PCLinuxOS doesn't use systemd
by Alexandre 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

Hi, I saw in the last few weeks discussion about newer distros switching to systemd, and some persons here says they would use another distro to avoid systemd at all. PCLinuxOS doesn't use systemd and have recent kernel, now at 3.16.xx, and it still has HAL, so it might be a good alternative for users who prefer classic startup sysvinit systems. Texstar, the one at the head of PCLinuxOS also said that he will stay away of systemd for as long as he is not forced to use it. By the way, I will release in the next few days the new version of my PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster. It will still be based on super stable TDE 3.5.13.2, with the PCLinuxOS better than average user friendliness and hardware support, plus updated graphic style and less fat. Stay tuned! :) Thank you! -Alexandre

29 Sep '14

Debian Wheezy, TDE R14 I have the tdepim meta-package installed. I just noticed that the calendar no longer is available. Error dialog box pops up, no other info, or is there a Trinity specific error log somewhere? -- Peace, Greg

Hi list, emerge @preserved-rebuild tries to emerge dev-qt/qt-3.3.8d-r1, which fails because of missing freetype.h The log says Xft auto-detection... (-L/usr/lib64) Found libXft.so in /usr/lib64 Found libXft.so in /usr/lib Found X11/Xft/Xft.h in /usr/include Found Xft version 2.3.1 Could not find freetype2/freetype/freetype.h anywhere in /usr/X11R6/include /usr/include /include Xft disabled. Xft support cannot be enabled due to functionality tests! Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to ./configure to see the final report. If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue switch (-continue) to ./configure to continue. * ERROR: dev-qt/qt-3.3.8d-r1::trinity failed (configure phase): * (no error message) * media-libs/freetype 2.5.3-r1 is installed. Any help appreciated k

K3B blu-ray support
by Greg Madden 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

Just bought my first blu-ray drive, for data archives. Support for blu-ray was added to K3B in version 2.0, current is 2.02. Is it possible to add blu-ray support to legacy, v1.05 in TDE R14, K3B ? I can burn blu-ray with growisofs from the cli, prefer K3B. ---- Peace, Greg

Minimal install of TDE
by Michael . 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

I'm about to start on making a live version of a minimal install of TDE for Cobber (Australasian Debian). I am wondering what are the absolute minimum packages required for a working TDE without applications. The intent behind the minimal install is to allow end users who want to choose the applications in their install to install only what they need and want. I will provide synaptic (or a TDE equivalent) for those who want a gui for package selection but there will be no office suite, games, graphics tools, music or video tools. In other words all I want is the visible desktop, menu etc so that the user can navigate enough to install more applications through their internet connection using either synaptic or a terminal. Cheers. Michael.

systemd and sysvinit, a question
by Lisi Reisz 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Since this list seems prepared to stick to logic, facts and solutions, rather than heat and emotion, perhaps some kind soul would answer a question for me. I have no opinion on init systems. I accept what I am given and am grateful, but .... If sysvinit is as staggerigly marvellous as it is being painted by some, and if it was such a near thing that it got dropped as the Debian default init system, how come the vote was apparently between Upstart and systemd? And given that it was a vote between Upstart and systemd, why are some people so up in arms and ranting that sysvinit was dropped by a meaningless margin? (The chairman's casting vote.) When and how was the decison to drop sysvinit as the Debian default init system actually taken? Lisi

Wheezy upgrade to R14
by Greg Madden 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Went for it, upgrades main workstation,,whew... a couple of issues. Wheezy amd64, TDE 3.5.13.2 > http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/wheezy/deps-r14 I used 'apt-get dist-upgrade', went without a hitch. Issue: when I log in, a dialog box pops up for a locked session, need password. I get from 3-6 of these dialogs on each login, I usually do not shut my box down..minor anoyance , definately not locked sessions, or screensavers... would like to know how to get rid of these. I use the 'adept-notifier' icon in the system tray. The icon no longer, it used to, changes to green after a update. A restart of the session will remedy this, do not want shut everything down to fix issues with desktops. Love kdepim..it is the app that keeps me hooked on Trinity, not feeling the love for kpdf & gwenview. -- Peace, Greg

Hi ! I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Jessie. As I tried to install k9copy program, apt-get complained about dependency on "mencoder" The package "mencoder" doesn't seem to be available in jessie. Any idea how to solve it? Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file ----8<---- deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/d… jessie main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de… jessie main ----8<---- Here is the output of apt-get install command: ----8<---- root@tuoni:~# apt-get install k9copy-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: k9copy-trinity : Depends: mencoder but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ----8<---- Cheers, Ilya Dogolazky
