REPOSTING, THE PREVIOUS MAIL WAS INCOMPLETE, SORRY..
Hello,
I am happily using Trinity since a couple of years, and never had any
insolvable issues with it. However, currently I am standing before a
"blocker" confguration issue, and would highly appreciate some useful
hint/help from the community.
This is what happens:
- I've installed a remote Centos 7 host equipped with a complete Trinity
14.0.3-1.el7.x86_64 desktop. The desktop is being accessed via Freenx and,
as this machine will also be used by people with French and German
keyboards, the working keyboard switcher apllet present in the 14.03 distro
seems to become a really indispensable feature.
- Everyrthing seemingly works well, the desktop looks beautiful, but very
soon I discovered that there is a couple off issues. In particular, I
cannot start emacs on this machine, it ends up with this error: [ Undefined
color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" ]. Atfter a bit of googling, it came out that
this is a known problem, and it has to do with KDE configuration. People
then stated the the issue was essentially solved by simply migrating to the
updated version of KDE and no other clues were provided.
- After quite some time spent on searches, I decided to replace
"dot.trinity" and "dot.tderc" with their well-customized versions
taken
from one of my working Centos 6 machines with Trinity 3.5.13-15.1 (which in
turn, inherited them from Centos 5 with KDE 3.5.4-1). Surprise: emacs
worked like a charm, and also some other issues like remote app submission
not working before were gone!
- The old "dot.trinity" configuration, however, has an outdated K-menu, and
it does not allow me to add the Keyboard Switcher applet. Thus I have a
sort of a "blocker" situation. On one hand, I am almost done with an old
"dot.trinity" and may dig in further and try to replace the K-menu under
dot.trinity/share/config (this would hopefully give me a chance to add the
switcher). Or I have to dig more into the issue of the brand-new install
(no good ideas of where to begin, though..)
The funny thing is, there is in fact an almost-working solution. Thus it is
only a
TDE configuration issue: something is present, or missing, or set up in a
wrong way..
Thanks a lot ahead for any there or a useful hint on how to proceed!
Andy.
