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.

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.

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. (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

problems configuring kicker

by dep

hi, everybody . . . i've encountered a weirdness as i try to arrange some icons on my kicker. i can right click and move them, but kicker behaves as if a new icon is being added instead of an old one being moved. the old one moves well enough, but everything on the right -- task list, spelling applet, calendar, gets squashed farther to the right. so i have blank space in the icon section and the applets and such are all squashed together. so, is there a configuration option that lets me drag everything back to where it should be? thanks very much. -- dep Some pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album

Re: [trinity-users] Tdewallet

The tray icon only shows up when you use Konqueror (or any TDE app?) to go to a URL requiring a password. The first visit should start a remember/wallet dialog. If it doesn't, the subsystem needs to be enabled (yours is). Nothing else needs to be configured. > Default Wallet=Peter I've never set this, the default is empty (kdewallet.kwl VS Peter.kwl?).

changing gnome app font sizes from within tde

by dep

well, i've been looking at this for awhile now and i cannot find any way to change font sizes for menus and such for a gnome application while i'm running it under tde. there are gnome system defaults someplace, but i'd just as soon not install all of gnome just to be able to change the size of the letters in an application. is there an equivalent to kcontrol for the gtk side of things? -- dep Some pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album

network-manager-tde ?

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! Now that wicd decided to not be able to set up my wifi any more, I thoght I might use network-manager + network-manager-tde. As I hve not had this thig running for ~ 5 years, I just tried it out. But I did not get far, the settings dialog did not allow me to save setting. So I ask: has anybody used network-manager-tde in recent times and knows if it works? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
