Use this +guide after installing &tde; and accompanying packages. This guide should be +a first point of reference for basic &tde; configuration questions, or +to learn to perform common tasks. + + +What this guide aims to be + +The first place to look and a one-stop location for questions +regarding &tde;. + +A quick guide to commonly performed tasks. In most cases, learning +basic functions does not require configuring every option in an application. +Provided in this guide is information that works +for most common situations, along with links to sources of +further information. + +There are also some tips and tricks showing useful features +of &tde; and ways to save time and effort. + + + + +What this book is not + +This guide is not intended to replace the individual application +handbook help manuals. Use the appropriate handbook to help with specific program +configuration and troubleshooting issues not covered in this guide. Where to find +additional information is provided when answers are outside the scope of this guide. + +Several applications provided outside the main &tde; suite +are mentioned in this guide, but mostly this guide covers only the +applications provided as part of the main suite. + +The user guide is not specific to a distribution and covers a default &tde; +installation. Local installations might be customized by +distribution providers, or end-users. Therefore advice provided in this guide is +generic. For example, file paths used to run files might be different than +described in this guide. + + + +Conventions used in this book + +The following formatting conventions are used: + + + + + +Type of Text +Style +Example + + + + + +Text appearing in the &GUI; (on buttons, &etc;) +Light gray background +Settings + + + +Names of keys +Bold font +&Ctrl; + + + +Menu entries +Menu Name->Menu Item +FileQuit + + + + +Key combinations (pressed simultaneously) +Modifier Key+Action Key +&Ctrl;Q + + + + +Text you should enter +Bold, fixed width font +ls -al tde/ + + + +Text you should replace as appropriate +Italic green font +user + + + + + + + +Mouse buttons often are referred to as the left mouse button and right mouse button. +Traditionally, the left mouse button is used the primary button to select items and the right +mouse button is used as the secondary button to open popup context menus. Within that context, +terms such as "left-click" and "right-click" have become common. Unfortunately, that terminology +describes the buttons from a right-handed perspective. For people using a mouse configured +for left-handed use, the roles of the buttons are reversed. That is, the right mouse button +becomes the primary button and the left mouse button becomes the secondary button. To avoid +confusion in this guide, that traditional terminology will be used as little as possible. +Although this guide is revised periodically, those traditional terms might still be used. + + + + +System Locations + +The following system location information might be useful: + + + + +&tde; prefix +&tde; installs into its own folder tree, which is found by +running the command tde-config . This folder is referred to +by the environment variable $TDEDIR and possibly +$TDEDIRS. + + + + +&tde; user-specific settings +The environment variable $TDEHOME +points to the folder where &tde; should find user-specific settings. +The default location is $HOME/.trinity. + + + + + + + + + +Overview, or <quote>Where to look in the User Guide</quote> + +Here's an overview of what's in the User Guide: + + contains an introduction to the basic +use of &tde;, such as , and the tools +used in all &tde; applications, like .

At the end of this part are suggestions for tweaking &tde; +in . + + highlights &tde;'s suite of +Internet applications. &tde; includes a powerful web browser, +&konqueror;, a full-featured email client, &kmail;, a news reader, +&knode;, and many more applications to use the Internet. +This part of the User Guide contains +information about configuring these applications. + + + + + + +The Desktop + + +The Basics +The desktopDesktop + is the name for the layout of +the screen when starting &tde;. The desktop might look slightly different, +but the main features should be the same as the following image. + + + + + + +A default desktop layout + + + + +Let us look at the most important parts: + +Most of the screen is +occupied by the backgroundBackground. With some distributions, +there might be a picture for the background. This picture is referred to as the +wallpaper,Wallpaper and can be changed by every user. + + +In the left-hand side are two icons: +Trash and Home. Selecting +these will open the Trash folder and Home +folder, respectively. Add more icons to the desktop as desired +to open favorite programs, or access removable media. + + +At the bottom is the &tde; PanelPanel, also known as +&kicker;. The Panel contains several useful ways of +interacting with &tde;. The Panel houses the &kmenu; button, from where +any &tde; application can be started. The Panel can be configured to show all the +programs that are running, as well as the date and time, and more. +Read for more +information about the &tde; Panel. + + + + + + + + + +Logging In and Logging Out +There are two ways to log into &tde;: graphically and via the +command line. + + +Logging in Graphically +login +&tdm; + +A screen similar to the one shown below means +the computer is ready for logging in graphically. + + + + + + +A typical TDM display + + + + + Enter a username in the +Username text box and password in the +Password text box. The password will not be shown +while typing, instead displaying as asterisks or dots. When finished, +select the Login button, or press the Enter key, +and &tde; will start. A &tde; splash image will appear, +and provide &tde; startup information. When done +&tde; will be ready to use. + + + +Logging in at the Command Line +starttde +startx + +For those preferring the command line, log in to &tde; +with the startx command. If necessary then in the +system or user .xinitrc file, add the line +exec starttde. &tde; should start the same way as +when logging in graphically. + + + +Logging Out +logout + +When finished using &tde; for the moment, then +log out until next time. The easiest way to do this is to +select the &kmenu; button + + + + + + + +at the bottom left of the screen, and then +select the Log Out... item. + + +Related Information +The &tdm; Handbook has information about using and configuring +the &tde; graphical login manager.
