[trinity-users] "could not find module 'kde-fonts'"
by Felix Miata 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

That's the response to: tdecmshell fonts This isn't the first time I've had to ask this, but I can never remember how to locate anything that provided an answer, likely because I've asked on IRC, where I have no archive, instead of here. Other than kinfocenter5, I don't see any package or menu item containing infocenter either. It's also missing from the KControl window. What package contains the fonts module in 14.0.4? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[trinity-users] window decorations stuck on tiny
by Felix Miata 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

14.0.4 Nothing I can find in KControl makes any titlebar objects bigger. I would expect something in either Window Decorations or Icons, but no joy. Among icons, several of the types offer only the default smallest size, 16px or 22px. trinity-accessibility is not installed, but I'm avoiding trying it because I don't expect to need kmag, msayit, kttsd or kmousetool, which trying to install it seems to require. Is there some special theme required? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

mime types from extensions only?
by wofgdkncxojef 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

konqueror can only tell file types from the extensions? I used KDE3 a long time ago, and then KDE4, so i might be confused. I have the impression that KDE3 could tell a file type with out depending on the extension. Right? I did something wrong with the config, or didn't install a package? The preview of folders is a KDE4 thing too? (Linux mint 18.2 mate 64bit)

Hello all, I'm trying Fedora 26 (no experience qith that distro, I rather don't like Red Hat so much). I follow the instructions on the wiki but when trying yum install trinity-desktop I get "Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'trinity-r14', disabling I checked with my browser and the repository seems to be there. Anyone use Fedora? Thierry

Smplayer failing to start
by Stefan Krusche 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hello everyone, on my system smplayer doesn't start from TDE. In ~/.xsession-errors is this error log: TQPaintDevice: Must construct a TQApplication before a TQPaintDevice [WARNING] Qt4 >= Qt 4.8.0 detected; you are likely affected by these Qt4 bugs: [WARNING] https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-25896 [WARNING] https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-26013 [WARNING] There is no known workaround for this problem; your Qt4 application will display with numerous graphical glitches.

TQPaintDevice: Must construct a TQApplication before a TQPaintDevice These two differ only in having a different order of some of the lines (and the language, because my konsole is configured to have locale LANG=C). The warnings don't seem to be a problem as I've seen them a lot of times before without noticing any glitches. The system is Debian wheezy with TDE 14.04. Smplayer comes from an external repository from the MEPIS Community: $ apt-cache policy smplayer smplayer: Installed: 17.7.0-0mcr12+1 Candidate: 17.7.0-0mcr12+1 Version table: *** 17.7.0-0mcr12+1 0 400 http://mxrepo.com/mepiscr/repo/ mepis12cr/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 14.9.0~ds0-1 0 90 http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages 0.8.0-1+deb7u1 0 500 http://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/debian/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages Mepis 12 is supposed to be compatible with wheezy, though. The TQPaintDevice error is not thrown, when smplayer/14.9.0~ds0-1 is installed, which is from jessie. Any ideas, what the TQPaintDevice error means and what I could do to fix that? Regards, Stefan

Displays ... again ...
by Peter Laws 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

CentOS 7 current, TDE current. Nvidia Quadro M2000 (4 x DP out), 2 x Dell P2416D displays. Applied patches last week and one of them (that seemed to be related to the Nvidia proprietary drivers) blew up the system. Eventually ended up re-installing in an ultimately-failed bid to get productive again (this is my work system). Decided to forgo the Nvidia drivers and use the open source stuff. Xrandr is a nightmare though, so I thought "well, just use the TDE built-in screen controls". Problem is that System Settings -> Monitor & Display can only see one of the displays. How do I get it to see the 2nd display? Yes, it's plugged in. Yes, I've checked "Enable global display control". Yes, I've clicked "Rescan Displays" (many times). "Test Settings" gets me "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default". Not sure the system is seeing the first display correctly even though it's working (I am typing this message on it) because while is sees 2560 x 1440 pixel, it thinks the refresh rate is 0 Hz (though, again, its working). Do I have to create and edit an Xorg.conf? Because I tried that and it didn't go well not to mention defeating the purpose of a "settings" GUI ... -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

TDE opens "Removable Device" notifier twice
by Gerhard Zintel 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hi list, I'm on TDE R14.0.4, Mint 18 installation. If I insert any USB memory stick I get two icons on the desktop and two pop-up windows notifying me "a new medium has been detected". E.g. one icon gives hint "/dev/sdd", the other one "/dev/sdd1". One of both mounts device, the other one states "unable to open device" even if I press it first. The correct message is: ========= snip =============== Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd ========= snip =============== Anyone any idea where to look for this problem? Even an USB printer opens a notifier window asking what to do with the removable device. I already moved away the .trinity folder and logged in again without success. Any help is appreciated Gerhard PS: I could try to chose 'do nothing' and check the 'always do this for this type of media' checkbox for the non working device but I fear, that afterwards even the correct working notification will not display any longer.

I'm on TDE 14.0.4 release on Linux Mint. Mittle button paste forks from Libre Office to Kmail and vice versa without problems. I can remember that I sometime faced the problem that it did not work though. Gerhard

konqueror: "Block images from this site"
by Marvin Jones 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Well, I screwed up and clicked this option in error after right-clicking on an image (planning instead to click "View Image.) And, it just happened to be ONE OF MY OWN WEB SITES! sigh... Well, no problem, right? I just go into one of the menu dropdowns, select the appropriate function. and delete the web site from the list (which otherwise should be totally empty anyway.) No joy. No such dropdown --> function that gets me there. konqueror 3.5.10 trinity 3.5.13.3 In doing a web search, I believe what I want is Tools --> Manage Images ... or the somesuch. However I have _NO_ Tools --> Manage Images. My Tools dropdown contains Find file ... <<-greyed out HTML Settings Minitools Translate web page Archive web page Change browser identification I can find no way to "Manage Images" in konqueror Ok. Then I need to hack some .cfg or .rc file I suppose. Which file ... where? (Doing a recursive grep did not reveal any such file.) (Or else, my grep-fu is inadequate.) (I guess I could change my domain name ... :-) Many thanks in advance! Jonesy
