Trinity seems to have a brighter future than KDE3**. I would go back if the development team released a OSS version 10.4 with KDE3.5.12 (12 or more)... Saw the leaders of the KDE team, this is not possible **without a murder or two! It would be a little spit on Trinity, which the development team will certainly expand, I guess. Thank you for the offer, Mark, it's nice of you.

Making a dual monitor setting in Kcontrol endure
by Lisi Reisz 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Yet another computer in the house having died, I have temporarily set my husband up using my netbook with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, running Squeeze with Trinity 3.10.13.1. A single screen is set up that displays on both monitors the same. This is unusable on the monitor. I can find no way of setting two different settings. The screen number control is greyed out. So I use KContriol to set up a better resolution and sync rate, which necessarily sets itself up on both. Except that the netbook screen goes on strike and goes blank. This suits me fine! But, although I have set this up in KControl, every time my husband reboots, I have to set the monitor up for him again. He is forgetting even those computer skills that I had managed to teach him. I haven't a hope of teaching him how to use KControl for himself. Help! When I have finished the course I am doing, I shall set him up properly. But that is not until December. I need to limp him through now. So is there any way I can persuade Trinity to keep the settings in KControl?? Thanks, Lisi

apt-get update query

Trying to load 3.5.13.1 on a friends machine so add deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main to sources.list then apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 goes on OK then apt-get update shows the other repositories but not any trinty ones. Installation does not work Other machines with Trinity loaded do not show Trinity repositories although they do show new Trinity stuff with apt-get upgrade and Synaptic. Any ideas? John Campbell

make qt4 applications open folders in konqueror
by Samuele Carcagno 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

first of all kudos to the developers, I've been running trinity since last week on one of my machines and it has been a pleasant experience! I'm running TDE on an Ubuntu Precise installation, I removed all kde4 packages before installing TDE now I'm having problems making a qt4 application (mendeley pdf organizer) to open folders in konqueror, it opens them in firefox instead. I tried to open folders with xdg-open and it also that uses firefox. I've tried several things, issuing the following as suggested in the Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-open $ xdg-mime default kfmclient.desktop inode/directory didn't work I tried setting kfmclient as the application for opening inode/directory in /usr/share/applications/default.list as well as in .local/share/applications/default.list and it didn't work. Eventually I tried installing nautilus, and as I suspected it took possession of xdg, and xdg-open directoryname now uses nautilus, but that's not really what I wanted, I would like that xdg-open uses konqueror any suggestion would be appreciated! Sam

possible to upgrade TDE3.5.12 > TDE 3.5.13.1?
by Greg Madden 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Debian Squeeze i386, TDE3.5.12 Changed my sources list to include TDE v. 3.5.13 http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main Apt-get update, apt-get ugrade : 31 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 246 not upgraded apt-get dist-upgrade:26 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 248 to remove and 5 not upgraded root@trinity:~# apt-cache policy libqt3-mt libqt3-mt: Installed: 3:3.3.8b-7+b1 Candidate: 3:3.3.8b-7+b1 Version table: 3:3.3.8d-1ubuntu0+ax1~squeeze 0 500 http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages *** 3:3.3.8b-7+b1 0 990 http://192.168.0.4/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Buzulla: [kdelibs] startkde fails because of undefined symbol _ZN7QObject18childrenListObjectEv seems related. My guess is libqt3-mt fails to upgrade, not recognized as a higher version, apt-get either remove most of trinity or olds back the majority of packages. Is there a upgrade path from 3.5.12 > 3.5.13.1? Instructions somewhere? -- -- -- Peace, Greg

Choice of language
by Jean Milot 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hello, I have a problem with language. I choose the language for kde to switch between : pt and fr. It works only for the kde application (not icedove, iceweasel, chrome ...) I have modify the script startkde in which I export the variable : LANG In order to obtain the language of kde, i search in the .trinity/share/config/kdeglobals, language to export the good variable. But it seems that when we change the languages the kdeglobals files is modified and the variable language disappear. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Jean -- MILOT Jean Tél. : 0659514624 milot.jean(a)gmail.com

Kiosktool
by russell＠lls.lls.com 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Is kiosktool meant to work in Trinity 3.5.13.1 ? It doesn't seem to change anything in /etc/kde-profile If I do the following:- (logged in as user name xtest) su touch /tmp/marker kiosktool (and delete the Multimedia menu) find / -xdev -newer /tmp/marker I would expect to see a list of the files changed by kiosktool in /etc.... but what I get is:- lapcat:~xtest% find / -xdev -newer /tmp/marker /root /root/.DCOPserver_lapcat_lapcat.local_1 /root/.ICEauthority /root/.trinity/share/config /root/.trinity/share/config/kiosktoolrc /root/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals /root/.trinity/share/config/knotifyrc /root/.kde-test /root/.kde-test/.config /root/.kde-test/.config/menus /root/.kde-test/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu /root/.kde-test/.qt /root/.kde-test/.kde /root/.kde-test/.kde/socket-lapcat /root/.kde-test/.kde/cache-lapcat /root/.kde-test/.kde/cache-lapcat/ksycoca /root/.kde-test/.kde/cache-lapcat/ksycocastamp /root/.kde-test/.kde/tmp-lapcat /root/.kde-test/.kde/share /root/.kde-test/.kde/share/config /root/.kde-test/.kde/share/config/kmenueditrc /root/.kde-test/.kde/share/services /root/.kde-test/.kde/share/services/update_ksycoca /root/.DCOPserver_lapcat_lapcat.local:1 /home/xtest/.xsession-errors /tmp /tmp/.ICE-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop12681-1352138257 /tmp/ksocket-root /tmp/ksocket-root/kioskdir /tmp/ksocket-root/klauncherKOXBYp.slave-socket /tmp/ksocket-root/kdeinit-lapcat.local:1 /tmp/ksocket-root/kdeinit_lapcat.local_1 /tmp/kde-root /tmp/kde-root/kioskdir /tmp/kde-root/kioskdir/ksycoca /tmp/kde-root/kiosktoolosCNi1.tmp /tmp/kde-root/kiosktoolYFbYkg.tmp /tmp/kde-root/ksycoca /tmp/kde-root/kiosktoolP3By0D.tmp /tmp/kde-root/kiosktoolLGRkj2.tmp lapcat:~xtest% If I go back into kiosktool, the Multimedia menu is still enabled. In kiosktool Settings, I have it set to save all profiles in /etc/kde-profile (as I've always done with KDE3). In addition to actually changing the profile... I can't see where the profile gets set. Nothing I can find in /opt/trinity uses kiosktool-kdedirs to set the right KDEDIRS for a given user/group. Am I flogging a dead horse here? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

Konqueror and Flash
by russell＠lls.lls.com 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Playing further with my shiny new Wheezy/Trinity system I tried installing flash (yeah I know but users demand it). Downloaded the latest and greatest (11.2 r202) from Adobe and copied libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so Started Firefox and flash is detected and works. Start Konqueror and although the plugin shows up in the 'Configure Konqueror->Plugins' list it doesn't seem to work. Trying http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html I get a javascript freezing popup.... clicking Continue brings the javascript freezing popup again and again... clicking Abort shows the page without the Flash 'movie' or version numbers. This page works fine in Firefox with the one and only libfashplayer.so on my system. I then tried deleting /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, enabling the nonfree repos and installed flashplugin-nonfree. That installs the same libflashplayer.so (same checksum) and, as expected, the results are identical. So.... how does one get flash working with konqueror ?? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

3.5.13.1 on Wheezy?
by russell＠lls.lls.com 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, Having been based on Hardy/KDE3 for some years I'm trying to build a new system with Wheezy and Trinity (KDE4 is hopeless on our thin clients!). I see there's no official repository for Wheezy/Trinity so I tried the nightly builds but there are 'issues' with R14 so I'd like to try 3.5.13.1 What do I need in apt/sources.list to get 3.5.13.1 on Wheezy? TIA -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------
