Ksnapshot
by phiebie＠drei.at 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Trinity 14.0.6 preliminary. Don't know if it is a feature of ksnapshot or a misconfiguration somewhere from me, but it is getting absolutely annoying what happens. I have a website, a document or whatsoever on my screen in full A4-papersize. Now I want a printout of a small part of it. Call ksnapshot, choose "region" "new snapshot" and then draw a border around the desired part. Press "print" and then print it. Bull... I get a print in landscape, useless and even worse not even the original layout reappears. Stop ksnapshot, restart it and same procedure with again the same miserable result. Stop, restart, same procedure but no actual printing, instead I look into the printer properties. And there, big surprise, landscape was marked as to be printed BUT all 4 orientations were grayed out, so I couldn't change that. Checked in tdeprint the printersettings, nothing wrong, in "instances" "settings" all 4 orientations were available and portrait was marked as to be applied in the default printer. Checked kprinter and of course the settings of tdeprint were there also valid. But then I had an idea. If I selected in ksnapshot a larger part of the screen, say more than half A4, what would happen? Yes, some ugly words from me and there it was: portrait was marked but still all 4 possibilities grayed out. So ksnapshot decides how it wants to print and doesn't leave the user a chance to get a result, that he wants. Utterly bull.... Any suggestion, where I could look to alter this behaviour? Phiebie.

skype and pulse audio
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

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?

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.

The problem becomes, and naturally so, that TDE may need to become upstream for the various components of Amarok, or Amarok itself it upsteam support is gone. There was a lengthy discussion on the openSuSE list about Amarok and specifically whether a "better alternatives exist.". There were none found that provided the traditional features or behavior of Amarok, which mitigates in favor of patching Amarok and continuing to offer it. There were always shortcomings in the supposed better alternatives that either required hacks or workarounds, even for behavior as trivial as continual play. Just another angle to consider. The openSuSE list discussion was within the past 2-weeks, though I must have deleted that thread. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Konqueror Advanced Permission dialog: OK button disabled
by update 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Hello, since upgrading from tde 3.5.13 to 14 and ubuntu precise to xenial (linux-4.4.0 and 4.15.0), the OK button in the "Advanced Permissions" dialog of Konquereor is not enabled any more. The file system is ext4 with acl and user_xattr enabled. Is this my local problem, or has any one else this issue too? Thanks Stef

tde update disaster, helllppppp!!!!!!
by Gene Heskett 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Greetings all; I updated tde about 2 hours ago, 300+ files. Its totally fscked, defaulting to xfce4 and nothing but a tiny terminal works. But that terminal is enough to get more started. Can't find kmail from the xfce4 menu but kmail is what it reports it cannot find so $path is screwed. I've gone single and tried to relink default-display back to /opt/trinity/bin/tdm, failed. Tried to reset it in /etc/default, failed. Tried just about everthiing including re-installing the trinty-base & twm/tdm stuffs. no luck I finally found /opt/trinity/bin/kmail and have it running but no clue if I can send this. How in tuncket do I restore my default desktop to tde now??? I asccidently touched the folder icon, it opened a huge requester asnd froze everthing but gkrellm which I had found and started so I could see if the robots were DDOSing me, so I had to re-start it with the front panel reset button. I likely have the whole thing to fix as right now its cycleing back and forth as its starting x with a tde login but clears that screen and eventually starts xfce4. And here come the damned bots, so I gotta get iptables running. Thanks for any help. debian stretch on amd64 if that helps.

Mouse too fast - where can I set DPI ?
by Internal Affairs 08 Jan '20

08 Jan '20

I experienced the problem after I finally did a major update. Maybe it is a udev vs evdev thing. I do not have this probem on MX (you know, the old Mepis / Antix related distro). Funny thing is I cannot find xsettings or something there. If only I would know where to look I could compare :) There is a EXEGNU LiveCD with Trinity, if I recall correctly it is working well there. Warm regards, Eric-Jan

Sound mixer problem after upgrade to buster/R14.0.7
by Nick Koretsky 01 Jan '20

01 Jan '20

Hi! After i upgraded to buster two weeks ago, sound mixer applet stopped saving/reading its settings, so every time i boot my pc i am presented with "Select Mixer" and have to set channels again. There is kmix_panelapplet_0evyw8vqwb0hupdm6thw_rc in ~/.trinity/share/config with the timestamp of update and simingly correct values, but its not read or something? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)
