[trinity-users] TDE session won't start in buntu 16.04
by Felix Miata 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

On attempt to start session either via TDM greeter or startx, popup message reports: "There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /home/username/.DCOPserver_hostname_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" Then on dismissing that popup, another reports: "Could not start tdeinit. Check your installation." So, check how? What's supposed to start dcopserver? Is the "cannot open" message in .xsession-errors saying that some dependency is broken? I see mention of libbfd there, but 2.26.1-system.so (not libbfd-2.26-system.so) does exist in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. Do others have 14.0.3 running OK on 16.04? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Cannot install TDE trinity in Stretch box
by Ken Heard 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In a box the hard drives of which had never been used, I installed a basic stretch, leaving me at the end only with the command line for any further packages installations. I the did the following: all these commands were run as root. Since I wanted to install TDE only -- no other DEs -- I ran command "apt-get x-window-system". When that was done I was able to run successfully startx. I added to /etc/sources.list the following two lines: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14 I then ran successfully: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 and then "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" successfully. When next I ran "apt-get install tde-trinity" the following was returned. Reading package lists... done Reading dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not been created or been move out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: tde-trinity: Depends: tde-core-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed. tde-trinity: Depends: tdegraphics-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed. E: Unable to correct problems; you have broken packages. Running "aptitude install tde-trinity returns a similar message. I would appreciate it greatly if someone could tell me what all the foregoing means and what to do now to install the TDE.

[trinity-users] minimalist instructions added to openSUSE & Debian Wiki pages
by Felix Miata 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

The differences in package naming across distros in combination with the weakness of my memory has been making it a bit of a pain to create a new minimal installation, thus these alterations: To https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… I added: The R14.0.3 tde-trinity package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install minimalist, substitute tdebase-trinity for tde-trinity, and append tdm-trinity if you wish to use TDM as your display manager. To https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSE_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… I added: The trinity-desktop package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install minimalist, substitute trinity-tdebase for trinity-desktop, and append trinity-tdm if you wish to use TDM as your display manager. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[trinity-users] 14.0.3 corrupts sound destination in openSUSE 42.1
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

On other PCs with openSUSE (42.1, 13.2 & 13.1) and TDE 14.0.x that have no speaker built into the motherboard, I've not experienced $SUBJECT, sound simply works as expected. On this PC, a SFF Dell Optiplex 780, aplay and speaker-test work as expected whether run in multi-user.target or graphical.target, as does Youtube sound running an IceWM session, producing sound from accessory speakers plugged into the green jack, only if a TDE session is not running or has not been running since the last instance of 'alsactl restore'. Speakers always work as expected in openSUSE Tumbleweed running Plasma5 or openSUSE 13.2 or 13.1 running KDE4 (none of which have their respective pulseaudio packages installed). IOW, TDE redirects sound to the internal speaker that should be going to external speakers, only on this one PC. Might there be a fix for this that does not involve polluting the installation with the otherwise unnecessary Pulseaudio rpm and its deps? output of alsa-info.sh: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/421/alsa-info-gx780-s421.txt Various installed rpms: alsa-1.0.29-10.1.x86_64 alsa-firmware-1.0.29-3.2.noarch alsa-plugins-1.0.29-10.1.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.29-9.1.x86_64 arts-1.5.10-66.2.x86_64 libasound2-1.0.29-10.1.x86_64 libpulse-mainloop-glib0-7.0-5.1.x86_64 libpulse0-7.0-5.1.x86_64 trinity-arts-1.5.10-14.0.3_1.oss421.x86_64 trinity-kmix-14.0.3-1.oss421.x86_64 trinity-libarts-akode-14.0.3-1.oss421.x86_64 trinity-libarts-audiofile-14.0.3-1.oss421.x86_64 trinity-libarts-mpeglib-14.0.3-1.oss421.x86_64 trinity-libarts-xine-14.0.3-1.oss421.x86_64 (as yet ignored) opensuse mailing list thread (from before I found alsactl restore helped outside of a TDE session): https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-07/msg00283.html -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Bigger mouse pointer is too "translucent"
by Gene Heskett 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Greetings all; I have tde R14.0.#up-to-date installed on the computer running one of my milling machines, and there are occasions when I pick up the mouse to use it about 4 feet away. Thats getting close to its range limit as both the keyboard and mouse are RF. (bluetooth?) So I set it for the biggest mouse pointer in order to see it better from that distance. But while the std sized pointer seems opaque, the larger one is quite translucent which reduces its visual contrast. Is this fixable to be fully opaque someplace? Thanks.

tdenetworkmanager, where is the conf file
by Uwe Brauer 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hello In the old trinity 3.5 series (at least for Kubuntu 10.04) the config file for knetworkmanager was in ./trinity/share/conf However I can't file that file or anything similar in the trinity 14.X series (on Kununtu 14.04). Anybody has an idea? thanks Uwe Brauer

kmail & gpg
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Hi all! I have a strange issue with kmail and gpg (TDE 14.0.4, devuan jessie) : When I open kmail and click on an encrypted mail, pinentry-gtk-2 asks for the gpg password once. When I click on any other encrypted mail, it simply opens that mail decrypted - just as i like it. gpg-agent ist running, kpgp is running. On a second computer and different user account when I click on an encrypted mail I get asked for the gpg password every time (which is quite naging with ~ 100 encrypted mails per day). gpg-agent is not running, kpgp is running. Starting gpg-agent by hand does not change this behaviour. So, where should I start to look? Is it correct to assume that kmail starts kgpg which starts gpg-agent? how can I get debug output?

How to download photos with Krusader?
by Robert Peters 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Hello, With PCManFM I can download photos from an LG phone using MTP connection type. In Krusader 1.90.0 under Trinity 14.0.4 using either MTP or PTP, the phone doesn't even appear in the available media list. I just upgraded everything and added kamera-trinity. Any idea what might be missing? Thanks in advance - Robert

by Uwe Brauer 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

Hi I installed in a 2 laptop kubuntu 14.04 and the latest trinity version found in deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 I set an icon in the desktop, emacs 25 which I just compiled. Everything was as always but when I tried to drag and drop that icon over to the panel in it not work, the icon did not «entered» the panel. I have done this for years for non tde applications, what happened. Is this feature now disabled? thanks Uwe Brauer

tdenetworkmanager can connect to some wifi networks, but not to all (Enterprise)
by Uwe Brauer 03 Jul '16

03 Jul '16

hi Running Trinity 14.X on Kubuntu 14.04 I face the following problem with tdenetworkmanager: - I can connect to private wifi networks, - when I try to connect to enterprise type of network (eduroam, a sort of universal network setting for universities in europe), which requires a bit more complicated authentication I obtain the following error - Insufficient permissions - network manager not working - DBUS failure That is sort of bizarre, since I could connect to these networks using the trinity 3.5.X series on 10.04. Anybody has an idea? thanks Uwe Brauer
