How to configure Sysguard app in panel?
by Mike Bird 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

It's probably ten years or more since I configured the Sysguard app in one of my panels. Today I wanted to change the config. I found I could remove a display but I could only add blank displays which I could find no way to configure. It took me three hours but eventually I succeeded by restoring my ~/.trinity/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml from backup and then manually editing it WHILE TRINITY WAS NOT RUNNING. Is there a better way to configure the Sysguard app in a panel? --Mike

How dead is Trinity and is it worth contributing to?
by Riley Bell 04 Jul '24

04 Jul '24

I love TDE and want to contribute to it but is it worth it? I've been in the devels mailing list for a couple weeks now and there haven't been any new messages. There are many applications I can't find in TGW like kmilo. The Project RoadMap on the wiki has a warning of being outdated. Is there a reason certain repositories haven't had a non-translation related commit in years? It seems improvements outside the scope of bug fixes and the migration to CMake are stalled indefinitely due to issues with adding support for Qt4? Why not drop it and try for Qt5/6 instead? Can the migration to Webkit for HTML rendering be done without Qt4 support? How hard would it be to make a style plugin for Qt5/6? I currently use gtk-qt-engine-trinity with qt5-gtk2-platformtheme as a workaround but it would be nice to have reliable, native support. I don't exactly understand how TQT or the TQT Interface works so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. ------------------------------------------------- This free account was provided by VFEmail.net - report spam to abuse(a)vfemail.net ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!

crash reports
by Wossog 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

Hello, I use Trinity with Linux Artix and am actually happy with it. But there are a few small things that bother me, like the constant crash reports regarding Konqueror. I know this from earlier (KDE 3), but not from any current distribution. Since I can't do anything about it anyway, can I stop this pop-up window? Thanks, Michael

Where does REGULAR TDE's KMAIL store emails?
by CHRIS M 30 Jun '24

30 Jun '24

Hello Ya'll, I can't find where TDE KMAIL in Regular TDE stores its emails? What I mean by "Regular TDE" is: I installed Debian 12 with a minimal XFCE install, then installed TDE on top of that. In Q4OS, TDE KMAIL stored emails under "~/home/chris/.tdeconfig/share/ ".......something like that...... Thanks, Chris -- Sent with Vivaldi Mail. Download Vivaldi for free at vivaldi.com

Installing TDE
by CHRIS M 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Okay folks! I did a nuke and pave and installed DEBIAN 12, but I had to install KDE, because I couldn't figure out how to install TDE due to a certain step in the directions: I just wanted to get some clarification before I decided to install TDE: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x <your-distribution-release-name> main deps Which would be for me: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x bookworm main deps But, I don't think putting 14.1 is correct? Or does it matter? If I put 14.1 would TDE update itself from this old version to the newest version? Thanks, Chris

Issue compiling TWin decorations
by neeeeow＠protonmail.com 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Hello all, I am wanting to port over some old KDE 3 KWin themes over to TDE. To ensure that I have all of the build dependencies present, I wanted to try compiling some of the already existing TWin themes. For this, I wanted to try compiling twin-style-fahrenheit (found here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/twin-style-fahrenheit). In terms of packages, I installed trinity-tdesdk & trinity-twin-devel, so I should have everything required to compile the TWin theme. For compiling, I followed the instructions laid out in the wiki (https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Notes), however when I try to compile the decoration, cmake throws out the following error: "'twin' is required, but is not installed nor selected for build". Could someone point me in the right direction? I am running Fedora 40 as well as the newest version of TDE (R14.1.2). For what it's worth, I also fired up TDE on openSUSE in a VM, and I have the same issue. Many thanks!

How do i switch from using Konqueror as my file manager to using Krusader, or some other file manager?
by SuperRyn 24 Jun '24

I don't like opening a browser to access my files; I suspect krusader uses much less resources. How do i change my default file manager?

It does put the email into the OUTBOX for a few seconds. But at the very bottom of KMAIL you can see the progress bar moving towards to 100% and then the email is moved to the SENT folder. Where before, When you hit the send button on the composer window, the email was just saved to the OUTBOX and I had to manually hit the SEND QUEUED EMAIL BY..... button, then selecting the Fastmail account. ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!

advice needed re. a ping/log app
by dep 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

greetings, everybody. living out in the woods, i am cursed by having to use frontier communications dsl for phone/internet. the phone is voip, so when the internet is down everything is down. there is no cellular service here. so when it does gown i have to drive 10 miles to a cell signal and sit in my car while over the course of a couple hours i end up getting no satisfaction from "support" located in a part of the world where english is not the first language. the internet goes down multiple times daily, usually for a few minutes but often more. it goes down for a few seconds multiple times each hour. it has been this way for years. it is my intention to make a formal complaint, and to do this i need to provide proof. unless there's a better method, i need to come up with an application that runs all the time and pings, say, cloudfare at 1.1.1.1, every few seconds and logs the results. it would be helpful if the logs were readily readable. there seem to be several such applications, but the ones i can find are for windows and seem to be overkill, logging numerous things i don't need. i just need to log this particular datum, in pretty fine detail, for a long period of time, on a linux machine. anyone know if there is such a thing and if so, what it would be? i would love if there were a tde utility that did this, but i don't know if such exists. thanks! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Abandoning KMAIL
by CHRIS M 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

I am going to have to give up on KMAIL. Its back to doing that weird thing that I talked about a couple weeks ago, where as soon as I am done writing my email, I hit the envelope with the green > on it, and instead of just sending it, it puts it in the LOCAL FOLDERS OUTBOX, I then have to switch to OUTBOX and then hit the button I added to my toolbar that says " SEND QUEUED MAIL VIA....." and select Fastmail. That issue stopped for awhile and as soon as I hit the send button with the green > on it, the email skipped the OUTBOX and sent itself, and then put a copy into the sent folder. ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!
