downloading TDE...
by Patrick Serru 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hello everyone, By reading one of the last posts, I thought I could maybe try to compile TDE ... Until now, every time I looked at the documentation, I found far too complicated for a simple French technician. Beginning with CVS, which I find as friendly as a prison door. Finally: re-trying... user @ system :/.../ bin / TDE $ svn co svn: / / anonsvn.kde.org / home / kde / branches / trinity. / A... ... A kdeutils / kdelirc / profiles / Makefile.am svn: Compression of data failed svndiff "Compression of svndiff data failed!" What can I do with this mistake! The problem probably occurred on the server, the client must unpack only, I suppose ... I ask but no matter the answer. TDE is the system that I use as much as possible (I use the old to manipulate sounds with Audacity and sometimes to use LibreOffice). I am not using a virtual machine ... My dream is to compile TDE 3.5.12, on something like Arch Linux or Suse 10.3, that is: a distribution without SELinux. I also had the dream of helping the development of TDE, but you will understand from reading this post that will remain only a dream. There is no question in this post, but where should I indicate the existence of this "Compression of data svndiff failed" error? This is not a bug, is it? I talk about this error here because I noticed that the developers also read this list ... I love TDE an thank the developpers for the nice job they have done and still do. Good luck to everyone, Patrick

Hello, I have installed Google Chrome by downloading .DEB file from Google Chrome's website and installed it. Now the problem is when I download any file from Google Chrome than it can't save. I can click on download link and see Save file dialog box and I click on Save button and box closed. But I can't see that file. I am doing save in Firefox and it saves file perfectly. How to make the save working in Google Chrome? - Bimal

cmake problem
by Werner Joss 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

hi all, I'm just trying to figure out how to build cmake based trinity applications from source. svn checkout works ok. cmake is available. also everything to build kde3/trinity stuff from source (at least for auto* based modules). now when I try e.g. to build dolphin from svn (cmake based) I get this: cmake /home/josswern/tmp/kdesvn/dolphin -- The C compiler identification is GNU -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done -- checking for one of the modules 'tqt' CMake Error at cmake/modules/TDEMacros.cmake:20 (message): ################################################# Unable to find tqt! so, I'obviously missing something called tqt anyone here can tell me how to get it ? werner p.s.: perhaps I should better ask on trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net ?

Kubuntu Trinity 10.10, dual monitors with Xinerama?
by Dan Youngquist 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

I booted the CD, copied the dual-monitor w/Xinerama xorg.conf from the hard disk to /etc/X11, logged out & back in, and no second monitor or Xinerama. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu; is there some trick I don't know to make this work? -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Trinity on newer Dell
by Peter Laws 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Haven't been having luck with a new Dell Precision T5500n (2 x dualcore "E5503" and 12 GB RAM). The problem seems to be the ATI FirePro V7800 card. I can install Ubuntu Natty on it no problem. However, when I try to load the preconfigured Trinity/Maverick disc, I get the little "keyboard = human" screen and can escape to the menu, but when I try to "try Kubuntu without installing" I get the Kubuntu logo with the progress dots ... then nothing. In fact, nothing with the monitor icon indicating that the display lost the signal. Can I install the Trinity packages onto an Ubuntu Natty installation instead?

At this point fixing it is a low priority, as the cause of the problem is buried deep within complex auto-signing code that is broken on this repository only. The official release repository works correctly as far as signing is concerned. > Thanks, Tim, for not forcing me (and the rest of us) to have to make a > new desktop layout just because KDE4 is "better" in some programmer's > mind.

You are more than welcome! :-) Of course at this point other members of the Trinity development team deserve some of the credit as well, especially Serghei Amelian, whose work was instrumental in getting the core system to compile on modern Linux distributions.

Can't install Trinity nightly builds on lucid - Missing "ttf-bitsream-vera"
by Schreiberstein 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hello! :-) I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit Alternate (command line only) and I'd like to install Trinity's nightly builds on it. But I can't install them because of a missing dependency : ttf-bitstream-vera. ttf-bitstream-vera is included in hardy, maverick, natty and oneiric, but not in lucid. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera) Output : -------- alex@schreiberstein:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: kubuntu-desktop-trinity: Depends: ttf-bitstream-vera but it is not installable Recommends: kubuntu-docs-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: networkstatus-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: openoffice.org-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: skim but it is not going to be installed Recommends: system-config-printer-kde-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo-trinity but it is not installable E: Broken packages -------- Could you please fix it? btw. Trinity ROCKS! It's soo amazing! Thanks for keeping KDE3 alive!! Greetings from germany : Alex

Will I get all my old window layout, etc, back? If you move .kde (or .kde3 depending on if you were using an early version of Trinity on the old box) to .trinity after you tar up the old box, then yes. > > Also, in previous incarnations, there was usually a fight on installation with the X-config stuff to get both displays to work.

If your card supports XRandr 1.3 or above (i.e. pretty much anything except the nVidia proprietary drivers) you can try the new Monitor & Display utility in the control panel. Tim
