themes broken?
by David Emerson 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

I just upgraded kdm-trinity from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1261450+pr19~squeeze to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax3~squeeze and also, kdmtheme-trinity from: 3.5.13-0debian9+r1248408+pr1~squeeze to: 3.5.13-1debian0+ax1~squeeze And now themes do not seem to be working at all. I also noticed that the rather long and profusely commented /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc was overwritten by kcontrol in admin mode when changing themes Any suggestions for making themes work again? Thanks! David

TDE website update
by Alexandre Couture 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Hello everyone, If someone here have some time for it, it would be nice if the TDE packages repo of François Andriot could be added to the front page of the website. These packages are perfectly stable. Also, I can resend back the screenshots of my PCLOS TDE remaster in a less compressed way so that they could be added to the screenshot section of the site, if it is considered good enough quality for that. These screenshots can be seen in the November page of this mailing list. If my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster is considered good enough to be a day-to-day system, as I use it, then it might be good for the Trinity Desktop Environment project to have a link for it (and the Fedora CD too) when you click on the ''Try a liveCD today'' link on the website. The Fedora CD is great, but is is more a LiveCD to try TDE than a fully-fledged desktop system. Thank you! -Alexandre

Hi.I am running TDE on a Fedora 17, and when I insert a USB device, e.g. an HD, I get the pop-up window asking me what to do with it , but not any icon representing the device on the desktop. Is there a way to enable icons's display on desktop ? ThanksDaniele Manghi

Migrating colour scheme from KDE 3.5.10 to TDE 3.5.13.1
by Ken Heard 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is it possible to migrate my basic desktop colour scheme from KDE 3.5.10 to TDE 3.5.13.1. If I cannot then I would have to enter them manually in the Control Centre. If I can where are my user colour schemes stored in both versions?

Migrating from openSUSE KDE3 to TDE
by Leslie Turriff 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Hi, I'm currently running KDE3 in openSUSE 12.2, but I'm considering converting to TDE. The instructions on your download page don't say anything about migration considerations. Will the configuration information in my .kde directory be used by TDE after the conversion, and if not, is there a procedure for importing that data into TDE? Thanks, Leslie

Re: [trinity-users] TDE on Arch - kicker config window empty and no Shutdown option.

That might explain a few things. I didn't realise AUR was so out of date. I took all the instructions from the wiki.. but there is normally a note to say when something is out of date. I may look at building it from source if I thought it would all work ok at the end :)

TDE on Arch - kicker config window empty and no Shutdown option.
by John Watson 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hello all. This is my first post on the list. Can I start by saying I have only just heard of TDE and I am very happy. For me this DE is one the best today. But one or two issues are stopping me from switching to it permanently. My first problem is this: When I right-click on kicker panel and select Configure Panel, in the new window that opens I only see options for configuring Taskbar (in the left column). Nothing for Appearance or kicker position on the screen. Can anyone help? My second problem is: I do not see any option in the menu for Shutdown, Suspend or Hibernate. I only see Logout. I have enabled the options in kcontrol. Sorry if this post lacks detail but I am sending it from Cinnamon Desktop, so I can't be more detailed. Thanks to all those involved in developing this DE!

Timeout for "mirror.ntmm.org"
by Patrick Serru 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Hi All, Finaly, Fedora 17 looks good to me, now, with selinux disabled (-: for the moment!), my graphic card & screen are all OK. Aside from the fact that my keyboard is not considered as Spanish by Gnome (very nice for the login!). I installed until TDE, the command: # cd /etc/yum.repos.d ; wget http://ppa2.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/… was OK. But # yum install trinity-desktop Modules complémentaires chargés : langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit trinity-3.5.13 | 2.7 kB 00:00 Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f17/trinity-… error was 12: Timeout on http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f17/trinity-…: (28, '') Erreur : Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: trinity-3.5.13-noarch Does it only mean that I should try later? Can someone tell me, please, if once installed TDE, a simple: # cp .kde/* .trinity will be enougth to translate my kde3.5.12 settings to TDE? Thanks. Patrick

I wasn't going to pursue it on the list since it is OT but I am quite stuck. autoconf was working fine but the move to qmake seems to have hosed debugging but only for some variables - ones defined within the method are visible but not ones defined as global to the file. I assumed it must be something with the object files but I've tried all kinds of variations of: -g -gstabs -gdwarf-2 -ggdb -ggdb3 -g3 -O0 I thought it might be the linker so I also tried -rdynamic My build options for the subproject src are indeed debug (and this does seem to automatically add the -g and -O0 but also adds a -DQT_NO_DEBUG - which I have manually removed - no luck there either and the one particular variable I was trying to see was simply an int). I then went so far as to dig out an old autoconf Makefile from version control backup and copy in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to replace the ones in the qmake generated Makefile and rebuilt. No luck there either. I get the same problems in ddd even when telling it where to find the object files. I thought it might be because the paths are different now - the binary is in ../bin/spm instead of /usr/local/SPM/bin/spm and the build files are in ../build instead of ../debug/src so I put everything back the old way where the build files are in the src directory as well as the target binary. That didn't work either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am a programming ignoramus and just taking my best guess at how to fix this. At this point, I am out of cards to play :( Thanks - John > > > >

More KDevelop woes
by John A. Sullivan III 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hello, all. I'm still doing occasional battle with maintaining old Qt3 applications using KDevelop in Trinity 3.5.13.1 on Squeeze. When I start KDevelop, I am asked to select a TQt3 directory which must have an include directory containing tqt.h. On my system, tqt.h is in /usr/include/tqt. However, the dialog does not like that path or any parent along that path. What should this entry be? This may be related to another problem. I am having problems running the debugger in this qmake application. It often fails to find and evaluate variables. Thanks - John
