kabc/tdeabc
by Thierry de Coulon 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Sorry to start another thread - deleted the previous one. I had an installation that I upgraded to R14. I can confirm that not only the kabc folder is neither copied nor renames to tdeabc, but actually tdeabc does not exist at all until one first starts kmail (maybe one must even start the address book). Once I got the empty address book, copying the content of kabc did the trick. Regards, Thierry

folks, I just noticed I'm up to r14.0.1 [development] on one of my laptops; what is the best way to downgrade to r14.0.0? F. -- Felmon Davis The way out is never as easy as the way in.

removing games and other cruff.
by Felmon Davis 28 Dec '14

greets! I just did a dist-upgrade (to R14 Jessie; exegnu) somewhat incorrectly, it made a lot of changes I hadn't intended but that's user error for the most part. one error was not filtering out stuff I consider junk, for instance 'games'. I thought I'd try purging them the so-called easy way using kpackage but when I get set to remove kdegames-trinity, it _looks_ like tde-trinity will go along it. I know this has to do with 'meta-packages' but I don't understand the implications. one gets the same result from apt-get. I'm happy, happier in fact, to do all of this using apt-get (or aptitude). I'd love a magical incantation or rather guidance on how to formulate one to remove this junk: games edutainment education science f. -- Felmon Davis Every silver lining has a cloud.

Lost my sound
by Andrew Young 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

Hello Using Ubuntu 14.04 and TDE 14. Yesterday after running sudo apt-get autoremove I was suddenly presented with an option to close or disable an X server (I think). I assumed it had something to do with a tty, at least not the desktop so I said yes. After selecting yes, the desktop disappeared and I was presented with tty1. I logged in and started the desktop with startx. At least I had a working Trinity desktop! However the volume control has a small red circle with a white cross partially covering it, hovering the mouse pointer over it causes a pop up to appear "Mixer cannot be found". As you can see from the log below I tried installing and reinstalling Alsa and Pulseaudio, even Arts, but still the sound didn't work. On IRC Slavek suggested "sudo aptitude install tdebase-trinity --without-recommends", after installing aptitude, it installed a few packages, but after a restart still no sound. However "sudo startx" did have sound! Eventually I gave up and reinstalled Ubuntu/Trinity. Next time what should I do to restore sound?

Sharing printers
by multi 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hi, I have just installed exe linux with the Trinity desktop (exe is basically debian 7) and I am trying to share a local USB printer (HP Deskjet 1000). I checked the "Shared" box in CUPS but it still can't be found by other networked computers. I installed system-config-printer and it opened showing that the printer is shared. Any ideas? Also, I was going to include the version of Trinity in the first line, but I don't know how to find that. I usually open synaptic to find what versions are installed, but it's not listed under the name Trinity. Thanks, Don

sorting entries in kmenu
by dep 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

this has always been an issue for me, and it occurs to me that maybe there's an easy solution that i've just never happened upon. in kmenu i have numerous applications in menus and submenus, many of which i use only occasionally. it would be great if there were a way to have the submenus list them in alphabetical order and indeed some setting that keeps it that way as new applications are added. is there such a setting, someplace? thanks. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Hi, I need some help when mount an usb device. Konquerer say "Unable to mount this device ... Technical detail: No supported mounting methods were detected on your system" The stick has as sdb5 a vfat file system and it should be mounted with umask=000 so the users can work with. Is it possible to configure Trinity to do so. System: Debian wheezy Many thanks for any suggestions. Rolf

Possible problems with mime-libs and LibreOffice
by rolf 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

Hi, after update a Debian Squeeze (LTS) to R14, I get an error when try to open a file from within LibreOffice. I get the error-message: "Wrong mime type" and the question, if the mime library is installed. With TDE-3.13.2 I never get this message. The tde-mime-type libs are installed. Can some one confirm? Many thanks and best christmas greetings from Germany Rolf
