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.

tdm.log: more than repeated 100.000 messages: "unable to receive message"
by Stefan Krusche 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Good day everyone, I recently noticed tens of thousands of repeated messages of this kind in /var/log/tdm.log: unable to receive message […] unable to receive message XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 97881 requests (97881 known processed) with 185 events remaining. (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. # or: unable to receive message twin: Fatal IO error: client killed krootimage: Fatal IO error: client killed XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 951 requests (951 known processed) with 6 events remaining. (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. where "unable to receive message" is the almost innumerably repeated part. I'm running TDE: R14.0.6 PSB on Devuan/ascii Has anyone seen this or any idea where it comes from? Kind regards, Stefan

Making TDE aware of non-Trinity applications
by J Leslie Turriff 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Is there a way to make TDE aware of running non-Trinity applications so that they can be resurrected after Logout/Login? I have at least one X11-based application (X2 - The Programmer's Editor) that I use extensively, and it would be nice if it could remember across Logout/Login events. I'm wondering if something like a DCOP wrapper might do the job? Leslie

Two-up icons in vertical panel bars?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Because I now have a high-resolution widescreen monitor, I keep all of my working icons in vertical panels on the left and right sides of my display to maximize the amount of vertical space for windows. I like to have my Preview & Pager applet set to two columns for easy switching between desktops, and that makes me want to use a Large size panel, but that means that I'm running out of space for application icons. Is there any way to make my icons appear two-up, the way the ones in the System Tray do? In the attached screenshot, both the right (main) panel and left panel are Large size. As can be seen, when the left panel is set to Large size, there's no more room for application icons. If the icons in the left panel could be displayed the way the ones in the System Tray appear, that would be very helpful. N.B. I don't like to use desktop icons, and I don't like using shortcut keys for switching desktops. Leslie

Problem with starting arduino ide (from devel to user)
by MLR 06 Apr '19

06 Apr '19

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.

kmail has become essentially unusable
by Gene Heskett 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

I just stopped it, reinstalled everything kmail related in a synaptic search, and restarted it from the tde menu. It immediately reported two bad indices, for folders emc and spam-hold, and took 32 minutes to scan those 2 folders and open its gui. I own as gene:gene with perms from 600 to 644 in the /home/gene/Mail subdir. It is NOT updating now for 4 days, the files in /home/gene/Mail/emc/cur to indicate read or important by appending the ':2,S' or ':2,RS' but it is generating new indices, 2 of them everytime it tries to scan that folder, so it CAN create/write to that folder. There are around 60100 messages in that folder, and the indice files are drwxr-xr-x 5 gene gene 4096 Mar 31 12:08 emc -rw------- 1 gene gene 44551163 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 240389 Mar 31 12:08 .emc.index.ids These 2 files have been nuked to see if a rebuild fixes it, no. And now everthing kmail, about 8 packages, has been re-installed from the local archive since the mirror is missing now for several days. Is there a fix? Or can it be fixed short of installing a stretch netinstall on a new drive? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Hi all! Is there a way to set the workgroup when connecting to a samba server using "konqueror smb://server/" ? By some obscure reason smbclient can connet to the server usen "-W NAMEOFWORKGROUP", but konqueror can only show the publicly anounced shares but cannot connect.
