skype and pulse audio

by Kate Draven

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? Kate

I just resubscribed, but the 64$ question is how did I get removed?

by Gene Heskett

Last post ack the list archives was in August 2017, after which the list was silent, and my msgs were apparently routed to /dev/null. But I didn't unsubscribe. My ISP has been known to block/bounce but pearsoncomputing.net was in their "whitelist", I put it there yonks ago. Anyway, I'm glad to be back. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Problem with starting arduino ide (from devel to user)

by MLR

Hi again. Did Nik mean chmod o+w or chmod a+w? I looked to the manpage, a+w is writeable for everyone. It can solve the message "failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp'". But I learned that user shouldnt write in /etc/... folder. When I made chmod a+w /etc/tqt3 does it affect on /etc or only in /etc/tqt3? I dont want to destroy my system. :/ For the new readers, this is my problem: I have ubuntu 18.4 with trinity R14.0.5. If I want to start the arduino ide from arduino.cc (download and extract arduino-1.8.7-linux64.tar.xz) there comes the splash-screen for one second and it crashes with this message: ~/arduino-1.8.7$ ./arduino Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing What I have to install or change? I logged in today with the ubuntu standard desktop and the arduino ide works great. deloptes points in devel to $CLASSPATH, the var in empty in my shell. ./arduino is a bash script. Thanks for the help. On 30.11.18 21:21, deloptes wrote: > Dr. Nikolaus Klepp wrote: > >> Hi! >> >> I have 14.0.6~pre + openjdk-8-jre-headless + arduino 1.8.3.

KPDF Print wants to convert my document to...what?

by J Leslie Turriff

I don't often print PDF documents, but recently when I have tried to do so I have been stymied when KPDF told me that my document needs conversion. It also says something about using a non-CUPS print server, which is not my case. I have attached screen shots of the relevant message dialogs that KPDF produces. When I click through these, most of the time KPDF just disappears, but sometimes I see the third dialog first. I can find no information on what it's really wanting or trying to do, so I have no clue as to which MIME type to choose. My understanding is that somewhat recently, Linux has switched from printing PDFs directly to converting them to PostScript; perhaps that has something to do with this? What is the proper way to navigate these dialogs? Leslie

Trinity configuration & how to disable events audio sound?

by Nicolas Bercher

Hi, I'm currently using some Trinity apps (kpdf, amarok, ksnapshot, konqueror) into another window manager (wmii, then i3). Since I stopped using Trinity as my main desktop years ago (I changed machine and reinstalled Debian without Trinity) I'm only using the aforementioned packages. Now, *applications such as kpdf and konqueror cannot be configured* anymore, or only partly. Through years, I've already spent a lot of time trying to find a package for the missing configuration tools & config files for the event sounds without success for the following: * Things don't know how to configure: kpdf: - Where should I tell it not to emit any event sound? konqueror: - Basic preferences like "View Mode" (tree view, etc.) - Menu Settings / Configure Konqueror : I got an empty window - Where should I tell it not to emit any event sound? * Things can configure: kpdf: - Keyboard shorcuts: ~/.trinity/share/apps/kpdfpart/part.rc konqueror: - Bookmarks amarok & ksnapshot: all seems OK. Nicolas -- PS: I have the following packages installed (deps excluded): $ aptitude search '!~M~i~n-trinity$' -F "%p" amarok-common-trinity amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity digikam-trinity k3b-trinity kamera-trinity kasteroids-trinity katomic-trinity kbackgammon-trinity kbattleship-trinity kblackbox-trinity kbounce-trinity kcoloredit-trinity kcontrol-trinity kde-systemsettings-trinity kdebase-data-trinity kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity kdegames-card-data-trinity kdegames-trinity kdelibs-data-trinity kdelibs4c2a-trinity kdemultimedia-kio-plugins-trinity kdesktop-trinity kdm-trinity kenolaba-trinity kfind-trinity kfouleggs-trinity kghostview-trinity kgoldrunner-trinity kicker-trinity kjumpingcube-trinity klickety-trinity klines-trinity kmag-trinity kmahjongg-trinity kmines-trinity kmix-trinity knetwalk-trinity kolf-trinity kolourpaint-trinity konq-plugins-trinity konqueror-nsplugins-trinity konqueror-trinity konquest-trinity kpat-trinity kpdf-trinity kpoker-trinity kreversi-trinity ksame-trinity kshisen-trinity ksirtet-trinity ksmiletris-trinity ksnake-trinity ksnapshot-trinity ksokoban-trinity kspaceduel-trinity ktron-trinity ktuberling-trinity kuickshow-trinity kwin4-trinity python-dcop-trinity tde-core-trinity tdeadmin-trinity tdebase-data-trinity tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity tdebase-tdeio-smb-trinity tdebase-trinity tdm-trinity

Lost ability to sftp via konqueror

by Marvin Jones via trinity-users

Happy New Year to all. I just noticed I can no longer sftp in konqueror to sites I normally "visit". It's been a week or 2 since I last used the feature, but I think a Trinity update may have caused this snafu. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with Trinity 14.0.6 using the Preliminary Stable Builds repository. konqueror "claims" it's connecting, but it just hangs after that. I see _nothing_ concerning the attempt in either the local or remote logs. Every failure in konqueror works Just Fine when replicated on the command line. E.G., sftp://UserID:PASSword@example.com fails in konqueror sftp UserID:PASSword@example.com connects just fine on the command line ... as well, it fails on sites where I use SSH Key-Based Authentication. And, again, it works Just Fine at the command line. Anyone else confirm?

Just enter "engine" without the quotes. If it's NOT there, install it and see if that helps. Remember to go to kcontrol and adjust the gtk3 to default. It's under appearances and themes. Kate
