Restructuring TDE donations - opinions wanted

by Michele Calgaro

Hi everyone, so far donations to the TDE project have always ended up to Tim. Although he is the founder of the project, he has not really been involved in the daily matters and development for several years. In the past there has been talks to establish a non-profit TDE organization, but this has yet to happen. With release R14.1.0 coming soon, I would like to propose for donations to be temporarily redirected to Slavek, till the TDE non profit organization is established. Once the organization comes to birth, the amount of donations can be transferred over to it. A transparent public account of donations could be setup, so everyone would be free to see how donations would be used. If Slavek needed to pay additional taxes due to the temporary donation income, I suggest those would be paid out of the donations themselves. What is your opinion? There is about a month before R14.1.0 is released, so it would probably leave just enough time to prepare the new setup. Cheers Michele

Konqueror Sorting

by Darrell Anderson

I thought I had read that Konqueror will provide some new sorting options in 14.1.0. If correct where can I read about the new options? In particular I am hoping I can sort with the following alphabetical case sensitive order when using detailed list and tree view: * Unhidden directories * Unhidden files * Hidden (dot) directories * Hidden (dot) files An extra bonus if the hidden directories and files are tinted with less emphasis to indicate they are hidden. Thanks.

Konqueror List View Quirks

by Darrell Anderson

Would somebody please confirm the following two behaviors? One === * Configure Konqueror to detailed list or tree view. * Select a file. * Use the keyboard cursor keys to move up and down the list. The selection block follows the cursor keys but not the highlighting. The highlighting seems to follow the cursor keys in icon view. Two === * Create two empty files: 0001 and 0002. * Rename 0002 to 0000. Konqueror does not automatically refresh the list to resort the files. A manual refresh is required. History ======= As far as I can see in my KDE 3 VM, both quirks are inherited from KDE3. Would these issues be easy to fix before 14.1.0? Thanks.

Tumbleweed has switched to GCC13 in 20230319. TDM loads, but doesn't respond to attempt to login.

# rpmqa gcc libgcc_s1-13.0.1+git6669-1.1.x86_64 TDM login greeter accepts passwd input, but doesn't respond to it via keyboard or mouse. Startx does start a functional TDE session. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Arts not initializing

by Darrell Anderson

I installed TDE 14.0.12 on another system. Arts fails to initialize correctly in that attempting to use media players results in no sound. The problem seems unique to this system and only with TDE. I have tried fiddling with the various arts configurations in TCC. Sound issues do not exist on this specific system with other desktop environments. Sound issues do not exist in other systems with TDE. Comparing $TDEHOME config files with the functional systems has not found anything helpful. Any ideas how to fix this issue? Thanks. DA

Embedding viewing

by Darrell Anderson

Konqueror seems designed to view everything in an embedded viewer. I found this bug report: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768 Is there an easy one-shot work-around to update konqueror so everything does not default to embedded view? Thanks. DA

Configuring TDM

by Darrell Anderson

I am trying to configure TDM. The default is some kind of black background. The login dialog is so dark of a gray that I can't read the black text in the dialog. This seems to be an os_enterprise theme? Is this the normal default? Using the TCC Login Manager module I was able to get something usable, but I had to manually edit the tdmrc file to Theme= (nothing) to kill that dark theme. The login dialog has a title bar with a caption that says 'Login to TDE'. Looking at the code this seems hard-coded? Can this be changed? Seems the caption should say 'Login' or possibly be dynamic to whatever session the user selects? Regardless of whatever session I select I get dumped into a terminal window shell. Seems something is misconfigured and TDM is not sourcing any xsession files. Appreciate any help. DA
