I'm running Trinity R14.0.4 on OpenSuSE Leap 42.2. Trinity Control Center reports that gtk-qt-engine is not installed, but YaST reports that it is. (See attachments.) This impairs use of some GTK-based applications. I'm not sure how to diagnose this further.

serious mount problem

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: I have Trinity R14.0.4 on openSUSE Leap 42.2. The desktop has a "My Computer" icon which is a shortcut to media:/. It opens a window that shows a lot of (all?) hard disk volumes/partitions. The problem: Normal user can mount any of these partititions. This is a SERIOUS security flaw. Normal user should not be able to mount internal disk partitions unless the partition is explicitely set so in /etc/fstab using "user" or "users" options. This behavior can lead to unintentional disruption of raid arrays and enable normal users to modify other users' files in other OSs on other partitions. It is also very strange that a user running mount command can not mount those partitions while the desktop system makes it possible. How can this behavior be changed so that normal could not mount other partitions? I would like to report this as a bug, how can I? Thanks, Istvan

For some reason kmail has been unable to send mail to smtp.mail.com, though it can retrieve mail from pop3.mail.com; so I have been using the mail.com web interface until that is resolved. And now I have figured out how to make it send text format. Leslie -- A Caution to Everybody Consider the Auk; Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk.

[trinity-users] 14.0.4 titlebar icon/button sizes too small

by Felix Miata

What part of settings provides control over $SUBJECT? I have panel and desktop icons acceptably sized (very much bigger than default), but can't find anything that works for those in the titlebar (aka window decorations minimize, maximize, close) no matter which theming is applied. Places tried: 1-appearance & themes -> icons -> advanced -> size (a logical place to try, but which lacks a "titlebar" selection, and in which several selections offer no option to change size at all) 2-appearance & themes -> theme manager (tried in Keramik, Plastik and KDE_Classic) 3-appearance & themes -> window decorations -> buttons Surely there must be a way to enlarge titlebar buttons, but how? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

desktop icons for automounted external USB hard disks

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: TDE handles external USB hard drives the same as internal non-USB (ie SATA) drives. After plugging in an external USB hard drive it only places a device icon to the desktop if device icons for unmounted/mounted hard disks are enabled. I don't want to enable those icons because I have ~20 partitions I don't want to put on the desktop as devices. Still I would like to have removable USB hard disk icons on the desktop similarly to flash disks. How can I do it? In my opinion removable hard disk should be distinguished from internal non-removable drives in this context. Thanks, Istvan

YES!! That was it! And, so obscure it is. sigh... Thank you, thank you!! Happy New Year to you, Dave, and all the Trinity denizens. So far this weekend, this is my only system snafu to get put right.

konqueror problem

by Jonesy

I have a wee little problem. konqueror no longer opens links in a displayed web page. Instead it pops up, viz: Open 'http://jonz.tst/W3DHJ/vhfrover.php'? Type: HTML Document [Save As] [Open with 'kwrite'] [Cancel] And _sometimes_ , very rarely, I can successfully "Open in New Tab". But, even the "New Tab" will most likely present me with ONLY the 'kwrite' popup option. Backstory: This seems to have occurred when I visited a web site with konqueror via sftp://. I wanted to edit a file, and right clicked on it, and as usual, I clicked on the "Open With..." option - and chose 'kwrite'. But, this time to my grief, I clicked the "Always Open this file type..." (or, some text to that nature...) button. I believe that's what caused my current problem. What I've done to try to fix it: I've drilled down through [Settings]>[Configure konqueror] and can find nothing that affects this behavior. I've grep'ed -R for 'kwrite' in the ~/.trinity/ directories and see no hits that would be associated with my problem. I'm sure others here have bumped into this and know the way free of the problem. So, where do I looked next? Thank you, Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | W3DHJ | W3DHJ | https://W3DHJ.net/ Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | 73 SK

Thumbnails in konqueror not working for new users

by office＠klepp.biz

Hi all! Could somebody please verify this: Create a new user, log in with that account and let the wizard ceate a configuration. Now open konqueror, go to a folder with images. You only see thumbnails for images with embedded thumbnails and a generic icon for all other images. Log out from TDE, open a virtual console, log in as previouse user and edit ~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals, find this section: [PreviewSettings] MaximumSize=0 Now change "MaximumSize=0" to something bigger, e.g.: MaximumSize=10000000 Log into TDE again, go to the perevious folder. Now all thumbnails are created. Open kcontrol, select "TDE Components/Filemanger", there the tab "Preview". "Max. File size" is fixed to 0 - which causes the thumbnails not to be created.
