Greetings to those of you who like Slackware, like me, but prefer the
Trinity desktop more so then the KDE4 desktop, I have completed my
personal build script, for the Trinity desktop to compile and
installation, on *Slackware 14.1* - using - *Trinity r14.0.1*. The
source code was downloaded from the Git repository and modified to suite
my needs. I hope you like it.

Thank you to all the other Trinity Desktop enthusiasts who have help me
get this far!
Hi Guys,
I need to save and transfer all my Kmail, Knode settings and passwords
to a new machine running Jessie/TDE desktop. However the machine I
need to transfer from is 32 bit and the new one is 64 bit, I don't
know if that makes a difference.
Which files do I need to copy over ? I've already done a backup
of "Home" though some files didn't copy at all but I think that they
were things like sockets.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sad how this list has degenerated to a platform for political or even "compassion" offtopic drivel.
This is not doing the cause any good.
This is the time to unsubscribe after years of mostly silent reading, as I am not willing to take all this ruthless spam anymore.
Even sadder that not even the maintainer has any articulate opinion on this verbal contamination.
Hello All,
I didn't mean to start a debate. I don't think this is the place to discuss
politics or religion in any depth. That being said, I have this last thing to
say.
My clan is old, we have made an effort to be existentialists. I think we did a
grand job of it. During our time we've come to some simple conclusions.
With very few exceptions, war rarely achieves any positive goals.
War services only the few.
Violence is rarely an answer.
The differences between a soldier and a terrorist are simple.
A terrorist will take a life for his beliefs,
a soldier will save a life.
A soldier believes in the preservation of innocence and freedom
a terrorist doesn't believe they exists.
A terrorist will celebrate and bask in the death of his enemies,
a soldier will morn them and see their deaths as his failure to do his duty.
All children, everywhere, are innocent.
Regardless of who pulled the trigger, a crime was committed. Regardless of
what uniform one wears.
We must defend ourselves, we must prevent our extinction, the extinction of
our freedoms, our way of life, of our innocent and innocence, but not at the
extinction of another.
Let's spare this forum political debates. Politics has never served anyone of
any value and was created by the near worthless, to serve their goals. Walk
away from it and learn to live in peace.
I'm sorry for the disruption I've caused, it was not my intent. I had hoped it
would be clear that any life lost, is something to morn for. I still think of
the girls that were kidnapped from some middle eastern school to serve
as "wives". I think of the children killed in that callous drone attack.
If you need to hate, hate the chess players, both of them. Not the chess
pieces.

I'm so sorry, everyone, that was meant to go privately to Steven. I am
getting thoroughly incompetent in my old age and I can only apologise and ask
you to use the delete button.
Lisi
Ok full stop to all of this. Just stop.
This is a forum for development of free open source software and not a
plateform for political debate. Nor is my emotional sentiment.
This comes to a full stop now.

Because I have now been contacted via my personal email by 3 different
people on this list I'm going to say to anyone who thinks it is appropriate
to contact someone only to then boss them about or be rude to them you are
mistaken.
I'm a Trinity user and as a Trinity user I will voice my opinion regarding
any topic that comes up on this list. If my opinion upsets anyone I
formally tend my apology. I will not stand back however and have anyone
contact me privately and have a go at me when the topics are on the list
for the entire global population to see and read. If you don't like a
certain discussion discussion it is your right to stay out of it, no one is
forcing you to take part in it but do not contact someone privately only to
call them names, tell them not to pollute a mailing list, to tell them they
have led a sheltered life, etc etc etc.
If you don't like what I say that's fine, comment in the discussion that is
going on and express your opinion. If you can't manage that do not contact
me via my personal email so no one else can read your comments.
Ok to make it clean to Lisi and others.
ALL, I did was express concern for someone on our team that I thought lived in
Paris as well as for anyone who was hurt.
My was an expression of compassion. Not of politics, or sides. Just
compassion.
Plain and simple.
As for "You started it". I started nothing. All I did was care about people.
This litterally will be the last time I response to any more of this. Do as
you will. I'll have nothing to do with it.
I do hope we can get back to the business of FOSS.
Kate
Greetings all;
One of the un-nessessarily difficult aspects of running linuxcnc, is how
the mouse vs menu's is handled.
LinuxCNC's file menu in particular has a behaviour that needs a liberal
application of a LART but when I ask the developers about it I am told
its whatever the window manager does.
In this case chase the mouse over and click on the left hand "file"
menu, which brings up a list of next operation choices, as you would
expect. 2nd on the menu is "recent files". Makes perfect sense because
one is often cycleing thru at least 2 file, maybe more, and several tool
changes before removing that workpiece from the jig.
Problem is, in order to maintain that 2nd menu, the mouse cursor must not
leave the "recent files" line of text in the primary menu, else the
secondary menu disappears to be replaced by the sub-menu the mouse might
be traveling over, ostensibly on its way to the 2nd menu's display. Net
result is that sub-menu's are popping up and disappearing as the mouse
mopves, and when the pointer arrives at where the filename you wanted to
click on, its not there, having been replaced by something else whose
only commonality is that it belongs in the "file" menu category.
1. Clicking on the already highlighted "recent files" line of text does
nothing, although one would normally expect the click to at least lock
it to that function.
2. So I must pull over my chair and sit down so I can guide the mouse as
it moves sideways, such that it never leaves that line of text. A 3
second click here, click on the name, done, simply is not possible. The
operation can take as long as 30 seconds to get lucky and guide the
mouse accurately enough not to lose the menu and get something else.
Is it possible to let the mouse click select the menu, then click select
the sub-menu, then click select the filename one wants without all this
gingerbread popping up and derailing ones line of thought? IOW, do
nothing between clicks, just check to see where the click was, totally
ignoring how the mouse got to where the click was issued?
Its called useability by me, and the present menu's popping in and out of
existence as the mouse is moved performance is a huge hindrance to
productivity.
Obviously, showing the pointer moving is fine, but doing nothing else
until a click is issued would be the ideal target.
Is it fixable someplace?
Thanks people.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Greetings;
Twice in the last 2 weeks I have been forced to reboot the machine, as it
had a locked up, unkillable session of kmail showing in htop. I had hit
the list reply button, only to be greeted by the spinning dumbell mouse
cursor, which would spin forever. The machine was NOT stuck in a loop
someplace burning up cpu's, nothing, not even kmail was showing any
great cpu activity, but the process itself was unkillable.
This time I was attempting to teach Bret Busby how to construct a sig
separator, the \r-- \r sequence and it was one of his reply messages I
was reading & tried to reply to when it locked up.
This reboot took around 30 minutes because /amandatapes-1T, a terabyte
drive, had not been fsck'd in 181 days, and fscking a terabyte drive,
even if no errors other than severe fragmentation (62%) exist is a 30 to
45 minute process. Amanda, the backup program, /thinks/ the drive is a
30 tape, changer equiped library. (except its 10,0000% more dependable
that such a mechanical monster would be, and 2% of the cost) I'd hate to
think how long it will take to do a 2 terabyte drive as there is now 4
of them here at the Heskett mini-ranchette. Its difficult to buy
anything smaller.
I deleted the last 4 messages from him from ~/Mail/kubuntu-users/cur
before I restarted kmail, knowing I'd be going thru the same hung
machine procedure if I didn't. Last time I made 3 reboots trying, and
finally just cleaned out the folder (a different one) before trying a
4th reboot & kmail restart. That, like this, complained about the index
file being corrupted on the launch of kmail but normal operation was
able to be resumed.
Has anyone a clue just what gmail is doing now? Or how to fix kmail so
it tolerates a message posted from their (IMNSHO) busted webmail app?
This is R14.0.0.2 I believe. Last updated from Slavics? server a day
back.
Looks like I'll need to reboot again, I have a net caused ooops in the
log, and my local network is dead although I can ping yahell.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
