New install, one icon not working
by Curt Howland 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Good afternoon. I've recently had to reinstall my work laptop, and rather than try to make Windows work again, I was given permission to run Linux. Debian Wheezy, TDE 14. Everything installed cleanly, and works. There is only one thing I've found that is a problem, the Network Manager icon in the system tray is not full sized, it's maybe 4 pixels square. http://priss.com/20150119_Net_Manager.png That's a screen-grab of my system tray, showing the microscopic icon for Network Manager between the screen size and VLC cone. I've tried re-adding it, same size. If I run XFCE, the icon shows up just fine. Suggestions? -- The secret of happiness is freedom, and the secret of freedom is courage. - Thucydides

Preliminary-stable-builds: new platforms and new distribution
by Slávek Banko 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hi all, I have for you some informations about alternative apt source 'preliminary-stable-builds'. 1) Because the release of Jessie as a new stable series is approaching, I extended the platforms for which are packages built. Besides usual amd64, i386, armel and armhf. a) mips => 100% done b) powerpc => due to a technical problem with qemu-user are not built c) arm64 => 100% done - someone has such hardware? We are ready :) 2) On the user wish I added build for Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) on PowerPC platform (Ubuntu Ports) => 100% done. 3) Finally, preliminary packages for upcoming Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid) are available - the usual platforms amd64 and i386. And, of course, are continually updated packages :) -- Slávek

Debian installation fails: "Package libical1 is not available"
by Davide Baldini 16 Jan '15

Hello, for specific and motivated reasons, my Debian installation is composed of packages spread across the following repositories listed in my sources.list: > deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie main > deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian wheezy main > > # kde3 for ubuntu/squeeze (being replaced by Trinity, right now) > #deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu/ karmic main > > # trinity > deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian jessie main > deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.… jessie main > > ## displaylink xorg driver > deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main universe After I issue # apt-get update # apt-get install tde-trinity I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: tde-trinity : Depends: tdeaddons-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed Depends: tdepim-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Going down the dependency chain, I find: # apt-get install tde-trinity tdeaddons-trinity kaddressbook-plugins-trinity kaddressbook-trinity libical1 Package libical1 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [...] However the following packages replace it: libical1a Is this a bug or a problem with my setup? What should be done? -- Davide

R14 Kpilot and KOrganizer Reminder Daemon Problems.
by Will Hill 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi, I'm new here but have been enjoying TDE for about a year. I like it so much that I keep a blog of it, http://50.80.140.55/photo_album/chron/desktop/trinity16.html The KPilotDaemon in R14 of TDE no longer works for me. I'm using i386 Wheezy. The daemon goes into some kind of CPU consuming loop and I'm unable to sync my Handsrping Visor. This was working in the previous release of TDE and that made me very happy. I'd like to track down the problem myself but was unable to build the Kpilot package from the Wheezy source package. I tried to do it the Debian way as found, https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial it looks like the location directories don't take, willhill@homefree:~/src/kpilot-trinity-14.0.0-r142$ fakeroot debian/rules binary test -x debian/rules dh_testroot dh_clean -k dh_clean: dh_clean -k is deprecated; use dh_prep instead dh_installdirs -A install: cannot change permissions of `debian/kpilot-trinity': No such file or directory dh_installdirs: install -d debian/kpilot-trinity returned exit code 1 make: *** [common-install-prehook-impl] Error 2 I found the instructions for TDE cmake, https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial but it looks like that's what the Debian package tries to do. Is there some instruction that I'm overlooking? Separately, the KOrganizer reminder daemon no longer notifies me at the time I'd like it to remind me of things. It goes off much later, perhaps on resume from sleep. The combination of problems is annoying.

desktop crashing
by dep 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

sorry to be such a bother, but as long as i'm bringing things up, here's one that has been an issue for a couple of years and survived into R14. my desktop crashes, but in such a way as to not even be noticeable at first. i have in lieu of wallpaper xplanet set up as a realtime moon phase indicator, updating hourly. the way i tell the desktop has crashed is that it doesn't update -- in this case it last refreshed at 10:30 a.m. yesterday. i believe that i was probably editing pictures at that time, though would not swear to it. after it crashes, a right click on the desktop does not produce the expected menu. as it happens, kicker and everything else continues to function as expected -- in fact, it was just now that i noticed that the desktop itself had gone south. i thought i'd look in the x error log, bit i see that the one i have, ~/.xsession-errors, is of an unspecified file type and won't open in a text editor (it reports its size as 500.0 k). any idea if there's a log that might let me see what's going on here and if so what log it might be? bonus points, how i might restart the desktop without logging out and back in? extra bonus points, how i might fix it so it doesn't do this anymore? i'm running some flavor of ubuntu 12.04LTS -- i say some flavor because when i sought to upgrade a few days ago the ubuntu upgrader refused, citing third-party apps or a beta version of the opsys, or something; it didn't specify. i thought i had bog standard 12.04LTS on the machine but am apparently wrong. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

KDM forbid multiple sessions per user
by Nobody is Perfekt 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi, How is it possible to configure TDM / TDE so that it does allow any user to have more than one session? TDM/Trinity after update to R14, will actually start a second session but the first goes looked.

video weirdness under R14
by dep 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

this is new. just went to print a DVD label with the lacie lightscribe software, which has always worked heretofore, though this was the first time i've used it since upgrading to R14. clicking the buttons is problematic -- because the buttons can't be seen; the whole thing is black per the attached window shot. ideas as to a fix? the application offers no controls for coloration, and it worked fine on the last release version of TDE. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Problem with xserver-xorg-video-qxl and R14 with jessie
by rolf 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hi, I installed in a qemu-kvm a minimal wheezy:amd64 (whith absolutly no additional package), dist-upgrade to jessie:amd64 and the following packages (without any suggests): xserver-xorg-video-qxl xserver-xorg-video-vmware spice-vdagent dbus psmisc bzip2 unzip locales file ca-certificates pmount xorg tdebase-trinity desktop-base-trinity twin-trinity tdm-trinity tde-i18n-de-trinity knotes-trinity kcalc-trinity xterm After a reboot everything went fine, but after logout as normal user, qemu-kvm dies with the message "5416 Speicherzugriffsfehler" The VM is started with the additional options -soundhw ac97 -vga qxl -device virtio-serial-pci \ -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0\ -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent \ -spice port=${SPICEPORT},addr=${HOST},disable-ticketing I can not decide, if it is a problem of the qxl-videoserver (optimized for the spice-protocol) or something inside of Trinity. Fine regards Rolf
