problems installing trinity in oneiric - ubuntu 11.10
by Lou Gogan 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi I downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and installed it onto a spare partition. I then followed the installation outlined on the TDE website sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity after an hour of downloading kde 3.5.13 apt-get install was doing what it should have been doing BUT then I got the following error message: ~~~~~~~~~ start ~~~~~~~~ Extracting templates from packages: 100% Preconfiguring packages ... dpkg: sudo: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: ubuntu-minimal depends on sudo. gksu depends on sudo. (Reading database ... 135124 files and directories currently installed.) Removing sudo ... You have asked that the sudo package be removed, but no root password has been set. Without sudo, you may not be able to gain administrative privileges. If you would prefer to access the root account with su(1) or by logging in directly, you must set a root password with "sudo passwd". If you have arranged other means to access the root account, and you are sure this is what you want, you may bypass this check by setting an environment variable (export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes). Refusing to remove sudo. dpkg: error processing sudo (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already Errors were encountered while processing: sudo E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ~~~~~~~~~ end ~~~~~~~~ When I logged out and back in again there was no sign of Trinity or kde3 in the login menu I presume I am not the first person to have tried to install kde 3.5.13 on ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone advise me? I presume this isn't a beta version of kde3. 1. Should the installation script have attempted to remove sudo? (I'm no expert but that doesn't seem right.) 2. How can I try and start the kde desktop? 3. For future reference, if I had installed Kubuntu 11.10 instead of Ubuntu would the download of kde 3.5.13 have been any shorter? Any help would be appreciated (though for the moment I'll stick to my trusted kubuntu 8.04). Thanks Lou

Flash 11 + Firefox 13 = badness
by Peter Laws 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

As in, the browser freezes as soon as it sees Flash content. All was well until I updated the other morning. Versions are currently Firefox 13.0 and Flash 11.2.202.235 all on Ubuntu natty with Trinity 3.5.13. Ideas for workarounds? Flash seems to work OK in Chrome, but I really prefer Firefox. -- 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?

nightly builds: lost wallet
by Dexter Filmore 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

KWallet did not ask me for my password and the daemon seems not to be running. Have to enter passwords each time I do something in kmail. not good. Kopete would be affected if it ran. Anything I can do about it at the moment? -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

what ver of (k)ubuntu is most suitable for tde
by Lou Gogan 16 Jun '12

16 Jun '12

Greetings Believe it or not I've only come across a reference to trinity in the last week or so when checking out porteus usb-stick linux. It really cheered me up that kde3 (as tde) is still not only alive but seemingly very healthy! At present I am still using kubuntu 8.04 for obvious reasons but would be delighted to install a more up-to-date os and tde on another partition on my hard drive. I have already downloaded kubuntu 12.04 (always in the hope, in vain, that it had somehow become more kde3 than kde4!) but I don't see any mention of (k)ubuntu 12.04 in the installation instruction page, so I presume I should use a release from last year. Also I notice that ubuntu 11.10 is mentioned rather than kubuntu 11.10. Is it recommended that I use ubuntu 11.10 rather than kubuntu 11.10 in case of conflicts? Or does it matter at all? I also have an iso of xubuntu 11.10 - would that be suitable? Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks Lou

Ubuntu 12.04 + TDE
by westbound＠gmx.net 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hello, yesterday i installed TDE (nightly builds) on top of Ubuntu 12.04. On login, all i get is a blank desktop with an equally blank xterm, nothing else. Oh yes, the first time i also got this: "cannot open theme file /opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubunty-trinity" I linked the tdm folder to the above, but nothing changed, except that the error message disappeared. Is this the current state of the project for 12.04, or am i doing something wrong? Thanks, Mike -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!

kpowersave 3.5.14
by Greg Madden 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

New laptop, installed Debian Wheezy AMD64, which is Debians current testing branch and TDE 3.5.14 from nightly builds., built for Wheezy. TDE is working well here. Since this is a laptop install I want to usekpowersave. I get the kpowersave icon in my systray but there is no inormation or options available when I right click on the icon. Package info suggests it supports ACPI, APM and PMU, screensaver, DPMS, among others. Any info on what apps TDE has available to manage or show laptop specific items would be appreciated. Thanks -- Peace, Greg

really weird trinity oddity
by Nix 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

Using Trinity trunk, finally (switched from KDE 3.5.10, yay!), there is one definite oddity. I use a program (xplanet) as my desktop background, and fvwm 2.6.5 with a 3x6 set of viewports. KDE 3.5.10 respected the program's refresh rate and reran it only when the requested interval passed, but Trinity is rerunning it whenever the viewport changes at all, Since I have viewport moves bound to keys and that can happen a dozen times a second, this is less than ideal. I thought maybe something in Trinity was looking at the _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Does anyone know why this might be happening? (I'm investigating further, of course.) -- NULL && (void)

Manual "save session" problem on latest Slavek packages
by Nick Leverton 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi Slavek, I've a small problem which has arisen lately since tracking your updates, which wasn't in 3.5.12 or 3.5.13. When I do a manual "save session", then the "saving session" dialogue box never goes away. In fact a second "save session" dialogue pops up, and they repeatedly take turns in forcing themselve to the foreground. This option is only available if you choose "Restore manually saved session" in kcontrol Session Manager settings so I guess not too many people may be affected. It's a bit awkward though as it's one option I do rely on. How can I help debug it further ?

How to make proper backtraces?
by Dexter Filmore 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Can't trace crashes. What would I need for, let's say, kopete. Is there a general approach? This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash. passprompt ptrace: Kein passender Prozess gefunden. /home/dexter/11345: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden. /home/dexter/.trinity/tmp-shodan/drkonqiPJG8gE.tmp:1: Error in sourced command file: No stack. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
