skype and pulse audio
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a fix to re-enable alsa or the like? Kate

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. Regards, Thierry

Missed dependency installing trinity-desktop on Suse Leap 42.2
by Pinotto 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

I tried to install trinity desktop by following instruction on https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall. All run well, but after the command zypper install trinity-desktop the system gave following error message: Problem: nothing provides libaudio.so.2()(64bit) needed by trinity-kttsd- contrib-lugins-14.0.4-1.oss422.x86-64 As I tried only to install some trinity software using yast I got a similar error: nothing provides lib|lm|mf-2_2.so.22()(64bit) needed by trinity-kttsd-contrib- lugins-14.0.4-1.oss422.x86-64 What can I do to solve that? PS: packman repository is implemented (http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/openSUSE_Leap_42.2/)

Port distro-specific KDE3 "branding" packages to Trinity?
by Conner McCoy 26 Mar '17

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

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

How to change tdm themes?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

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
by Leslie Turriff 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

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.
