally, ones that have a liveDVD or liveCD option would be best. Thanks very much.

MS-Office 2003 under wine
by Jeff Taylor 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

I've had a problem with opening existing documents for some time now, but attributed the problem to the number of upgrades my computer has been through. However last week I installed a copy of trinity-maverick on a freshly-wiped machine, and I'm still having the same problems. Hopefully someone can help? I have a laptop running trinity under karmic, and Office 2003 runs fine from that machine, and is able to open all of these documents without problems. - Installed trinity-maverick 32-bit - Installed Office 2003 Pro (the same CD used to install on the previous Windows platform, where the required documents were created) Unable to open pre-existing .doc files. If a document did try to open, it would immediately crash with a Windows error report. Other documents completely crashed Word/wine without even an error. - Installed the wine repo from ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa - Upgraded to wine1.3 and winetricks Still unable to open documents. Now they all crash Word/wine without any errors. - Ran winecfg and set richedit20.dll, richedit32.dll & msxml3.dll as navite (Windows) - installed riched30 through winetricks Attempting to open any documents results in Word crashing with a Windows error report, then trying to re-launch Word and recover the crashed document. Note that I can open and use Word by itself without any problems, but I cannot open any saved documents. At this point I attempted to reinstall/repair Office 2003. This did not change anything. I ran winword.exe from CLI and captured the following when I tried to open a document... $ wine WINWORD.EXE fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity (0x413ea8,-1,(nil),(nil),1,3,(nil),72,(nil)) - stub! err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {24e669e1-e90f-4595-a012-b0fd3ccc5c5a} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {24e669e1-e90f-4595-a012-b0fd3ccc5c5a} could be created for context 0x1 fixme:storage:Storage_ConstructTransacted Unimplemented flags 110022 fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_ExtEscape QUERYESCSUPPORT(25) - not supported. fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:msctf:ThreadMgrSource_AdviseSink (0x1e0738) Unhandled Sink: {6f77c993-d2b1-446e-853e-5912efc8a286} fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLockGranted OnLockGranted called for something other than an EditSession fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnStartEditTransaction STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnEndEditTransaction STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled fixme:shell:IShellView_fnSaveViewState (0x1e8140) stub fixme:shell:IShellView_fnSaveViewState (0xcda4a8) stub fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnStartEditTransaction STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:psdrv:PSDRV_DeviceCapabilities DC_BINADJUST: stub. fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x2194b8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x2194b8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x2194b8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLayoutChange STUB:(0x1e73d8) fixme:msctf:TextStoreACPSink_OnLockGranted OnLockGranted called for something other than an EditSession fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread Cannot get kerneltime or usertime of other threads fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet fixme:thread:NtQueryInformationThread info class 9 not supported yet fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L"Microsoft Office 11"): stub fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0000,0x000003e8,(nil),0x0008,0x000000ee,0x3009a1b4,0x4cc4c0): stub err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"winword.exe" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"11.0.6568.0" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"42e178a5" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"winword.exe" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"11.0.6568.0" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"42e178a5" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"0" err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"00068a09" fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub

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?

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.

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 27 Jul '11

27 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 21 Jul '11

21 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?
