True transparency for konsole

hi all! I wonder ... has anybody tried this on TDE already? It is advertised as "A fix for one of the most annoying missing features in KDE. This patch brings true transparency (with Xgl/Beryl) to Konsole.

Trinity components missing from the OpenSuSE repository
by J Leslie Turriff 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

This is not strictly a Trinity question. I have been trying to follow the tutorials in TQt Assistant, but I'm being stymied by several issues. I have almost the complete suite of Trinity components installed (bar a few that I don't want to run even accidentally). The first (and perhaps most important) issue is that, while trinity-tqt3-debuginfo and trinity-tqt3-debugsource are present and installed, trinity-tqt3 is not, nor is it present in OpenSuSE's trinity-x86-64 repository. I'm not sure what that package provides, but I suspect that its absence is part of my problems. I am able to run tqdesigner, but most of the icons that it ought to provide to GUIs that are created are missing (e.g. fileopen, filesave, editcut, editcopy, ...); perhaps these would have been provided by trinity-qt3? I'm also a bit bemused that tqdesigner is installed in /usr/bin, not /opt/trinity/bin; at first I was afraid that it had come from kde4 or 5. There is also kdevdesigner, which is a component of tdevelop. It loops if started without a filepath argument, and crashes when I try to open any file. (Actually, all of the components of that package seem to behave this way.) Which is the preferred toolset to be used for development, tdevelopment or the tqt3-* components? In any case, I'm assuming that I'm not going to get any farther without trinity-tqt3 installed. Is there a way for me to get it direct from the Trinity git environment? Leslie

the lure of unknown distros ~ versus too much stuff
by William Morder 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Since this conversation appears to have gone off the rails already -- at least three or four "leaps" in thought beyond the original question and header -- I am starting a new thread. Please feel free to cut out the excess verbiage.

When I was a couple decades younger, I used to try out new distros. And it's fun, and if I had more machines on which I could run experiments, while keeping at least one or two machines working soundly, then I would jump in without hesitation. I used to have a room full of Frankenstein computers, all of them built out of parts, used to perform different kinds of tasks, including at least one or two test machines. But now I must be content with just a BIG desktop Frankenstein, although I am trying to get a couple of reconditioned laptops for testing machines and for use as travel. I have the same basic problem with both books and music. To untrained eyes (such as landlords, property managers, etc.), this looks like useless clutter; but I swear, all this stuff is the absolute bare minimum needed for me to accomplish what I have set out to do. There is nothing to be gained in trying to explain to outsiders just *why* I believe that I need so much, because they won't ever get it no matter how well I explain it to them. For the present, I must try to limit myself to keeping things that will actually fit inside my living space; otherwise, there will be nowhere for me to rest my head at night.
