desktop crashing
by dep 14 Jan '15

14 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. Example: On server logged as supervisor, then on thinstation too, on server goes the session locked. on .xsession-errors [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0xcff130 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x92ccc0 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x176a220 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x25b0130 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x1317e30 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x22511b0 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x1e2e000 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x155a100 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x806130 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x25d0080 [tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-supervisor/kdesktop_lock_lockfile TQThreadInstance::start: Setting thread storage to 0x1771300 Thanks,

by ant 13 Jan '15

If I try to run konqueror (or kdirstat as another example) I get the window ok, but it doesn't respond at all. kmail and konsole work fine, though. kfmclient openURL file:///etc/hostname shows the hostname, but then freezes Hitting the 'x' button I get a dialogue box with Warning - TWin Window with title "Konqueror" is not responding......

video weirdness under R14
by dep 13 Jan '15

13 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

Probably dumb questions, but what is a display manager needed (VS used) for, and what are the relative merits (lightdm VS tdm)? I don't seem to have any DM's installed. If lightdm uses less system resources, does it follow that not using a DM uses even less?

Thanks for that! Unfortunately the interesting part of the backtrace is not shown; you will need to press Return when prompted until you are dumped back at the (gdb) prompt then post the entire text block that gdb spat out. Also, on looking closer it seems that we did not build a debug symbols package for kpilot-trinity. I am fixing that right now, but testing would require you to update kpilot-trinity to the latest nightly builds and install the new kpilot-trinity-dbg package (once it builds that is!). Is this an option? > Where can I find the full build log? Just set Konsole or similar to an unlimited line history, then issue the dpkg-buildpackage command against a freshly downloaded pacakge and wait for the error. Copy everything after the dpkg-buildpackage command (including the command itself) into a new text file and attach that file to a reply message. :-) Tim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iFYEARELAAYFAlSvOLwACgkQLaxZSoRZrGGQ0ADgs0eqygTmT6cgzHiJ9Gq9huBg 7gjRf3gXxZHaFwDdHlLr7FuI/xW4QH4bZ08PhotUp2E66WW24DTndw== =JvIB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Recent outage
by Timothy Pearson 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, As you are probably already aware at around 13:20 GMT 01/07/2015 all TDE services went offline. This was due to a widespread power outage; to make matters worse the site's backup generator froze and did not start in time due to the extreme cold in the area. All services should now be restored, however as this was a full outage I expect that there may be some remaining issues that I am not yet aware of. Please let me know if you see anything still down or malfunctioning at this point. As always we need your support to stay online! If you can, please help the project stay online: https://trinitydesktop.org/donate.php Thank you for your patience!

K3B-Trinity will not install on R14
by Marc Chénier 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

I use Ubuntu Precise with the R14.0.0 TDE desktop on an amd64 system. I tried to install k3b-trinity with apt-get install and then with apt-get -f install. I have never had problems beforehand installing new packages with apt-get. The reply I get (in French) translates to something like : +++++++++ Certain packages cannot be installed... The following packages have unmet dependancies : k3b-trinity : Depend: libk3b3-trinity (= 4:14.0.0-r201-0ubuntu12.04.0+pr34) but 4:14.0.0-s-0ubuntu12.04.0+0 is to be installed Depend: k3b-data-trinity (= 4:14.0.0-r201-0ubuntu12.04.0+pr34) but 4:14.0.0-s-0ubuntu12.04.0+0 is to be installed E: Impossible to correct problems, the defective paquages are in « garder en l'état » mode. ++++++++ My understanding (am i correct?) is that k3b-trinity depends on 2 packages older than what I have on my computer (I checked). So what can i do to install k3b so that I can burn a new tde-live-disk for my "new" hand-me-down laptop? Thanks in advance. Marc
