"Start Job"
by Baron 18 Mar '18

Hi Guys, An annoying issue has appeared ! I'm running Q4OS, Trinity Desktop on an AMD dual core machine with 2Gb ram and 500Gb HDD. Problem: On boot up, maybe every second or third time, I get a black screen with "[*** ] Start job running - ~0.XX seconds. 1:30." If I Ctrl Alt Del the machine restarts with the same screen and message. If I let it continue, I then get a page of text with "Ctrl D" to continue, "Or enter Root Password to Login" Using "Ctrl D" everything just stops and I have to hard boot the machine, It then goes back to the start job again. If I login with the root password, I get pages and pages of what I think maybe logs. At the end of this if I "StartX" I get my normal desktop. At this point if I logout and hard boot the machine, everything comes up as normal. I haven't a clue what is going on here... Help ! Thanks Guys: -- Best Regards: Baron

advice for completion of a stunt
by dep 16 Mar '18

so, to see if i could do it, i've flashed ubuntu 13.04 to a 2012 asus nexus tablet. to my surprise, wifi and such work. *not* to my surprise, i hate hate hate the ubuntu default desktop and want to replace it as soon as i can. after some poking around (made more interesting by an onscreen keyboard that comes and goes as it wishes, irrespective of whether text needs to be entered, which is annoying when you don't need it and maddening when you do), i got a terminal running and sought to install some of the essentials. (by tradition, the first thing i install on a new linux system is mc, because it is the best tool to get me out of whatever trouble i get myself into.) and i discovered that all the repositories are now 404. am hoping to find someplace where they are archived so as to severely edit my sources list and get, among other things, tde. the corresponding debian distro is raring. it does sort of run (though about half the stuff is canonical trying to sell me music and stuff, which i think they've stopped doing anyway) but without a decent desktop i can't imagine how i can put it through its paces. and yes, the icons are tiny, beyond the fact that ubuntu touch kinds sucks in general. in tde i can make the icons bigger. i'm hoping to justify the expenditure of time . . . and tun tde on a tablet. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

I can't really analyze your problem but this is what I know (and do): - I prefer the "KDE Classic Icon Theme" but not some of it's icons (the network icon for instance). So I created my own theme by copying the few icons I wanted from one theme to the other. - So, everytime I install TDE somewhere, I need to transport my Icon set. Which is actually very easy: copy the (modified) directory from /opt/trinity/share/icons (so it would be the Crystalsvg directory for you) to /some/backup/location. In my case it's on a nfs share. after a new install, use konqueror as filemanager (super user mode) to copy that directory in /opt/trinity/share/icons select the correct icon theme in trinity control center. Never has any trouble. So if I were at you place, I'd delete everything in /opt/trinity/share/icons, copy back the icon directories (I can let you grab a copy) and that should do the trick. Thierry I will install one new set and check everything but I'd rather know why than just fix it if I can...tnx Danny

These are the fish I can think of... What does Trinity Control Center say? Can you change the icon theme there? Thierry Ah...you've opened up a symptom.....good...good... Found none of the tde installed icons sets would let me change an icon on the desktop using kdesktop/properties/select-icon But two that had been externally installed worked fine...gnome and adwait Using Trinity Control Center as root it allowed me to remove all other themes except I wanted to try and rescue crystalSVG so I left it and exhaustively compared and investigated...but no obvious issues with permissions or missing pieces. I just wish someone with in-depth knowledge of this issue could tell me where the path or symlink is that tells Select - Icon Kdesktop where to look for those crystalSVG icons... I'm pretty sure if I installed an external downloaded theme say the new crystalSVG it would work...but hate to do that... I even reinstalled tdebase-data-trinity (crystalSVG actual icons) tdeartwork (all the others except mono) tde-icons-mono-trinity (monochrome) And it puts them all back but the system still cannot find them... When you go to desktop and have the system set for any of the tde installed themes now and you pick out an icon on the desktop you select properties and then click on that icon boom lala land....cursor forever...even let it run overnight... but if you switch to and externally installed theme it goes right to the different locations...and shows those icons for you to visually select and change as you wish In all folders /actions /animations /apps /categories /devices /emblems etc....etc....etc...

ExeGnu TDE on a Lenovo G400 ThinkPad

Hello, I installed from the most recent USB image. To use WiFi, does it need Ndiswrapper, or some other driver? Apparently Lenovo provides only Windows drivers. Robert
