Hi
I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed
alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have
pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a
fix to re-enable alsa or the like?

Hi there.
I've got a really great Amarok playlist of songs that I find help me
concentrate.
I've looked for a means of playing such a playlist on Android without
success.
If anyone has succeeded in porting a TDE program to Android it would
maybe bring this dream a little closer.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with such a dream :)

Philip Ashmore

Hi,
Now that Firefox is directly available from a Wheezy repository I
recently decided to replace Iceweasel with Firefox-esr. Once I had the
latter up and running I deleted the former.
When I next tried to open an html file from Dolphin I received the
TDEInit failure message: "TDEInit could not launch 'Iceweasel'. Could
not find 'Iceweasel' executable."
I did an online search for information about TDEInit and found that
others had problems with it, and the problems had to do with something
called 'binutils' I think. My knowledge of information technology is
unfortunately insufficient to allow me to understand the information I
found.
Could someone please tell me what I need to do to replace 'Iceweasel'
with Firefox-esr so I can open html files in 'Firefox-esr" from Dolphin.
Regards, Ken Heard

Nope; doesn't work with any combination of suggested ports, protocols or authentication methods. I still get the
"Unrecognized transport protocol. Unable to send message."
message. Judging by the quickness of the message's appearance, I suspect that kmail is not getting to the point of attempting to connect to the server.
It almost seems like there is some prerequisite package or service missing, but all of kmail's required libraries and packages are installed. I've attached the list of installed services that are NOT running in hopes that someone will spot something helpful.

Since migrating from my dying laptop to my new desktop machine, kmail refuses to send mail to my mail provider's servers, forcing me to use their webmail interface (yuk). I have tinkered with the kmail configuration to no avail, and I've even tried copying the old kmailrc file over the new; but nothing works.
Currently, when I attempt to upload mail, I see this message in the status area:
"Unrecognized transport protocol. Unable to send message."
During my struggles, I also saw, in a separate window, the attached security failure message.
I have also attached snapshots of my SMTP configuration, and this link points to setup instructions for my mail provider's SMTP server:
http://email.about.com/od/Accessing-Mail-com/f/Mail-com-SMTP-Server-Setting…
Neither of these messages gives me enough detail about the problem to know how to proceed. I suspect something is corrupted in the kmail config, but deleting and replacing the Sending entry hasn't helped, nor has replacing the entire file with the working one from the old machine.
mail.com has suggested that I change from using pop3 to imap (like that would help), and

which has not helped. Using kmail's "Check what the server supports" sets TLS and PLAIN. I'm guessing that TLS = STARTTLS, and SSH = Encryption. The config on my old system has SSH and PLAIN set. Neither of these works on my new system.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Felix,
Thanks for your help with this. I followed your suggestions for reinstalling, and (after a struggle to get Network-Manager working) it's working better.

That is my choice of font; I find it easier to read than a sans-serif font.

It is a new installation of OpenSuSE Leap 42.2 on a bare system. I first
installed a minimal image, then installed X, then Trinity. I did it that way
because I had considerable trouble on my old Leap 42.1 system getting rid of
all of the KDE4 and KDE Plasma5 junk that always triy to take over my
window-manager and display-manager.

Okay. I ran zypper and got these results:
$ zypper se -s gtk|grep qt
| qtcurve-gtk2 | package | 1.8.19~git20150303-2.2 | x86_64 | openSUSE-Leap-42.2-Oss

| trinity-gtk3-tqt-engine-debugsource | package | 2:0.5-14.0.4_1.oss422 | x86_64 | Trinity x86_64
zypper says both are installed. Is the presence of qtcurve-gtk2 an issue?
