Trinity R14 & openSUSE 13.2-x86_64 cannot install - avahi dependency
by Larry Stotler 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I added the trinity r14 repos for 13.2 (x84_64 & noarch) but when I try to install I get the following: Problem: trinity-desktop-14.0.0-1.oss132.opt.noarch requires trinity-tdebase >= 14.0.0, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: trinity-tdebase-14.0.0-1.oss132.opt.x84_64[x86_64] When I look in Software Management under YaST I find that tdebase requires tdelibs and tdelibs requires avahi. I don't use avahi and don't install it like I dont install apparmour, pulseaudio, gimp, nepomuk, etc Is there a way to remove this as a dependency? One of the issues I've had with linux distros for the 17 years I've used it is the unneccessary dependecies that pull in unneeded or unwanted sotware. Thanx for improving KDE 3.5.x. I still can't stand what they did with KDE4.

Trinity mirrors?
by Thierry de Coulon 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hello all, This week end I again tried some install (trying to build a "video editing machine" around KdenLive and LightWorks - faily impressed by the later) and could not install Trinity (404 on one of the main repositories). This made me think we need mirrors. While I can imagine not many could mirror everything, maybe some could mirror TDE at least for one distribution. What are the requirements (here I mean disk space)? Of course the next question is traffic but this I would have to look were I am hosted. Have a nice day, Thierry

Fault in font in message body in KMail
by Lisi Reisz 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

KMail on TDE 3.5.13.2 on Wheezy, all fully updated. Because my husband had an eye operation today I wanted to enlarge everything in KMail for him. I cannot enlarge the text in the message body. After about ten tries the font changed from serif to sans-serif, but that is all. When I change the message body setting, the headers change, be they long or short - but he doesn't want to read those. The text of the email remains stubbornly tiny. The date in the message list also fails to change font. The rest changes! I have tried to have everything fully updated, but am getting: <normal updating> Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net wheezy Release.gpg Could not connect to ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net:80 (108.166.152.51), connection timed out Fetched 935 kB in 2min 0s (7,762 B/s) W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu/dists/w…: Could not connect to ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net:80 (108.166.152.51), connection timed out W: Some index files failed to download.

The poor man can't read at the moment - and he now can't easily keep up with his email either! The eye problem is only temporary, so I would like to solve this fast! I wondered about just reinstalling KMail, but don't want to mess up his mail. Lisi

[Trinity-on-NixOS] Annoucing my project: packaging Trinity Desktop Environment to Nixpkgs
by Anderson Torres 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello, Nixers and Trinity users! I am Anderson Torres, a "wannabe" Computer Scientist (I am studying to admissional exams for a Brazilian CS undergrad course), and there is about one year I am a NixOS user. I want to port/package Trinity for NixOS, because I really liked the old KDE3.x series! I used KDE 3.x when I started using Linux Slackware and open source in 2004. Well, I will use the tag [Trinity-on-NixOS] when I need to talk about my project of porting an ask some questions. Well, many thanks in advance!

PCLinuxOS Trinity Live CD
by Lisi Reisz 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Alexandre, As you know, disagreements we may have had, but I have always tried to give credit where credit was due. At my local Linux Users Group meeting on Saturday, someone was wanting help to get Linux on his oldish laptop. Well, his father's. A refugee from XP. He had tried various versions/flavours of Ubuntu without success - they just wouldn't install. He expressed a definite preference for somehow getting Ubuntu on. And I had an Ubuntu + TDE Live CD with me. So, TDE to the fore. I rushed to supply a Live/Install CD before anyone else. I fished out my Ubuntu + 14 and your PCLinuxOS + 14 with a view to giving him both to try. Exegnu was out because of multimedia etc. But Ubuntu was 64 bit. So that left yours. I said that I understood it had been expressly intended for older machines, so I thought that there was a high chance that it would both install OK and then run properly. I handed it to him, but said sorry, it isn't Ubuntu. My Ubuntu + TDE live CD is 64 bit and I assume that you need 32 bit. He confirmed this, and took the PCLinuxOS CD. Someone else was still looking for possible Ubuntu CDs or other offerings, but somewhat idly he started to install your CD, expecting it to fail as everything else had, by when he would have other offerings to try. It installed. No problem. One minor glitch. He accidentally installed the wrong keyboard - goodness only knows what it was! - and had to start again. No other problems. It Just Worked. By half way through he was saying that nothing else had got that far. I think he'll change the background - he shares my taste in pictures rather than yours - but we agreed that that was a very minor detail. He was delighted. A very satisfied customer. So, hopefully, a convert for TDE; and also for PCLinuxOS! Kudos, Alexandre. Vive le Qébec libre or something. \o/ Lisi

Translate TDE?
by Michael . 25 Jan '15

25 Jan '15

OK I've now got more time on my hands (university is nearly finished for about a month) and I want to catch up on things such as translating. I asked ages ago about how I get to translate TDE into en_AU (Australian English) but never did find out (I'm assuming because R14 was under heavy development) so I'm asking again and if at all possible would love to get into it sometime next week. So if anyone has advice or knows what I need to do feel free to let me know what I personally need to do to be able to start translating TDE into en_AU (and maybe encourage my friends across the Tasman to do likewise for en_NZ and maybe even Maori). Cheers. Michael.

Some progress on FreeBSD 10.1
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi all! At last I found some time to try compiling TDE on FreeBSD - and I have a question, too :-) First of all, I manged to compile tqt3 using gcc47 and as fas as I can tell all provided testprograms (example/ and tutorial/) are working as expected, just "examples/thread" ends up non-responsive. I have not tried gcc48. What I did not get right: * I failed to set the correct compiler, so I had to add a symlink from g++47 -> g++ and gcc47 -> gcc * I had to add "-thread" to configure, otherwise the build fails (debian: both "-thread" and "-no-thread" builds succeed) * I had to add "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<...>/tqt3/lib", otherwise the build fails because "tquic" misses it's libriaries. * some build options like OpenGL support etc. So my questions are: * Is there a way to set the compiler gp "g++47" and "gcc47" ? * What are the build options for the current debian build? "configure" gives me this list: Build type: freebsd-g++ Configuration ....... nocrosscompiler minimal-config small-config medium-config large-config full-config styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace inputmethod network canvas table xml sql release dll thread largefile stl system-mng system-jpeg system-png png no-glibmainloop gif zlib bigcodecs x11sm xshape xkb inputmethod STL support ......... yes PCH support ......... no IPv6 support ........ no Thread support ...... yes NIS support ......... no CUPS support ........ no Large File support .. partial GIF support ......... yes MNG support ......... plugin (system) JPEG support ........ plugin (system) PNG support ......... yes (system) Glib main loop support ......... no zlib support ........ yes OpenGL support ...... no NAS sound support ... no Session management .. yes XShape support ...... yes Xinerama support .... no Tablet support ...... no Xcursor support ..... no XRandR support ...... no XRender support ..... no Xft support ......... no XKB Support ......... yes immodule support .... yes immodule ext support no Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

kpdf problems
by Dan Youngquist 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

I've been having a couple problems with kpdf. Both have been going on for some time now; I don't remember exactly when they started, but it could've been when I switched from 13.2 to R14 several months ago. This is on Debian 7. 1. Occasionally it will refuse to render a single page of a multipage PDF (or maybe a couple pages of a very long document), when other viewers render all pages just fine. It's the same pages every time, and there's nothing different about them that I can see -- just a random page in the middle of a document. If I burst the PDF into individual files for each page, it still refuses to render that same page. 2. It "forgets" a page as soon as it's no longer displayed, and has to re-render it to display it again. It's as though Memory Usage is set to Low instead of Normal or Aggressive, but the setting makes no difference. This is very inconvenient in cases where it takes more than a fraction of a second to render a page, which is the case with most of the PDFs I use. 3. One more that's not a new problem, just the way kpdf has always been: It's extremely slow -- something like 3x slower than Adobe Reader, and at least 50% slower than Evince. I'd have switched to one of those long ago, but there are several features of kpdf that I really like. Is there any chance of getting these things fixed? Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

New install, one icon not working
by Curt Howland 20 Jan '15

20 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
