Firefox and/or Desktop folder
by Patrick Serru 17 Sep '11

17 Sep '11

Hello all, I did the same (double) error twice, with obviously the same result twice. The first time, I continue to use the system, which meant that I did not know where was the error. The objective was to install Firefox 5.0. 1 - I copied a directory /usr/local/firefox/ from a system used before 2 - I tried to edit a firefox icon coming also from the other system, 3 - I completely uninstalled firefox using Synaptic (that did not removed the ~/.mozilla/). At the end of stage 2, TDE changed their behavior: the icon (firefox) disappeared from the office, and TDE "showed" the launch of an application (clicking on a desktop icon) by in the magnifying. I had initially inhibited this option (called "bouncing cursor", I think). I do not know which of point two or three is causing the problem, but at the following reboot, TDE showed blue cursors and finally "Can not open theme file /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu-kde3/ ". In the current working installation, there is no /opt/kde/ but /opt/kde3/. Once the session opened, there was no menu Start. (I am not ready to live without it!) I am currently with a screen size of 1152x864 that comes out of a magician's hat (this is the very first time it appens with THIS format!), while after the last system restore (and associated wasted time), throw in usual 1280x1024. I have already indicated the unsolved problem of ATI drivers installation in another post.

TDE 3.12 and KMail
by Patrick Serru 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

Hello everyone, My old KMail3.10 directory contains a total of 1GB,for212internal directories. For each directory, I had to select all the e-mail content, then applied for registration under the "mbox" format, importable by other email-clients. This was because KDE4 did not offer a smooth transition from KMail3.5 (or I missed it!). Now I discover TDE and Thunderbird, I would like to return using KMail. My question is: "My KMail3.5 directory (and the 300ko kmailrc, including many filters) will be treated without difficulty by KMail3.12 or is there a risk of existence of time bombs in the bowels of KMail after this transition ? Did some Trinity-User do that ? > Le 14/09/2011 20:54, Greg Madden a écrit : >> Good topic for another thread. > Thank you Greg. I see two metaphors now...

ATI, sound and console
by Patrick Serru 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

(sending again this mail, sorry if it was already sent but I did not receive any answer... I am also new in Thunderbird!) ------------------------------- Hello everyone, I salute the tremendous work of the development team and I thank them. I hope the spirit of this team will always remain, just as one who leads the project "Damned Small Linux", for exemple. I hope to permanently abandon my Suse 10.3 + KDE 3.5.10, and is keen to stay with KDE 3.5 TDE Trinity. The issues regarding this that I have with the "Trinity-Enterprise" distribution (kubuntu 10.10) are: SOUND: I have no sound. KMix opens with the mixer "PulseAudio" by default and I have to reconfigure each time in VIA_8237. Also, I use the entry "Line" physical and when the configuration is correct, this input is sent to the audio output of the computer and the level of output (input signal from the "Line", so) is well controlled. But there is no sound from TDE that is audible (noatun or amarok, for example) VIDEO: I can not install the drivers for my ATI graphics card. The packets manager says that the ATI drivers are installed. The various tutorials found are all refering to the Gnome menus... These difficulties are well borring, but I can wait for the next distribution, hopping that Gnome will coexist with TDE anabling to choise the window manager (gnome or tde) at the login time. Also: The "standard" console (i.e. reached with "Ctrl+Alt+F1") is reachable only once. Is it normal, being a SELinux feature, for exemple ? The key "page-up" does not work the way I know in Kconsole or in standard console: Typing "/etc/init.d/" then page-up displays the last command entered starting with "/etc/init.d/"... an other SELinux feature ? Thank you, Patrick

Konqueror text view
by ant 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

I'm still struggling with this, as follows: When I open a new directory with Konqueror, it frequently comes up in 'Icon View' rather than 'Text View'. I've tried changing and saving view profiles, and looking through every configuration file I can find to see why. I'm baffled. Does anyone have any ideas? And, as a possibly related question, in 'Settings' what do Remove Folder Properties and Save View Changes Per Folder Actually do (and mean, come to that)? cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 6, desktop trinity-KDE.

Kickoff menu unstable
by Francois Andriot 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hello, I'm currently using TDE 3.5.12 compiled on RHEL6. By default, kmenu is showing the classic KDE menu, which works very well. But when I switch to "Kickoff" menu, I have 2 issues: 1) The "K" button icon is automatically changed to the default KDE icon, and the word "Go!" is displayed alongside the button, even though I chose a custom icon and unchecked the option "Display text in K menu button". 2) Randomly (but quickly) when browsing the Kickoff menu, it hangs. Then the "kicker" process eats 100% cpu and I have to manually kill it and restart it. Re-switching to the classic menu makes both issues vanish ... Is anyone else having stability issue with kickoff ? (Note: I have the exact same behaviour with the current 3.5.13 SVN build) Thanks Francois Andriot

KWallet problem with LDAP
by John A. Sullivan III 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Hello, all. I think this is more of a usage than a development question. Most of our applications authenticate against LDAP. Many of these same applications store their passwords in KWallet. If the password changes, KWallet remembers the old one until it fails and the user is prompted for a new one. But, when it fires off requests for several different applications at once, LDAP locks the account so users are unable to enter the new password. Has anyone found a way to work around this? I'll explain in more detail in case it is not clear. In our case, the culprit is usually Kontact and KOrgac. They may store passwords for an email account, several calendars, several address books, a task list, etc. When the user changes their LDAP password, the first time these application try to synchronize, they may send 8, 10, 12, however many requests for authentication depending on the number of email accounts, calendars, etc. All those requests at once with wrong passwords look like a brute force attack and LDAP locks the account. Any tips on getting around this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - John
