Is there a panel applet to add only a Lock Session button rather than the combo Lock/Logout applet? Thanks.

Konqueror List View Quirks
by Darrell Anderson 26 Mar '23

26 Mar '23

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.

Arts not initializing
by Darrell Anderson 14 Mar '23

14 Mar '23

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 13 Mar '23

13 Mar '23

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 11 Mar '23

11 Mar '23

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

gtk-qt-engine
by Darrell Anderson 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

Can someone verify some gtk-qt-engine package weirdness? * Ensure another DE is installed. * Remove any traces of TDE from /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. * Disable related TDE /etc/profile.d scripts. * Boot into the other DE. * Launch a terminal window. * Ensure no traces of TDE are in the environment variables, $PATH, etc. * Type a GTK GUI command to launch. * Verify TDE is trying to intercept the command to control the GTK theme. In my case I was trying to launch meld from the command line. I repeatedly encountered a TDE crash dialog: TDECrash: Application 'python-gtk-tqt-application' crashing. The message is derived from the package qt_qt_wrapper.cpp. This happened to me in both KDE and Xfce. Removing the gtk-qt-engine package resolves the problem. Being buggy or stale code is one thing, but why is TDE and the gtk-qt-engine package even functional when using a different DE? DA

Environment variables with root
by Darrell Anderson 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

What is the preferred way to configure environment variables for root? The starttde script establishes environment variables for the user's session, but those settings do not apply to root. Running su - results in the loss of these environment variables. The same happens when using the konsolesu.desktop and konquerorsu.desktop files. Environment variables such as $PATH do not include $TDEDIR/bin. So although the su - session is in a full TDE session, no TDE commands can be used unless typing full paths. When using konquerorsu.desktop, Konqueror launches okay but odd things happen. The Settings dialogs are empty. The Help button in those empty dialogs fails to find the Konqueror handbook. The handbook functions fine from the main Help menu. When launching Konq this way there seems to be something hard-coded to $HOME/.trinity. I have $TDEHOME configured to $HOME/.tde rather than $HOME/.trinity and $TDEROOTHOME configured to /root/.tde rather than /root/.trinity. These variables are exported globally on login through /etc/profile.d. Yet launching Konq as root results in these environment variables being ignored and $HOME/.trinity is created with default configurations. I do not mind learning I am doing something wrong but I do not know where to look. Thanks. DA
