Odd printing behaviour !
by Baron 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Guys, I am using PCLinuxOS from the image that Alexandre Couture created and have discovered an odd printing behaviour. If I click on print from any PDF or Image it prints OK first time. If I then try to print a second copy or close the application and try to print something else the print dialogue comes up frozen. If I click on exit a few times it will tell me that "Kprint" is not responding and give me the opertunity to terminate it. After this I cannot print anything at all without restarting the machine. However when I get back to the desktop, I get the message that there is no default printer and to use the "--all" switch. ?? Clearing the error message allows me to continue as normal. Untill I print something. I have tried the various dialogues but seem unable to find or access my printer. Don't laugh, I'm still using my HP Deskjet 500 MK1 from over thirty years ago. I long as I can keep refilling the cartridge with ink it will continue to be in use ! Thanks guys: -- Best Regards: Baron

konqueror and system:/
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi all! Could somebody plese check if this happens not only to me: - plug in a USB stick - copy a konqueror web archive (*.war) to that stick. - unplug the stick - plug it in again - konqueror opens the stick at system:/media/sdb1/ - klick on the web archive - konqeror gives an error message about being not able to open the file. - replace system:/media/sdb1/ with /media/disk/ and it works. If it happens to others than me, then I'd like to ask why trinity uses the system:/ - url and not the actual mount point of the device. When I press F4, I get a shell at /media/disk/, not system:/media/sdb1/. Is there a way to make konqueror do the same, i.e. use the actual mount point? Nik

Trinity Wheezy libr0?
by Mike Bird 29 Apr '13

29 Apr '13

tdm-trinity 4:14.0.0-0debian7+r693+pr37~wheezy from the nightly builds depends on libr0, which apt-get can't find in Wheezy. Can anyone offer a hint, or is it too soon to be testing Trinity for Wheezy? Thanks, --Mike

tde session crashing
by Greg Madden 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Current Wheezy, TDE R14 I get a login screen on a boot/reboot. After entering user/passwd the session comes up then crashes. This is happening on my workstation , vm's that I test R14 with are okay, laptop install ok. The one thing that has happened to my work station is a power outage and a ups failure, powered off not shut down. Any file corruption that could cause this behavior? -- Peace, Greg

kwalletmanager not working
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all! I have just reinstalled Debian wheezy (64bit) + TDE (slavecs repository). The only thing I cannot get to work is kwalletmanager: - kwalletmanager is running (icon in systray). - klick on icon gives an empty window. - "new wallet" does nothing. So, any idea how I could get this thing working? I would really like to add my old wallet. Nik

Konqueror FTP issue
by Dan Youngquist 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all, When uploading, konqueror will send the whole file (every last byte), then sit there forever with the status window open. It does this maybe 80% of the time, and works fine the other times. Any ideas how to fix it, or should I file a bug report? This is on David Hare's Debian Wheezy respin. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

We normally want to see links to the latest source tarball of a particular software package in a request for packaging bug as well. This process ensures that we a.) do not overlook a request and b.) that we can find the source files when the request is being worked on. Thanks! Tim Hi, Tim: The main dependency required by tork is kdelibs4c2a (along with some others that go along with it). This is already in Trinity, but doesn't work with tork, because something like tork-trinity (I presume) is needed. It seems that the tork package would also fit into these two pages, am I correct? http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7 http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411 There is also another page marked as resolved: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148 A quick search shows that there are some other packages affected by this dependency problem. I've added my comment to these pages, and also filed a bug report requesting package tork-trinity. http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1479 Not sure if I'm doing this right, but if not, somebody can tell me what they need.

request for packages
by William Morder 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hello all, I've been watching the conversations on your Trinity users lists with great interest, but haven't had much time to participate myself. (I am not really a lurker, just busy!) Over the past couple years I keep trying to upgrade my system, especially after the Ubuntu family released 12.04 LTS. I got TDE to run pretty well on top of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu, with varying degrees of success. It seems to run best on Lubuntu for some reason, perhaps because it is less cluttered with possibly conflicting software. When I get frustrated, I go back to go old Hardy Heron 8.04.2, which still runs best on my system; however, I am determined to stick with an up-to-date system, sooner or later, for obvious reasons. Hardy gets less and less functional with every passing day. But I like how it runs (or ran), with all my personal modifications. So I much appreciate all the hard work of the developers. I've read most of your discussions, trying to keep up with problems and fixes, and almost feel like I know some of you personally. Right now I'm running Trinity on top of Lubuntu 12.04 Precise, and it is stable and fast, and I've managed to fix a few problems myself, like windows that crash in Konqueror or Nautilus, etc. A couple things I really miss from my Hardy system, though: kshowmail and TorK. I like kshowmail, but any good email checker, which just shows headers, senders, etc. would be just as good. However, I have tried various biff-type programs, and they don't even seem to run. There are a couple others that look promising, but which either don't run at all, or at any rate don't run on Trinity. If somebody could create Trinity packages for kshowmail and TorK, I would be glad to give up my left arm, as I don't use it much anyway. TorK is the one that I really miss. Vidalia just doesn't cut it for me, and TorK had some special features that I miss. I looked through the packages and dependencies, and it seems like most or all of the dependencies are already part of Trinity. By the way, I did do a little research into alternative solutions. I tried enabling Maverick repositories, as suggested on one site, but it doesn't work. I tried downloading archived packages from various sources, then installing with gdebi-kde, etc.; that sometimes appears to work, but when I run TorK, nothing happens. I tried converting Slackware packages to .deb files using alien, but these also do not actually install. I tried compiling from source, and again, it seems to work, but only creates folders, and my system says that it is a virtual program. Any ideas, and I would be glad to try them, as I seem to have run out of other options. At present, building my own packages for TorK and dependencies is beyond my skill level. Thanks for any help, Bill Morder

Hi all! Is there a way to change the default text editor? I would like to use kwrite instead of kate. I'm running 3.5.13-2 from Slavec's repository. Nik
