Shortcuts and others difficulties
by Patrick Serru 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Hi All, Back on that list after 2 years. I installed Trinity from Slavec (?) live CD. It is ok. Thanks a lot to the nice job the team as done. I just mentionned some prolems. Shortcut (boring, but for memory because of all the bug reports) : - the shortcut "Ctrl" "S" as two meaning in TDE Kate: classical "save" and "search". In the french version of a lot of sofware, the "F" is used instead of the "S" for search, as in "Find". It's looks a little bit more positive (-: and is so in other worlds (windows-fr, KDE3-fr, etc) - "Ctrl" "A" is "select all" in France (and US too ?). Living in Peru, I had the occasion to see that "select all" is "Ctrl" "E" for localised MS Windows. This a general standard problem, because editing a single line, like the name of a file in an "Open file" dialog, this shortcut permits to sélect all the characters of that line. - "Alt" F4" is usually the shortcut to close the active window (MS Windows, KDE3...). There is no such shortcut in latest version of TDE. KMail (not a big problem, but well strange) : I specified to the system that my keyboard was spanish, but nothing else related to that language, excepted the fact that local time is Lima's. In this version of TDE, the day of the week in the mail "header" is indicated in spanish like "Sáb" for saturday, "Mie" for wednesday, instead of [Lun, Mar, Mer, Jeu, Ven, Sam, Dim] in fr. Applications : This is more related to Ubuntu, I think; I did not succed to install and run Skype, Chrome or Chromium. I come from years (15 ?) spent with Süse - OpenSUSE (last is/was Oss 12.2 + KDE3.5) so, I am a bit lost in Ubuntu. I would like to install all the TDE application, for avaluation. I suppose that I should enter a "apt" command to do that all in one, but which one, please. In the first liveCD of Slavec, there was more tool to help administration of packages, or ? Finaly, the main question is: is there a local solution for solving these mshortcut problems, that are the most boring ? I am using TDE version R14.0.0 [DEVELOPMENT] (upgraded yesterday). Thanks for the attention you paid to this mail, Sincerly, Patrick

TDE starts on vt8 after power outage
by midi-pascal 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

When reading the thread "Lockups after unlocking screensaver", it reminds me an unanswered question I had months ago. I use Trinity 3.13.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. As far as I can recall (years), my TDE session started on vt7 (Ctrl-Alt-F7). After a power outage, I restarted my box and ever since TDE starts on vt8 (Ctrl-Alt-F8). Everything works well but I would like to understand the reason of this vt switch. I searched the web for an answer with no success. Does someone on this list has an answer? Nothing harmful, no bug, but curiosity... is on mars now :-) midi-pascal

xine finds no audio drivers
by Robert Peters 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Hi, I'm running an install from exegnu-jessv-20141125 on a recent ThinkPad. Amarok when starting complains: xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers. Haven't found anything satisfactory in searching, but the problem goes back at least to KDE3. BTW, VCL works okay, after I select the mixer. Maybe it uses different drivers. Robert

TDEPowersave doesn't report running on battery
by Dan Youngquist 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

TDEPowersave always reports running on AC power, even when running on the battery, and doesn't give the low battery warnings. This started when I upgraded to R14; it worked fine in 13.2. It's a big problem because, when runing on battery, the machine just dies with no warning when the battery is dead. This is on an HP laptop running Debian 7 (Wheezy) and R14 from Slavek's repo, updated this morning. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Both show on the left the "create link" dialog (Create New -> Link to Device -> nfs). It shows five tabs, the middle one being "Device". On the right you see the properties of an existing "Link to Device". On the desktop of 3.5.13.2 you have the middle tab. On the desktop of 3.5.14.0.0 it does not show. The Link does not get the correct icon and it does not work either (although mount <mount point> works, so the nfs mount does work). I also compared the Desktop Files, they are identical, so the problem is deeper. Thierry

Lockups after unlocking screensaver
by Mike Bird 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Since installing RC2 I have twice experienced "lockups" upon unlocking the screen. I have never experienced these before. Once "locked up" the mouse has no effect and there is almost no keyboard effect. However numlock and capslock keys still flip their indicator LEDs and ctrl-alt-Fn can be used to switch to another console. First time: as root I restarted tdm-trinity. I didn't notice if there were any error messages. When Trinity restarted it was on a new console - alt-F8 instead of alt-F7. The second time: as root I stopped tdm-trinity. I noticed error messages saying the stop had failed. I killed -9 kdesktop_lock, stopped tdm-trinity again, and started it. This time Trinity started on the expected console. I'd appreciate any suggestions of any additional steps I should take to help diagnose the problem if it happens again. --Mike

05 Dec '14

Hello all, I had installes Wheezy several time and then installes TDE, no problem, choose TDM and restart... I've just installed two laptops from the 7.7 CD and both time I had to wipe out Gnome 3 to get TDE loading. Is this a new rogue Gnome Install way? Thierry

kdeskto_lock issue
by Greg Madden 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Debian Wheezy, Amd64, Nvidia quadro card, drivers from vender, dual monitors. In my .xsession-errors files I can see numerous entries: "tdecore] Deleting stale lockfile /tmp/tde-pabiVcZK3y/kdesktop_lock_lockfile" This crashes my X session, ~ 1 minute uptime, dumps me back to the login screen, totaly unworkable. I have been working around this issue because it only happens on 2 workstations with the same hardware specs, and drivers from Nvidia. I remove '/opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock', I do not use screensaver or lock desktop, this works..until an update replaces the kdesktop_lock binary...this will stop eventually. I read bugs 2222 & 2230, re kdesktop_lock, I could run a backtrace if that would help and if someone could give directions on howto. I will file a bug with the backtrace. -- Peace, Greg
