OT - nfs hangs
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hello all, I understand this has nothing to do with trinity, but there seem to be people on this list that understand this stuff more than I do. I've got an older machine (quad core) that I wanted to convert in a network backup. It runs Jessie and mounts an nfs share on my main machine so that I can copy important files. The problem occurs when I transfer bigger quantities of data (I mean several GB, mostly in smaller files of a few hundred MB): - If the server runs Debian stretch, everything is fine. - If the server runs AntiX 17, the copy sooner or later hangs because the server lost the network (the message I got is err_network_changed). there may be another way but I solve the problem by restarting teh machine. Now, the question is this: AntiX 17 is based on stretch. It does not run systemd, nor does it network manager. Network configuration is done with ceni (method static, class auto). The exports file is the same in both cases (copied from Debian to AntiX). If anyone has a clue to give me where to look for this difference in behaviour, I'd be glad! I like AntiX because of no systemd, but... Thierry

kopete IRC #trinity-desktop still alive?
by Stefan Krusche 09 Sep '18

09 Sep '18

Good day everyone, I am trying to connect to #trinity-desktop with kopete and always get an empty chat window. I don't have much experience with kopete/IRC and am frustrated cause I can't find the reason why it doesn't work. I have a few questions about kopete: 1.) Are the server lists still up-to-date and usable? 2.) Do I have to register to join #trinity-desktop? (which wasn't necessary 1 1/2 years ago, IIRC.) 3.) kopete seems to try only one server at connect and after timeout or when it failed (I don't know, no message) it stays offline and doesn't try another or the next server in the list. This happens with #irchelp on EFNet. Also it doesn't always seem to connect to the first server in the list as an priority. Is this normal/expected? However, I am able to connect to other channels like #bash, #freenode-community, #devuan and others. I got stuck and feel puzzled. Kopete's UI doesn't help me either. Please forgive my ignorance and advise on probably basic things. What do I miss? Kind regards, Stefan

Hi, I wanted to update trinity today (Ubuntu 18.04) and got this message: Err:7 http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb bionic InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.241.23.210 80] Hit:8 https://packages.cisofy.com/community/lynis/deb stable InRelease Reading package lists...

Mirroring internal screen
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Sep '18

07 Sep '18

I have a notebook that I connect to my school beamer with a HDMI cable. In Trinity Control Center I can see both my laptop screen and the HDMI screen. I cannot use it if I don't "extend the desktop" to it, but then all my apps open stretched overt the two and control is very difficult. I can set the external screen to the same resolution as the internal, but there is no option to just mirror the internal screen on the external. Am I missing some black magic? Thierry

digikam can't save images in PNG format after editing
by Stefan Krusche 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Good day everyone, is anybody using digikam to edit images? I encountered this bug recently, that digikam fails with an only general error message "Failed to save file" when I try to save an image file in PNG format. It is reproducible like this: 1. start digikam 2. open any image to edit 3. save as: select PNG file --> failure Exspected behavior: 3. save as: should save the converted to PNG format image file Other formats seem to work well, I have tried .jpg, .jp2 In ~/.xsession-errors there are some message which may be related: Opening the image file into the editor: TQFile::open: No file name specified TQFile::open: No file name specified Exif Qt::Orientation: 1 Saving: TQFile::open: No file name specified TQFile::open: No file name specified JPEG image preview size: (1280 x 720) pixels - 80124 bytes libpng error: known incorrect sRGB profile digikam: WARNING: error saving image '/home/user/xyz/lnw39a.digikamtempfile.tmp This tmp file is created with zero size and vanishes after clicking ok in the dialog with the error message. Searching the greatest database of all ages taught me that the libpng error message is commonly known and that something had been changed in handling PNG format which I don't understand really, but my guess is that the interaction of digikam with libpng might be affected. System information: TDE R14.0.5 (PSB) digikam 0.9.6 using PNG library version 1.6.28 Devuan ascii Before I try to find out more and/or create a bug report I'd like to ask if anyone has seen this error and knows what to do about it. Any ideas and hints welcome. Kind regards, Stefan

kmail sends attachment but deletes message enroute
by dep 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

hi, everybody! i'm using kmail-tde via the protonmail bridge beta for email, and i've encountered a puzzling issue. when i send a message with an attachment, the attachment arrives but the message space is labeled "Empty Message." this is problematic for a number of reasons. of course i first got in touch with the protonmail people, and we went through a few tests -- plain text vs. html and so on -- and no joy. they've pointed out that the only linux client they support, anyway, is thunderbird, so for everything else we're on our own. (i do not like thunderbird and like it even less for its poor support of maildir.) looking in kmail configuration, the lone reference i see for attachments (beside turning on the flag to tell me i used the word "attached" without attaching anything) is some sort of outlook mode, which when checked flings a warning of Very Bad Things if i use it. (fwiw, protonmail bridge does support outlook.) before i check the box, anybody know what's going on with the attachments sending but the messagfs not? btw, they show up just fine in the sent-mail directory. tia. -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
