avoid "Ctrl-Ald-Del" in screen unlock dialog
by Ilya Dogolazky 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hi ! Every time I'm unlocking the TDE screen it's asking me "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to begin". First of all it's very annoying, but beside of that, I can't send "ctrl-alt-del" via the VNC connection, so I can't use my computer remotely (a similar problem with Windows OSes can be resolved by manipulating of registry database). How can I get the password entering dialog directly, without C-A-Del ? Cheers, Ilya

Blank Loading Screen
by Raevyn Vieria-Madison 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

I was going to install the previous ISO that was made based off of 10.10 except.. it loads up the option screen, then goes blank after some time and sits there. Its weird.. like the cursor is there as though it is at a command line, but nothing is popping up. This is only happening on my actual computer also.. as a virtual machine it isnt. Any ideas how to fix that behaviour? Rae

Building Trinity Failing - GIT source
by Mike Howard 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

New to the list so hi All, Happy New Year. I'm attempting to build TDE on a fresh Debian Wheezy install. I'm following the wiki at; http://trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild, but I'm having problems building tdelibs. I'm sure I managed beyond this point a week or so ago (fresh install since) so may be doing something stupid. I got and built qt3-3.3.8.d.tar.gz (into /opt/qt) and the TDE source with; git clone http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tde and following the wiki built tqtinterface and arts. Unfortunately, tdelibs fails. I'm building out of source with; cmake /path/tdelibs -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/trinity -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DWITH_QT3=ON -DQTDIR=/opt/qt -DQT_LIBRARY_DIRS=/opt/qt/lib -DBUILD_ALL=ON

Any problem with PPA's ?
by pierre.lag6633＠free.fr 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi, First, I use Trinity since the begining and I'm under 3.5.12 on a Debian Squeeze machine and it works like a charm since then. It's been a fantastic work and I'm so glad I can still use Kaffeine and some KDE "real" stuffs. Though, since a time I have some concerns with the ppa repositories. I've just tried the 3.5.13 versions of them but still there are some issues. I followed the "how to" for Oneiric under Linux Mint LISA and Debian Squeeze (under Debian Squeeze, of course). Did I miss something ? Errors description (sorry some sentences are in french) for both systems are following. Of course if any other information is needed, feel free to ask for it. Thanks in advance for any clue and happy new year.

how to get rid of old KDE packages?
by Frank Lienhard 03 Jan '12

03 Jan '12

I've updatet from lenny/KDE3 to squeeze/trinity, but still have not managed to get rid of some kde-packages. e.g I found 'kdebase-runtime' still installed, which is needed by 'cervisia', which is recommented by 'quanta-trinity' (even so there is a cervisia-trinity). als there is a kdelibs5-plugin installed. Is there a shortcut to get rid of all the unnecesary kde packages?

screen saver/lock not working on the second monitor
by Ilya Dogolazky 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hi ! I'm running TDE on a system with two monitors. Whenn I'm clicking the lock symbol only the primary monitor is cleared, the information on the second monitor is still visible (but it's locked in the sense that no input from mouse or keyboard is possible). How can I make screen saver use both monitors? Cheers, Ilya

Strange behaviour using removable media - Squeeze & Konqueror
by Ken Heard 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1. I recently upgraded one of my three computers from Debian Lenny to Squeeze with KDE-Trinity 3.5.13. (The other two computers still have Lenny with KDE 3.5.10.) 2. The default view profile when Trinity Konqueror is loaded is “File Management”. That profile is configured to load Konqueror with two tabs, the first one being “system:/media” and the second one “/home/$USER/docs”, but with the contents of the second tab displayed on the monitor. 3. When a user logs on for the first time, opens Konqueror and clicks on the “system:/media” tab no content is shown. If however the user closes Konqueror, opens it a second time and clicks on the “system:/media” tab a second time, now the tab lists all the “Remote Shares”. Why is this list shown on second and subsequent times of opening Konqueror, but not the first time? 4. This box has three removable media drives installed: a DVD drive, an Iomega Zip 750 drive and a 9 cm floppy drive. Installing a CD or DVD drive causes the “Removable Media KDE daemon” to open in a separate window but also adds another line to the “system:/media” tab which identifies the installed medium by name, e.g., “Trips001”. It is then possible to mount this medium from the “system:/media” tab, read its contents and ultimately either to unmount or eject it. The last two operations cause the identifying line to disappear. 5. Two Zip 750 disks are normally used for backups in this box; but Konqueror does not behave the same way for each one. Installation in the drive of one of the disks will cause a new line to be added to the “system:/media” tab, “ZIP750” which corresponds to the mount point for this drive (UUID=348F-3C8C) established in “/etc/fstab”. It is then possible to mount this medium, read from it, write to it and ultimately unmount it. On unmounting the “ZIP750” line disappears. 6. Installation of the other Zip 750 disk in the same drive opens a *different* new line in the “system:/media” tab. Instead of reading “ZIP750” it reads “752M removable media”. Konqueror will not permit mounting or unmounting this particular Zip 750 disk; it says that the user does not have permission to open this disk and that this device node does not appear in “/etc/fstab”. This disk can however be mounted (and unmounted) in an Xterm. Once mounted in that way it will show up in the “system:/media” tab as mounted and can be read from and written to in that tab. So, why do two Zip 750 disks installed in the same drive behave differently in Konqueror? 7. At this point it occurred to me that the first Zip 750 disk was, so to speak, a virgin disk; whereas the second was not. The second in fact had tarballs of files in the Squeeze box but written to it from a Lenny box. So, I decided to restore the “virginity” of the second by running in the Squeeze box “mkfs.vfat /dev/sda4”, which of course obliterated those files. I then tried in the Squeeze box to mount it both in an Xterm and in the “system:/media” tab of Konqueror; it would not mount at all in either place. I then went back to the Lenny box, logged in as the user whose files are in the Squeeze box and was able to write to this disk backup tarballs of files in the Squeeze box. I took this disk back to the Squeeze box and was now able to open it there in the “system:/media” tab as “750M removable media” and to perform all the usual removable disk functions. I also however discovered that now I cannot mount either Zip 750 disk from an Xterm. When I try I now receive the message “I could not determine the file system type and none was specified.” Strange. 8. For both these two drives, the DVD and the Iomega Zip 750, the “Removable Media KDE daemon” opens. Since I prefer to open these in a Konqueror tab instead of in a new window, I would like to be able to prevent that daemon from opening in a new window. Is there a way to do so? 9. Finally, the floppy drive is not recognized at all in the Squeeze box. With a disk installed it does not show up in the “system:/media”, nor can it be mounted in an Xterm. What, if anything, be done to use floppies with Squeeze and KDE-Trinity Konqueror?

Problem with KMail 1.9.9
by Lisi 29 Dec '11

29 Dec '11

Hi! I am switching my husband from Thunderbird to KMail, as I would rather have him on KMail. But I have promised him that I will make it look as similar as possible to what he is used to, so that nothing that he does needs to be different. I know his way of working, and this is achievable. Except.... Except for my current problem. Yesterday I started to set KMail up, and made a few entries before I had to go. Today I switched off the favourite folders pane, went to carry on setting up where I left off - and noticed that there was no inbox. Obviously I can create a folder called Inbox, but it puts itself at the bottom of the default folders list with a standard folder icon, instead of at the top of them with the inbox icon. Furthermore, the few settings I entered yesterday have disappeared. :-( PEBKAC is a definite possibility, given that I haven't been well and am on a large dose of a strong antibiotic, but even if it is my fault, I still need to put it right. I have tried to purge and then install, but that seemed to intend to remove most of the desktop. So I ran aptitude reinstall. Nothing changed. I ran aptitude autoclean, aptitude reinstall, no joy. I then went on to Google. There was lots on disappearing emails, but nothing on disappearing folders. And that was after I had managed to get rid of most of the KDE4 stuff. So, help!! Thanks, Lisi
