K3b for Trinity
by Lisi 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I have Trinity set up on Squeeze and now want to install K3b. I most emphatically do NOT want anything KDE4. How do I set about it? Alternatively, a search of my emails retrieves the information that many of you have K3b by default. The fact that I do not have it, suggests that I did not install Trinity correctly, although I thought that I had meticulously followed the directions on Timothy's site. What ought I to have done, to have what I would regard as the sine qua non of a functional DE? (Of which K3b forms a part.) Thanks, Lisi

Proposal for Trinity Defaults for 3.5.13 (brainstorm)
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

All, I have been through the kcontrol settings looking at default setting that could be changed in 3.5.13 to reduce the number of settings that would need to be changed on each new install (at least for me). The idea is to make Trinity better right out-of-the-box. I know everybody has different 'preferences' and this isn't intended to try and dictate default settings by any stretch, but after numerous installs, it is clear that the current defaults would benefit from a few changes. The goal is the come up with a default set that minimizes the number of changes that the average user would normally make and to give Trinity the good clean default looks and behavior I have taken the time to create a web page to collect input and give the developers a handy reference to look at the next time they are in the defaults section of the code. Check it out and add your comments here: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Specifications/Developmen… I've taken a first cut and coming up with foswiki formatting that makes it readable (I'm not sure I succeeded). If you have a better idea for distinguishing kcontrol -> entry -> tab (1,2..) and making it more readable, feel free to have at it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Desktop/Terminal bug?
by Luciano ES 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Can you please confirm this bug? Minimize all apps, so the Desktop area is visible. Right-click an empty spot in the Desktop screen and select Open Terminal Here. Firefox is launched! If Firefox is already running, a new Firefox window launches. Weird! That menu has "Ctrl+T" next to the "Open Terminal Here" option. Indeed, when all applications are minimized and the Desktop screen is visible, Ctrl+T launches Firefox. Does that happen to you too? -- Luciano ES >>

Kmail nightmare
by Luciano ES 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

It's not that I want any special treatmente here, it's just that I do. Every time I boot/log in, I have to suffer through these bugs: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=428 http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=431 Bug #431 forces me to perform two checks before I can go on. Those are bad enough, but really bad is this bug with Kmail which is forcing me to log off and log in several times a day: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=438 This has just become unacceptable. I use my computer to work, and I need to check my mail several times a day. The damn thing keeps getting jammed over and over, I have to restart my session several times a day. And this is Linux, not Windows or Mac, so restarting a session actually means closing all my currently running apps then restarting them after I log in again. They start automatically, but it takes a while for them to be ready. It's not like Windows and Mac, where we can log off, come back and everything is still there up and running just the way we left it. And I have to reconfigure my keyboard every frigging time I log in. It's driving me nuts. Another very irritating thing is to think that I had none of these problems when I was using the 9.04 Trinity distro. How can software get WORSE? I just upgraded because... Well, pure peer pressure. Everywhere I go (forums, IRC) people keep telling me "yak yak, your OS is old as dust, upgrade already, yakety-yak". Damn, do I regret upgrading! But I just have NO TIME to go back now. I've wasted too much time already fine tuning the one I have now. Please, for the love of humanity, get Kmail fixed stat. Thank you for listening. -- Luciano ES >>

Any interest in collecting kthemes or color-schemes for Trinity?
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

All, I have a number of kde3 themes (and emerald themes) that I have created over the years that I'm happy to give to trinity if there is any interest in collecting them. Here is an example of a BlackGold (dark) theme that I have updated in Trinity: [165k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/dcrTrinityBlackGold.jpg The theme uses keramic style and a dark color scheme: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/cfg/color-schemes/dcrTrinityBlackG… (you may have to adjust the gold depending on monitor brightness :) The .kth files are a bit large for me to host at home. If you want to try the ktheme, (with font & icon settings, etc...) it is available here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/cfg/ktheme/dcrBlackGoldTrinity.kth Let me know if there is any interest in collecting these to either package or make available on the wiki. I probably have a dozen kthemes in varying darknesses and probably 100+ emerald themes. A sample of the emerald themes are available here: http://drankinatty.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0 I guess I could just upload the .kth files to deviantart as well..., but if you want to broaden the selection in Trinity -- they are all GPL. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

simple packages
by Werner Joss 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

hello all, I'm a fresh trinity user and so far, I like it :) so I decided to resurrect some of my favourite kde 3.x programs which are not in the trinity repos and built very simple (checkinstall-) packages from them. they can be found here: http://www.hoernerfranzracing.de/zip/trinity/ maybe someone here can use them, too. werner

konqueror and SOCKS
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Is there a way to get konqueror to work with a SOCKS proxy? I do this: $ ssh -D 12345 user@remote Iceweasel works fine when I set the proxy to SOCKS localhost:12345. now I'd like konqeror to use that SOCKS4/5 server on localhost. But whatever I check on the SOCKS tab, I get an error message. I tried tsocks, but konqueror still connects directly to the net. Does anybody have an idea? Nik

Hi, I installed LibreOffice, but the desktop integration package libreoffice3.3-debian-menus_3.3-6_all.deb does not work properly wit Trinity, e. g. Open a document does not work. Is that a Trinity problem? -- 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: Die Dummheit von Regierungen sollte niemals unterschätzt werden.
