I did edit the config file and this time all went well. I now have R14 on PCLinuxOS! (Just in case Alexandre decides not to go with R14. :-) No email or other yet on that partition, but I'll set that up soon. Many thanks, Andy

It seems to me that it follows the path at least as far as the package list but then does not go far enough to find the packages. Maybe. I'll look into it some more. Andy

Konqueror Web Archives
by Dave Lers 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

In the KDE3 Konqueror Tools menu there was an Archive Web Page tool (that creates a .war containing the html, images, etc.). It's referenced in the related TDE package description, but it's not in my TDE Koqueror Tools menu. Is there something I need to do to enable it? On a somewhat related topic (Konqueror and archives), .zip files in Konqueror have a right click Compress menu instead of an Extract menu.

ImageMagick `display` problem
by Joesy 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

I am bringing up 2 brand spanking new desktops PCs with Ubuntu 14.04.2 and TDE 14.0.0 -- using the live CD from the Trinity web site. jonesy@nix6: $ display /opt/trinity/share/apps/amarok/images/amarok_rocks.jpg display.im6: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. jonesy@nix6: $ A web search on "display.im6: color is not known to server" pulls up _only_ two references to the error message, and one of them is : From: Paul Cartwright <pbcartwright@...> Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:54:28 -0500 Subject: Imagemagick error ...at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5517 (!!!) which describes _my_ problem exactly. That was 1 1/2 years ago. Only I do not see that he ever got a reply, nor do I see any fix or work-around for the problem. If I shorten up the search for just "color is not known to server", I see a lot more hits for what seems to be the same problem. But, still, I see no fixes or work-arounds (yet). I use `display` A LOT in desktop objects and I really need this fixed or circumvented. I can't believe I'm the only one in the Trinity group to have this problem.

Kmails clock is off 2 hours since edst took effect
by Gene Heskett 15 Mar '15

15 Mar '15

Greetings all; This is the clock shown in the upper right corner of the message window. I have never had kmail display a clock before until installing TDE R14. Or is it? It was showing 0.08 when I sat down a minute ago, but the system time for the rest of the clocks was 2:08. But I just pulled this composer window down so I could see it again, and now its correct. Both are now showing 2:12 Was I seeing things? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: [trinity-users] TDE icon changes also effect xfce icons...

When I rename them to the format I want - 'Firefox 24.0' or 'Sigil 0.72' - and then log out and switch over to xfce my Firefox icon (for instance) is now called 'Firefox 24.0.desktop' and the icon has also changed. This .desktop icon is unlaunchable and uneditable. The only thing to do is delete it and re-create the Firefox launcher - I just run into the menu and right-click|add to desktop, then correct it to what I want. 'Preventing' a user from having to create completely separate desktop shortcuts is 1984 double-speak. The whole idea of having multiple DE's is to HAVE separate shortcuts so each desktop can be unique. Being 'prevented' from doing so runs counter to the linux philosophy imho. Might as well be using Windoze or that other OS named after a pome fruit(!) I hope I'm not the only one very annopyed by this little taste of big-brother telling me how to behave, when I'm perfectly capable of making up my mind on my own. Any advice people out there can provide to correct this new 'feature' will be gratefully received. >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- >Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) > >iFYEARELAAYFAlUF0ssACgkQLaxZSoRZrGHkoADgsY3DbFwxDwcWbQ6OYFqjIlmO >F+B6vUX1GDRF+ADfdRw7ypeoLloVqmUDxel4WRQ3j0V/IZGNR7SkNQ== >=SXGe >-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net >For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net >Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ >Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting > > -- pargoo(a)netspace.net.au My Anthropomorphic Science Fiction: http://pargoo.customer.netspace.net.au/sciencefiction.html On the Commonwealth�s frontier, hundreds of light-years from Earth, war is brewing between humanity and the Golden Empire of the Arukai.

TDE icon changes also effect xfce icons...

systemtrayapplet.desktop and that annoying little '*'
by Philip Ashmore 14 Mar '15

14 Mar '15

Hi there. Thanks to the previous post re "Icons on task bar" I took a look at .trinity/share/apps/kickerrc, one more time to track down the source of that annoying little '*'. It's in the system tray, but I can't find the systemtrayapplet.desktop file to examine what app it belongs to, so I can remove it. It's the little orange circle between the calender icon and the network icon. Any hints? Philip Ashmore
