Adjusting the colours of the Konsole display
by J Leslie Turriff 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

I'm trying out the Fish shell, which uses dynamic colouring of input and output strings. Some of the colours in the Linux Colors scheme are really hard to read (see attached), but there doesn't seem to be a way to change them? Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64) Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.13 tde-config: 1.0

Need feedback on feature idea: Keyboard layouts set up on first start
by blu.256 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Hello everyone! I have been working on some fixes improvements to KXkb, the TDE keyboard tool and layout switcher¹. The fixes should make configuring keyboard layouts easier and should solve some long-standing issues with keyboard switching (e.g. Bugzilla issue #100). One of the improvements that I have been thinking to include but for which I need user feedback concerns TDEPersonalizer, the wizard that gets shown on the first run of the desktop, or later, at users' choice. The first step of this wizard lets you choose your country and system language. The idea is that based on this information, the keyboard layouts will be conveniently set up for you with a sane default, with minimal need for user feedback (who can later adjust this default manually). But the problem is that I am not sure what that default should be. If you consider, for example, cyrillic languages or greek, a good default, in my opinion, would be a combination of the standard latin layout (English) plus the layout of that language (so you have two layouts that you can switch between). If you take languages based on the latin alphabet though (e.g. Italian, French, Czech etc.) users might not actually need a latin layout, so they will be fine with just the layout of the keyboard layout of their own language. A good solution IMO would be adding a checkbox just below country and language selection that would let you enable/disable the English layout. This checkbox would not be shown if the language you selected is already English (US, UK or any variant). So, I am asking for your feedback, especially those of you who use non-English keyboard layouts: What do you think of this idea? Do you think the checkbox approach is good enough? What should be the default state of the checkbox, enable or disable English layout? Please take in mind beginner Trinity users too. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated! -- Philippe MAVRIDIS ¹ The relevant pull request is here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/304 You can take a look at the discussion that has already happened thereif you want. P.S. I've been having problems with GMail and the mailing list. This must be the fourth time I'm trying to send this e-mail. I'm resending this from the e-mail address that I have on ProtonMail.

Trying to install Trinity on rhel9
by Ricardo Telichevesky 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hello, Having problems with dependency on rocky-backgrounds and rocky-logos .... I followed the steps in here ... https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/RedHat_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… enabled EPEL, RPMFUSION, installed http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/el9/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarc… However, if I try to install trinity, I get the message: [super@legendre ~]$ sudo yum install trinity-desktop-all [sudo] password for super: Last metadata expiration check: 0:29:58 ago on Tue 27 Dec 2022 06:14:48 PM -03. Error: Problem: package trinity-desktop-all-14.0.13-1.el9.noarch requires trinity-desktop = 14.0.13, but none of the providers can be installed - package trinity-desktop-14.0.13-1.el9.noarch requires trinity-tdebase >= 14.0.13, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests - nothing provides rocky-backgrounds needed by trinity-tdebase-14.0.13-1.el9.x86_64 - nothing provides rocky-logos needed by trinity-tdebase-14.0.13-1.el9.x86_64 (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Tried to add --skip-broken and --nobest didn't help. Somehow the trinity for rhel9 depends on the rocky packages - that does not make any sense, does it? What should I do? Thanks for helping, Ricardo

Found a free Book for Qt3
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Hi all! The 2004 book "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 (ISBN 0-13-124072-2)" that's mentioned in http://trinitydesktop.org/docs/qt3/how-to-learn-ntqt.html is available for free now at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/245591968_C_GUI_Programming_with_Q… Things to note: - Names changed from "Qt..." to "TQt..." - compiling by hand needs something like "g++ a.cpp $(pkgconf tqt --cflags --libs) -lstdc++" - "qmake -project ..." will not include the TDE folders, so you'll have to add them manually to the *.pro file - When in doubt: http://trinitydesktop.org/docs/qt3/ Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Direct shutdown of Block screen (feature request)
by Christian Schmitz 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

Hi everyone: First, happy new year. I have a notebook with opensuse tumbleweed and trinity desktop. I configure it to enter on sleep when the lid is closed. I found that several times i open lind and as there is no led or signal that the system is on sleep i press the power button. Actually the system trap the power request, show the unlock screen. But when i write the password the system shutdown. This trigger 2 question/suggest/ideas: 1) The system must allow shutdown even on unlock screen ( or be configurable), is no sense request the password to shutdown the computer because never is required in normal use. ( the login is automatic, and i can shutdown from TDE without password). About software active we can look windows 10 that: Send the shutdown signal and open a "waiting for XXX to close" 2) Normally if the screen is off when the uthe user press power, mean that the user want turn on the computer (only that dont know that already is on). So the user don't want shutdown that is the actual behavior. So i suggest that if the screen is off when the user push the button appear the shutdown options (off, hibernate, suspend ) Best regards Christian -- Be Free, Be Linux

tdevelop
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 31 Dec '22

Hi all! I just played around with tdevelop to build a simple test-application. However, I did not succeed. Is there anybody on the list who has actually used tdevelop to build a TQT3 or QT3 application that actually compiled and worked?

2 login sessions at once?
by Michael 17 Dec '22

17 Dec '22

Maybe an odd question? Can you run two, or more, logins for the same user at the same time? (Say the normal one on Crtl-Alt-F7 and an extra one on Crtl-Alt-F5?) I have an app that behaves badly that I’d like to isolate to its own instance of TDE. (There’s no fix for it and when it it goes bad it requires a desktop restart.) Doable? Or anyway to do something equivalent? Thanks all, Michael
