by Michael 27 Apr '25

I can't find any news on trinitydesktop.org about 4:14.1.4 being release, but apt is trying to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4.

Downloading all TDE packages
by Darrell Anderson 27 Apr '25

27 Apr '25

A few days ago I installed Devuan Daedalus in a VM and downloaded the TDE 14.1.3 mega package 'tde-trinity'. I presumed that "mega" package downloaded everything TDE, but seems to be only individual packages split from the core package group. Missing from my effort are packages such as amarok, koffice, themes, etc. I tried 'apt search trinity' but that is a messy output. Next I tried 'apt-cache search trinity | grep -v 18n'. That produced a list of 786 packages. Clipping the output produces provided me only package names. I shrugged, inhaled, and launched 'for pkg in $(apt-cache search trinity | grep -v i18n | sed 's| - .*||'); do apt install -y $pkg; done'. Seemed to succeed but raised a simple question. Is there a short-hand method to download everything TDE?

Recognizing phone
by Darrell Anderson 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

I have a flip phone that is recognized immediately (lsusb) but does not appear anywhere in TDE that I can see. I receive popups or desktop icons in KDE and Xfce. I have enabled KControl->Desktop->Behavior->Device Icons->Show Device Icons. There are few devices in that list not enabled, but I do not see anything in Konqueror Storage Devices. My first presumption is something not configured correctly here or packages not compiled correctly. What is fully required to get TDE to recognize the phone? Thanks.

TDE full install (everything and the kitchen sink)
by Darrell Anderson 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

I finally created a Devuan VM. I installed KDE, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon. Everything is updated and seems to be working fine. I populated apt sources.list per the wiki and downloaded the TDE signing key. When I run the following command: apt install tde-trinity I receive the message: The following packages will be REMOVED: desktop-base gnome-control-center I did not install the GNOME desktop and don't care about gnome-control-center (probably a Cinnamon requirement). I do not know what removing desktop-base will do. Running "apt show desktop-base" reveals a description of "common files for the Devuan Desktop." Is auto removing desktop-base safe? I want to retain all of the other desktop environments to see how TDE interacts in a mixed environment. Second, I want to install every doggone TDE package possible. I never have experienced a full TDE and I want to see how everything functions. Running "apt search trinity" finds many packages. I don't know if "apt install tde-trinity" installs everything. My Debian Fu is horribly rusty and could use help proceeding. Thanks.

PSB/PTB
by J Leslie Turriff 21 Apr '25

Is there any chance of having these available for openSUSE? In particular, Tumbleweed is a rolling distro, and it would probably be welcome there, but I'd take advantage of it on Leap if it was available.

Autostart nm-applet blocked in TDE
by Darrell Anderson 20 Apr '25

20 Apr '25

I don't travel much with my laptop so my home network connection remains more or less static. Nonetheless I have noticed for some time that the nm-applet does not appear in my system tray. Manually launching nm-applet succeeds and the icon appears in the tray. Eventually I traced the problem to the desktop file: NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME; Removing the 'KDE' directive allows nm-applet to launch in TDE. The problem with that is KDE has its own NetworkManager front-end and nm-applet is not needed. So the KDE directive is needed. The mystery is why is TDE interpreting 'KDE' to mean 'TDE'? This seems like a bug but perhaps there is an explanation I am not seeing. I found a list discussion from about 10 years ago that seemed similar. In that discussion nm-applet was launching but the icon was not displaying correctly. In my case nm-applet is not launching unless I remove the 'KDE' directive from the desktop file. I know about tdenetworkmanager. Not important to this discussion. I first want to understand why TDE is incorrectly interpreting 'KDE' as 'TDE' or acting as though TDE is KDE. Thanks.

Odd delay logging out
by Darrell Anderson 20 Apr '25

20 Apr '25

I can't put my finger on anything. About a third of the time when I log out of my TDE session there is a notable (and irritating) delay. Almost like a freeze. Nothing in the .xsession-errors log. I start TDE from the console with startx. My first guess is some process not responding. Whether that process is TDE or other I do not know. I have seen this oddball event throughout my years of using TDE. Could well be I have configured something to cause the issue. I am open to suggestions to debug. Thanks.
