Bug report in TDE general UI and in K3B
by Alexandre Couture 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Hi everyone, On TDE 3.5.13.1, when I go in a open/save file dialog, if i move between the files with the arrows on the keyboard, some items are always jumped, and when you press the down arrow and the highlighted file is the last in that column, depending on the files in that directory, it either go on the next column, as it should or it go to the top of the same column. I know that some persons will say that it is just a small papercut bug, but it wasn't present in KDE 3.5.x Also, when I want to create an audio CD from mp3 file in K3b, when I drag the mp3 file in the lower part of the screen, where the songs goes, I get an error message saying: ''Problems while adding files to the project.'' ''Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format'' Then, it says that I could go in another program to convert the files in WAV manually before adding them to K3B. This bug doesn't exist in KDE (3.x.x and 4.x.x) and I remember very well using this function of K3B back in 2006-2007, on KDE. The necessary codecs are installed and the bug can be reproduced very easily on my PCLOS livecd available on this website. It looks like a small papercut bug, but it is something that block me from using TDE on my main computer and in my opinion, K3B is the best burning app on linux, so using another program is not much an option here. Thank you in advance for your hard work on TDE! -Alexandre

Preparing updates for 3.5.13
by Slávek Banko 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hello everyone, since the release 3.5.13.1 enough time has elapsed, and so we have included the first set of patches for a future release 3.5.13.2. Final version release date is not yet determined. Those who continue to use my PPA probably already have the update installed. Here is a detailed list of backported patches: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13_2… Along with the update packages I also again expanded the number of supported distributions for stable branch - after earlier announced Ubuntu Quantal now are also available packages for Debian Wheezy. https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+packag… Please test it :) Comments and suggestions welcome. Happy New Year to you wishes Slavek --

Icon themes for TDE
by Alexandre Couture 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

Hi everyone! I wanted to share 2 icon themes for updating the look of TDE: -Crystal SVG Updated http://www.filefactory.com/file/2sm4lju0j1ap/n/crystalsvg_zip This icon theme comes from PCLOS MiniME 2008 (KDE 3.5.x). I don't know if it is an official update of the old Crystal SVG or a theme made by the PCLOS team, but it is a more modern version of it. -Oxygen for KDE3 http://www.filefactory.com/file/5w394u74iua9/n/oxy-tde_zip This is the theme used in my PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster. It comes from kde-look.org I personally think that keeping the old Crystal SVG theme as the default theme is not good for the TDE project. The people who haven't used TDE will think that it is always the same old project as KDE3. It just looks too old and of course, the more actual Oxygen icon theme will go this way one day or another, but as of now, I think that it would be a good idea for TDE to use Oxygen or another icon theme, at least this updated version of Crystal SVG. The same idea goes with the general theme. We aren't used to the ''vanilla KDE 3.5.10'' these days. Themes with big lines separating GUI elements aren't used anymore and even during the KDE 3.5.x days, almost no distros used the default theme. This is just my personal opinion... -Alexandre

Hi All, The KMix window offers VIA8237 or PulseAudio as mixer in a popup menu. The default value is PulseAudio. How can I fix it to VIA8237 by default, please? Thank you Patrick

Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13
by Marvin L Jones 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

I've been running Ubuntu 10.04/Trinity -- all fat, dumb, and happy. Especially happy. Now, while poking around at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ I see I should be/could be using Trinity v3.5.13. I'm not. I'm running Trinty 3.5.11. sigh... My apt sources: : |$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list |# KDE3 repositories | |deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main |deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main The http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ apt sources list for 10.04/Lucid contains: deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… lucid main So , is it enough to change my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list file to the trinity-v3.5.13 sources and apt-get update/upgrade? Or, will I snafu my nicely running system? Are there any gotchas? Or, do I have to upgrade through trinity-v3.5.12 first -- somehow? Thanks in advance, Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ 38.238N 104.547W | config.com | DM78rf | SK

settings for a 1024x768 monitor that Trinity insists on recognising as 800x600.
by Lisi Reisz 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

The main problem at the moment is that I cannot set up KMail because I can't get at the bottom of the window. :-( It is the first time that I have used dvi-d and the Iiyama Prolite E431S has heretofore been recognised well in VGA. I obviously need an x-org file, but am not sure how to achieve this at this stage. TDE 3.5.13.2 on Squeeze, just finished installing and am trying to set it up. NVIDIA GTX 650Ti 1GB Graphics Card. Nouveau is installed. As a pro-tem measure, can anyone remind me how to move a window above the top of the monitor so that I can get at the bottom and click "apply"? :-( Thanks, Lisi

Slávec's tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1
by Patrick Serru 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Happy New Year to all Thank you, Slavek, for this beautiful Christmas gift that was the "tde-3.5.13.1-ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso". Everyone will have read some bitterness in my reports on the using TDE / Fedora17. I only have good things to say (until now) on installing from the CD Trinity and its operation, until the closing session window, with it's TDE icone! I even thought that I would start my everyday "Oss 11.1" with the Grub freshly installed! But that dream was too deep! So no screen definition problem / unstability ( /-: but I have booted only once). I will probably inhibit SeLinux as soon as possible. With Fedora, things have been much improved after the system updates. But with Ubuntu-12/TDE, I have not found the graphical update tools, the name of which I've forgotten, in the "10.10 TDE enterprise". It seems to me that there were several of these tools. Do I have to do these updates, before continuing migration? Thank you, Slavek, for working on TDE. Patrick Oups: Sent yestuday to trinity-announce at lists.pearsoncomputing.net

My apologies! I had to use Yahoo's web mail for my previous post and I'm not sure the quoting worked as well as it should have. I think Yahoo mail favors Microsoft's top posting scheme. Andy
