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

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.

tdm.log: more than repeated 100.000 messages: "unable to receive message"

by Stefan Krusche

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.

RPi + TDE + 7i90HD

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi Gene! (This is not directly a TDE question, so it might be of no interest to a lot of readers, but anyway ...) If I recall correctly, you have mentioned somewhere that you have a RPi + TDE + 7i90HD running. Yesterday a 7i960HD ended up on my desk. Now I want to build a new CNC with RPi + TDE + 7i90HD, but I am stuck at how to flash the correct firmware to the card. I understand that I need mesaflash to flash 7i90_spi_svst4_8.bit (http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/hm2_rpspi.9.html) from a pc via what? Centronics cable? Do you have a link to the needed cables? And maybe a working linuxcnc configuration? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

mails spams and kmail

by andre_debian＠numericable.fr

Hello, As many, I receive many spams. Kmail has a 2 filters : "Filter configuration" and "pop filter configuration" Which is the difference ? For some mails, I want to delete them. This option does'nt seem possible, only to put them in the trash or another folder, and deleting them after manually. So, is it possible to delete these mails without to put them before in the trash ? Thanks, regards, André

kmail filter problem

by Gene Heskett

Greetings folks; I have had a loooong list of all caps strings at the top of my filter list for years. But recently the filter has been changed to apparently be caseless. But I've had to pick quite a few messages back out of the spam folder and put them where they should go by hand. Then one of those lists is in the runup to a new release, and the subject line has included the word planning which now is firing on the ANNI rule so it get moved to thespam folder. As I've played with the filter rules trying to fix this without knowing it had become case insensitive, I've been highlighting the message and hitting ctl+j, which is supposed to apply the filters again, but the messages so treated to the ctl+j are now being deleted! So I've apparently lost forever, around 10 messages from a very important to me, list before I started the filter log viewer to see what was going on. Can you please put back the case sensitivity?

Suspend Buttons disappeared

by de.bug

Hi, a recent update has left me without the sleep and hibernate buttons on logout. I get a message instead: warning: suspend to ram disabled by administrator I can't seem to find any config file for this. Suspend still works when invoked from the console. Any hints on how to get this back? Thanks, Mike

[trinity-users] which distro might be preferable with POTS web connection and WINE?

by Felix Miata

Maybe the better question would be does anyone here have any users using POTS and WINE, and if so, on which distro? I haven't haven't suffered POTS or known more than one who has in close to 20 years. The one who has is the owner of the target. He has zero competence in computer setup or maintenance, historically struggling to do much more with internet than collect Windows malware. His email is Juno. Absent a suggestion backed by recent experience with POTS and WINE, I'll be choosing between Mageia, openSUSE and Debian. Target is a Vaio laptop (not mine) with 2.2GHz dual core with 2GB RAM and GM965 14" 1280x800 video. I have an openSUSE maintenance installation (only IceWM for X) on it now, which will stay. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
