Running GUI programs as root in 14

In the absence of kdesu, or tdesu, how do you run eg KWrite or Konqueror as root in 14 on Debian? Even gksu seems still to be missing this time. Lisi

SRPMS?

Hi, The current version of trinity conflicts with rhel 6.7, and I therefore wanted to rebuild a few rpms, but I cannot find the srpms anywhere. Can you direct me to them?

Trinity for openSUSE PowerPC64?
by Larry Stotler 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

I picked up an original PowerMac G5 2.0/Dual this weekend and I intend to install openSUSE 13.2. I saw that someone had managed to get TDE running on Debian/PPC. Has anyone managed to port TDE over to other PPC distros? If not, what would I have to do to get it up and running on my G5? I can dedicate it to compiling if needed. So far openSUSE only supports 64bit builds, but I would like to get TDE working on my G4 at some point. Thanx

Debugging stability
by Jan Stolarek 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Hi all, in the recent weeks I am experiencing serious stability issues on two of my machines running KDE 3. I know KDE 3 is not Trinity and whatever the causes are they might be fixed in Trinity, but nevertheless I believe that the debugging techniques are identical for KDE and Trinity. That's why I'm asking for help here. Machine 1 On first of my machines I am experiencing random desktop freezes around two times a day (this started around 2 weeks ago). When this happens the current application becomes irresponsive and I am unable to switch to different application by using Alt-tab or by clicking on the task bar. I am able to kill the graphical environment using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or go to text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) to kill tasks. I was unable to find any program that, when killed, would unfreeze the desktop. The only puzzling thing is that killing Firefox seems to make it a zombie process. Machine 2 That machine experiences random problems when loading the desktop after login. The problem manifests itself with an error message from KDE panel saying that "'/home/USER/.local/share/applications/foo.desktop' service is broken" (where foo is an application like Skype, Firefox, etc.) and then the KDE panel becomes irresponsive. Again, this is random and sometimes the desktop loads correctly. In both cases I have no idea how to debug the encountered problems. Are there any logs that could point me the source of the problems? Are there any diagnostics that I could run? Any ideas appreciated as I fell clueless.

Hello, I'm searching an application able to prevent when the battery of my laptop will be empty soon. Does this application exist with tde-trinity ? (or outside of TDE). I see that the battery is empty after about 3 hours on my HP laptop on Jessie 64 bits, and 8 hours with Windows-8. Bye. André

Plugged media notifier not opening precise 12.04
by Nigel Henry 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

My usb harddrive will not open the plugged media notifier on Precise 12.04 with TDE 3.5.13.2. If I log out and back in to the xfce4 desktop the usb harddrive is detected and mounts ok. I also have Lucid 10.04 with TDE and Hardy 8.04 with KDE3 on the same machine and the plugged media notifier works ok on them. On a new machine I have recently installed Precise 12.04 with TDE 3.5.13.2 which installed with no problems whatsoever (Asrock M3A785GM-LE/128M) and the plugged media notifier works as expected. On the Precise 12.04 with the problem, I ran tail -f /var/log/syslog and the usb harddrive is detected ok and shows the two partitions on it as below.

Double clicking in Konqueror
by Michele Calgaro 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear all, from the R14.1.x series, double clicking on an empty area (i.e. not over an item) in Konqueror's listview or iconview will navigate to the parent folder. This is a very useful shortcut when you are navigating through folders using Konqueror and spare you from either having to move the mouse to the "Up" arrow or using Alt+Up on the keyboard. The functionality will also be available on the nightly builds as soon as the code can be pushed and the build farm has rebuilt tdebase. Due to the current r14.0.x building process, the code won't be pushed for a while though. If you are interested, you can rebuild from the current tdebase GIT code and the attached patch. Cheers Michele PS: it may be worth reminding another new functionality available from the R14.0.x series, which may have gone unnoticed to most of you. If you are renaming a file in Konqueror using a listview widget (not the iconview - yet), you can move to the next/previous item using Tab/Shift+Tab without exiting the "rename mode". This is useful when you need to rename several adjacent files, since you do not need to press F2 -> rename -> Enter for each file but just do F2 -> rename -> move to next/previous item -> rename [ -> move to next/previous item -> rename --- repeat as needed] - -> Enter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVqKoHAAoJECp1t8qK3tXPQ7UQAJ8nhaBeSYh6czn7nUsKuGAv L9ZJ2A3ZynKlJj3II8Zkf887fik4uXEMR5CxNVhp/ycwZDizzeWpRllUqbIz2CQA naPmIxFpCAd9nMaLWCnfhHQEyfyq7DMfP0GGEDpm2MFzj6PpM/qb+yJ4DNCRNhIB Esfw7pIziOzfEoU8DQQfo46OFSxj1UpW6x7YjhHECI/bQVdU3PDE3tUX1QBEPwbh gxuOEpPAqkzRlCRKtqibMhIs0kGyifczp0bxAxWGySaA8QLBWo/NQL8AdU4umnuh VPbOerfvFy5d7sStsbujAYx7AetpOkqgzAVJQSbPQBm18ta5pddectrbIRE5esRS InUvENyGcdMhA5elquoIzYaqRLE2dSdHV0u9+tDzVD2y85A7SnxP4UqfEobkFwr4 wfXukgLxLQcDhIRwdXnwxNAlz5KgkU81Woeuu0IP+cEPDL/IsHDw2prtgb10Yjq8 YJx6HyFCuUGDVVUKVyTwJ3tFWq5tzr1wJJIKgPwI5gUQELRGBh0TXHUWtdqrRVB+ Vv+w6mvmUWMa5LfJoSITPfwY2oIjJzzMNORDs3/Vx58bM4j9MCiXBom32V7nd75w hbzMH9ffaMoCOnuixd/VO2/hGk+CCcTBYRWt+fSD3XzSx8Dfm+ykcc4pgW/Lxsp9 P4r01C+USTYIL400Yss4 =GLz9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

no sound in Jessie with r14 from xcer.cz
by Felix Miata 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Last Debian I installed on any of my own systems was Etch, until Friday, when I did a network minimal, then added TDE. In a broad sense, only one thing bothers me at this point, no sound. In openSUSE we have YaST2 for such things as sound configuration, but in Jessie/TDE I haven't found anything that helps. Trying to use Synaptic to figure it out isn't working, because its scroller is worthless - it has no buttons to scroll only a line at atime, and the scrollbar hopelessly overshoots trying to drag or click. TCC's Sound & Multimedia isn't producing any sound or any clues as to why not. SMplayer plays video but without sound. Is there some TDE tool not yet installed that can configure sound, or do I need some as yet undiscovered Debian tool to make sound work? https://wiki.debian.org/ALSA didn't seem to help at all. :-( # dpkg-query | egrep 'alsa|libasou' ii alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9.1 amd64 graphical soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard driver ii alsa-tools 1.0.28-1 amd64 Console based ALSA utilities for specific hardware ii alsa-tools-gui 1.0.28-1 amd64 GUI based ALSA utilities for specific hardware ii alsa-utils 1.0.28-1 amd64 Utilities for configuring and using ALSA ii libasound2:amd64 1.0.28-1 amd64 shared library for ALSA applications ii libasound2-data 1.0.28-1 all Configuration files and profiles for ALSA drivers ii libasound2-plugins:amd64 1.0.28-1+b1 amd64 ALSA library additional plugins # lsmod snd_hda_codec_analog 13795 1 snd_hda_codec_generic 63181 1 snd_hda_codec_analog snd_hda_intel 26327 2 snd_hda_controller 26646 1 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec 104463 4 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller,snd_hda_codec_analog snd_hwdep 13148 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 88662 4 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller snd_timer 26614 2 snd_pcm snd 65244 9 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_analog soundcore 13026 2 snd,snd_hda_codec -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hello I have encountered a problem trying to get wireless going with R14 and Ubuntu 14.04. I installed it thru the wireless last night using the mini.iso from Ubuntu. Then the wireless went down. I finished installing TDE from a hard line. and the internet works good on it. On the wireless side, the wireless is detected and enabled, I can scan for networks and it detects my network. The problem comes when I try to add a connection with TDEnetworkmanager. It says "Unable to save network connection. Potential causes: insufficient permissions, network manager not running, DBus failure" . Networkmanager is installed and I have ran TDEnetworkmanager as root. Still not connecting. Any advice or help will be thankful. -- Bro.

Initial import of FreeBSD ports
by Slávek Banko 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi all, if you're interested, to tde-packagind was committed initial import of FreeBSD 'ports'. For now, just to the branch r14.0.x. There are all the main packages (except tdebindings) and the necessary dependencies. The script to run TDM is not yet included in the ports. However, there is one major problem that prevents the smooth use of Trinity on FreeBSD - problem with threads - see bug 2462.

configuration of tde-menu
by Rolf Schmidt 26 Jun '15

Hello everybody out there, I have a jessi with tde R14.01 - i.e. from Sláveks repository - running on a computer with a touch screen. TDE is very nice for this environment, because every thing could be scaled so it can be used with finger touch. My question or problem is, I would like to remove the menu item "lock session" because i can't give the needed passwort for unlocking with the screen-keyboard xvkbd. How can I configure the TDE-menu for this purpose? Many thanks for (expected) help Rolf PS: A howto for KDE 3.x did not help - nameing problems?

Trinity on Debian Jessie

I changed a laptop to Debian Jessie, sadly to discover afterwards what I should have looked up first, that Trinity is not yet fully released for Jessie. I should have looked. I should have looked. I should have looked. Mea maxima culpa. So anyway, I put the mirror.xcer.cz mirror in place, but haven't found the "install full desktop" meta-package to start the ball rolling.

Fwd: New quote for you which might apply to the Trinity desktop
by Lisi Reisz 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hello, list, I couldn't resist passing on the quotation, which hopefully means that I communicated the essence of TDE. And while I was at it, I have forwarded the rest of what Mike said. (With his permission, of course.) This is the blind person for whom I have made enquiries. I have encouraged the idea that he might be able to render it accessible to the blind. I stressed how accessible friendly TDE is in general. I gather a lot depends on what TDE uses in the way of Qt. I knew he would ask about that, and had tried to look it up in advance (sorry about my ignorance: without looking it up, I just know that something in that area has been changing), but sadly the website was down, so I said that I would find out for him, though I haven't yet done so. Still, if someone could render TDE accessible to the blind, that would be great. It is so good for the partially sighted. And this is the chap who re-coded the sound-chip firmware on the Raspberry Pi because the sound was too poor to be usable by someone blind.

Java and font antialiasing
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi all! When I start any java awt application (e.g. "arduino") on TDE, the fonts art antialiased. When I do the same thing on e.g. FVWM, then only the fonts of the java applications are not antialiased, all others are. Does by chance anybody know why that is so? I thought it's something with the Xresources, but setting these on fvwm to the same values as under TDEdoes not kame a difference.

How to debug a keyboard problem?
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Jun '15

21 Jun '15

Hello all, I am running R14.0.0 on openSuSE 13.1. I have enabled keyboard layouts in the control center, with a "German Switzerland" keyboard (french layout) as default and a US Keyboard as alternative. I never had problems with this setting in the previous versions, but now, sometime, without any action from me (that I am aware of), suddenly the US layout is activated. What's more, if I switch back to Swiss German, I loose the AltGr combination (for those who don't have this key, it enables an alternate character, most importantly for me the keay that gives 2 and " also gives @ thith AltGr. Without it, I must use the US keyboard to get @ (and I use it in some passwords...). Now the question is, where could I find some tracing of what happened? I can also add that I upgraded from 3.5.13 ro R14, and that if I open the system menu, then Trinity Control Center, then any subitem, most items are shown two times. For example, in "Regional & Accessibility", I get two time "Keyboard Layout". However, only the second opens the settings, the other does not react. So I'm wondering if someting went wrong with the upgrade. Both .kde et .tde exist, however only .tde/config contains kcontrolrc. there is, however, an /opt/kde3 Thierry -- With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil — that takes religion.

There seems no opt-out config. that extension: - doesn't appear in the extension list; - is apparently used to provide an “ok google” voice activation stuff. The fact that Audio Capture Allowed is set to yes, and that both the extension and the shared module are marked as “enabled” are definitely bothering me.

[...] Shouldn't we see a DSA [Debian Security Advisory] following this incident?

Changes to tdevelop for R14.1.x and R14.0.1

by Lisi Reisz 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

I am shortly giving a talk on TDE. Any points that people particularly think I should mention? In fact, any pointers? I love the light flexibility and the marvellous configurability. Its single biggest plus for me is the set-up wizard. I *love* it. I can get rid of the moving, transparent etc. bits _before_ I even log in for the first time, so that I never have to see them. I may see them for the first time during my talk! What about the rest of you? I shall use TDE 3.10.13.2 on Wheezy. I considered upgrading to 14, but if it goes wrong I haven't a lot of time to reinstall and reconfigure (because I am a bit over-stretched at the moment.) I need to use my own desktop because some of the things that I want to demonstrate I can't really set up anywhere else. E.g. KMail. I need mail! I am open to contradiction on that. But I am so familiar with 3.10.13.2, and it is mostly going to be a live demonstration. I don't want to do too much "eerm...." "let me see ......" I am bound to do some! Thanks. Lisi

Fwd: Re: [trinity-users] What would trh rest of you mention about TDE?
by iadest 14 Jun '15

First, the configurability. In TDE, I can configure all things in a system. Toolbar in Konqueror doesn't have a button I want? I can add it. I need specialized toolbar in specific place? No problem. And I can configure GUI in the setup-level - before first run. Another thing is this inflatable part on the left side of Konqueror window. I have e.g. two directory trees there to quickly switch between my "private" directory and "public HTML" directory when I develop PHP pages. A very good thing is the configuration center, especially custom keyboard actions/shortcuts panel. I have this device: http://mcbx.netne.net/computers/newspix/progkey.jpg configured for unused ctrl/alt/Menu shortcuts. With TDE, I can start programs with one (literally said) button. TWin is another program which is a major TDE's advantage. If I have a network monitor plot window, I can configure it to be bound to one screen, on the top in one place and it won't be accidentially moved. TDE is really fast in older computers. Generally, I had it running without problems on 768MB RAM and Pentium 4 1.5GHz. TDE has a good set of programs for common tasks (Multimedia, e-mail, communication, text editing) sharing common parts, so they can share data without conversion.

Meaning of CrystalSVG folder-with-plug icon ?
by Nick Leverton 11 Jun '15

11 Jun '15

I'm running Slavek's very excellent TDE 14.0.1-pre on Debian Jessie, and I use the TDE CrystalSVG icon set. I recently noticed an unusual icon on one of my folders. It could have been like this for a while as I don't often use this folder, but can anyone tell me what the "plug" icon in the following screenshot signifies, please ? http://www.leverton.org/temp/TDE%20folder-with-plug%20icon.png I have checked in Properties that it hasn't been manually set to this. It hasn't, and I can't see a "plug" icon or overlay anyway. The folder has the same filesystem attributes, extended attributes and user attributes as its siblings, so I think it must be some property only known to TDE that's causing the plug overlay to be added. It's no problem to me, but I'm curious to know what property that might be. Nick -- "The Internet, a sort of ersatz counterfeit of real life" -- Janet Street-Porter, BBC2, 19th March 1996

Summer news hole filler ... or: what I miss on FreeBSD :-)
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

Hi all! As it is indeed quite quiet on the mailinglist I thought I might share my 4 months of FreeBSD Desktop here :-) What I especially like on *BSD is that there are no surprises. Things simply work as doctumented. There is valid documentation and a handbook that covers almost all things you'd want to know. But if an application is not in ports, things get ugly. And that's the down side of FreeBSD: no TDE. In quest for a usable desktop environment I went over GNOME (argh! Now I know again why I hate it) over XFCE (too gnomish) to LXDE (too windows like) and KDE4 (yes, that was a rainy day full of desperation. Just like visiting a home-improvement market: you almost get what you need, but in the end of the day you've spent a lot of time and mony and didn't get the job done). Days got better after purging these nice DEs: openbox was an improvement but in the end FVWM came and stayed. Now my FVWM looks quite simillar to my TDE setup on wheezy :-) But there are some things that I cannot quite replace: kmail: the one and only mailclient that has a working maildir implementation and usable GUI. This is the one and only application I did not find a usable replacement for. kpdf: slim, working PDF viewer. I've also tried mupdf (very good and fast, but I cannot mark and copy text), epdfviewer (ok, but quite broken copy function, hangs on pdfs with big images), okular (slow like a slug, pulls in 1GB dependecies, full of clutter, otherwise ok) and evince (well, GNOME), non is a match. I use mupdf+epdfviewer for now. konqueror: pcmanfm is a usable replacement, but needs quite a bit of work till it does it's job. So, it's 30°C outside, rainy days all gone, and I'm here on FreeBSD with FVWM and kmail running in a VM ... and desperatly waiting for Slavec to sort out the -fPIC compiler issue on FreeBSD :-) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Possibly OT: pgp key problem
by Thierry de Coulon 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

Hello all, This is possibly (probably?) not TDE related, but I hope someone understanding more about the matter on this list can help: I've decided to upgrade TDE to R14 on y laptop runing wheezy. Everything went fine and I did not upgrade Debian (I did update, however). I get a message that no public key is available for two key IDs - I'm not 100% sure it was not allready so before the upgrade. When I try to import these keys I get the answer that the key was not changed (so the error remains). So I've got two questions that "googling" could not answer: a) how could I get an information about what repositories these missing/wrong keys are associated with? b) what happens if I simply ignore this sort of message (apart from the fact that some sources are not fully secure)?

TDE for the blind
by Lisi Reisz 24 May '15

24 May '15

I am shortly giving a talk on TDE. I shall laud it as a desktop for the partially sighted, but shall say that it appears to be less friendly to the totally blind, in that it does not seem to have a screen reader. Is that correct? Any points that people would particularly like mentioned? In fact, any pointers? I shall use TDE 3.10.13.2 on Wheezy. I considered upgrading to 14, but if it goes wrong I haven't a lot of time to reinstate (because I am a bit over-stretched at the moment.) I need to use my own desktop because some of the things that I want to demonstrate I can't really set up anywhere else. E.g. KMail. I need mail! I am open to contradiction on that. But I am so familiar with 3.10.13.2, and it is mostly going to be a live demonstration. I don't want to do too much eerm.... let me see ...... I am bound to do some! Thanks. Lisi

No default shell for new users
by Thierry de Coulon 24 May '15

24 May '15

Hi all, Today I used kuser (R14.0) tu setup a new user. Why does kuser leave the login shell empty? Without a loging shell starting teh new user fails (xsession error), ans I'd guess most people who set up a new user though TDE will want a graphical login, so a default of /bin/bash would seem appropriate. I'm pretty sure this would be a very small change in the code. Have a nice Sunday, Thierry

changes in R14.0.0
by ant 21 May '15

21 May '15

Since upgrading a few days ago, I get the following from KMail after a suspend: "The IP address of the host mail.xxx.xxx does not match the one the certificate was issued to." And I think this is true, thanks to my ISP's way of dealing with certificates. However, answering the next popup: "Would you like to accept this certificate forever without being prompted?" with 'Forever', does not have the desired effect, because it all happens again after the next suspend. Any obvious reason for this, or any other diagnostics I can try? It seemed to be fine with 3.5.13.2 cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 7, desktop trinity-KDE.

Friends, maybe I have good news for you! I have prepared small patch for tdelibs. In my tests this patch successfully prevents dead-lock in kdesktop.

LibreOffice has a problem with TDE R14.0 dialogs
by Thierry de Coulon 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hello all, Since I upgraded TDE to R14.0 (on openSUSE 13.1) I've got a problem with LibreOffice (4.2.5.2). More precisely with the save dialog. If I want to save a file (save as), I get a first error dialog: "Sorry - LibreOffice Could not find mime typeapplication/octet-stream" When I click ok it says: "no mime types installed" And if I accept this one I get "Malformed URL file:///data" And then a dialog box showing my path (/data/), but any navigation try is answered with "Malformed URL file:///" I've checked the file associations, set up LibreOffice's programs as first choice (they had been set further back in the list). Everything seems same as in 3.5.13.2, but it does not work. Interrestingly, I found discussions about a similar (?) problem with KDE back in 2004, but the proposed solutions did not apply). A simple workaround is to set LibreOffice to use it's own dialogs, but I thought it was worth reporting because I acn't figure out what's the problem. Thierry

Installed R14.0.1 but no desktop
by Ken Heard 18 May '15

18 May '15

I successfully got the key for Slávek Banko's repository in order to authenticate a preliminary stable build of R14.0.1 to use with Jessie. I then installed tde-trinity -- a total of 503 packages. When the login manager appeared, after selecting TDE as my session type I was able to log in as my user. The default flash screen appeared with seven icons across the bottom. The first four were highlighted briefly. When the fifth one, “Loading the desktop”, appeared the icon flashed for 50 seconds, then the flash screen disappeared, leaving only the original blue screen with blotches of white of various shapes, the Debian swirl in red and the cursor – nothing else. From this point I could do nothing else. What I i supposed to do now? Was something was missed in the installation? Regards, Ken Heard

no Trinity 3.5.13-sru desktop in OpenSUSE 13.1 after install
by A LEUNG 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hi I got no Trinity 3.5.13-sru desktop in OpenSUSE 13.1 after install. I choose OpenSUSE 13.1 because it is to a Evergeen OpenSUSE with extended support. I followed the instruction in https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall even edit file "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" and set DISPLAYMANAGER="tdm" And althought I got triinity login manager the desktop that started reveral to Lxde, the other desktop I installed. I tried to edit "/etc/sysconfig/windowmanager" and set WINDOWMANAGER="Twin" or "KDE", "tde" or even WINDOWMANAGER="/opt/trinity/bin/startkdm" it seems to be still hardcoded as described in http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::4125 Any one have suggestion on making trinity start after login?

Can we have a mention of Slávek's repository on the web-site?
by Lisi Reisz 12 May '15

12 May '15

Can we have a mention of Slávek's R14 preliminary-stable-builds repository on the web-site? With a short explanation of what it is, along the lines of: more up-to-date versions and other architectures/distros can be found at...and perhaps the following from an email of Slávek's: 1) Add the source to sources.list: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb *distribution-name* deps-r14 main-r14 2) From some public GPG keyserver download the key and import it into APT: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pks.gpg.cz --recv-keys ED1F4884 Explanation of why I thought of it now: Yesterday someone on one of my local LUGs' mailing list complained that when he upgraded to Vivid his DE went to pot - I won't bore you with the details. He went on: <quote> Because of this, I thought I'd give trinity a go, but that doesn't appear to have a vivid release yet. It looks like it's not my day today. </quote> I hastily wrote sending my guess at the repository entry for Vivid, which I immediately confirmed here and ratified to him. He replied: <quote> Thanks for that. I was trying to follow the instructions from trinitydesktop.org and using the pearsoncomputing ppa. Have I been looking in the wrong place? [snip] I used the repository you suggested, and I've installed trinity successfully. [snip] Until you mentioned it I had no idea that there were other repos for trinity. </quote> Whilst R14 preliminary-stable-builds has no pretensions to being Stable, it is stable and is a valuable resource to us and could be to others. It seems worthy of a mention. Lisi

Bug 2440
by Lisi Reisz 08 May '15

08 May '15

Yesterday I filed a wish-bug. I am very conscious of what is involved and of how precious the developer effort and time is. The person who told me to ask said that it would be quick and easy, but quick and easy are both very subjective words. This bug is important to me and to no-one else, so far as I know, on this list. It is something that I have not the knowledge to do for myself. So could I pay the project? Can someone spare the time? If so, would it be affordable? Yes, another subjective word. I don't want to have to abandon KMail. I'd rather try and solve this problem. Lisi

I know exactly what Lisi is talking about. There's a growing trend that's moving away from function toward flash. Web designers are doing three things. 1. Using all websites as POS sites (check out verizon's nightmare of a site). 2. Using pale, small fonts against similarly coloured backgrounds (grey letters against a white bg). Using fonts that are "cool" rather than legable. 3. Designing websites so they can be used by mobile devices as well as standard screen sized machines. Rather than building two. This trend is expanding to other things. All of this leads to unreadable pages, emails etc. BTW, I have kmail set to show plain text as default. And I take over the fonts on pages using the build in tools/settings. Lisi try check out the settings. See if you can alter the fonts, and set it to display text as the default. It might help. I know this is exactly helpful, but...

I've tried adding the official TDE repos and installing, but after a while it went out of memory and failed. You can build the SFS even if you are not running Puppy Linux, you only need mksquashfs: $ mksquashfs /opt/trinity trinity.sfs -keep-as-directory Thanks for your help!

Helping with translations

Trinity devs, I'd like to help with updating Polish translation of Trinity. The first time I asked about this was a long long time ago (year ago? maybe two?) and the reply was that a stable release is planned Real Soon Now and all effort is going into that and so the translations have to wait. So perhaps now that R14 is out is a good moment for this? I would need someone to guide me through technical details of how to do a translation.

Updateing an old Mint n14 xfce install
by Gene Heskett 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Greetings all; I finally lugged my lappy in and plugged it in with the idea of makeing sure I had a working email setup for the install of Jessie on this machine. Had to reboot twice, I assume because its is sorely in need of a new battery. The special xenomai kernel that can run LinuxCNC in simulation mode found something it didn't like first time up. Both times the boot was delayed by a 10 minute spell of what I assume was e2fsck since the drive led was on during those times. It is now booted, and a 64 bit version of Min 17.1 is now a download in progress since all the repo's for mint 14 have vanished like the morning fog. Xfce version I believe since this thing is certifiably in the Ford model T horsepower range today. Are there any gotcha's other than the formatter during the install and network crap I'll have to nuke after the install before I burn it and reinstall? I have a mouse plugged in. As I see that on 14, both the touchpad and the mouse are active, what is the name of the utility that completely disables the touchpad if a real mouse is found? Thanks all.

Desktop fails to load.
by Baron 19 Apr '15

19 Apr '15

Hi guys, New problem ! Following an upgrade to Debian Jessie, TDE 14 Desktop, when booting up, everything is fine until the machine gets to "Loading the Desktop". At this point it seems to hang for a minute or so before becoming a blank blue screen with only the mouse cursor present. From here the only thing that can be done is to select VT1 and login manually, typing "startx" gets to the Desktop. I've noticed that only VT1 will get to the Desktop and all the other terminals except VT8 leave you with a blue background, whilst VT8 now has just a tiny blinking cursor on a black screen which has no response to anything. Where do I need to look in order to put things back to normal ? Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards: Baron

gpg keys missing, how to fix?
by Gene Heskett 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi all; Whenever I do a package-manager or synaptic refresh, I am getting a squawk about missing keys, specifically about a mozilla update from wheezy-backports. And I just discovered that this error window can now be highlighted for a copy/paste, the lack of which I have silently bitched about for years. Whoever fixed that I owe a case of suds to, hold up ypur hand and identify yourself. Thank you very much. So here is the error message from synaptic: ======= W: GPG error: http://mozilla.debian.net wheezy-backports Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 85A3D26506C4AE2A W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://http.debian.net wheezy-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 8B48AD6246925553 Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (7.0/wheezy) <ftpmaster(a)debian.org> W: Failed to fetch http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/Release Unable to find expected entry 'updates/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) W: Failed to fetch http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/Release W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ========== Looks like I am missing 2 gpg sigs then. I assume there is an apt-get or apt-key command that I can invoke, but I'll be dipped if I can remember how it works. Can someone show me the cli command? Thanks.

It comes from the fact that, if you use Trinity, you're basically using year 2000 software, and there were no tablets (at least running Linux) at the time. It's a little like criticising a 1970's car for not providing airbags... I don't know how or when KDE4 / Gnome 3 / Unity will get "tablet ready", but I must say I'm quite pleased with the fact that TDE "can be used" on a tablet, although it was not written for one! > Thanks. > > André Basically, what I always thought proves to be right: those that are despreately trying to develop a user interface supposed to "scale" from a Desktop to a Tablet will fail, because a good Table interface will always feel clumsy on a big screen with a mouse (things too big, set up too streamlined) and a Desktop interface is quite unusable on a Tablet (unless you are fitted with stylus-like fingers, which is not my case). So if you put a desktop system on a tablet, you should not expect the same experience as Android. Apple is the only one to do it right: IOS is quite different from the OS X desktop. A pity it's made by Apple and suffers from Apple's policy. Thierry

Does it have to be nautilus and nfs? Have you tried nfs://192.168.0.2/home/dpjungk/Share/ (or sftp://...) in Konqueror? Konqueror can save login info and I think network logins are automatic/transparent, but most of my LAN logins are via ssh key-pairs (sftp, rsync, scp and ssh) so I'm not sure.

kcalc, revisited, FEATURE REQUEST
by Gene Heskett 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi all; I did solve the previous complaint about the TDE version of kcalc losing its binary input and bitfield display, by making two links in the menu's, one to the old KDE kcalc, and one to the TDE kcalc. But I/we have another problem. Back around kubuntu 6.04 LTS time, kcalc had a pair of menu macros to do inch to metric, and metric to inch. By ubu 10.04 LTS, those disappeared, apparently never to be seen again. Whats chances those could be resurrected for the R14.2 version of TDE? Surely the older codebase still exists someplace, and for us who live in both worlds as I was in electronics for 55 years of my working life, and that pair of macro's were, while they existed, handier than bottled beer & sliced bread in keeping the two measurement worlds on the same page around my piece of this planet. But now its gone. Sniff... Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

shell script help needed
by multi 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, I'm using Trinity 3.5.13.2 that was installed with exe GNU linux. I have a bash script to mount a shared folder from a remote server and open it in a window. I launch it from a desktop icon. It looks like this: sudo mount 192.168.0.2:/home/dpjungk/Share /mnt/nfs/client1 nautilus /mnt/nfs/client1 It works fine -- except that, if I close the window and want to reopen it, it obviously asks for the password every time. Is there a way to check to see if it is mounted so that it only asks for the password if it is the first time? Thank you for your time, Don

How to get an onscreen keyboard?
by Thierry de Coulon 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello all, I found a second hand Acer Iconia TAB W500 - for those who don't know the beast, it's an X86 Tablet with an optional usb keyboard and relatively modest specs (an AMD dual core C-50 at 1GHz). The fun of this project was to see if a Linux Tablet is usable. It turns out (not surprisingly) that Linux does run very happily on this machine, but that as good as no distribution (that I have found) offers a sensible user interface for a touch screen. Debian stable + Gnome 3 is unusable (stays stuck all the time). openSuSE with KDE 4 looks nice but I could not find a way to get the UI elements in a size usable with my fingers. The best I got yet is Ubuntu with Unity. It's a disaster when it comes to administrate the computer, but it's the best UI for usability. While researching for this project I re-read what KDE 4 devs had said about having to give up KDE 3 because it was not "touchfriendly", so I tried TDE on Ubuntu. Now, TDE is actually very usable on a touchscreen. There is ONE problem - I can't find a way to activate an onscreen keyboard. Ubuntu/Unity starts a tool called "onboard" that works almost as expected (does not always seem to see if an external keyboard is present). It seems to be linked to lightdm. I can try to run Trinity with lightdm. Or has anyone a suggestion as to how to get an onscreen keyboard with tdm? Ah, and there would also be the problem of emulating the right mouse button click. Without this it's very difficule to work in tablet mode. Happy easter! Thierry

Tactile virtual keyboard does'nt appear
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

Hello, On TDE Desktop, Debian Jessie, with a computer tactile (touch) screen, the tactile virtual keyboard does'nt appear. I can open applications and close applications, but no virtual keyboard. Also, impossible to zoom a a piece of the screen with the 3 fingers. It does't come from the computer, because everything works well with Windows-8. Thanks. André
