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?

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.

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.

Squeeze since
it will soon become oldstable.

New subject: Need some help with Trinity under Debian Squeeze
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 don't think this is caused by cleaning up home directory, I suspect some packages
to be causing
this.
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.
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

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

I managed to solve this

able to
start Trinity.

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.

As long as you do not have any GTK 3.x applications installed, GTK/TDE

Go to the Login

I think I know what you want to do, but I don't know if TDE provides an

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.

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?
Try Control Center > Appearance & Themes > Icons > Advanced > Dekstop /
File Manager and turn off Show icon activation effect.
6. External drives are opened in new Konqueror windows when
automounted. How do I make them open in new tabs instead?
Try Control Center > Internet & Network > Web Browser > Web Behavior and
turn on Open links in new tab instead of in new window.

Updating the translations is one of the things that I want to pursue once
released the final 3.5.13.1. Stay tuned :)

This does not work. I have
all checkboxes unchecked for all icon types and I still get the
activation effetct.

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?

Do you plan to update Polish
translations as well? :)

To clarify - this happens only with drives to which I
assigned a specific mounting location.

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?

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).

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.

1. My WiFi didn't work because I had no firmware

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.

3. In relation to discussion in another thread - I was
able to import my
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.
