Installed Plasma... both in Trinity and Plasma file transfer OK even in Trinity now it is faster than Plasma, should I leave it like this?

Yes, you can safely keep Plasma within your system now. We are going to perform some investigation and post the results here. We may need some additional info as the investigation goes further.

Are you using Quarkos now ? You may also install Q4OS in the same manner to get the proper transfer speeds.

As soon as we fix the issue, you can remove Plasma or make a fresh Trinity desktop install.

Anyway, thanks for the valuable reporting.

No now I'm using Q4OS with a basic Trinity installation and the addition of Plasma, the desktop I use is Trinity... ok I remain available for any other tests even if I would like to do one now, how can I remove Plasma and leave only Trinity to see if the problem occurs again?

Just run in terminal:
$ sudo apt --purge autoremove *plasma* *sddm*
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
It will not remove all of, but most of.Plasma components.

Reboot and report what happens.

Edit:
You also need to run:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
to get TDM login screen active

Thanks I try

After removing Plasma file transfer = slow.
Reinstalling Plasma on Trinity, speed = fast

q4osteam · 2025-05-14 19:04

So we need to find the specific package that makes the difference. If you notice anything valuable, let us know.

Could this be an issue regarding file managers? Trinity uses Konqueror, KDE uses Dolphin. It may indirectly affect how the file transfers are managed.

Possible, but not very likely. Dolphin could install some dependency that would affect low level "rsync" command, maybe.

The "fuse3" and "libfuse3-3" packages are suspicious.

I had thought about this too and tried to install Nemo, Dolphin and Nautilus... the result did not change, the file manager is not the problem

There may be a difference between the trinity-dolphin package and the dolphin package(or any trinity- package versus a non-trinity package file manager) used in KDE. I run Plasma exclusively and have never had issues with slow file transfer.

Whats interesting is KDE that Ive used with other distros well in the past, has also had issues with slow file transfers.

In fact, that's what we're trying to solve... if I install Q4OS Trinity I have file transfer problems, but if I install Plasma I have no speed problems and I even did another test, I installed Q4OS Trinity and updated the Desktop Environment in Gnome... file transfer speed = high!
The problem is only in "pure" Trinity

q4osteam · 2025-05-15 15:09

You could also try to install packages "fuse3" and "libfuse3-3" and see if it affects the speed:
$ sudo apt install fuse3 libfuse3-3

@crosscourt
Interesting fact is, that transfer speeds are low if you stop Trinity desktop completely too. Just with "rsync" command, see https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.ph … 609#p29609

Sorry should I try on Trinity with slow transfer or now that the transfer is fast?
Thanks

q4osteam · 2025-05-15 16:50

Try to install packages on the Trinity with slow speed, reboot and see if it makes speed higher,

crosscourt · 2025-05-15 18:20

@q4osteam, I missed that in the discussion, thanks for the link.

Sorry for respons in italian but I'm Italian

Thanks, so we need to check another libraries, that could affect the USB data transfer.

Yes,that is fine, no need to translate system messages

Just to complete the information, after installing Plasma or Gnome on Trinity and verifying that the file copy was fast, without uninstalling Gnome or Plasma I ran the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
the copy speed is slow again

Is it reproducible anytime you configure Trinity display manager as default ? Great, this is very important info, we seem getting closer to a resolution.

So would you now run the following test please ?
- Start with Trinity desktop with slow speed and Trinity TDM display manager as the default. Checkpoint-1
- Install sddm display manager, but no Plasma:
$ sudo apt install sddm-theme-breeze sddm
Make SDDM the default display manager:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm
- Reboot and login to Trinity desktop
- Check the speed, Checkpoint-2
Make Trinity TDM the default display manager:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
- Reboot and login to Trinity desktop
- Check the speed, Checkpoint-3

Report back transfer speeds.

Result.

After Checkpoint-1 velocity = Slow

After Checkpoint-2 velocity = Slow

After Checkpoint-3:

ino@mino-6730s:~$ rsync -ah --progress /home/mino/Prova/Andor.avi /media/mino/TOSHIBA\ EXT/prova
sending incremental file list
Andor.avi

Slow for all checkpoints. It's also helpful, however we haven't reveal the culprit so far. Investigating continues.

Would you perform another try please ?
Install Q4OS 6 Andromeda Trinity edition https://sourceforge.net/projects/q4os/files/testing/ , Basic profile.. Test the transfer speeds in both, the live media and installed system.

Warning, Q4OS 6 is testing alpha and not usable for production. Expect some things may not work well at the moment.
