Hi, I made an accout with name "jürgen", password "jürgen" and the home directory is named "jürgen" too (for testing purpose only). Without tdm i.e. from a console I can login without any problems, but TDM-Login says "wrong password" So is it a bug or a feature? Fine regards Rolf

Also, try doing a complete uninstall of all related drivers etc. Clear you're using dir of any configs etc. Then reinstall. Good luck lad, Kate

Downloading mail when not logged on
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

To compartmentalize my activities I have several accounts on my machine, and usually I'm only logged onto one at a time. I'd like to somehow have the email for these various accounts download even if I'm not logged onto them. Is there anything in Trinity that can do that, or will I have to set up some sort of mail server? Leslie

Removable media and Konqueror
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Whenever I attach removable media to my machine I get a prompt window, and one of the options is to open it in Konqueror. When I select that, I get an entirely new Konqueror session, even though I already have Konqueror open, and the option 'Open as tab in existing Konqueror when URL is called externally' is set. How can I make the mounter open a new tab in my existing Konqueror instance? Leslie

Fwd: KDE Project Security Advisory: messagelib: HTML email caopebrowser window automatically
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Dec '18

Is this security advisory from KDE an issue for Trinity kmail? Leslie ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: KDE Project Security Advisory: messagelib: HTML email caopebrowser window automatically Date: 2018-11-28, 12:46:50 From: Albert Astals Cid <aacid(a)kde.org> To: kde-announce(a)kde.org KDE Project Security Advisory ============================= Title: messagelib: HTML email can open browser window automatically Risk Rating: Low CVE: CVE-2018-19516 Versions: KDE Applications < 18.12.0 Date: 28 November 2018 Overview ======== messagelib is the library used by KMail to display emails. messagelib by default displays emails as plain text, but gives the user an option to "Prefer HTML to plain text" in the settings and if that option is not enabled there is way to enable HTML display when an email contains HTML. Some HTML emails can trick messagelib into opening a new browser window when displaying said email as HTML. This happens even if the option to allow the HTML emails to access remote servers is disabled in KMail settings. This means that the owners of the servers referred in the email can see in their access logs your IP address. Workaround ========== Do not enable "Prefer HTML to plain text" in KMail settings. Solution ======== Update to KDE Applications >= 18.12.0 Or apply the following patch: https://cgit.kde.org/messagelib.git/commit/?id=34765909cdf8e55402a8567b48fb… Credits ======= Thanks to Jany Belluz for the report and to Laurent Montel for the fix. -------------------------------------------------------
