gui freeze.
by Felmon Davis 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

greetings! using Trinity Desktop, David Hare's exegnu, on Acer Aspire One 722 with kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-686-pae. I can run Manjaro 3.9.4-1-xxx and Debian Trinity kernel 2.6.32-6-686 (also Hare's version) on this boxlet without a problem except I was fumbling with getting wifi started on the latter, thus the bright idea to up the kernel. (I can afford to 'play' on this machine.) the trouble is that booting into the gui causes touchpad and mouse to freeze at the login screen, requiring a reboot. I can boot via grub to the bash shell, get in as user and run 'sudo startx' or 'sudo kdm' and there's no problem. I've fished around but hoped someone would have a quick insight or fix. thanks.

of course, one minute after i hit send on the previous note the lightbulb went on and i thought of the proper google search term and now, apparently, the disappearing nameserver is, um, resolved. sorry. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

TDE on freshly installed Debian 7.3.0 issue...
by sp2lob 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Hello all, I would like to install Trinity Desktop Environment release Wheezy [Debian 7.0] (v3.5.13.2) on freshly installed Debian 7.3.0 (by means of 3 DVD installation discs). Architecture is amd64 with 64GB RAM. Followed verbatim Debian Trinity Repository Installation Instructions. I'm stuck at the very beginning with following error message: root@deb:~# apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-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: kde-trinity : Depends: kde-core-trinity (>= 5:47) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. root@deb:~# I found some interesting posts on the list in regards of similar issue: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5093 But, my question is whether it got solved finally? At this stage of system I would not tamper unnecessarily, basically just to avoid new install. Could you please provide some guidance, how to overcome presented issue? Best regards. Tom - sp2lob

Itty-Bitty NIT
by johnsg＠dreamscape.com 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Tis a nit about the website: To wit: In the list of Official Trinity Binaries we have Installation Instructions. And in those we have these really good, well written instructions, complete with the actual command line texts (thank you for those). But BUT BUUUT! The text in those gray boxes is so !@#$%^ small us old fogeys can't read it. And no, zooming in doesn't help (enough). It really looks elegent, but there is a certain degree of functional challenge here. Also, a lot of the lines seem to be close to the max length that the particular style can display without truncation. I recognize there are a bunch of tradeoffs here, so one possibility might be to have the HTML code repeat the grayed text above/below in a larger font? And yes this really is an itty-bitty nit. Thanks again for Trinity JohnSG

A big "Thank you" to Trinity developers
by Jan Stolarek 15 Dec '13

15 Dec '13

For the last couple of months I've been pestering developers to package KBibTex for Trinity. I just noticed it's in the repo. Now I can finally upgrade my old OpenSUSE to Debian - a big thank you to all developers for being responsive to user requests! Janek

it being my weel for stupid, elementary questions . . .

. . . is there any quick and easy way, other than dragging and dropping, to put kmenu items (actually, submenu items) in alphabetical order? and possibly set it so that new items take their proper alphabetical place? packages seem to put themselves at the top of the list or else in its midst through some undiscernable formula. thanks in advance for advice in this regard. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

not serious, but certainly annoying
by dep 10 Dec '13

hi, people . . . hope all is well with one and all. i've meant to ask about this for a long time, and now as i wait for a print job to complete i have a chance. it is an annoying issue involving konqueror that i hope a little configuration tweak might fix. it has been around for multiple versions now. it's this: let us say that i am using konqueror to look at a directory. i see a pdf file that might be what i'm looking for. i click on it and it opens in the embedded pdf viewer. nope, wrong file. click the up arrow to get back to the directory. only now, it has gone from icon view to detailed list view. i have nothing against detailed list view. i use it often. but it is not welcome to insert itself whenever it feels like it. so, then, the question: how can i get it to remain in icon view after having looked at a pdf in the embedded viewer; else, how to i get it to forego the embedded viewer entirely in favor of some other pdf program, so i keep konqueror going in icon view? hope the question is understandable. thanks. best, -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?
