I'm also suffering a tiny fonts problem on an Asus Ux330u with an QHD
screen. the fonts on the taskbar (kicker) and the font on the menu
window of Trinity Control Center' are miniscule as are fonts on
applications like LibreOffice, GIMP, Pan, etc. as far as I can tell,
it affects all apps, whether Gnome or KDE.
the thing also boots to Gnome (Gnome or so-called Debian Desktop
Environment and Cinnamon) and to Windows 10, no problem with fonts. if
I were only sure which config files to steal from Gnome!
xdpyinfo |grep -B2 resolution -->
dimensions: 3200x1800 pixels (846x476 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
I've tried various settings in fonts enabling and disabling dpi. does
seem to do best with
Enabled
120 DPI
using exegnu version.
advice please.

The bug starts here.
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?

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.
However I installed TDE from the live TDE image so I did not installed
Ubuntu separately.
I think it is safe to remove completely this Ubuntu Advantage but it is
your choice...

Hi,
To see what is this "Ubuntu Advantage" you can go there:
https://buy.ubuntu.com/
and see if you need this thing or not...

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.

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?

It doesn't matter what Konqueror view profile you are using. I'm not
aware of any setup where tabbed browsing is not an option. To add
links to the side panel, right click tab bar > add new folder > folder
then right click the new folder to set Name, URL and Icon.
If you have a functional link on the desktop, that link can be located
in any other place that a link to Application or URL is allowed. I
don't have any nfs:// links, but my sftp:// links work fine.

One line history lesson: Mageia was founded by the Mandriva (formerly
Mandrake) people who were booted out after the company was taken over by
a Russian investor.
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 unofficially maintained the Trinity Mandriva packages for a while back
in the "early days", but then official packages were put out (which were
better than mine), so I stopped.
I'm hoping that somebody here can guide me so that I can get a proper
crash message out of the startup procedure which might give me a clue as
to why this is failing, I've never previously had a case where Trinity
crashed one system, but another. There may still be some stray library
somewhere that hasn't upgraded, it might be my NFS set up, or it might
be in some way hardware dependent. 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.

I have just installed TDE-Trinity in my Stretch box. On boot startx
opens x-server-x-org in F7, but the login manager does not appear.
/opt/trinity/bin is in the PATH in /etc/profiles, and tdm-trinity is
installed, but still no login manager.
Surely something else must be necessary to cause the login to appear. I
looked for guidance in the TDE instructions, but they are anything but
clear. Can somebody help me out?
Regards, Ken Heard
