Synaptic and Trinity
by Volker Wysk 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello The synaptic package manager comes with two .desktop files: /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop /usr/share/applications/synaptic-kde.desktop The first one contains: NotShowIn=KDE; The second one: OnlyShowIn=KDE; Calling synaptic in the application menu calls the first one (the two program names/menu entries are identical). A broken root password entry box appears - the path of the executable which should be called with root privileges is empty. I'm wondering if the NotShowIn/OnlyShowIn directives are the cause of the problem. I've experimented in adding "Trinity;" to "KDE;", but without success. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks, Volker

White text wanted on dark blue desktop
by Lisi 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

I am setting up a Squeeze+Trinity box to demonstrate to someone with very poor sight. He is also a newbie, which means that everything must be fully labeled. I want to be able to show a light background to the desktop with dark/black text under the (enlarged) icons and a dark background with white text. This is something I have done in the past with KDE 3.x, but can't remember how. It is desirable, because many partially sighted people find white on black easier to read than black on white. This chap may not, hence my wanting to show him both. Help, please. Thanks, Lisi

On a MEPIS 8.5 amd64 system, I followed the lenny instructions at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#debian and all worked except sudo apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity Reading package lists...

Mounting of DVD, USB
by HHa 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi, the mounting is not done automatically after inserting/plugging in a Medium. My /etc/fstab looks like this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=39dce7bc-28c6-4d48-a3e1-b2d48712856e / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=f5355ad1-6de9-497b-a8d4-e2abe7336d4d none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 #/dev/sda10 /windows/F vfat rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda10 /windows/F vfat utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1 #/dev/sda9 /windows/E vfat rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda9 /windows/E vfat utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1 #/dev/sda5 /windows/D vfat rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda5 /windows/D vfat utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windows/C ntfs rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda3 /kubuntu ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sda7 /kubuntu/home ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Haase Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Ohne Zensur suchen: http://suche.amnesty-bergedorf.de/ ökologisch suchen: http://www.ecosia.de Das heutige Motto: Hoffnung ist ein gutes Frühstück, aber ein schlechtes Abendbrot.

Partial Installation Recommendation
by Ed Hurst 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Is there a recommended collection of packages for someone who would prefer to add Trinity, rather than have it fully replace, say GNOME? For example, I understand the necessity of replacing sudo, but I don't want to replace my boot splash. -- Ed Hurst -------- Open for Business - http://ofb.biz/ Kiln of the Soul - http://soulkiln.org/ blog - http://soulkiln.blogspot.com/

Fonts for Gnome-based programs
by HHa 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Hi, can I say in the Control Center that Gnome-based programs should use the KDE fonts? If yes, where? -- Viele Grüße, Hartmut Hungerhilfe: http://www.thehungersite.com Ohne Zensur suchen: http://suche.amnesty-bergedorf.de/ ökologisch suchen: http://www.ecosia.de Das heutige Motto: Lerne, als würdest Du hundert Jahre alt werden, aber lebe, als würdest Du morgen sterben.

Konversation: Settings not being applied
by Kristopher Gamrat 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I finally got my hard disk in and I've installed Debian Squeeze using a basic install (base plus laptop stuff plus ssh server, no GUI or anything else). From there I installed Trinity. All seems fine, except that konversation isn't displaying time stamps in the chat window even though it shows as enabled in the configuration window for Konversation, and it won't display the tray icon when I enable that. I am also noticing that it isn't adding the option to enable the tray icon to ~/.trinity/share/config/konversaitonrc and that ~/.trinity/share/apps/konversation/ is emtpy, yet I have ownership and both read and write permissions in both. I remember seeing an issue on the mailing list before that autorun settings in Kcontrol weren't saving but the fix is unrelated to chat, and autorun is working fine here anyway. Are there any konversation users around that can help? -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager

Alt and Meta
by Volker Wysk 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi! I want to allocate Alt as Alt, and the two Windows-Keys as Meta. I had this set up, using xmodmap. But after upgrading KDE it no longer works, neither with Trinity nor with KDE4. It looks like KDE3/4 does the allocation on its own now. Does anyone have an idea how this can be done? Cheers, V.W.
