I don't know the logic of the underlying code, but look in the installed d3lphin.desktop file. You'll find two keys: MimeType and InitialPreference. Experiment with commenting out one or both and see how that affects your usage. You might need to restart Trinity or delete your tdesycoca cache files. Probably the best experiment is with a temporary fresh profile. That way no profilerc changes will affect anything. I don't believe a distro-specific patch should be necessary. We should patch the behavior for everybody. Dolphin should not override anything until the user explicity starts doing so in the file association configurations. Which reminds me of a discussion we had a long time ago: which apps should be the defaults for opening different types of files. We never concluded that discussion or decided anything. Darrell

By the way,please share the exact steps you used that I can duplicate that prompted you to start this discussion. :) I'd like to test this further with other apps too. Darrell

That is the only way anything gets tracked. Personally, while I admit not understanding the technical details, I don't why Trinity should be restarted for anything. Trinity should reinitialize itself. Darrell

My best guess is possibly only Fedora, but I don't know because I do not try to keep pace with that kind of information. Slackware does not use systemd at all with no such plans. There is consolekit support. Darrell

I have that set to 2 seconds on all of my systems, including my PI and PII clunkers. Yes, 60 seconds seems absurd. Darrell

UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?

by David C. Rankin

All, Usually I just turn the icons off, but I was testing things. First strange behavior was when I turned off Printers, Web Browser, and My Network Places, a new 'System' icon magically appeared on my desktop. So I opened it, and it opened in dolphin - you're kidding right? Then I tred My Computer and Home on the Desktop and both opened in dolphin.... Why does 'Home' on the desktop open in that crippled dolphin while home from kicker open correctly in konqueror file manager? That just seems odd. I don't know where these hooks are made, but I would like to be able to set any desktop icons to open in konqueror instead of dolphin (dl3phin). -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Crystal Window Theme

by Patrick "Kai" Baker

I was searching themes for my TDE install and found Crystal: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal?content=13969 It's source so I tried to set it up but the configure script doesn't generate a Makefile. I get this error at the end: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! I'm not sure what is being referred to by "KDE prefixes" nor how to fix it. I've been using TDE for a while and I'd like to contribute but I'm new to software engineering and I have no idea where to start when dealing with a project as big as TDE. But I would like to contribute by fixing this problem but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any help which can lead me in the right direction will be appreciated. Kai

tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed.

by David C. Rankin

Tim, All, This is an error I mentioned earlier, that will need to be fixed for R14. tdeio opens sftp connections fine, but is not closing them. That means for every remote sftp call (i.e. opening/browsing each folder) a separate sftp process is opened, but never closed. The errors when browsing a remote folder look like: tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed.

[tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: sftpRead: read failed with code 1 The result is you have numerous sftp processes left open. This was just a quick open and save a screeenshot on host:nirvana and a quick open/browse tde folder on host:phoinix, but I now have the following sftp processes running on my box: 1131 ?
