[trinity-users] What has to be done to keep updates from obliterating my tdmrc customizations?
by Felix Miata 03 Sep '17

03 Sep '17

This has been happening on all 14.0.x installations to Debian and openSUSE. I know I can lock it down with chattr, but that leaves the package managers showing what appears to be that tdm latest is not installed, and a would be tdmrc replacement sitting in /etc/trinity/tdm/. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Trinity and Gnome son't see the same screen
by Thierry de Coulon 02 Sep '17

02 Sep '17

I have a laptop (Thinkpad X220t) freshly reinstalled with latest openSuSE (I did not yet have time to check under other distributions). I installed Trinity over Gnome 3; If I boot and start Trinity (first user) I have nothing on the external screen (which is a beamer, 1024x768). Internal screen is at 1366*900. If I start a second user (under Gnome) the internal screen resizes to 1024x768 and I get an image on the beamer. Thierry

[trinity-users] "could not find module 'kde-fonts'"
by Felix Miata 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

That's the response to: tdecmshell fonts This isn't the first time I've had to ask this, but I can never remember how to locate anything that provided an answer, likely because I've asked on IRC, where I have no archive, instead of here. Other than kinfocenter5, I don't see any package or menu item containing infocenter either. It's also missing from the KControl window. What package contains the fonts module in 14.0.4? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[trinity-users] window decorations stuck on tiny
by Felix Miata 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

14.0.4 Nothing I can find in KControl makes any titlebar objects bigger. I would expect something in either Window Decorations or Icons, but no joy. Among icons, several of the types offer only the default smallest size, 16px or 22px. trinity-accessibility is not installed, but I'm avoiding trying it because I don't expect to need kmag, msayit, kttsd or kmousetool, which trying to install it seems to require. Is there some special theme required? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

mime types from extensions only?
by wofgdkncxojef 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

konqueror can only tell file types from the extensions? I used KDE3 a long time ago, and then KDE4, so i might be confused. I have the impression that KDE3 could tell a file type with out depending on the extension. Right? I did something wrong with the config, or didn't install a package? The preview of folders is a KDE4 thing too? (Linux mint 18.2 mate 64bit)

Displays ... again ...
by Peter Laws 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

CentOS 7 current, TDE current. Nvidia Quadro M2000 (4 x DP out), 2 x Dell P2416D displays. Applied patches last week and one of them (that seemed to be related to the Nvidia proprietary drivers) blew up the system. Eventually ended up re-installing in an ultimately-failed bid to get productive again (this is my work system). Decided to forgo the Nvidia drivers and use the open source stuff. Xrandr is a nightmare though, so I thought "well, just use the TDE built-in screen controls". Problem is that System Settings -> Monitor & Display can only see one of the displays. How do I get it to see the 2nd display? Yes, it's plugged in. Yes, I've checked "Enable global display control". Yes, I've clicked "Rescan Displays" (many times). "Test Settings" gets me "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default". Not sure the system is seeing the first display correctly even though it's working (I am typing this message on it) because while is sees 2560 x 1440 pixel, it thinks the refresh rate is 0 Hz (though, again, its working). Do I have to create and edit an Xorg.conf? Because I tried that and it didn't go well not to mention defeating the purpose of a "settings" GUI ... -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

TDE opens "Removable Device" notifier twice
by Gerhard Zintel 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hi list, I'm on TDE R14.0.4, Mint 18 installation. If I insert any USB memory stick I get two icons on the desktop and two pop-up windows notifying me "a new medium has been detected". E.g. one icon gives hint "/dev/sdd", the other one "/dev/sdd1". One of both mounts device, the other one states "unable to open device" even if I press it first. The correct message is: ========= snip =============== Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd ========= snip =============== Anyone any idea where to look for this problem? Even an USB printer opens a notifier window asking what to do with the removable device. I already moved away the .trinity folder and logged in again without success. Any help is appreciated Gerhard PS: I could try to chose 'do nothing' and check the 'always do this for this type of media' checkbox for the non working device but I fear, that afterwards even the correct working notification will not display any longer.

konqueror: "Block images from this site"
by Marvin Jones 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Well, I screwed up and clicked this option in error after right-clicking on an image (planning instead to click "View Image.) And, it just happened to be ONE OF MY OWN WEB SITES! sigh... Well, no problem, right? I just go into one of the menu dropdowns, select the appropriate function. and delete the web site from the list (which otherwise should be totally empty anyway.) No joy. No such dropdown --> function that gets me there. konqueror 3.5.10 trinity 3.5.13.3 In doing a web search, I believe what I want is Tools --> Manage Images ... or the somesuch. However I have _NO_ Tools --> Manage Images. My Tools dropdown contains Find file ... <<-greyed out HTML Settings Minitools Translate web page Archive web page Change browser identification I can find no way to "Manage Images" in konqueror Ok. Then I need to hack some .cfg or .rc file I suppose. Which file ... where? (Doing a recursive grep did not reveal any such file.) (Or else, my grep-fu is inadequate.) (I guess I could change my domain name ... :-) Many thanks in advance! Jonesy

clipboard behavior
by dep 12 Aug '17

there's no doubt someplace this can be set, but i can't find it: just now i sought to copy some text from kmail to a libreoffice document. before the recent upgrade i would just select text in any application, pick a place in any other application, right click, and voila, it would be pasted. but no more. i can of course do this among tde applications, but not going to or coming from other applications, such as firefox and libreoffice. i can still right click on the selection, choose copy, then go to the document i'm working on and select paste, and it works. but that interrupts the flow. does anyone know what i need to do to restore the previous behavior? thanks! -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Looking for someone to help test Kgpg
by deloptes 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi users, I am looking for someone to help me test kgpg and help us make it gnupg2 capable but also gnupg<2 compatible. This means test under stretch and jessie. Advantage would be to can patch and build as it would speed up process. I started updating piece by pice few weeks ago, but it turned out that some things changed significantly with the new version of gnupg and I can not do all the work myself. I was thinking may be someone can help test and document the test cases, so that we can reproduce or write testing code in future. example Test case 1 : sign single key Step 1 import a key Step 2 right click on the key imported Step 3a: password prompt Step 3b: (dialog pop up) select sign option Step 4 press continue Step 5 select secret key and press ok Expected result: key signed and icon turns green Actual result: key signed Pass/Fail: fail Comments: key was signed but icon did not turn green I don't have the time to go through every single case, I already fixed the main part like displaying the keys, uids and signatures already, importing and also the keyserver and just finished the sign use case. Now I would do the revoke case next and would pass the code for testing to someone as I think a full regression is needed. I think it should be doable in 10-20h. Let me know if interested. regards

Status of klaptop
by Thierry de Coulon 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hello all, Klaptop is no more working on my laptop with newer distributions. Both suspend and hibernate just lock. I guess that acpi is no more accessed the same way. On Debian 9 I was able to use s2ram and s2disk, but could not test anything under TDE because I could not access teh repositories to install. The latest SUSE does not have these utilities anymore, it uses systemctl instead. I was able to get Klaptop to work by replacing /opt/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper with a script running systemctl suspend. Seems to work so far but it's rather a hack. Shouldn't klaptop be brought to an up-to-date level? Or provide some way of editing the suspend/hibernate commands depending on the machine? Would this be a big task? Thierry

I am under Ubuntu 14.04 and TDE 14.04 too. This Ubuntu Advantage is not installed on my system so I assume it is not required.

two more slightly on-topic questions
by dep 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

greetings, everyone . . . for ages now i've seen the little icon on my toolbar that informs me there are updates to ge gotten and have promptly gotten them. but now, since the upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, i'm also getting annoying, microsoft-like popups having to do with "system problem" and such. they inquire as to whether i want to report it and i say okay, sure, and click on the box, whereupon a web browser opens and tells me there's no site at the link specified. i'd like to be rid of the whole thing. i'm perfectly happy with the adept updater (even though i open a terminal for the update/upgrade). now today i see that among the updates is something called ubuntu advantage tools. i do not know what this is, but it also strikes me as something i do not want. so, then, my questions are: how do i get rid of the new pop-up upgrade nonsense? and is it safe to remove "ubuntu advantage tools"? (it seems like one of those things that should i do a purge would remove other things that i don't want rid of.) thanks for any advice you may have. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Is it possible to change the desktop directory in TDE?
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

Hello all, I undestand the question may look strange, so here are a few explanations. I have a laptop (Thinkpad X220 Tablett) that I use at work. As you guess for "normal" work I use TDE, but unfortunately I found out that I can't use the touchscreen well with TDE. If I rotate the screen I can't calibrate it correctly (the pointer coordinates don't get rotated at all, so pointing up right shows the pointer left down...). A recent install of openSuSE Leap 42.3 let me discover that Gnome 3 (Gnome Shell 3.20.2) has a Wacom calibration tool that solves this issue perfectly. I've even managed to run konqueror as file browser from Gnome's Dash, but I still prefer TDE. So my present solution is to run TDE and TDM, and to logout/login in Gnome Shell when I need the Wacom Tablett. There remains a (small) annoyance: I've set up three links on my Desktop (to a local directory and two NFS shares) and they appear as useless files on the Gnome Desktop. Obviously, both TDE and Gnome use ~/Desktop as desktop folder. There does not seem to be any way to tell Gnome to do otherwise (there is little way to tell Gnome anything, seems), so I wondered if maybe Trinity can bw told to use another directory as Desktop directory?

Yes, it was working on Magiea 5 and every previous version. Trinity works with Mageia 6 on my laptop, but not my desktop PC, so the basic disto integration is OK, except for the missing symlink (easily solved...). The packages were installed using the official Trinity repository for Mageia, described here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Mageia_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… This contains R14.0.4.

I just can't tell because the backtrace only stays on screen for about a second. I've got a media centre system which is also on Mageia 6, but I never bothered to install Trinity on there, so I might give it a go as a next step to see if it works or not in lieu of suggestions here.

TDE Graphics Issue
by Dave 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Video now looks like 8 color mode.... On 30th July, I did an update/upgrade on Ubuntu-16.04. I should have known better when it wanted to update X-server and Grub on the same shot....Computer boots OK stops at TDM login screen..normal. but the graphics in the background picture look awful. Login to trinity, all graphics look like 8 color on background anything that I run, including Xine and VLC , 8 color. To go further, CNTL+ALT+F1 or F2-6, the screen is wrong there also. F1 will give you the book up sequence, but all that you can see is OK in faint video. It does let you log in, blindly, and my color prompt is there, but cannot read any other text. It does exec the app (ls) some owner/privlege info shows but there is missing text. Story continues... From the TDM login, I can select Ubuntu's GUI, and as is starts to load you can see TDMs background picture display properly for a couple seconds, and Gnome or whatever it is has all the proper graphics, everything runs properly. CNTL+ALT+F1 thru6 all display properly. So why would Gnome work and TDM/Trinity look crappy? I suspect something in Xorg. update list from 30 JULY: 2017-07-30 17:08:36 upgrade grub2:amd64 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.11 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.12 2017-07-30 17:08:36 upgrade grub-pc:amd64

No launchpad/github ?
by wofgdkncxojef 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

There's no official trinity on launchpad and github ppa/sources? I think it would be a very good idea for the project to be there, just for the extra exposure. A lot of developers are already there. They can stumble on trinity just by searching something else. Or users stumbling on it. It seams good little advertisement for the project...

Thinkpad 200s, dual screens, setup
by Uwe Brauer 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hi I am using a Thinkpad X200s with a Intel Graphic card which supports dual screens. I have installed first Kubuntu 14.04 and then trinity on top of that (I know this approach is not recommended. It would have been better to use the trinity Live CD, but I don't want to reinstall everything). Now I found out about dspdfviewer which allows (for beamer latex generated pdf) to show the transparencies in two screens. I tried that out with my laptop being connected to a external LCD screen, however my laptop screen only was cloned and the dspdfviewer developers told me to try out extended desktop mode. I looked up a bit the trinity kontrol center but could not find anything relevant. So a pointer would be very well come. I would not mind a link to a command tool such as xrand (which was recommended to me as well). Thanks Uwe Brauer

greets! this Asus is set up in UEFI. I'm considering installing Windows 7 and get the impression it needs CSM (or 'Legacy'). if I change the setting to CSM, will that incur loss of data? f. -- Felmon Davis All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected, so there's still hope.

No launchpad/github ?
by wofgdkncxojef 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

There's no official trinity on launchpad and github ppa/sources? there is something on launchpad, but not the actuall desktop. I think it would be a very good idea for the project to be there, just for the extra exposure. A lot of developers are already there. They can stumble on trinity just by searching something else. Or users stumbling on it. It seams good advertisement for the project...

upgraded, but TDE video issue
by dep 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful system upgrade in the (heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter. But now I'm encountering a problem that is annoying: menus in Firefox and some other applications are reversed, white text on black background. Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and preparing to revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .). Thanks again. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

color issue solved
by dep 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

well. in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts it's possible to employ different themes for GTK2 and GTK3 applications, and this fixes the menu color problem. What I haven't been able to fix is the tiny fonts problem in TDE applications. Additionally, my cursor, in all its variants, has become *huge.* Very strange indeed. And it came about from first unchecking and then rechecking Appearance & Themes > Colors > Apply colors to non-TDE applications. How can this be? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

trying to avoid rebuilding whole system
by dep 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

greetings . . . i've about concluded that i absolutely must upgrade my linux/tde install. i'm currently running 14.04 atop ubuntu 1204-LTS, which is at its end. hypothetically i should be able to do use ubuntu's system upgrade tool and all would be well in moving me from 1204 to 1404; i would not have to reinstall everything from scratch. but no. it throws this error: [quote] Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu [/quote] looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade, i find this error: [quote ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.' [/quote] for some reason i must have added it to that blacklist, but truth be known i do not remember having done so or even the existence of such a blacklist, never mind how to add or delete something to or from it. so, am wondering if there is a way around this that wouldn't (as it appears would happen here anyway) nuke my TDE install. am i missing something obvious? do i want to d/l and install a TDE image and, if so, can i do an upgrade (rather than wipe and reinstall) from that? thanks in advance -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

how to boot uefi from partition
by Felmon Davis 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

greets! yrs ago I thought BIOS was mysterious; I didn't anticipate UEFI! was travelling, my SSD collapsed - dead - and I had to get another and get Linux installed fast. put Kubuntu on; back home added tde. I just resized the partition and added another ext4 with exegnu installed but I installed the loader to the partition, fearing to touch /boot/efi. so there's boot/efi on sda1, kubuntu on sda2 and exegnu on sda3. there's some crap in my efi because of other misadventures but the important thing now is I can boot into kubuntu, what do I do so I can put into exegnu also? is it simply a matter of grub-install? other magic? my ultimate goal is to remove kubuntu and install Windows 7 with exegnu as the default boot. f. -- Felmon Davis "Home, Sweet Home" must surely have been written by a bachelor. -- Samuel Butler

Kmail: fetching GMail over IMAP
by Jan Stolarek 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Dear all, I have recently set up KMail to fetch a GMail account over IMAP protocol. However, I am experiencing an issue that does not happen with any of my other IMAP accounts. Very often when I fetch new email and mark it as read locally, the next time emails are fetched this mail is locally marked as unread, instead of being marked as read on the server. Is any of you experiencing similar issues with GMail? Is this just a matter of setting appropriate options in GMail and, if so, which ones?

Hi-res, small icons ...
by Peter Laws 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Was 5760x1024 (3 "HD" displays). New W/S is 5120x1440 on two displays. LOVE the resolution ... but ... my eyes are old (they saw Armstrong and Aldrin walk on the Moon on live TV when they were younger, for instance) ... so how do I, in one step (I hope!) make everything on my displays bigger? Is that even doable? It is in that Microsoft OS (you select a percentage above or below 100% and everything gets scaled). -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

Nvidia Quadro M2000
by Peter Laws 21 Jul '17

New Dell T5810 with above card. Put Centos 7 on it (after finding the "use a basic video driver" selection under "Troubleshooting"). Got TDE v.newest installed just fine (after reading all steps in the directions - sad considering I'd done this before ...). But how do I adjust the video? The stuff in RandR only seems to want to give me 1024x768 which seems ... skimpy ... on a pair of P2416Ds which are 2560x1440 each (I've not connected the 2nd display yet). What am I missing? Do I need to ditch the Nouveau stuff and go for some sort of proprietary driver? I'm not opposed to either direction, but I really have to have better than 1995's idea of hi-res. :-) Or is there a tool I'm missing? -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

Recent preliminary stable update
by Philip Ashmore 09 Jul '17

09 Jul '17

Hi there. I checked for updates in Synaptic and saw a slew of preliminary stable updates. It didn't occur to me that running a Trinity update inside of Trinity might be a bad idea. That is, until my desktop disappeared. I did a pstree check to see if the update had finished, which it had, probably because Synaptic was killed. Now there is no record of the updates in Synaptics history and the updates are no longer present - did it succeed? Just a heads up! P.S. should I do anything to try to recover the update history? Do I need to be worried? Regards, Philip Ashmore

R14.0.4 Issues
by Dave 02 Jul '17

02 Jul '17

New hardware and new install. Ryzen 1600, ASUS B350 Prime Plus, BIOS 0803, Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel-4.10.0-041000-lowlatency, and of course TDE R14.0.4 and it does dual boot into Win 10, but I seriously, _seriously_ hate Win10 after using XP Aggravating issues, about Trinity but I keep plugging on. I won't file bug reports , because of all of NEW HARDWARE issues. I'm mainly just looking for confirmation of these problems. 1. Trinity Control Center / Monitor & Display when Brightness and Gamma are changed, It does not save the settings beyond the current session, even when logged in as root. When you log out, the background on the TDM login screen even shows the settings returned to default. (System file permissions somewhere?) 2. When I logout, any active Konsole windows that were open are not saved and all setting are lost. ( again, System file Permissions ?) once in a while, when saving the desktop on logout, an error message will popup but closes so fast ya can't read it. 3. System Guard Network sensors are dead (bug 2398) probably brought on by Systemd changes of hardware naming.( no more eth0, wlan0) 4. Network Icon in system Tray used to show connect speed or wifi signal strength text, gone. (Could be one my settings) One odd one, I had to change permissions on /sys to 775 along with sub directories. I think it had to do with SCP. that was 2 weeks ago. so I'm not real sure of this one. There are a few other issues, but I think they belong to AMD, ASUS and BIOS. (such as Xorg using so much processor power, and not knowing if this setup is using all of the cores) Because of the NEW hardware and this being the first time with R14.0.4 version, I don't know if prior versions of Trinity have these problems. I've been using Trinity since Tim started the project, so I'm not new to this debug fight process. Does trinity and it's apps have log files to look at? I can only find a tdm.log I've loaded Xubuntu on a different partition, but has it's own issues without Trinity loaded. If I get it to run with fewer lockup issues (kernel), I'll try an older version of Trinity after I check Xorg processor usage. Dave

Update trouble

HEllo all, I'm running SolydK and Devuan. These last month I've been updating regularely without trouble. SolyK being a rolling distribution, I expected some probems with Debian 9 being released so I was not really surprised that the last update announced removing lots of things - including TDE. However, when I tried updating Devuan (which is still Jessie based AFAIK) I get the same result: no update without removing TDE! Not that I *need* to update, but what's the problem? Any idea?

System Guard
by Dave 15 Jun '17

I have a new Ryzen system with B350 chip set, and an old Ralink RT3060 pci wifi card . I've installed Ubuntu.Xenial and Trinity-R14.0.4. I set up system guard on the task bar with 3 windows. first window CPU second window Net, third window shows drive activity. CPU and drive windows work as planned. The net will not show any activity whether it's by Cat-5 cable or by WIfi. It's just dead. I don't know if it's the new hardware or a bug in new release of trinity. Xenial shows that they are NOT using eth0 or wlan0. It's labeled the lan port as enp30s0, and the wifi as wlp32s1. I've never run into these labels before, I know it has to do with Rules. Can't show any display activity, but both ports work as they should. How to debug? Dave

External drive gets mounted twice
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello all, I've installed openSUSE 42.2 and so upgraded to TDE 14.0.4 (previously I couldn't on my old 13.1, something broke so I stayed at 14.0.0). I don't know which of the two is responsible, but now, when I plug in an external drive, it gets mounted twice. On my desktop I see the drive itself, and the partition. For example, when I plug in my 16GB mac formated usb key, I get both "14.8 GB removable device", mounted on /deb/sdg, and "macUSBDrive", mounted on /dev/sdg1. Of course the former throws an error if I try to open it. This is not so bad and I can live with it, but I wonder where this is distribution specific, machine specific or if you all see this too.

cursor problems (again)

Setting up power-off icon
by Lisi Reisz 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

I want to set up a large power-off button, with an icon, preferably on the desktop but on the panel would do. The ordinarily available one will not do because this is for someone with very poor sight and the ordinary power-off button is inextricably linked with lock screen. Well, I can't extricate it. I THINK I can manage the three other large icons that are needed on the desktop, but this one has stymied me. I could rephrase the question: how do I produce an icon that, when clicked, operates /sbin/poweroff. Jessie with TDE 14, installed from Slávek's repositories. Replacing a badly scammed Windows 7!

30 May '17

> All, > > It's that time of year again! As we look toward the release of Debian > Stretch and another version of TDE, I'd like to ask for your continued > support to help keep TDE online. I installed Trinity as an experiment 2 weeks ago, when I came across your website while looking for an old application, and it's so nice, I'm doing all my work in Trinity now. I loved KDE 3.5, and I was sad when I had to leave it six years ago, to upgrade to Debian 6 and KDE 4. After upgrading from Debian 6 to Debian 8 a few weeks ago, two old favourites, Kasablanca and KHexEdit, were no longer available, and I could not even find the source code for KHexEdit, until I remembered reading about Trinity some years ago, and found your website. I think it's wonderful that you're maintaining the KDE 3.5 look and feel, functionality, and applications. I have donated 30 dollars to Trinity via your donations page. I'm sorry it can't be more at the moment, money is a bit tight. Konqueror has improved since KDE 3.5, but I can run Konqueror-KDE4 in Trinity from a menu item with the command /usr/bin/konqueror, and thus get the best of both worlds. Some other KDE applications have sadly deteriorated in the later versions of KDE4. In particular, KolourPaint in Debian 8 has been damaged by a very bad revision, so I am using KolourPaint-Trinity now. It is far better. When I installed Debian 8, I was offered a list of 7 desktop environments to install. I would certainly have tried Trinity at that time, if it had been on the list. If Konqueror-Trinity and Konsole-Trinity need to be given new names in order to get Trinity into the Debian distribution, (to avoid a clash of names with KDE), perhaps I could suggest Clarity for Konqueror-Trinity and Simplicity for Konsole-Trinity, since these names rhyme with Trinity, and suggest some of the defining characteristics of TDE. Yours sincerely, Chris Austin

Trinity and multiple screens (in X sense)
by Nick Koretsky 13 May '17

13 May '17

Hi! I decided to connect my TV as second monitor and am trying different configurations. First i tried a "normal" xrandr approach and didnt liked the result - no negative coordinates (0x0 is always a left most screen - so i would have to learn to switch to left screen by moving mouse to the right if i want my TV located physically to the left act as an secondary monitor) and virtual desktops switching on both monitors (afaik trinity have no support for separate virtual desktops in different monitors? i hope i am wrong but doesnt looks so :( ). So i wanted to try a multiple screens (in X sense) approach but hit a roadblock. As soon as i add Screen 1 "Philips" LeftOf "ZR24w" line to my xorg.conf and do tdm-trinity restart i am greeted with "this computer is locked enter password to unlock" on a TV and there is no escape from it other than killing X. Entering password just make it blink for a second and return back. Can this be somehow avoided or trinity is incapable of working on multiple screens? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)

Strange clicking noise from my laptop hard drive
by Philip Ashmore 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hi there. I managed to record it using my laptops built-in microphone. To those who would prefer a description: It starts fast and slows down. I opened the file with Audacity and determined the intervals to be 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 10, 15 seconds, then it repeats. It sounds like some kind of protocol negotiation algorithm that requires a disk sync when the polling time doubles. Here's a link for your listening pleasure: https://www.dropbox.com/s/apdr1o056tam5ie/click.wav?dl=0 I'm hoping it's some cron job, or DropBox, Trinity Desktop, wifi, smart disk status monitoring, nVidia, Intel, ... not a virus trying to phone home. I'm really hoping that someone reading this will go "oh that thing" and know what it is instantly. Curiously it doesn't happen every day. Regards, Philip Ashmore

What is your default Desktop manager? Nautilus being the default file manager for gdm, I could imagine a link. I've seen Gnome 3 bloquing TDE in some distributions. Maybe there is something like that with Ubuntu? As I don't run Ubuntu and don't have nautilus installed I never saw this behaviour. Thierry

All of a sudden one of my desktops changed to what looks like the Unity display. Right click on desktop only shows new folder and organize by name.If I add a desktop it switches to new desktop, while the other desktop reverts back to TDE. If I delete the new desktop , the (unity) desktop goes back to prior DT. I can't seem to make it permanently gone. Dave

Konsole issue
by Peter Laws 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hello. After being on Ubuntu 14.1 LTS for years, I tried to update to 16.1. Install media Would. Not. See. workstation's RAID so switched to CentOS 7 (all my production stuff uses that anyway). Immediately installed TDE, of course, 14.04 I think. Two issues with Konsole, possibly related to the video driver (card is an "AMD FirePro V4900" with their drivers). First is that it seems to have trouble rendering the _ (underbar) character. No problem leaving random underbars on the screen as text advances, but can't seem to put them in the right spot. This is most noticeable on the last line of a screen full of text. Second, and much more annoying is that when I start Chrome (not my primary browser but necessary for some sites), Konsole becomes very sluggish. Not 2400-baud modem slow, but that was the first thing I thought of. Maybe more like 9600 ... or 14.4 ... Ideas? I do run yum update regularly. -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

TDE Fundraiser

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, It's that time of year again! As we look toward the release of Debian Stretch and another version of TDE, I'd like to ask for your continued support to help keep TDE online. This year I'm going to try something new. If you donate $40 to TDE [1], I will allow 2 months access to the nightly build repositories that now include Debian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Additionally, I'd like those who donate at this level to nominate two bugs that I will personally look into (excepting those relating to support for Wayland, Qt4/Qt5, or Webkit). This way your donations have a direct and positive effect on TDE itself, and TDE can continue to exist in its current form. Personally I would suggest the LibreOffice integration bug or possibly an update of the GTK3 theme engine to fix the rendering bugs as potential candidates, but in the end it's up to you! A full listing of open bugs is available here: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=&no_… As always, thank you for your support and continued feedback -- we couldn't develop TDE without it!

konqueror can not read directories named ##xxxxxx
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Running the latest 14 tde on the latest debian Jessie. Had a manual backup and in it i had two directories with their names being ##00bla1 and ##00bla2. When i plugged that drive thru a usb port, opening the partition with conqueror resulted in useless recursive openings of the two directories, nothing readable. After i opened the same partition with thunar file manager i was able to see both files starting with ##00, then i was able to graphically change the names of the directories (in thunar), and, after ## was removed from the very front of the name directory, the directories became visible and accessible in conqueror. should it be this way? d.

kmenu: focus always in search field after first invocation
by Stefan Krusche 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hello, when I start kmenu the focus is not in the search field as I remember it having been since long and as it is in a newly created user account. That is the behavior I'd like to have to be able to directly utilize the incremental search feature to jump to a certain menu entry by just typing some characters. Problem: in my current long time user account every second and following time I invoke kmenu the focus is _in_ the search field so I have to first push arrow up or down to get the cursor out of it to directly jump to menu entries by just typing characters. I couldn't find any configuration for that. Any ideas what I could do or try? Regards, Stefan

Problems with KMail after upgrade.
by Lisi Reisz 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

I still have that bug report to do. I'm sorry. It will get done. Meanwhile, I have a problem. I recently did an upgrade for a client of mine. Debian 8.7, TDE 14 (Slávek's repositories), KMail 1.9.10. KMail was being a bit slow downloading the emails the first time he opened it after the upgrade. So he shut KMail down. Opened it up again. Restarted the computer. Rinse and repeat a few times. It is now sending OK (SMTP) but not receiving (POP3). Ideas, please? (He also en route told it both to store the password in KWallet and not to store the password in KWallet, simultaneously.) Given that the problem might be at least partly due to KWallet, can I safely uninstall KWallet? Just reinstalling it might leave the config files the same, and the config files could (perhaps?) be the problem. Lisi

Is it possible to port KDE3 "branding" packages from a distro, say OpenSUSE for example, to Trinity? If so, how would this be accomplished and what steps would be involved? Thanks, - Conner McCoy

Attachments in read only mode after "Drag & Drop" into folder from Kmail
by Gerhard Zintel 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hi, if I have an attachment in Kmail and I want to save into a folder I have 2 possibilities. Either save it per "Save As ..." using the right mouse button menu or by "Drag & Drop" it directly into a folder. The former creates the document in read/write mode but the latter in "read only" mode. For I nearly always use drag & drop I normally forget to set the read/write flag for this file afterwards and realize it not after make changes to the document and try to save it again. This happens very often with my workflow. This is a very inconvenient behavior. Anyone an idea if that could be changed without recompilation? Otherwise I would call it a bug. regards Gerhard

Error with Kmail no TLS accepted
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 23 Mar '17

Hello to everybody, I use kmail trinity. On a domain name (server) working with postfix and dovecot, I have this configuration : Port 995, mode TLS. Kmail detects automatically this configuration : Port 110, mode TLS I receive this message : "Impossible to connect to host. Your POP3 server claims to support TLS but negotiation was unsuccessful". port 110 or 995. It works only with no certificates (100% clear). It's strange, because with the MUA Icedove, it works perfectly, port 995 and TLS. Does the problem come from Kmail ? Thank for your answers. and Have a good day, André

Hi all! Is there a way to set themes or colors schemes for tdm? When I go to "kcontrol/System Administration/Login Manager", I can customice some aspects, but Appearance/GUI Style: is ignored by tdm, always "Plastic", Appearance/Color scheme: is ignored by tdm, always "default". /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc does partly represent the GUI changes: [X-*-Greeter] ColorScheme=the_selected_color_scheme Theme=@@@ToBeReplacedByDesktopBase@@@ As you can see, "Theme=" is a bit off. Also I cannot find a way to set/select the themes that are in "/opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/themes" So, does anybody hnow how to change the tdm default theme?

Re: [trinity-users] r14-xdg-update follies

Hmmm... No. ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu is an XML file containing the structure of the TDE application menu; unfortunately it lists only the filenames (*.desktop) without path information. These are not the files that live in ~/Desktop. I have attached the extracted, sorted list from ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu, and the sorted list of files in ~/Desktop. But ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu doesn't help me locate whatever files might be R/O or whatever.

symbols visualize problem
by Istvan Gabor 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

Hello: I have a simple plain text document that contains the following symbols: • − ⋆ ▷ ∘ ◯ ◯ □ In trinity applications (eg kwrite) they are not shown correctly. Instead of the symbols squares are shown. Libreoffice shows the symbols correctly. On another machine which has legacy KDE 3.5.10 the symbols are also shown correctly in kwrite. Whys is this and how can I fix it? I use trinity 14.0.4 in openSUSE 13.2 64 bit. Thanks, Istvan
