I have Ctrl+D to continue in recovery mode or type root passwd.

Cheers Michele Hi Michele, /var/log/tdm.log exists but empty. /var/log/tdm.1.log : "info: Cannot open master configuration file /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmdistrc". tdmdistrc doesn't exist in this folder. I can login to tde-desktop with lightdm, not with tdm-trinity. (even after a dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity). Now I have a clear understanding what happens without to be able to repair. The file /run/user/1000/ICEauthority is : -rw------- 1 andre andre 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority It becomes automatically quickly : -rw------- 1 root root 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority, after I receive the error messages allready indicated, DCOPserver and /home/andre./.Xauthority not writable : -rw------- 1 andre andre 59 22 déc. 17:18 .Xauthority It seems that there is a conflict between two users, root and andre. Thanks. Bye, cheers, André

Restore "classic" TDM look/functionality
by Hunter Ellett 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

In Slackware and also on FreeBSD (the latter if I recall), TDM has a different look than when I install it on something like Devuan for example. Particularly it has a rounded and transparent KDE4 "Oxygen" look to it, and the options in the Display Manager module do not work when this kind of TDM is installed, like adding a clock, the logo, or changing the widget style. Tdmtheme is not installed. I thought it was tdmtheme that changed it to look like this out of the box but it doesn't seem to be related. It looks to be the default in certain TDE ports. Secondly to keep from posting twice I also can't access the Display Manager module. If I click on it the window does not open, and I'm not sure what it depends on that I may be missing since this is on Slack. -- ~ Hunter Sent from my Android device with K9 Mail

Screen not blanking
by c. marlow 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Fresh install of Debian 11 ( as of yesterday) Trinity Desktop 14 My screen is not going to sleep.... Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. For instance: I took a nap earlier... The password box said the session was locked at 2:01 PM CST. At 3:00 the screen was still on!! Also when the screen does turn off, it takes WAYYYYYYYYY over the time that I have it set for to blank off and turn off the screen. I have it set for: 25 for screensaver 26 for display standby 26 for display suspend 26 min to power off the screen. Sometimes its almost or right at an hour before the screen blanks off. I didn't have this problem with Gnome DE on Debian. Thanks, Chris

Resend: Ubuntu 20.04 and problems with konqueror: copy and paste files to a USB stick does not work
by Uwe Brauer 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Sorry for possible double posting but that message got rejected somehow, it seems: Hi A friend of mine has Ubuntu 20.04 running (the installation is a year old and so is the corresponding trinity version, if necessary I can provide the precise version). In any case my friend has problem of copying files to USB sticks using konqeror. (The copying works from the command line, most sticks have vfat.), by problem with copying I mean the following. In konqueror: The file is marked to be copied, then the USB stick is opened, but the menu entry for pasting is in grey and cannot be used. I had a look at it and found out that deleting the cache helped, but it seems only for a while. Is there any alternative to konqueror available? Nautilus works, but is very very ugly and not that intuitive. Regards Uwe Brauer

Dcopserver not loading
by Ken Heard 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Very soon after I started to use the TDE 14.0.11 version I began receiving DCOP error messages, having the effect of preventing use of various applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. After online research and experimentation on my part I discovered that I could solve such preventions if before opening TDE I ran in a tty as root the following three commands: 'dcopserver -- serverid', which returned nothing, then 'dropserver' and finally again 'dcopserver -- serverid'. This time however that command returned something like the following: '[dcopserver] local/Morcom:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop5698-1636014592' >From this point on there were no longer any more DCOP error messages. I had full use of the TDE and various applications until when I next closed completely the computer. It is consequently my understanding that running the 'dcopserver' command is presumably required as part of the initial boot-up. If such is usually the case I would appreciate knowing what I need to do to have my computer, named Morcom, do so as well. Can anyone tell me?

Kontact
by c. marlow 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi, I am wondering, is Kontact the same thing as KMAIL? If so, I would rather have a newer version of KMAIL that comes with the Kontact flatpak than the version that comes with TDE. Chris

TDE Control Center is replacing utf8 characters in ~/.bashrc with trash
by Stefan Krusche 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi all, I found that TCC does overwrite ~/.bashrc. From my level of proficiency that is a no-go and should not happen at all, especially not without informing the user. What happens: All utf8 characters in .bashrc get replaced with strange characters when GTK2 Fonts are changed from the TCC GUI. Reproduce: I can reproduce this behaviour on my system by simply changing the configuration in TCC -> Appearance and Themes -> GTK Style and Fonts -> GTK2 Fonts: from "Use my TDE fonts" to "Use another font" or the other way around. I confirmed this misbehaviour within a new, pristine user account with a default debian .bashrc where I inserted three lines with utf8 characters: $ diff utf8.bashrc utf8-mangled.bashrc --- utf8.bashrc 2022-01-18 10:21:23.700348782 +0100 +++ utf8-mangled.bashrc 2022-01-18 10:31:59.659323727 +0100 @@ -3,11 +3,11 @@ # for examples -# Test Umlaut a: >ä< +# Test Umlaut a: >Ã¤< -# Test long hyphen: >–< +# Test long hyphen: >â< -# Test Euro currency symbol: >€< +# Test Euro currency symbol: >â¬< # If not running interactively, don't do anything case $- in Additional information: When the users .bashrc is owned by root then in ~/.xsession-errors of the user is reported this: [2022/01/18 10:24:59.374] TQFile::writeBlock: File (/home/user/.bashrc) not open (where "user" is the actual user name) Can anyone confirm this? I would then bugreport this phenomenon. Cheers, Stefan PS: I have been seeing this for years and never had a clue as to what causes it, phew! Now I caught it by accident just by observing the almost concurrent incidence of the phenomenon and changing GTK2 fonts in TCC.
