Kernel source doesn't match kernel?
by Luciano ES 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I am trying Ubuntu Maverick with Trinity 3.5.12, the live image I got from the trinity.pearsoncomputing.net site. I am testing how well it works before I do a potential upgrade. One of my tests includes installing VMWare. I couldn't make it work, VMWare complains that the source in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.whatever/include doesn't match the installed/running kernel, so it can't build the required modules. I got the source from the Adept Manager application (plus the build-essential package). Do you folks know anything about that? How can I get a kernel source that will match the running kernel? -- Luciano ES >>

Netbook built-in mic support
by Luciano ES 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

I am using Trinity with Ubuntu Jaunty, an old installation. I am considering an upgrade. Before trying the latest Trinity distribution, I tried Mint 9 (Isadora). I didn't like it, it messes up too much with KDE 3. It forces me to remove KDE 3/Trinity completely if I try to install buld-essential and/or kernel source. Incredibly stupid. There is only one thing I envy about Mint: it supports the built-in microphone on my netbook, so I don't have to hold an external mic when I'm using Skype. That's new to me, it's great news, and sound quality is pretty good too! I tested the Trinity 3.5.11/Lucid and 3.5.12/Maverick live images, and the mic does not work in any of them. Do you guys know how I can achieve that with a pure "Trinity distro" installation? Thanks in advance. -- Luciano ES >>

FW: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil)
by Rodrigo Zimmermann 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

From: barrigudo15(a)hotmail.com To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil) Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:55:08 +0300 There is an environment project work done by Brazilians, called SPT (Techisa Desktop Environment) and is also built using QT3. However, the project is currently inactive. I wish you the code offered by aproveitasseo Techisa Desktop Environment, after all its free software. Incidentally, I want to highlight a feature that I found this great working environment in Brazil: the possibility of application launchers monitor its implementation through the menu of right mouse button on the launcher. Another interesting feature is the window manager, which supports many themes that are not supported by Kwin. Who knows SPT-WM may become the next manager of Trinity windows Desktop Environment? Besides supporting more themes, SPT-WM is lighter than KWin. I wish I could see the code being reused Techisa Desktop Environment by this team.

[trinity-users] Squeeze users: amarok-trinity and SYSFS boot errors
by David Hare 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

amarok-trinity depends on libnjb5 (why?) As does gnomad2, although it was removed from squeeze (lenny version works fine here on squeeze) Maybe they will remove libnjb5. For anyone getting aggravated by many lines of sysfs error messages on boot it is because: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libnjb5;dist=unstable#_0_3… A quick fix (as root): sed -i 's|SYSFS|ATTR|'g /etc/udev/libnjb.rules

Hello, is there a simple way to get the three view mode buttons back? The patch in comment #15 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/43949 ) used to work in Kubuntu, but doesn't work on TDE 3.5.12. Thanks to everyone working on Trinity.

Sinhalese UTF8 shows up as squares
by Madura Anushanga 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi, I installed Trinity on Ubuntu 10.10 all the KDE 3 apps doesn't show Sinhalese letters(instead it shows squares) there are fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. It doesn't show the correct characters even when the font is forced. A friend said that openSUSE KDE shows Sinhalese characters correctly, is there a package that I should upgrade? - Madura A.

DCOP problems under maverick
by Stefan Endrullis 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hello list, recently I upgraded to maverick and suddenly experienced problems with DCOP commands which worked always fine under intrepid, jaunty, lucid, and karmic. It seems that the QString support has been removed from DCOP in maverick. When I call dcop yakuake DCOPInterface slotRunCommandInSession 'cd /' in a console I get the message cannot handle datatype 'QString' The 'cd /' command is of course not executed in yakuake. Moreover it seems that all DCOP functions that take any QString as parameter or return a QStrings are affected by this issue. In other words: yakuake (and maybe also some other programs) cannot be remotely controlled anymore which is a pitty because I used the remote controlling functionality daily. I used to press F2 in the krusader to open a yakuake session in the current directory, but this does not work anymore. Did someone else experience this problem? Does anybody know how it can be fixed? Regards, Stefan

Hello, list! Question is in subj of the message. Because as for me all (i mean, all, not only kde4) qt4 apps are much slower then they were on qt3. So, what are advantages of migration? -- Old mercenaries never die. They go to hell and regroup. With best regards, Mikle Krutov, Bercut ltd. Technical Support department
