When I try to install kpowersave nohal it tells me tdepowersave has to be
installed and it is broken. When I try to install tdepowersave it installs
no issues but kpowersave still won't install saying tdepowersave is not
installed because it is broken.

I've been unhappy with the default Ubuntu build of firefox for a long
time. I thought I'd try building it from source but it's apparently
been a long time since untar; ./configure; make; make install was a
thing. With one of the recent updates, the window decorations
changed, too, and I find the new style dialogs annoying (I have no
idea if it was a Firefox patch or a TDE patch that changed something).
I also get Asian characters, perhaps Chinese, when I copy something
from the TDE side of my environment across Synergy and paste it to my
Macbook, but ignore that foolishness for now.
So I've installed mercurial and I've installed autoconf-2.13 (because
past that, autoconf is too cool for school and isn't actually
backwards compatible with stuff real projects used) and now I've hit
gtk+.
plaws@toto3:mozilla-central $ sudo apt-get install gtk+
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package gtk
Any combination of quotes doesn't seem to sufficiently protect that +.
Looking at what's available in the repo with Adept, I don't actually
see a specific package for gtk+ only gtk2 and gtk3, though I admit
that I have no idea how those are related (look, if it were up to me,
I'd still use OLVWM ...).
So what's the 1) easiest way for me to satisfy the demands of the
build script that 2) doesn't completely dork up my Trinity
installation?
I may not need to install anything - this may be just a path or ENV
thing. Any help appreciated!

Hi all,
I have TDE 3.5.13.2 installed on Debian 7.10. Some time ago (probably after one of security
updates) my KPowerSave stopped working - it does not allow me to set power scheme nor does it
recognize whether the laptop is running on battery or A/C. These features still work in other
programs (eg. htop recognizes whether I am running on battery or A/C, I can use cpufreq-set to
set CPU speed) so this is not a system-wide breakage. Does anyone have any ideas what might be
wrong?

While that is the primary issue, even relatively simple sites (e.g.
Wikipedia) have rendering issues.

Yeah, I have a hard time with anything Google these days (scary
behemoth), but I've come to prefer Chromium over Iceweasel and haven't
found anything else that works reliably (though it has been a while
since I've used Opera).

I wish I had your optimism, I'm really amazed how little traction TDE
has, even more so Konqueror - thanks in part to the Dolphin over
Konqueror boondoggle. I don't know the current state, but the
Konqueror webkit engine (option in KDE4?) wasn't reliably better. In
any case, it's a welcome surprise to hear that someone else still
finds Konqueror indispensable.
Hi,
I recently downloaded and installed TDE on Ubuntu, and so far I'm liking the
environment alot. I like how all the applications are integrated with each
other. However, I am having issues with the Konqueror web browser, where many
websites are not rendering properly. I have looked up the issue and found
that the KHTML engine that is used by Konqueror has not been updated for some
time and is behind the rendering errors. I have installed both Firefox and
Chromium but none of them integrate well as Konqueror does.
On websites that work with Konqueror, I like the fact when I click on a video
link, a picture, a file archive, a sound file, or any other type of file, it
automatically opens up in the corresponding application and the program,
Kaffine for example, starts streaming the video file. I cannot get the same
kind of integration with Firefox or Chromium. I have tried setting the
default RSS subscription program to Akregator, but it doesn't seem to
redirect the request to that program. I have tried having video files open up
in Kaffine, but the browser downloads the whole video first instead of
opening up Kaffine and streaming it. One other minor complaint I have is that
the interfaces don't match well with TDE either, as there doesn't seem to be
a lot of QT based browsers that have up-to-date browser engines.
I was wondering if there are any plans on updating the KTML engine or
Konqueror in general to work with modern websites and to have that great
intergratedness that makes me like Konqueror. I would have been happy to work
on this project myself but as I don't know how to code at all, this isn't a
pheasble route for me.
Thanks for any info you may give,
Paul

It depends on your definition of "navigator". Almost everything I do
on my PC is done using Konqueror as a navigator to view/play/edit/run
files/programs, local and remote - things no other web browser or file
manager can do. While Konqueror is essentially my desktop and could
get me anyhere I want/need to go, sometimes the menu or taskbar are
faster/easier.
That said, it is frustrating that I can only use Konqueror to view
websites I know it can handle. I still use Konqueror as a gateway
browser ('open with Chromium') because there are enough of my regular
sites that still work in Konqueror and I prefer the
simpler/depreciated Google interface. Maybe I'm stubborn, but
Iceweasel and Chromium are pigs and not something to leave running
when you're using a Pi2 PC.
...It's probably a pipe dream, but it would be real nice if there were
a way that I could have a whitelist of sites that would open in
Konqueror with all others automatically opening in an external
browser.
