Greeter on wrong display
by Felix Miata 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

I have a PC with 2560x1440 on DisplayPort, and 1920x1080 on HDMI. The greeter shows up on the small HDMI screen. Is there something in tdmrc or friends that can move it to the DP screen, and preferably, start off TDE sessions by default with the larger/DP screen as the primary? I know how to use xrandr to make the DP primary, but it's not working for the login greeter. It tried it in /etc/trinity/tdm/Xsetup, but it's apparently ignored or otherwise ineffective there. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Trinity on HD+ display
by Thierry de Coulon 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

I know we allready has this in some way. I now have a new-old (mean second hand) Lenovo X1 Tablet (because I need the touchscreen). Installing MX-Linux " TDE was quite easy and, so far, everything runs fine (I have not tried sleep/hibernate yet). The machine has a (nice) display with a 3000x2000 resolution. Xfce takes care of this with a gtk setting that lets "multiply" everything by two. So far I have "adapted" TDE by choosing bigger icons. I seem to remeber there was some other place where I could also make things bigger - I'll find it. Just wanted to know if anyone with experience with such a display has developped a "good" way to scale Trinity. Thierry

the mouse on the extreme right and left
by ajh-valmer 09 Feb '22

Hello, when I approach the mouse arrow on the extreme right and left in a open window (konqueror, konsole...), the window disappears for another window opened, it's unpleasant in the long run. Maybe, the border of the window has a space with the screen, how to put it at zero ? The automatic settings of the screen doesn't solve the problem. Cheers, André

I'M BAAAACK!

I am back, and I am wanting to give TDE another shot. But this time, I am coming to you from Fedora 35! I see there's a way to install TDE in Fedora 35 So what I will prob do is a Fedora XFCE spin install And then do... Install the minimalistic Trinity Desktop Environment: dnf install trinity-tdebase And then all of the programs that I use on a daily basis, install as flatpaks to where I can use some newer, up to date apps. And of course make THUNAR my file manager... Konq is just bleh.... Does all of this sound ok? Or is there anything that you would tweak? Thanks, Chris

by ajh-valmer 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello again, Konqueror with Buster Debian 10, had a files search bar above, on the right, just next to the address bar. (filter to see some files not all). This bar, very useful, has disappeared on Bullseye Debian 11. I don't see in Konqueror configuration, how to put it again... Happy sunday, André

Kmail SMTP Error - tdeio-smtp?
by Hunter Ellett 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

I am unable to send my emails to this group on Kmail due to the following error: "Authorization failed, Authentication support is not compiled into tdeio_smtp. authentication not supported" I've had this problem on FreeBSD and Devuan before where my emails wouldn't send but never got an error message. Usually it would start to work after some time. But here I get this error consistently, I even tried to rebuild tdepim and tdelibs. I don't know which package has tdeio_smtp but the Slackbuild seems to build without this support. -- ~ Hunter Sent from my Android device with K9 Mail

Dear all, I am a long-time and happy user of the Trinity desktop, which is a wonderful continuation to KDE 3.x. I am try to sep up my laptop to automatically "Suspend to RAM" after a given time without user activity, but i can't figure out the setting. Could you please give me some pointers? The configuration: Thinkpad T400 (RAM 4go) Q4OS 3.15.2-n1 (Debian 10 Buster-based, 64bit distribution) The following interactive commands work: sudo systemctl suspend sudo bash && echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state Best regards

I have Ctrl+D to continue in recovery mode or type root passwd. Only one solution, type "killall tdm" to connect to tde-desktop. > If you see this message, give it a Ctrl+D first (without logging in) and > see what happens and if you get the tdm login screen afterwards > or not. Cheers Michele Hi Michele, /var/log/tdm.log exists but empty. /var/log/tdm.1.log : "info: Cannot open master configuration file /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmdistrc". tdmdistrc doesn't exist in this folder. I can login to tde-desktop with lightdm, not with tdm-trinity. (even after a dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity). Now I have a clear understanding what happens without to be able to repair. The file /run/user/1000/ICEauthority is : -rw------- 1 andre andre 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority It becomes automatically quickly : -rw------- 1 root root 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority, after I receive the error messages allready indicated, DCOPserver and /home/andre./.Xauthority not writable : -rw------- 1 andre andre 59 22 déc. 17:18 .Xauthority It seems that there is a conflict between two users, root and andre. Thanks. Bye, cheers, André

Restore "classic" TDM look/functionality
by Hunter Ellett 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

In Slackware and also on FreeBSD (the latter if I recall), TDM has a different look than when I install it on something like Devuan for example. Particularly it has a rounded and transparent KDE4 "Oxygen" look to it, and the options in the Display Manager module do not work when this kind of TDM is installed, like adding a clock, the logo, or changing the widget style. Tdmtheme is not installed. I thought it was tdmtheme that changed it to look like this out of the box but it doesn't seem to be related. It looks to be the default in certain TDE ports. Secondly to keep from posting twice I also can't access the Display Manager module. If I click on it the window does not open, and I'm not sure what it depends on that I may be missing since this is on Slack. -- ~ Hunter Sent from my Android device with K9 Mail
