Trinity's release model
by Janek S. 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

After upgrading to 3.5.13.1 and getting a bunch of new bugs introduced I started thinking it might be a good idea to release new packages continously as changes are made to the code, instead of doing a big release once every few months. I realize there are some major changes going on in the code and they cannot be released partially. Still I think that thanks to git's branching and merging capabilities it should be possible to merge some smaller changes and bugfixes into master and release them as update. Woludn't that be an easier way to track new bugs introduced to the code? Instead of getting a whole load of bug reports after a major release, bugs would be reported as they appear and would be easier to track down to conrete packages and changes made in the code. Janek

Precise depends on libexiv2 from Quetzal
by Tony Rein 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi. I just installed gwenview-trinity (only KDE3 program I use) from the latest trinity update. I got it to work, but one of the dependencies is libexiv2-12, which is newer than the libexiv2 in the Ubuntu Precise repositories. I had to manually install libexiv2-12 from Quetzal, which I downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com Tony

Kmail displays garbage
by Janek S. 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

I have problems when answering emails sent from a Zimbra web interface. When I click "Reply" the new message contains garbage instead of quotation of original message. This happens only with some emails, probably the ones that were composed using HTML editor. Does anyone know how to fix this? Jan

Keyboard in Trinity and K*-trinity applications in LXDE
by Lisi Reisz 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I am running: Trinity 3.5.13 updated with Slavek's patches Squeeze LXDE installed and used when essential I have just run aptitude update. There were no upgrades. There were 2 yesterday. My keyboard has disappeared in Trinity. There is obviously nothing wrong with the keyboard(s), both PS2 and USB, both of which I have tried, or the connection to the motherboard, since keyboards work in the BIOS, gdm and LXDE. This situation is made worse for me by the fact that k*-trinity applications, with the exception of Konqueror, will not run in LXDE. There is no KWrite, and I do not find Nano a long term acceptable substitute, and I can run neither KMail nor Amarok. Not only are these applications not in the menu, they will not run in the console, with error message "command not found". What have I done to upset Trinity?? And how do I persuade it to function for me again?? There is obviously a problem with my imported home. Other people for whom I have installed Trinity, but who had little or no previous data, have ridden off into the sunset. But what problem, where? Lisi

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Can't be good. I get a bunch of 404s from http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu/ I don't know the APT tools well enough to know if having this fail will leave me in a broken state or not. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu College of Architecture, Regional and City Planning, MRCP '16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?

by Uwe Brauer 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hello something is definetely odd on my installation apt-get asked me to autoremove a lot of files, I said yes without thinking too much and my trinity control center disappeared. So I run sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity but I obtain Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu/ lucid/main libkmime2-trinity 4:3.5.13-1ubuntu0+ax3~lucid 404 Not Found etc etc This looks very bad. I tried of course apt-get update but it did not help this is in my source.list file (as indicated in the wiki) 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 what is now the problem, because 2 days ago the installation went smooth.

Matlab does not start, only as root.
by Uwe Brauer 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello I just installed Kubuntu 10.04 on a different machine and then trinity. Everything went smooth, also my matlab installation went fine. Then I installed kscreensaver-kde3 (I am now on a different machine and don't have all the details) kscreensaver-xsavers-extra-kde3 kscreensaver-xsavers-kde3 and the trouble started, finally I had to do a sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kscrensaver-Idont-the details.deb But the installation proceeded, but after that, I could only run matlab as root, otherwise I got a segmentation fault. When I use KDE4 Everything is fine. I repeated the matlab installation and the problem remains. Any idea? (Otherwise I have to reinstall the whole beast I am afraid) Thanks Uwe

Amarok question
by Janek S. 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Is there a way to extract information about currently played song from Amarok? I would like to create a plugin for tmux-powerline [1] that displays currently played song on the status bar. I know there were plugins for Kadu IM that changed users status to show current song, so this is possible. The question is can this be achieved from bash level or does it require a library call?
