[trinity-users] Project status report - history
by Slávek Banko 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi all, before we get back to earlier discussions, let me take a little trip into history and summarize how the state of the project has evolved over time and what are the tasks that await us. Note: If you do not want to take a trip into history, you can wait for the subsequent e-mail with the Summary chapter. -- 2008 / 2009 -- KDE 3.5 development comes to a stop KDE 3.5 development stops. As a KDE 3.5 maintainer for Ubuntu, Tim devotes his efforts to maintaining KDE 3.5 for newer versions of KUbuntu - still under the original name KDE 3.5. Unfortunately, I do not know much about that time. Tim provides repositories that sooner or later would be found as PPAs on the official Ubuntu Launchpad. Tim provides bugtracker and mailing lists that are independent of the Ubuntu world. -- 2010 -- TDE is born! Fork KDE 3.5 is official - Trinity Desktop is here! The first version of TDE (3.5.11) is released. A branch in KDE SVN is used to manage the source code. Other services are provided and donated by Tim. Starting with release 3.5.12, Tim provides QuickBuild (a custom instance of Launchpad). Thank to this, the project has an independent environment for building packages and providing repositories for Debian like distributions. -- 2011 -- Move to TQt TDE 3.5.13 is released - the first version where the TQt interface library is used. It is decided to change the numbering for the new major release - it will be TDE R14.0.0. Work is underway to migrate from KDE SVN to TDE own GIT SCM. -- 2012 -- Development, stable and SRU releases Because TDE 3.5.13 contained many minor but also major issues, a repository was created to provide packages with backported patches from the main R14.0.0 development branch - the basis for working on a stable branch was created. Initially, only individual packages were created, but gradually all packages were added and a complete release of TDE 3.5.13.1 is created. Migration to the GIT is complete! The project has all the services on its own servers - provided and donated by Tim. There is a system of mirrors where individual mirrors are provided and donated by the owners of these mirrors. -- 2013 -- Work on upcoming R14.0.0 continues TDE 3.5.13.2 is released. Many KDE => TDE renames are being done for the upcoming R14.0.0. -- 2014 -- R14.0.0 is finally here + PSB TDE R14.0.0 is released! A base framework for major, minor and maintenance releases is established. Due to air conditioning issues on Tim's infrastructure and the temporary shutdown of some services, alternative repositories with builders independent of QuickBuild are created - repository known as Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB). The infrastructure for PSB is provided and donated by Slávek. Mirror PSB is provided and donated by Jan Černohorský (mirror.xcer.cz). The structure of official mirrors is improved to reduce overloading the connectivity of primary servers when a new version is released. Mike Bird provides and donates the primary mirror. -- 2015 -- Maintenance releases TDE R14.0.1 and R14.0.2 are released. Due to low funds, some services are shutdown on Tim's infrastructure - regular automatic creation of Ubuntu LiveCDs with TDE. Access to Nightly Builds is restricted. And there are some hardware issues with the servers on Tim's infrastructure. Slávek manages to get a VPS machine from vpsFree as a donation! This makes it possible to create a new highly optimized primary redirector. Thanks to the cache on the redirector, the process of releasing new releases has become significantly faster. It also provides a fallback server so that development and services can continue. -- 2016 -- More maintenance releases TDE R14.0.3 and R14.0.4 are released. Development is progressing steadily. Infrastructure is stable - Tim's primary site, mirrors with primary from Mike, VPS from vpsFree, Slávek's infrastructure for PSB. There are small donations from contributors. Tim is busy with other projects for most of the year. -- 2017 -- A quiet year for TDE + PTB No new release of TDE :-( Development is slow and mostly limited to keep packages into a building state. Most of the developers are very busy through the year. Nightly Builds don't work properly for a long time and due to Tim absence, it's difficult to add new distributions. Therefore the Preliminary Testing Build (PTB) repository has been set up to replace Night Builds. The packages are built on the same infrastructure as PSB. Both repositories - PSB and PTB - have now been placed on the primary redirector - VPS from vpsFree, making them more accessible and giving them some sort of official recognition. -- 2018 -- TDE lives on. TGW becomes the new developer's home TDE R14.0.5 is released - the project has not die after all! Thanks to VPS donated by vpsFree, we introduced a new development collaboration tool - TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW). This greatly improves the ability to contribute to the project and new contributors have joined. Problems with services hosted on Tim's primary infrastructure are becoming progressively bigger, causing issues to the project as a whole given only Tim can manage those services. Slávek and Michele come up with plans for an anternative TDE infrastructure should Tim be no longer available in future. -- 2019 -- New life for TDE and a new project leader! TDE R14.0.6 and R14.0.7 are released. Thanks to VPS donated by vpsFree, the TDE Weblate Translation Workspace (TWTW) is introduced. This greatly simplifies and improves translation work and let users translates TDE into their own languages from a browser seamlessly. Tim arranges for the donation of a new TDE box from IntegriCloud! A powerful machine on the POWER9 architecture which is fully manageable and accessible to other core project members. No more "one man weak link" in the infrastructure. Migration of services from Tim's infrastructure to the new TDE box is started. Tim agrees to pass the role of project leader to Slávek. A new primary archive is created, the layout is changed and cleaning is performed. As a result, primary archive is no longer dependent on QuickBuild as it would make it impossible to release new versions for current distributions. Reprepro is now used to manage the repositories. The official packages are now based on PSB. This also allows smoother synchronization of new releases to mirrors. The new archive is located on Slávek's home server, which maintains and donates it. -- 2020 -- TDE 10th anniversary! TDE R14.0.8 is released - we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first release of TDE! Although there are several tasks for migrating services from Tim's infrastructure to Integricloud's new TDE box, the services needed for development are working properly. Several new contributors to code and translations have joined and development is at its peak in the last 6 or 7 years. The project is doing well! R14.0.9 is planned for a Q4 release. Welcome back from a trip into history! A summary of the state of the infrastructure will be in the subsequent e-mail... stay tuned. Cheers -- Slávek

[trinity-users] Review/Edit Please, Wiki: MX Linux Trinity Repository Installation Instructions
by Michael 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Would someone review the changes I made to: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In… Typo’s?, instructions make sense?, file download works? (seems to in Firefox), file not destroyed by browser XYZ?, file is destroyed in browser XYZ? Thanks, Michael PS: Limitation of the Wiki software requires uploading the file under the wrong name. As far as I could research there is no other way to do it, but I’d gladly be wrong. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] A near windows 10 suicide & The ideapad flex 4 of Death - A Horror Story
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 19 Aug '20

19 Aug '20

Ok, SO... A neighbour, decide to give me his ideapad flex 4, after seriously contemplating suicide rather than continue using win10. I replaced it with a thinkpad and Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS roll. He's very happy, his employer has NO idea Bob's sudden increase in productivity has anything to do with linux. So all is well. I have cleansed the ideapad of the diseased demon and installed Big Daddy PCLOS. All is well expect the touch screen doesn't work. Anyone know of any packages I need to install? I seem to have all of them. Until the ideas (pun intended) begin rolling in, I'll continue my research. Thanks in advance, Kate The Great and Terrible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Did this for a MX forum post https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=59865 , figured it'd be relevent since y'all are talking about it here as well. = = = = = Vivaldi https://vivaldi.com/ Repository Installations: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/manual-setup-vivaldi-linux-repositories/ Note: Do not use their download page, https://vivaldi.com/download/ About: https://vivaldi.com/company/ Vivaldi is owned by its employees. And we plan to keep it that way. Having no external investors gives us the freedom to listen to our users and, together with them, build the browser they deserve. From Wikipedia: Vivaldi is a freeware, cross-platform web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Opera Software co-founder and former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita. It was officially launched on April 6, 2016.[10][11] Although intended for general users, it is first and foremost targeted towards technically-inclined users as well as former Opera users disgruntled by its transition from the Presto layout engine to a Chromium-based browser that resulted in the loss of many of its iconic features.[10][12] Despite also being Chromium-based, Vivaldi aims to revive the features of the Presto-based Opera with its own proprietary modifications.[13][14] As of April 2020, Vivaldi has 1.5 million active monthly users.[15] Vivaldi released a mobile (Android) beta version on September 6, 2019 and a regular release on April 22, 2020. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

So it's time to build a new one. I have all the parts save for one. I want to use a soundblaster audigy like card (the one in the old geezer is 32 bit pci), I need one that will fit a modern slot. Has anyone any experience with a good SB audigy like card? Definetly want to stay with soundblaster. I would like the collective's input. No banana bread recipes please.

[trinity-users] Thinkpad X1, Ubuntu 20, trinity resume, hibernate and network card
by Uwe Brauer 16 Aug '20

Hi I have one annoying thing left in my trinity installation, when I resume, after hibernation or suspend, the network is not only disconnected but has to be restarted via sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service The culprit is most likely systemd However sometimes I have to disable the card in the trinity network card and enable it again. Can I mind this operation to a key? And in general can I somehow improve whit the sudo solution?

[trinity-users] KMail IMAP Sent Folder
by deloptes 13 Aug '20

13 Aug '20

Hi, is someone using KMail actively with IMAP? For a long long time I see sent mails go to the local Sent folder, but not to the IMAPs Sent folder. How do I tell KMail to use the IMAPs Sent folder? And first of all why does it go to the local Sent folder when the SMTP server is in the configuration? I guess it is some asynchronous job doing the sending from Outgoing ... but in general it is a mystery to me. Thanks in advance --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Hi all! I just ran into a problem with konqueror and fish:// : konqueror only shows the files till the first filename with an invalid UTF8-characters, all following files are not shown. I just came around this when mounting old pre-UTF8-backups on the server and tried to access the files from TDE. I can list an access the files on the server. Anybody else seeing this, too? Oh, whne I am on it: I was under the impression that TDE also had sshfs:// protocol some time ago. Is this gone now? When I enter sshfs://... in konqueror it opens a terminal ...
