Trinity SSL Certificates
by Timothy Pearson 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 As some of you may already be aware, StartCom (a major provider of SSL certificates) has repeatedly and intentionally violated the basic rules to be listed as a root CA in most browsers [1] [2]. Unfortunately, TDE used StartCom as its root CA provider in an attempt to lower overall costs; as a result, the main TDE pages, QuickBuild, and other related services will no longer be accessible to the majority of Web clients. We do not have the funds to replace the certificate with a costlier option at this time. LetsEncrypt does not appear to be secure enough as it effectively requires automated certificate installation on the master servers, and furthermore I expect it to be removed from as a fully trusted root CA or at least demoted in some way in the future [3]. Due to the industry-standard security in use, we cannot simply disable HTTPS without disabling access to all TDE sites previously using HTTPS. Furthermore, disabling HTTPS would open TDE users adn visitors to malicious MITM attack, and I am not willing to do this. Our only options come down to either accepting the heavy loss in visitors / traffic that will come from using a self-signed certificate, or attempting to raise the funds required to purchase a new certificate. It should only cost around $200 to obtain a new multi-year certificate covering TDE, so if you can please contribute something toward this goal via our donations page [4]. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience; it is not common for a CA to be delisted and the impact from this has been felt across many sites. Unfortunately, it will only continue to worsen as Chrome (with its 75% market share) is updated by end users over the next few days / weeks. Thank you!

TDE NetworkManager frontend not working. Got "unable to perform requested operation". ConsoleKit (rly needed?) and PolicyKit are installed.
by Richard Lamboj 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Hello, i can not use the tde network-manager frontend. A Message-Box pops up and says: Unable to save network connection! Potential causes: * Insufficient permissions * NetworkManager not running * DBUS failure Beside that i think the Assistent should not be closed. Both - ConsoleKit and PolicyKit - are installed. And i'm using OpenRC, not systemd on Debian Jessie, with backports enabled. Kind Regards, Richard

r14-xdg-update
by Leslie Turriff 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Last week when I started my newest machine (x86_64 intel, OpenSuSE Leap 42.2), when logging in I got a notification box that said, The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least once. The script is not successfully updating. The script will run with each login until corrected. Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action to correct the problem. The error code is 9. When I continued on, all of my Trinity desktop settings were gone. Rebooting does not help, nor did reinstalling the OS and Trinity. I have no idea what "appropriate administrative action" might be, nor what error code 9 means. Help! Leslie

multiple monitors
by Gene Kodadek 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Can somebody give me a guide to getting a multi-monitor setup working using the native tools? I'm on Debian Jessie if that makes a difference. I had it working on a PCLInux OS install but can't remember how I did it.

digikam crash
by Istvan Gabor 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hello: Digikam crashes when in image editor I right click the images or try to select area. This occurs in openSUSE 13.2 Trinty TDE R14.0.4 64 bit. Digikam is trinity-digikam-0.9.6-14.0.4_1.oss132.x86_64. It does not occur with all images, only if the resolutions or file size is over a limit, though I don't know the limit. It occurs with jpg file 3264x2448 resolution ~1.8 MB, but it doesn't occur if I downsize this image to 1500x1125 ~500 KB. Does anyone have this problem? Could it be fixed? Thanks, Istvan

I am new to HDMI (I actually don't use it anwhere as I have no monitor with such a connector). So I can't test what would happen if I had a direct connection to the monitor. I could imagine that the chain HDMI - HDMI to VGA (cheap chinese thing, by the way) - KVM switch - monitor is too much for a system that desperately tries to identify the monitor by itself. In the old time I would have been asked what my screen was... Thierry

Application resolution vs desktop resolution
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Actually I don't think this is a Trinity problem, because reverting to lightdm shows no change, but I post this in hope someone can give me a clue: I have setup a machine based on an Intel based SBC (UP board with a "cherry trail" processor. It runs openSUSE Leap and Trinity. I initially had lots of screen corruption but this I solved by setting the graphics to "xua". My problem is this: while I have the screen resolution setup to 1920x1080 (and trinity desktop looks OK for this resolution), the monitor (which is accessed from HDMI through an HDMI to VGA converter because I use a KVM that needs VGA connectors) was initially "seen" as 1024x768. And the applications seem to retain that resolution. I could make things better in kmail (which is the main application for this machine) by reducing the font size. The other applications still look "too big". So I get the feeling that the lower resolution was saved somewhere... Is there a place where I can tell them to use 1920x768? Have good day, Thierry

kooldock
by Gene Kodadek 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

I just installed Trinity to my Debian Stable machine. Looks good, but I can't figure out how to enable the kooldock. Also, none of the old KDE 3.x wallpapers are available from the desktop settings menu; is that an extra package I need to install? Thanks!
