how to set environment variable?
by D. R. Evans 10 Nov '24

10 Nov '24

I'm sure this is easy, but I haven't been able to find the right place to do it :-( How do I set the value of an environment variable so that when I run a program from the main T menu, the program will automatically get the correct value of the variable? I looked at Trinity Control Centre (which is where I expected to find something labelled "Environment Variables", or something similar) but I don't see anything like that there.

Here's another instance of a distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed) that's having trouble with DBus startup.

DBus Issues
by Daniel Wilkins 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hi y'all, I'm running 14.1.2 (with some 14.1.3, some of the slackbuilds are broken,) on Slackware 15 and I've noticed an issue with flatpak apps. They were unable to access the keystore for me and after some debugging I found that in TDE the environment variables for dbus (DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and PID) aren't set, where in environments which have working flatpak apps they are. Sure enough, dbus-launch [flatpak app] lets them launch successfully. I've found a couple of other weird bits which I think may be dbus related too. I've tried adding an "eval $(dbus-launch)" to my ~/.xprofile per what happens in starttde, I also tried adding it manually into the starttde script right around where tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol is invoked but I don't have the vars set in my actual session in either case. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks, Danny

openSUSE Leap 16.0
by Gianluca Interlandi 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Dear TDE users, This may be off topic. It looks like the successor to Leap 15.6 will be Leap 16.0: https://get.opensuse.org/leap/16.0/ and it will be based on the Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP): https://en.opensuse.org/Features_16.0 The website states that Leap 16.0 will have a non-immutable version, although ALP does contain a "minimal, immutable operating system". I just wonder whether ALP will still be based on RPM. It may be too early to worry about it as Leap 16.0 will not be available until at least fall 2025.

TDM not starting on Debian
by paperella＠duck.com 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hey there, just completed a fresh installation of Debian via netinstall with no other DE and added Trinity following the instructions on the wiki. Everything works - thank you for your efforts! - but I can't seem to start TDM. I have the package tdm-trinity installed, and using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity, I can select it. Just to double check, the outcome of cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager is /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, so it's definitely there. Yet, when I power on the laptop, I am greeted by no DM at all. I have installed lightdm to see if that would give problems as well, but it works just fine, so I'm not sure what the problem with TDM could be. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you folks! :D

Touchpad app in control center
by Greg Madden 03 Nov '24

03 Nov '24

I have a Lenovo Legion laptop, running Debian stable and latest TDE stable. This a new install, been using Devuan & TDE. Systemd is needed by my VPN. The issue is my touchpad settings have changed. The cursor speed was to fast and the pressure sensing is to light. I just discovered the touch pad app in Control Center, very nice. Control Center touch pad configures the cursor speed, cool. My main need/request is a pressure sensitive adjustment. I have tried in the past on this laptop to make this adjustment, failed. Almost unusable with my numb fingers, would revert back to previous behavior if needed. thanks

Hi, after 2,5 years Plasma I am back to TDE. I use archlinux (no BTW). https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity Packages: https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/archlinux/x86_64/ I have installed tde-tdebase. What packages are needed for video and pdf thumbnails? My installed packages: $ pacman -Q | grep "tde" mtdev 1.1.7-1 tde-amarok 14.1.2-1 tde-arts 14.1.2-1 tde-avahi-tqt 14.1.2-1 tde-dbus-1-tqt 14.1.2-1 tde-krename 14.1.2-1 tde-libart-lgpl 14.1.2-1 tde-tdebase 14.1.2-1 tde-tdegames 14.1.2-1 tde-tdelibs 14.1.2-1 tde-tqt3 14.1.2-1 tde-tqtinterface 14.1.2-1 Thank you very much.

Nano for Donations
by mike＠m1k3s.com 26 Oct '24

26 Oct '24

I guess this is mainly for Slávek and Michele, but would you consider adding Nano (nano.org) as a donation option on the TDE site? I'd much prefer to use that over Bitcoin as it's more energy efficient, instant, and has no fees. I've used it for years without issue. I personally use and prefer https://nault.cc as a non-custodial wallet but there are others to choose from. https://blocklattice.io is a good block explorer if you're interested in seeing transactions. Thanks, Mike

Kaffeine fails to load XineParts
by J Leslie Turriff 24 Oct '24

24 Oct '24

I finally got sound working after upgrading to openSUSE Leap 15.6 (Yay), but when I start Kaffeine to listen to some music, it says it can't load XineParts (unYay). I've attached the message that Kaffeine displays. It's not too helpful. In openSUSE Leap 15.6, sound is now controlled by PipeWire instead of PulseAudio. Could this have anything to do with my issue?
