what fresh kmenu hell is this?
by dep 13 Jun '21

13 Jun '21

now i was merrily editing my kmenu. saved it, opened it -- and it has sprouted a heretofore nonexistent category of "most used applications." it definitely wasn't there an hour ago. how do i make it go away? if you like it, i'm glad it's there for you. but i don't want it! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

Does opening /opt/trinity/bin in konqueror get you where you want to be? You can add a non-TDE button to a panel (see attached) and click on it to bring up the "menu". --Mike

(?) Interesting. In your screenshot the dropdownlist with the selectable soundcards is missing. Here's what I get on my system.

Installing TDE R14.0.10 on FreeBSD 13?
by Hunter 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

Hello everyone, I was advised to come here since I'm aware that there are at least a few that use TDE on FreeBSD. I have the port from the gitea repository but I've had a number of issues. I'm still fairly new to FreeBSD so sorry if I seem inexperienced. I am especially new to using ports since I only have one or two on my system. Let me try to elaborate what I've done so far: I first attempted installing TDE in the beginning of May, which is when I first switched from Devuan to FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE. This was right after the R14.0.10 release. I had the freebsd TDE folder and assumed I needed to build it with make install clean, as most ports are, and I (from what I remember) think it worked until I hit a snag. I stopped there and settled with Xfce which I was already using for the time being and completely forgot what the snag was. I then tried it again yesterday, as I missed using TDE very much (as its most certainly my favorite desktop environment, which is why I'm subbed to these lists now =D ). I removed my desktop environment and login manager (Xfce + LightDM), and cloned the tde-packaging freebsd port once again. I had to run /make install clean///as root (I used doas, probably also did this the first attempt and just forgot), and everything was good and well until about 30 minutes into the make process when I received an error about pinentry-tqt. You can see my issue here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde-packaging/issues/86. At this point, I was in a conversation on Matrix and a TDE user on Slackware was trying to help me out the best he could. I had been trying to fix it all day and by the end of it had a massive headache so I quit and installed Fluxbox temporarily (needed a way to communicate easier as well). I had tampered with the make directory quite a bit without backing it up so now I cloned it again and am making sure to keep an unmodified copy (so I don't have to go through the process of getting it all again with my horrible internet..) So this morning I'm back at square one, which is why I'm here to ask how did any of you install it on FreeBSD? Did you run into the same issues, and is there any idea how I can go about getting it to work? I feel like I'm probably doing something wrong. -- - Hunter aka hunter0one

Manually enter the folder of the package you like to buld, "make install clean", move to the next. Don't use the "big" Makefiles: /usr/ports/x11/trinity/Makefile .../applications/Makefile .../core/Makefile .../dependencies/Makefile .../libraries/Makefile - just use them to determine the order in wich the packages need to be built.

r14-xdg-update?
by dep 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

greetings, everybody . . . having just completed the ordeal of moving my ubuntu 18.04 install from a 2-tb drive that was popping up increasingly strident messages warning of its impending doom to a 6-tb drive and thus enduring the process of going from MBR to UEFI, the time fast approaches for me to go 18.04 > 20.04. before i do that, though, i thought i'd check and see if there's any definitive solution to the r14-xdg-update error messages that have come here at the startup of TDE (R14.0.10, currently) for many months now. in that i rarely reboot, it's not been a huge problem, but i presume they're there for a reason and before i upgrade i thought i'd try to fix the problem. i searched the archives and found no evidence of a solution. so: is there a solution? if there isn't, is there any harm in just clicking the (several) boxes that pop up and living with the perceived error? that's what i've been doing, but i've never been happy about it. thanks very much in advance for any useful information that might be proffered. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

correct apt repo line for R14.newest?
by Gene Heskett 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

I thought it unusual that this machine was not getting updates, while the one machine tool machine I had tde installed on was. So I looked at the repo list in synaptic and found the deb line for r14 had become unchecked. Checked it, and refreshed. That brought in 313 packages, or tried to, reporting that it wasn't successfull at pulling them all. But when it had installed what it could, I then did another refresh, but it then did not mark any more new ones. Ack the log, the server hung up on me. Since I was then about 110 days of uptime and that many updates it needed to restart the dbus apache2 and tdm kin. I checked them, clicked fwd and was greeted by a bash login on tty1. Logged in and did a sudo reboot. A bit slower than I recall, but but a lot was changed and things seem to be running ok now. But I am left with a suspicion I might not be pulling from the latest mirror. ISTR it was moved several months back, so would someone be kind enough to paste the latest repo line to me? Thanks a bunch. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

everything pretty much upgraded, except for . . .
by dep 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

. . . protonvpn, which i half expected (it blew up on 18.04 -> 20,04 on another machine here, too) and the sound system, to the extent that the little kmixer icon in kicker has a black stripe across it, as if it's in mourning for Nik's troubles of a few days ago. the whole thing has worked so well and for so ling that i've forgotten even where to look. guesses? all i know at this point is aforementioned apparent bereavement. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
