Upgrading from KDE3 to R14
by Jan Stolarek 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

Hi all, I have an old machine that still runs KDE 3. I plan to install Debian 8 with Trinity R14. Does R14 support settings migration from KDE3? Or will all the settings be lost?

Odd error this evening
by Gene Heskett 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

Greetings all; As those of you the the USA know, Southern WV took a beating from the weather last night and today. Heavy rains, high winds combined to kill the power for about 25% of the states population, and threaten to drown quite a few. My own automatic 20 kw nat gas standby ran from about 3:20 Thursday morning until a final restart shortly after 18:00 local. So I am busy catching up on my email, when apparently my ups did not properly restart after one of the inevitable short term power up's when the line crews are closing circuits to see if they fault again because there yet another down tree laying on the lines a half mile around the corner. So I'm typing away on a message reply when the screen goes black, the ups has a low battery and kills the load. Restarting the ups was a matter of holding down the power button for 3 or 4 seconds, followed by a trip to the tower to tap its power switch. Everything solved as soon as its booted, right? Wrong... No /usr/bin/X to be found. I had to totally apt-get install --re-install all of the Xorg-server stuff, 35 or 40 packages, to get the missing /usr/bin/X. That may not have been the only package that was nuked by the untimely powerdown but I've no way to verify that. But why should a powerdown as unceremonious as pulling the plug, have deleted /usr/bin/X? It doesn't grok at this site. Clues? Thanks.

Emacs and Window Foreground
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi I just compiled Emacs for Kubuntu 14..04 running trinity, while emacs runs without problems in KDE4 it fails for trinity the error message is: undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" I swore I have seen this error before, and it was caused by some trinity package, deinstallation solved the problem, but I don't recall which one it was. Anybody has an idea? trinity without Emacs sucks thanks Uwe Brauer

install -f and where is the KControl center Mac X clone, in version 14
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi I it seems that a bold sudo apt-get install -f Solved most (but maybe not all problems with my trinity installation). Be it as it may, when I logged in to Trinity, almost everything felt similar, save one (for me) very important thing. In earlier Kubuntu (for example 10.04) and earlier trinity versions (TDE v3.5.13.2) there were *two* control center, - the ugly vanilla kde control center - and a I presume a Kubuntu specific Mac OSX clone. I attach a screenshot. Now in Kubuntu 14.04+ Trinity R14.0.3 I cannot find the MacOSX clone anymore. Where is it? Was it deleted, taken out? For me it was one of the reasons to stay with Trinity, to have both a familiar environment which does not need to much resources but which is comfortable enough when it come to configuration, the KDE vanilla control center is much worse in this respect. Thanks and regards Uwe Brauer

Another hibernate issue
by deloptes 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi all, there was/is a discussion about powersave features and options. I do not use it that often, but this week going to work with the train I decided to try it out and hibernated the notebook. It is Dell 5440. After power on all worked fine and it came up from hibernation. When the lock screen asked for password and I pressed some key it went again into hibernation state. The second time I powered on, I was able to unlock he screen and go on with my work. This was reproducable - I tried it twice the same behavior. How can this be debugged? regards

Auto fill - browser fields
by Jonesy 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Sometime long ago my konqueror stopped suggesting choices for filling in userid fields in web page login forms. I've poked around a lot, but cannot see how to (re)activate that. On the same topic: Is there a way to delete an inappropriate auto fill item? And, being greedy, does anyone know the same answers to these questions vis-a-vis Firefox and Chrome? Many thanks in advance! Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | Marvin | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | FreeBSD __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | OS/2 SK

new kaffeine plugin for firefox's
by Gene Heskett 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Greetings all; I can see that its installed and should be calling kaffeine to service a quite wide range of video formats. Unfortunately, while kaffeine is installed and runs for other digital than tv broadcast, neither firefox is actually calling it. So while I can see videos, some on cnn, and some on nbc news in firefox's postcard sized video, nothing that I have been able to add, will call up kaffeine to play a youtube video. If I launch a copy and have it running, it seems to me that firefox should pass the data stream to the running copy of kaffeine. But its not happening, no reaction from kaffeine can be obtained from either version of firefox. So I installed the gxine launcher plugin. Looks like an identical list of acceptable video formats to that of kaffeine. Is there an about:config option to be set so this works? What else do I need to check? Thanks.

Non-trivial switching
by J. Drahun 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi all! I've found solution how to switch layouts with Ctrl+Shift. To be honest, it was sad to found that old "feature", requiring something more than click three checkboxes in the "Xkb Options" still exists. Why can't I set Ctrl+Shift in the TDE Control Center as a shortcut? (Ctrl+Shift shortcut is interpreted as Ctrl + ISO_Next_Group) Why it is necessary to edit config files? I hope someday this behaviour will be fixed. Best wishes, J. Drahun.
