Okay, so here's my problem. I want a basic calculator, at least the 4
functions, although I don't mind having other goodies, but I really just need
a basic calculator for doing simple tasks like figuring out whether I have
any money left in my account.
I got kcalc-trinity downloaded, managed to change the colors to make it more
visible, but now I find that it cannot be resized, nor the size of characters
in the display enlarged.
If not a Trinity program, then I'd be glad to try a non-TDE program, but there
again I run into the same problem with every calculator I've tried. The only
other one that I use sometimes is galculator, but while I can enlarge its
size, the characters stay so tiny that I cannot read them, cannot make out
the difference between x, +, and so on, and the keypad also has unreadable
numbers.
There was one that I remembered, qalculate, of which there was supposed to be
a Trinity version, but neither the Trinity version nor any others (Gnome,
gtk, etc.) with download and install. Something about dependencies, it seems,
but when I did a search for the deb package, I get only an error page.
Is there any calculator that I can resize both the gui frame of the program
(not sure if that's the right terminology) as well as the size of the
characters? Or is there some way that I could hack the Trinity version of
kcalc to make it bigger?

I need a sound played 10 minutes before each hour during the work day, such
that it does not interfere with what’s on the screen, grab the mouse, or grab
the keyboard. Scheduling it with cron is easy, but I can’t seem to get the
sound to play reliably. I’m currently using:
/usr/bin/play --no-show-progress --volume .5 /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Connect.ogg
Sometimes that plays other times it’s silent.
I’ve also tried:
kaboodle /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Event_2.ogg
Which always plays, but I don’t know how to start it either minimized, closed
to the system tray, or some other way so it doesn’t cause issues. I’ve seen
some hokey solutions using wmctrl and/or xdotool, but they still pop up the
program (kaboodle) before minimizing it.
AV isn’t really my forte, and I don’t really care what program works, does
anyone have experience doing something like this?
Thanks,
Michael
Not sure what caused this weirdness, but I thought it best to make a report,
just in case it actually matters.
I was trying to find a desktop calculator that I actually like, and among
those that I downloaded was kcalc-trinity, which I've used before. But when I
downloaded my list of packages and dependencies, I kept getting an error
message:
Err:1 http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing
chimaera/main amd64 kcalc-trinity amd64 4:14.1.0~s244-0debian11.0.0+12
404 Not Found [IP: 37.205.10.16 80]
E: Failed to fetch
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing/pool/main/…
404 Not Found [IP: 37.205.10.16 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try
with --fix-missing?
After trying apt-get build-dep, and then apt-get update, which did not improve
my results, it occurred to me to try changing my sources.list from Devuan
Chimaera to Debian Bullseye; and presto! worked like a charm.
Some may recall an earlier discussion (when Leslie was attempting a new Devuan
installation), I posited my opinion that there is probably no difference
between these packages when it comes to third-party repositories (such as
Trinity itself). From what I can tell, third-party developers thus far do not
create special Devuan packages, and most do not even acknowledge the
existence of Devuan, so Debian packages work just fine.
For the Trinity repositories, I assume that the link to Chimaera packages is
just a redirect to the Debian packages. Otherwise, this would be a
reduplication of effort and server space, If this is wrong, I expect to be
corrected by somebody who knows better. However, this seems like proof of
concept, since the package was available by changing to the Debian links.
I do know that Debian and Devuan packages definitely should not be used
interchangeably. When Devuan was first forked, this was almost true, except
for a few systemd-dependent items, but now they have diverged more and more.
These changes do not appear to have prompted third-party developers to create
packages specifically for Devuan, but I am sure that this will be changing.
It could be that this package alone is missing, or that there is a problem
with the link to this server, or that redirection is failing, or whatever.
But I did try several times, with the same bad result, and after changing the
lines in my sources.list for the Trinity repositories, everything worked like
normal.
By the way, I am using the PTB repositories now, following Slavek's recent
recommendation.

Hi
When running
git log --graph --all --decorate --color=always --pretty=short| git name-rev --stdin | less
I see
* ESC[33mcommit 9dc21b3902a819796d1ba3bc7654733ab00e6e75 (feature)ESC[mESC[33m (ESC[mESC[36mHEADESC[mESC[33m -> ESC[mESC[32mfeature
ESC[mESC[33m)ESC[m
However
git log --graph --all --decorate --color=always --pretty=short| git name-rev --stdin | less -R
Works as expected.
Any idea what is wrong in my setting (this happens in tcsh or bash
shell)
Regards
Uwe Brauer

Hello all,
I have installed MX-Linux 21 on a laptop (with xfce). For some things I find
xfce quite nice to use, but I decided to install TDE too (actually I have one
user configured to start xfce and another TDE).
I followed the wiki and created a tde.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d,
downloaded the keyring and apt-get updated.
- Everything installed fine (using the preliminary builds) and TDE is running
OK
- However, when running apt-get update I got this (at the end of the update):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/cnf-update-db", line 26, in <module>
col.create(db)
File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 95,
in create
self._fill_commands(con)
File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 143,
in _fill_commands
self._parse_single_contents_file(con, f, fp.stdout)
File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/db/creator.py", line 282,
in _parse_single_contents_file
priority = component_priorities[component]
KeyError: 'deps-r14'
It does not seem to hurt, but I wonder what it is.
Using the regular stable release has the same effect, commenting all lines in
tde.list results in no message, so it's linked to the tde repositories
somehow.

Hi all,
you might have been used to the fact that after the release of a new
version, a new development window was soon opened and new packages started
arriving in the PSB repository. You've probably noticed that this time is
different.
We are planning to move forward and release the first version of the new
series - R14.1.0 - at the next release cycle.
There are no active plans for another release in the R14.0.x series, but
for now we're leaving the possibility open for a R14.0.14 window in case
there are some important reasons to release such a version.
Therefore, here is important information regarding the apt sources of PSB
and PTB.
If you would like to get involved now in testing the upcoming R14.1.0, you
can set your apt sources to PTB repository and you will get the current
state of R14.1.0~pre. You don't have to worry that this is a "testing"
version - it's very stable and suitable for everyday use and packages are
available for all supported distributions - old stable, stable, testing,
unstable.
Some time in future, when it will be clear that nothing prevents the next
release to be R14.1.0, the content of the PSB repository will be updated
to match the PTB. Until then, there will be no activity in the PSB
repository. We will inform you before this update is made.
If you are using PSB and wish to stay on the current stable release, this
is a good time to switch from PSB to official release sources.
Thank you for your support!
Cheers

I can't get rid of a spurious empty KPDF entry in my TDE
menu. If I delete or cut it and save it's still there.
Otherwise TDE menu editor works correctly and I can add
and remove entries.
I've looked in ~/.trinity/share/config/* and /usr/share/menu/*
and can't find anything that might be causing it. Is there
anything else I should check or do?
Thanks,

Hi
I am on Ubuntu 16.04 and
trintiy 4:14.0.11~pre46-0ubuntu16.04.0+7
Now I swore I did this for years: lock session and log in as a different user, without really logging out and in.
But in the attached screenshot, I cannot find this entry anymore!
What do I miss?
Thanks and regards

When my /proc/cmdline includes a 3, and/or when
# systemctl get-default
multi-user.target
and TDM is not running, doing an apt-get upgrade that includes a newer tdm, starts
tdm, wresting the console from whatever I am doing while the upgrade is in
process. I don't want that to happen. It's very disturbing. Is there a way to
configure it only to restart, but never start, as a result of an
apt/apt-get/aptitude installation or upgrade process?
