amarok-trinity not updated by 3.5.13.2 on Debian/Wheezy
by Philip Ashmore 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi there. I just successfully updated to 3.5.13.2 - go team! As it turns outthe upgrade wasn't a complete upgrade due to missing updated packages for Wheezy. I used apt-get update && apt-get upgrade as root. Here's what it said. The following packages have been kept back: amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity kdeaddons-trinity kdeedu-trinity kdemultimedia-trinity kig-trinity libarts1-xine-trinity noatun-plugins-trinity It seems that amarok-common-trinity isn't available in 3.5.13.2 yet. Apologies in advance if you already know about this. Regards, Philip Ashmore

64 bit os12.2: nothing provides hal needed by trinity-desktop-3.5.13.2-2.oss122.opt.noarch
by Felix Miata 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

After hours and hours and hours since about 24 hours ago of futile attempts to get 12.1/KDE 4.9.5 upgraded to 12.2/4.10.5, including finally a fresh installation of 12.2, I finally just removed all traces of KDE4 and tried 'zypper -v in trinity-desktop', only to be stopped by $SUBJECT. :~( Zypper se -s hal produces nada except as irrelevant substring. Zypper se -s trinity lists 1127 packages. Apparently hal needs more appropriate mention on http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/OpenSUSEBinaryIns… ? Why 12.2 and not something newer?: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39949 Also in 12.3 and 13.1 there's this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833253 Why not KDE 4.11?: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320561 I guess it's back to KDE3. No missing deps installing it. It even runs. :-p -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

changing default kmail browser
by dep 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

greetings, one and all . . . there is a setting someplace that i cannot find, and it is making me crazy. well, crazier. everywhere i can, i have set firefox as my default browser. but kmail won't listen. no matter what i do, when i click on a link in an email message, here comes konqueror, which is a great file manager and a terrible web browser. i very much hope that this behavior is not hardcoded. have set firefox as the default in the kde system settings through kcontrol (and the other places, such as konqueror configuration, where the same choice appears) and it seems to have taken -- everyplace except kmail, which is where it chiefly matters. anyone know where i can change this? thanks. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Imagemagick error
by Paul Cartwright 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

I just tried to open Imagemagick in trinity and nothing happened. So I edited the menu, found the executable and ran it in a terminal. This is what it came back with: :~$ display.im6 display.im6: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064. I switched to Mate desktop and Imagemagick ran as normal.. So it is a trinity issue.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587

konquerorsu. Cannot write to files with kate, kwrite
by Nigel Henry 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Binary install of 3.5.13.2 on Xubuntu Lucid 10.04 I'm having a problem writing to files with konquerorsu. It is started with (kdesudo -c 'konqueror --profile filemanagement') then requests password, then opens ok. I can create directories ok in the filesystem so it's obviously running as root, but I cannot save edited files, with kate, kwrite, and xfce's mousepad complaining about a permissions issue. I have no problems with konquerorsu on other distros by the way. I also started xfce's thunar from a shell with sudo thunar (on the TDE), and can save to files ok with that, so it's not some global problem about saving to files. Any suggestions as to how to resolve the problem? Thanks. Nigel.

Behaviour setting on configure desktop
by Lisi Reisz 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

There is a problem (bug) with the settings for icons, in that I cannot set them. On my own computer they simply don't display, no matter how many settings I tick in the behaviour setting. I rarely use icons so this is a very minor problem. But I am setting up an installation for a client who relies on icons. He will be most upset to have the wrong ones. I go through ticking and unticking the boxes for the various hardware and files, click on "apply", and nothing changes, except that all the settings return to the default. The icons I want to get rid of remain and the ones that I want to show remain stubbornly invisible. Has anyone any suggestions for what I can do about this? Lisi

Help - Live Disk Problem
by David Bell 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Greetings, Having installed TDE successfully on my desktop, using tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso, I have struck a problem with my laptop. Although I have previously installed many other GNU/Linux distros on it the live disk installs happily but won't install to the hdd. The disk was written on the laptop. When I select either the install icon or the item in the menu the CDROM comes to life then stops. A puzzlement! Is there is a command line I could use? Can anyone help me finally escape KDE4 using the live disk please? David W. Devon

Concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU
by Alexandre Couture 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Hi everyone, I have a few concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU It seems to me that 3.5.13.2 SRU has next to perfect stability, features and reliability, while R14 is not there yet. By looking at this page: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/ , almost all I can see is that the dev team is working very hard to just keep R14 in working conditions. Sometimes Amarok doesn't start, sometimes desktop or menus are unresponsive for a moment, some themes doesn't work completely and it is not like if the user would benefit from a new set of feature or a complete visual overhaul. I cannot see why an user would benefit from using the upcoming R14 when it is compared to the stability of 3.5.13.2 SRU. Everything works as it should in 3.5.13.2. It wolud have been a very good ground for improving TDE on top of it. All of this trouble is supposed to be for the integrations of QT4 parts in TDE, but it seems to me that in R14, it will be used nowhere, not even for a single check-box in a config panel. Maybe it is just me, maybe I would need some explanations. I mean that if the efforts has been made to make TDE more attractive to new users and to modernize it, it would certainly have more popularity. As well as making a new ''outside'' on top of an outdated car is not good, changing everything under the hood and keeping the old outdated ''outside'' is certainly not better at all. I know that TDE could be better, if some attention could be thrown at things that are not just under the hood. Just one man's opinion... Tell us what you think! -Alexandre

Re: [trinity-users] "Improving"/"Modernizing" the Look of TDE Considered Harmful
by William Morder 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Anybody who wants TDE to look more "modern" (like Windoze, iPutz or whatnot), I say -- LET THEM EAT CAKE! The charm of the KDE3 desktop is its simplicity. Keep it simple, and let users configure it themselves. Bill
