Objet : [trinity-users] PCLOS updated report 2
ok I'm using an ISO entitled
PCLinuxOS_no_TDE_remaster_5sept2015
I don't know who mastered it but so far, it's a good one.
gphotoframe, was in one of the working reps so I tried it.
Hello Kate,I'm happy that you are enjoying my
remaster :) What issues have
you been having with synaptic? I'll be happy to help in any way I can
Alie (present_arms)
Very charming and that would be lovely. Again, I don't know if it's your
remaster, but I would like to try it if you can give me a DL link.
Ok bugs:
1. Synaptic, not all the reps are working. So it can't dl some packages so
the rep sets need updating.
2. Kipi plugins are not see by the "kde3" version of digikam and perhaps
other kde3 versions of other softwares that use it.
3. When assigning an icon to say, a directory or app icon, if you backspace
to delete a typo, the dialog crashes. Often taking the associated app with
it (for example konqueror).
4. plugged in devices such as usb sticks don't always show up in kwikdisk.
5. During one test the netapplet asked for a root password but then
rejected it. Never bothered to trace it since I wreaked the install during
tests and reinstalled.
6. when using a settings tool like kcontrol. Once I apply a change, I need
to close it up and reopen it to order to make further changes. This also
happens when I right click on the taskbar to make changes there as well.
Seems to be Trinity related.
That's all I have for now. I'd like to know who's remaster this is for
sure. Now that I'm into heavy testing (sounds pervy, sorry), I'd like to
work / help with the author as much as me limited skills will allow.
Perhaps learn much in the process, always a plus.
I'm really looking for a none ubuntu (no offense) systemd free distro to
replace me fav distro, who's last release was 2008. Tis a wee bit out of
date but amazingly reliable, stable and configurable. I have it so
customized it dances.
Another things I can do without a problems is use /home/foo/setting as the
user directory. Then I place other dirs in /home/foo such
as /home/foo/User_Files, /foo/Multimedia.
Doing this makes it easier to backup what would normally be splashed out
within the user's dir. I have found it makes it easy for windows user and
anyone in general to make backups easier. It also makes it easy for some
delete happy people who are told not to touch that dir for any reason.
I just reset paths for documents and deskop (which is now in user files)
and we are good go do. Been using it for years. Never lost any data, even
after HD failures.
Cheers to all,
Kate

Hi kate,
It is really nice to ses that you took some time to try my PCLinuxOS TDE
remaster (yes, by the name of the iso I can say that it's mine).
It's also sad to ses that you had some issues with the repos, but I think
that I was using a temporary repo that Francois Andriot made available to
me. In this case, you can édit your sources.list file as in the pclinuxos
installation page on this site.
Also, several bugs has been introduced in the TDE r14 series, versus
3.5.13.2, who was rock solid. It will improve over time, and it also has
new feature. It is very important for the users to take some time to report
bugs in TDE, because the devs and testers (as me) have different ''testing
paths'', so some bugs might be overlooked.
Thank you very much!

No thank you
very much!
If you would like, I can work with you to test it further. I have about 5
machines and 3 laptops I can use for your releases.
Let me know if this is agreeable.
Kate
