Printer Control not showing jobs in queues
by russell＠lls.lls.com 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Does anyone know why the Trinity KDE Control Module for printers doesn't show jobs in the print queues? The problem is probably best illustrated with a screen scrape: http://ruffle.me.uk/nojobsshown.png You can see in the xterm window the current queue status and in the Control Module window no jobs showing up. I've tried in both normal user and Administrator mode. I'm running: % kcontrol --version Qt: 3.3.8d KDE: 3.5.13.2 Trinity Control Center: 3.5.13.2 On an older KDE3 system: % kcontrol --version Qt: 3.3.8b KDE: 3.5.10 KDE Control Center: 3.5.10 with, for all intents and purposes an identical printer setup, it works. -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

Wifi connection problem on new ThinkPad
by Robert Peters 10 Apr '14

10 Apr '14

Hello, On a new Lenovo ThinkPad T440S I installed Trinity from exegnulinux_4.2.iso dated 24-Jul-2013. This is in addition to a preinstalled Windows 7 Professional. Running wicd does not detect any wireless networks, however, wicd in Trinity in my older laptop does detect them. And Windows in the ThinkPad also detects the networks, so wireless must be enabled. AND wicd doesn't even see a wired network when connected with a LAN cable. Do I need to configure wicd? Or install from a newer image such as exegnu_wheezy_r14_26032014.iso? Or install (L|X)Ubuntu and set up Trinity on top of that? Robert

kmail library problem
by aw30＠sayne.org 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I've just upgraded to Debian Jessie, and things seem to work, with two exceptions: 1 I couldn't run xinit /opt/trinity/bin/startkde because ksmserver-trinity was not reinstalled by default. I think because of dependency problems, since I had to downgrade a few packages to get it to install. But that is now sorted. 2 Having got Trinity to run, everything (so far) seems to work except kmail, my favourite program! 4:3.5.13.2-0debian7.0.0.+0 has been installed. I get the following: 23:40 ~>kmail kmail: error while loading shared libraries: libkmailprivate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory But it's there... 23:41 ~>la /opt/trinity/lib/libkmailprivate.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8071664 Jun 14 2013 /opt/trinity/lib/libkmailprivate.so It seems to be the only file with this problem - it has the same permissions as all the rest. Where do I look next? And before you ask, no, I'm not using kmail to write this, but webmail, so sigs and things are a bit different... cheers ant

Translating Trinity
by Jan Stolarek 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

I already said this twice in the past, but there wasn't much response: I'd like to help with translating Trinity into Polish language. At the moment there are many translations missing. I am willing to do the translation as long as I don't need to get into technical details like learning some fancy developer tools and alike. Just plain text files or some really simple dev tools.

Does official 3.5.13.2 SRU have hal or other hot-plugged h/w support?
by Z2 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

I'm referring to the batch of packages at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… as the "official" 3.5.13.2 SRU, and was wondering if things like the old KDE desktop-popup-on-usbstick-insert is expected to work? I'm running hal-0.5.14, though that may not have been installed at the time I compiled kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2. I do notice that the kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2 that's on the official 3.5.13.2 SRU release page does _not_ have a visible "WITH_HAL" option, nor any other h/w related settings such as "WITH_UDISK" etc. So is it a known "feature" that this release doesn't isn't expected to work with hot-pluggable h/w, or is it just me? z.

How many 3.5.13.2 SRU's are there???
by Z2 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello, I'm a bit frustrated: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… gives a list of trinity packages in TDE 3.5.13.2. To use one example of a package listed on that page (there are many more examples), I can get kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2.tar.xz from there. Now I go to the git webpage: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/ and there is no such package as kdelibs-trinity or kde* anything for that matter. But, there is tdelibs, with a tdelibs-3.5.13.2 tarball: v3.5.13.2 tdelibs-3.5.13.2.zip tdelibs-3.5.13.2.tar.gz Slávek Banko 10 months So, just to state what's looking pretty obvious, your http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… release page is about as useful as tits on a boar, right? Look, tdelibs-3.5.13.2, for all intents and purposes, has the appearance of belonging to trinity-blah-blah-blah release "3.5.13.2". But its not listed on the release page for the oh so boldly announced: "2013.07.21: Trinity Desktop Environment 3.5.13.2 SRU Released!" Why am I wrong in assuming that packageXXX-3.5.13.2 would belong to the "TDE 3.5.13.2 SRU Released!" collection of tarballs? Isn't 3.5.13.2 == 3.5.13.2 ? Maybe not. And even if I'm wrong about that, why isn't kdelibs-trinity even so much as listed on the GIT page? Even if its obsolete, there should a dead-link or something there saying so...whatever, not important. What is important is the fact that kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2 is vastly different than tdelibs-3.5.13.2, to wit, tdelibs has additional directories and functionality, etc. So two packages, each with the same version, only one of which is needed, and both of which fullfill the same role, are currently in a state where the obsolete one is listed as part of the official release download page, and the good one can't even be found referenced as part of the official release. So is there a collection of tarballs for a particular release, such as 3.5.13.2 SRU, or not? Should I just pull all tarballs from the git page? And if its just something as simple as a rename of kdelibs-trinity -> tdelibs, why wasn't the version bumped when extra directories were added? Never mind, I don't care about the "why" of anything. I just want to know where the hell I can download a set of "official" (whatever that means) packages for tde-3.5.13.2. And the release page ain't it...And by the way, I'm looking for source code, not some pansy mamby-pamby prebuilt set of binaries. Thanks, z.

Testing latest R14 nightly
by John Pisini 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

I tried the latest r14 nightly out on Ubuntu 12.04 for the most part it works very well, hats off to you guys. Seems faster than 3.5 and svg files seem to be handled better in this version. I like the reorganization of the control panel menus. A couple of small things I noticed Konqueror the file manager locks up (on two machines and a VM) requiring it to be shut then reopened. Also KLcdDimmer no longer works in this version. If I get some free time I will open bug reports but I am not really sure what to put in for the file manager I get no errors it just stops responding but will let me close it and reopen no issues.

I also tried purging hal package but with no result. One thing that changed after the upgrade is that kpowersave icon in the tray is greyed out when I log into Trinity, as if HAL was not accessable. Only after several seconds it becomes normal. Please note that kpowersave reports HAL as enabled and complains when I shut down hal daemon. So there seems to be some communication between them (just reading from HAL?). Is there any way I can debug this? I recall struggling with similar problem under KDE3 and OpenSUSE. Back then it was a matter of some dbus permissions. > This embarrassing situation was a strong motivator for the complete > removal of HAL in R14. ;-) This begs the question when will R14 be released.
