Re: OpenOffice 4 wants gtk2-tqt-engine [SOLVED]
by J Leslie Turriff 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

Well, it turns out that my problem had nothing to do with Trinity (which is what I was assuming); there were bits of an older release of OpenOffice lurking in my system. I removed them and reinstalled OO, and it's working now. Thanks for your suggestions.

kate configuration
by D. R. Evans 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

At some point in the last year, kate started behaving differently here: when it opens a file for editing, there is now an extra column to the left of the contents of the file; the extra column shows the name of the file being edited. I can remove this extra column by hitting the word "Documents" which appears (rendered vertically) at the extreme left of the kate window. But I do get fed up of having to do this every single time I open a file for editing in kate. So how do I configure kate so that this additional column with the name of the file being edited no longer appears when kate opens a file for editing? (I looked at the kate configuration file, but nothing obvious struck me; searching the Internet also didn't produce anything useful that addresses this, but it's perfectly possible that I wasn't using a very good search string.)

konqueror servicemenus
by rody＠dds.nl 22 Jul '23

22 Jul '23

The konqueror servicemenus are used to provide a custom action when right-clicking a file on the desktop or in konqueror. In kde3 I would put the .desktop files I have in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus and they just work. In trinity, the correct place for these files seems to be $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. However, putting anything in there does not give me the corresponding actions when right-clicking a file that matches the correct mime-type. I also see a similar directory under /opt/trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus with lots of preconfigured actions. One of them I get to see when I right-click on a text-file, which is "Edit as root". So the servicemenus mechanism seems to be working, just not for my own .desktop files... What am I missing here? I'm using trinity 14.1.0 on a devuan 4 install without any other desktop environment.

View on more than one, but less than all Desktops?
by Michael 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

If you right click the Title bar of a TDE app (KMail) you get an ability to view the app on all the desktops or a single desktops (To Desktop). If you have 3 Desktops, is there any way to view the app on only 2 of the Desktops? If not, how much effort for our wonderful Dev's would this take? (If it's easy I'll go add it as an enhancement request, if it's a complete pita, it's not worth it.) Thanks, Michael

OpenOffice 4 wants gtk2-tqt-engine
by J Leslie Turriff 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

I'm trying to get OpenOffice to work (required by another software I want to use). I have successfully installed openoffice, but when I try to start any of its components it fails with "The application gtk2-tqt-engine (soffice.bin-gtk-tqt-application) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)." It looks like it's imbedded in OpenOffice? Not sure. I've attached a trace. Might be related to the desktop I'm using (Trinity)? Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64) Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

[offtopic] Cheap Windows Keys
by Michael 19 Jul '23

19 Jul '23

Okay, this is offtopic for this list*, and I'm not going to make this spam by listing the site selling these, so if you want the links reply to me personally. I needed a Win10 Pro key and found a legit one for under US $4. M$ even installed with it ;) The site recently sent me an additional 10% off Discount Code: “Chimp” , not sure if it works anymore. Here’s the current prices: $3.45 - Windows 10 Professional Retail Cd Key Microsoft Global $3.65 - Windows 11 Pro Cd Key Retail Microsoft Global $5.74 - Office 2021 Professional Plus Cd Key Global ISO Download activation $8.63 - Microsoft Office 2021 Home and Business MAC Cd Key Global Figured I'd share, especially if you help out non-profits or the like. Best All, Michael * As so noted in the Subject line, if you don't want to see off topic posts "[offtopic]", use your filters, duh.

outdated wiki information
by Thierry de Coulon 15 Jul '23

15 Jul '23

While I would not pretend being really a specialist, I do use Trinity (PSB) on MX-Linux. I noted that the installation instructions for MX say "latest version" 14.0.13" on a yellow background. This information is at least outdated. What should be done tu update this? Thierry

Hi In TDE14.1 the bug 2806 <https://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2806> became even worse, that is the system often hangs at the exit on the black screen even with the SDM patch!!! In my case that is Debian 11. Regards, Roman
