I have actually had problems getting some Trinity applications to run under Windowmaker. Setting TDE path did not seem to help much. Amarok 1.4 simply crashes with an std::out along the lines telling me to start amarokapp instead (which doesn't give me a GUI). I installed Clementine in the mean time. Other apps work, but they can't read some variables or TDE configuration properly. So for example Konquerer has no way to remember what file associations I have set. If I set new ones, it forgets them instantly. It needs to be told what command to run every time a file is opened. What could cause this? -- bonkmaykr Sent from Proton Mail Android -------- Original Message -------- On 10/1/24 7:09 PM, David C.
