Konsole issue
by Peter Laws 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hello. After being on Ubuntu 14.1 LTS for years, I tried to update to 16.1. Install media Would. Not. See. workstation's RAID so switched to CentOS 7 (all my production stuff uses that anyway). Immediately installed TDE, of course, 14.04 I think. Two issues with Konsole, possibly related to the video driver (card is an "AMD FirePro V4900" with their drivers). First is that it seems to have trouble rendering the _ (underbar) character. No problem leaving random underbars on the screen as text advances, but can't seem to put them in the right spot. This is most noticeable on the last line of a screen full of text. Second, and much more annoying is that when I start Chrome (not my primary browser but necessary for some sites), Konsole becomes very sluggish. Not 2400-baud modem slow, but that was the first thing I thought of. Maybe more like 9600 ... or 14.4 ... Ideas? I do run yum update regularly. -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

TDE Fundraiser
by Timothy Pearson 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, It's that time of year again! As we look toward the release of Debian Stretch and another version of TDE, I'd like to ask for your continued support to help keep TDE online. This year I'm going to try something new. If you donate $40 to TDE [1], I will allow 2 months access to the nightly build repositories that now include Debian Stretch and Raspbian Jessie. Additionally, I'd like those who donate at this level to nominate two bugs that I will personally look into (excepting those relating to support for Wayland, Qt4/Qt5, or Webkit). This way your donations have a direct and positive effect on TDE itself, and TDE can continue to exist in its current form. Personally I would suggest the LibreOffice integration bug or possibly an update of the GTK3 theme engine to fix the rendering bugs as potential candidates, but in the end it's up to you! A full listing of open bugs is available here: http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=&no_… As always, thank you for your support and continued feedback -- we couldn't develop TDE without it!

konqueror can not read directories named ##xxxxxx
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Running the latest 14 tde on the latest debian Jessie. Had a manual backup and in it i had two directories with their names being ##00bla1 and ##00bla2. When i plugged that drive thru a usb port, opening the partition with conqueror resulted in useless recursive openings of the two directories, nothing readable. After i opened the same partition with thunar file manager i was able to see both files starting with ##00, then i was able to graphically change the names of the directories (in thunar), and, after ## was removed from the very front of the name directory, the directories became visible and accessible in conqueror. should it be this way? d.

kmenu: focus always in search field after first invocation
by Stefan Krusche 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hello, when I start kmenu the focus is not in the search field as I remember it having been since long and as it is in a newly created user account. That is the behavior I'd like to have to be able to directly utilize the incremental search feature to jump to a certain menu entry by just typing some characters. Problem: in my current long time user account every second and following time I invoke kmenu the focus is _in_ the search field so I have to first push arrow up or down to get the cursor out of it to directly jump to menu entries by just typing characters. I couldn't find any configuration for that. Any ideas what I could do or try? Regards, Stefan

Ubuntu is giving up on Mir and jumps on the Wayland bandwagon / create Wayland bug-tracker ticket for TDE
by Jan Kleks 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

Here's the news: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/04/ ubuntu-unity-is-dead-desktop-will-switch-back-to-gnome-next-year/ I guess this would be essential for increasing Wayland adoption. And when it comes to Wayland and the TDE, could you create a bug-tracker ticket so that we can track progress (even if very slow) for TDE's Wayland support, please?

Trinity Control Center's "Window Decorations"
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

Hello all, Toying again with Q4OS. Nice that it brings TDE. Less so that they cropped it. I've managed to get back most of the stuff, but one eludes me: in Q4OS Orion 1.8.3 I find no eay to access the Window Decorations settings. Where does kcontrol look for this part of the settings? Thanks, Thierry -- Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.
