TDE 3.5.13.2 login loop
by iadest 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hi, I'm a TDE user since v. 3.5.13, it's a very good desktop environment as it's configurable, fast and efficient in everyday tasks. Recently I decided to upgrade my Debian notebook (Dell D430 2x1.33GHz 64bit, 2GB RAM, 60GB HDD) to TDE 3.5.13.2. To do this I formatted entire HDD and installed Debian Wheezy NetInstall (amd64) from USB drive. Except typical problems with black screen in console (Intel 950) everything went OK. After installing TDE and rebooting it launched normally. I configured it as I like: turned sound notifications off, tweaked window decoration to KDE2, icons to KDE2 and added cut/opy/paste/Terminal here buttons to Konqueror's toolbar, disabled ctrl-alt-del at log in. Installed Geany IDE and KNeMo to see utilization of network connections, activated KNeMo to display icons. After rebooting it doesn't start properly. It gets to proper login screen, when I log in it waits for few seconds using hard disk, then screen turns black and back to wallpaper, login window appears again. This happens in a loop. Here's a log from .xsession-errors I pulled from console mode. It looks like segfault appears during setting paths. Xsession: X session started for mcbx at pią…, 26 lip 2013, 00:48:00 CEST localuser:mcbx being added to access control list [startkde] Starting startkde.

Some Mageia package depend on packages older than those installed...
by Thierry de Coulon 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hello all, I've been trying again to install TDE on Mageia 3 (following the install instructions). Most of it seems OK, but the install fails with a message saying some packages can't be installed because they depend on packages older than those installed. The packages in question are trinity-perld-dcop, trinity-tdebindings and trinity-desktop. However, I've noticed that links, when installing software from Mageia, contain a directory "cauldron", and uname -a returns an "mga4" element. I associate "cauldron" with a development version, am I right? So could it be that I somehow got a development version of Mageia? The md5 hash of my DVD is not the same as that given on the mageia site ?!? I am re-downloading a fresh image from Mageia 3 now, but if anyone has more knowledge about Mageia than me, I'd be happy for any information about the version I should install for TDE... Regards, Thierry

3.5.13.2 coming soon
by Slávek Banko 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hi all, who are using my PPA with preliminary packages for stable branch 3.5.13.x, note that you can expect in the coming days massive update. Currently I am uploading packages with the final version 3.5.13.2 to build. Since the speed of buildes is different for each platform, you may encounter occasional inconsistencies - in this case, simply wait for the update. Complete list of changes since version 3.5.13.1 can be found on wiki: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2… A complete set of package builds for these versions distributions: + Debian 6.0 - Squeeze + Debian 7.0 - Wheezy + Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid + Ubuntu 10.10 - Maverick + Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty + Ubuntu 11.10 - Oneiric + Ubuntu 12.04 - Precise + Ubuntu 12.10 - Quantal + Ubuntu 13.04 - Raring The official announcement of the new version will follow after the completion of build and subsequent publishing packages on the mirror. Thank you for your patience. Slavek

Testing TDE R14
by Alexandre Couture 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello, I would really like to do more testing of TDE R14 nightly builds on Ubuntu 13.04, but the TDE servers seems to be completely overwhelm since a few week, especially since Ubuntu nightly builds LiveCDs are available. When I want to update to the latest nightly build, it downloads at less than 56k Internet speed, so I often have to cancel the download because I don't want to wait for 15 hours for a it. Is there some ways that could be considered to make faster the TDE servers? In the list of distros where nightly builds are available, I see completely outdated versions of linux distributions. Is it still necessary to build nightly builds for obsolete versions of Ubuntu, as an example? Also, maybe a weekly Ubuntu nightly build LiveCD could be enough for its purpose, making the TDE servers save on bandwidth and improve its performance. Thanks! -Alexandre

battery and power troubles
by David Emerson 20 Jul '13

20 Jul '13

Hi there, Just installed Debian 7.1 Wheezy and Trinity 3.5.13.2 on a Lenovo W500 The tray icon that usually shows my power status is there, but gives only a tooltip, "No information about battery and AC status available" Looking at kcontrol > KDE Components > Service Manager, I see that in Load-on-Demand Services, Laptop Battery Monitor is not running. I am able to see the power status and battery readings in /sys/class/power_supply, for both AC and BAT0 How can I get that service loaded? Thanks! ~David

3.5.13.2 update breaks icons in T-menu
by Julius Schwartzenberg 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

I let my system do the full 3.5.13.2 upgrade, but now almost all the icons in my T-menu (kicker menu) are gone. The program icons are still there, but the category icons are pretty much all gone. I saw the same behavior on another system of another user that upgraded. I'm using Ubuntu Precise. I have no other DEs installed. Does anyone here know what's going on and whether it can be solved? Thanks in advance, Julius

PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2013, July 3 is ready to download!
by Alexandre Couture 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hello everyone! My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2013, July 3 is ready to download! I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of their repos, it is also not supported by them. It only has a special ''permission to exist'' from the PCLinuxOS dev team. It can be seen as a whole as the much-loved PCLOS 2007, but fully updated and upgraded. It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD). New on this release: -Fully updated PCLinuxOS 2013 base system -TDE 3.5.13.2 -A theme switch Zenity script to let the user switch between the more modern theme I use and TDE default theme, to please more users. -A SuperKaramba theme pack -It can now be downloaded as a simgle ISO file, and not a multi-part zip file! On this LivCD: -Tons of TDE software and major apps like LibreOffice, Firefox and Gimp Login info (on the LiveCD): Regular user:guest Password:guest Super user: root Password:root System requirement: A x86 computer with at least 256mb of RAM. It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too. Download link: http://www.filefactory.com/file/58az0tb7atkr/PCLinuxOS_n-o_TDE_remaster_3Ju… http://www.filefactory.com/file/60qc1bz69egz/n/Readme_First_pdf http://www.filefactory.com/file/70m9x7neh6w1/n/PCLinuxOS_n-o_TDE_remaster_3… (this file can be placed on TDE mirrors) Md5Sum: 703a5613a3a2c0d89bb1dcadba629fb4 If you like what you see, you can consider giving some money to the Trinity Desktop Environment project! Give me your comments! -Alexandre
