Dear list,
Yesterday I decided to install latest openSUSE (12.2) on one of my laptops. Suse provides KDE3 repositories, though I know not everything went smooth with these builds in the past. I started in the morning and after spending whole day on installing, configuring and solving problems I realized that I'm not even halfway finished! The problem is that KDE3 is not being updated to work with some system services and thus many features just don't work out of the box, e.g. unmounting of auto-mounted drives or adding new internet connections to NetworkManager (I suspect polkit to be the culprit). In desperation I installed KDE4, since I need a working computer, but now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I am considering switching to Debian or Ubuntu (though there are no packages for 12.04 LTS!) so I can install Trinity. I am worried however that I might encounter similar problems as with KDE. So my big question is: does Trinity provide all these basic fetures like automounting, network management etc. out-of-the-box or does it require to spend a lot of time to configure the system?

All are provided out of the box, provided network-manager is <= 0.8. We do have network-manager >= 0.9 support in testing for the upcoming R14 release, along with HAL- and DBUS-less mount support.
Our 3.15.13.1 Stable Relase Update (SRU) will be publicly released along with packages for Ubuntu Precise in the next week or two, though I would recommend sticking with a slightly older version of Ubuntu (e.g. Oneiric or Natty) due to some fairly serious bugs in Precise itself which are not TDE specific.
If you have any additional questions feel free to ask!

Thank you very much for quick response Tim! I guess that I'd rather go with Debian than Ubuntu. AFAIK Squeeze has network-manager 0.8.1, so it should work, right?
Another question came to my mind while reading other threads in the list. It was mentioned that some programs from KDE era are not binary compatible with TDE. Is there any way to check if a probgram will work with TDE? Probably not, but could you tell me where can I find list of packages offered by TDE so I can check if the programs I need are included?
Is there a way to migrate my mails from KDE3 to TDE?

I believe so, however I will let someone on the list who has actually done this migration respond with more information. ;-)

FWIW, in spite of a lot of help, I am failing dismally at this at this very moment. If I succeed I'll let you know how. I have to have these emails in their folders. And although I suppose that KDE 4 is marginally better than suicide, it is not by much.
Good luck! Lisi

In principle migration should be a matter of: 1.) Moving your mailbox from the old ~/.kde3 directory to the new ~/.trinity directory 2.) Replacing all instances of ".kde3" with ".trinity" in ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc
Both those steps should be completed BEFORE starting TDE's kmail for the first time--if kmail is launched without the changes, it might very well rewrite your kmailrc file in response to not finding its mailboxes, and make recovery a whole lot more difficult. Needless to say it is a good idea to back up your home directory before moving to a new system! ;-)

that is what I did long time ago, and it worked :) alternatively, one coud also archive all emails in kde3 (folder->archive folder from kmail menu) which will create a tar.bz2 file containing all emails. this file can then be imported from a fresh kmail instance in trinity.

Hello, I did not try KDE3 on OpenSuse, but I guess that automounting/unmouting should work out ot the box, since it's using HAL. If not, I think it's a bug for KDE3.
About network management, I don't think we have anything usable yet in TDE. On my side, I'm using gnome's nm-applet for this purpose.
If you can wait some more days, we are about to release TDE 3.5.13.1, an updated 3.5.13 version, which will be available for OpenSuse 12.2 and Ubuntu Precise, among others. So you can try it and post feedback.
The future TDE R14 version should support media mounting and network-manager without 3rd party software (no more HAL, no more gnome utilities), but it's still in development.

Hello, I did not try KDE3 on OpenSuse, but I guess that automounting/unmouting should work out ot the box, since it's using HAL. If not, I think it's a bug for KDE3.
I also think it's KDE3 bug. Well, automounting works, but when I try to unmount the drive in media:/ I get error claiming that I have no permissions to do so.
About network management, I don't think we have anything usable yet in TDE. On my side, I'm using gnome's nm-applet for this purpose.
I also use nm-applet. The problem is that when I ran it under KDE3 it seemed crippled, as it was unable to record new connections (both user and system wide connections) and send any commands to NetworkManager. Coping configuration files from old installation to appropriate dir in /etc made these conectios available, but still this was not what I expected :/ Anyway, if nm-applet works in TDE and allows to add and control connections without any problem then I'm happy.
If you can wait some more days, we are about to release TDE 3.5.13.1, an updated 3.5.13 version, which will be available for OpenSuse 12.2 and Ubuntu Precise, among others.
Promise? If so, then I can wait, though I was desperate to get my system up and running till the end of week. I am still considering Debian, though I'm a bit reluctant to go with Squeeze since it will soon become oldstable.
So you can try it and post feedback.
Oh believe me, you will hear me complaining.... :)
BTW. What are these problems in LTS 12.04 that you mentioned Tim? I have some friends using this Ubuntu and i didn't hear any complaints from them.

That I guarantee, seeing as it was the only option under Debian Wheezy/Ubuntu Precise for a while. Note that the Ubuntu Precise nm-applet version has a bug that randomly renders it unusable; see below.

We are building Wheezy packages for R14, and I have successfully booted TDE on Wheezy/armel as of a few days ago, so upgrading from Squeeze when Wheezy is released shouldn't be too difficult.
So you can try it and post feedback.
Oh believe me, you will hear me complaining.... :)
BTW. What are these problems in LTS 12.04 that you mentioned Tim? I have some friends using this Ubuntu and i didn't hear any complaints from them.
When used over almost any kind of remote connection Xlib segfaults on XRandR access, rendering the system almost unusable. Add in the nm-applet icon randomly disappearing when used outside of Unity (including under XFCE), two different GTK toolkits in use (v2 and v3), and a few other issues and the overall system begins to feel very unpolished and downright buggy.
Hope this helps!

Hi guys,
following yesterdays discussion I installed Debian Squeeze with Trinity. I encountered some problems I am unable to resolve.
1. At first Trinity worked OK. I installed some additional packages I will be needing. Then I realized that I didn't format my /home partition used previousle by KDE4. Since I wanted a clean install I logged out and removed all files in ~. Now I can't log into Trinity - when I try to do that all I get is a blue background and I have to power off my laptop (can't even reset X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). In ~/.xsession-errors I see something like this:
[startkde] kdeinit started successfully. [trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Connection refused kdeinit: Pipe closed unexpectedly: No such file or directoy kdeinit: Launched DCOPServier, pid = 2778 result = 1 kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. QSettings::synx: failed to open '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc.tmp' for writing KCrash: crashing.. crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = ksmserver path = <unknown> pid = 2774 [trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Połączenie odrzucone KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! [startkde] Shutting down Trinity... [trinity kinit] Warrning: connect() failed: Connection refused [trinity kinit] Error: Can't contact kdeinit! [startkde] Running Trinity shutdown scripts... [startkde] Trinity shutdown complete
I don't think this is caused by cleaning up home directory, I suspect some packages to be causing this. Perhaps something related to Qt?
2. Assuming I will be able to run TDE again, I am unable to get NetworkManager to work. I use nm-applet. I can add the wireless connection, but I am unable to store password (the field is always empty, despite me saving the password). Moreover, nm-applet doesn't list any wirelesss networks and when I choose to connect to hidden network and select my connection the "Connect" button is grayed out.
I need your help guys. Seriously.

I would have said that it probably _is_ caused by your deletion of your home directory files. I had very similar problems yesterday after making alterations to my home. After every error message, I tried to put right whatever it was complaining about, but things just got worse. I could login to LXDE, but not to Trinity. So it obviously _was_ at the level of Trinity, not the system.
Finally I solved Trinity's refusal even to open by creating another user and starting afresh. I now have a functioning TDE again, but have not yet transferred my emails and folders, which is what I was trying to do when the problem arose.

I have managed this on my netbook, which is Squeeze + Trinity, by installing Wicd, which I prefer anyway.

I managed to solve this one. As I suspected the problem was with packages responsible for qt-gtk cooperation. I removed gtk2-engines-gtk-qt-trinity and gtk-qt-engine-trinity and I'm able to start Trinity.

I'd like to make NM work, but if no one will tell me how to deal with this problem then I'll give Wicd a try.

It looks like you might be affected by this Debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578587
Regarding the wireless problem, is your network device firmware configured properly? One way to tell is to run "ifconfig -a" and make sure a wlan0 entry shows up. Other than that, I have noticed that nm-applet is not exactly user-friendly; if one little field is not configured correctly it won't enable the "Connect" or "Save" buttons, and it won't tell you what you did wrong either.

Yes, the interface is visible in 'ifconfig -a'. I have Intel card that never caused any problems under Linux. I tried starting gnome-keyring-daemon manually. The only imporvement I got was asking me for a password to securely store my wifi password but it wasn't saved anyway.

I think I got all the fileds right. I'm getting a bit frustrated about NM. It caused me a lot of problems in the past and it's causing them once again. In fact these error seems to be exactly the same as the one I was getting on suse 12.2 and KDE3. Looks as though nm-applet had no permissions to manage connections.
Did anyone have similar problems with gtk-qt packages I mentioned earlier? Right now GTK appications look horrible, I'd like to get integration working. Surprisingly I see files .gtkrc-2.0-kde4 and .gtkrc-2.0-kde-kde4 in my ~, though I didn't use KDE4.
And a few other things: - can I disbale the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" dialog in KDM? - is there a package that provides DMZ cursor theme for X? - can I decrease the size of panel applet responsible for switching between desktops? In KDE3 when I select "elegant" as a background option the applet becomes small so that each desktop is represented by a square icon, while in Trinity this applet is actually quite wide. I don't know if it's clear what I want to achieve. If no then I'll provide a screenshot.

The password saving problem sounds like a network-manager bug to me. I have not had much luck with nm-applet over the years, which is why TDE R14 will include tdenetworkmanager as a replacement.

As long as you do not have any GTK 3.x applications installed, GTK/TDE integration should work just fine (I use it daily).
And a few other things:
- can I disbale the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del" dialog in KDM?
Go to the Login Manager KControl module and uncheck the SAK dialog box.
- is there a package that provides DMZ cursor theme for X?
apt-get install dmz-cursor-theme

I think I know what you want to do, but I don't know if TDE provides an option to do it. If not, I would consider that a bug and ask you to file a bug report on it.

I managed to resolve some problems that I mentioned in my previous mail and encounter some new ones.
1. My WiFi didn't work because I had no firmware package installed. It was quite a surprise, since kernel module loaded without problems and the card was detected. After installing the firmware wifi works but I couldn't force nm-applet to work properly, so I installed kdenetworkmanager-trinity instead. Works prefectly, at least so far.
2. I reinstalled packages responsible for gtk-qt integration. TDE does start, but integration breaks some software, e.g. Eclipse won't start and displays such message on the console:
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = gtk-qt-application path = <unknown> pid = 15658
3. In relation to discussion in another thread - I was able to import my emails without problems.
A few more questions related with fine-tuning TDE:
4. When I open a file or change a directory in Konqueror there is an animation (the icon sort of zooms in and fades out). How can I disable it?
5. Can I get rid of "Hibernate" and "Suspend" buttons on the logout screen?
6. External drives are opened in new Konqueror windows when automounted. How do I make them open in new tabs instead?
7. I'm using kdesvn with konqueror integration. I would like to place SVN view icon on the toolbar so that I can switch to kdesvn with one click and when I'm in svn mode I'd like to have an icon that allows to switch back to detailed list view. Right now I have a widget that shows "detaliled list view" icon when I'm in detailed list view icon and I have to click&hold it and select svn view from the dropdown menu. In SVN mode it's the reverse (I have to select "detailed list view" from the dropdown menu instead of just clicking the icon). I had my desired behaviour in KDE3, but I don't know how to set it up in Trinity.
8. How do I prevent archives from being displayed in the directory tree in the side panel in Konqueror?
9. TDE has missing translations for features that were not present in KDE. Is there an easy way in which I can help with translations?
I also encountered some bugs, I'll be filling the reports soon.

This does not work. I have all checkboxes unchecked for all icon types and I still get the activation effetct.
Try Control Center > Internet & Network > Web Browser > Web Behavior and turn on Open links in new tab instead of in new window.
Thanks! Now however the new disk opens in /media/disk instead of media:/disk. The difference is that now I have to open media:/ location from the menu to unmount the disk. On KDE3 I just kept going to the folder above until I was in media:/ an then I could unmount the disk. Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Polish of course I can not. The first step is to update the "po" files, in order to be possible to translate the missing texts.
To update translations we welcome volunteers who can translate texts into their own languages. I'll be glad when you're interested update translations into Polish. Do you think you managed to get one more volunteer with whom you could revise translations of each other?

To update translations we welcome volunteers who can translate texts into their own languages. I'll be glad when you're interested update translations into Polish.
I am interested, if the only thing I will need to do is translating texts. I wouldn't like to play with setting up all sorts of complicated development environments or studd like that (not that I cannot do it, just don't have that much time).
Do you think you managed to get one more volunteer with whom you could revise translations of each other?
I'll see what I can do but I think this will be a problem.

You do not have to be worried. I want to take care of "technical" part, so that translators can focus on their own translations. :)

It would be an advantage if you are at least two. I am not able to revise the Polish, so I would not be able to help with the unveiling of typos or other errors. When you have a collaborator, you'll have an easier quality control of translations. But of course we appreciate any help.

I have a friend with whom I can consult my translations - he did consult me when he was translating VirtualBox, I think he will return the favor. :) I think I'll catch the typos myself when using Trinity.

quite a surprise, since kernel module loaded without problems and the card was detected. After installing the firmware wifi works but I couldn't force nm-applet to work properly, so I installed kdenetworkmanager-trinity instead. Works prefectly, at least so far.
This is a "feature" of new installations of Debian from Squeeze onwards.
Is this perhaps where this problem arose?
I realise that you know much more than I do in general, so I am only offering this tentatively.

emails without problems.
I think that I am the only person ever to have any problems, let alone an intractable one. I had the same problem when I tired to switch to Squeeze and Trinity last year, so went back to Lenny. I can only assume that there is something in my data that is causing this problem.
