You can also try using ~/.gtkrc* whatever it's called now (this is what I did). Additional stuff from DUH internet 1 Modify the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini according to your wishes for your specific application (i.e. font, font-size, theme, etc.). Save it under ~/.config/somewhereelse/gtk-3.0. Run the application with XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config/somewhereelse your-application https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/change-font-size-fo… Good luck Kate

digikam is trying to kill me and my computer
by dep 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

greets, folks . . . for more than a decade i've gone happily along, making pictures for a living, sorting them with a gnome application called gthumb (which meshes nicely with the gimp) and being generally happy. then the gnome people did what gnome people do: they improved gthumb to the point where it's utterly useless. they removed menus and scrollbars and committed other atrocities. so i thought i'd bite the bullet and try digikam, which is in many respects too much, just too much. it tries to do things that i do not want done. it insists on running a full inventory of all my pictures all the time -- gthumb was good about not doing this until it was asked to -- and generally behaves as if i'm a 14-year-old who wants to keep track of his million selfies. grrr. but i can live with that and i feel confident that after spending some time with it i can turn off much of the stuff i don't like and make it into something potentially more useful than gthumb was when it was useful, about one major version ago. but there's a problem: when i use digikam-trinity (0.9.6) within a few minutes i can hear my computer's fans screaming and when i run top i see that it's consuming more than 100 percent. any ideas how i can fix this or at least troubleshoot it? tia. -- dep Some pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album

Tdewallet
by phiebie＠drei.at 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Debian Buster uptodate and with systemd. tdewalletmanager-trinity_4%3a14.0.7~pre8-0debian10.0.0+4~a The walletmanager does not start automatically, when TDE is started. Starting it manually with [tdewalletmanager --tdewalletd] yields an icon in the taskbar, the wallets however never get opened not to speak of, that they stay completely empty. The tdewalletrc contains: [ ] [Wallet] Close When Idle=false Close on Screensaver=false Default Wallet=Peter Enabled=true First Use=false Idle Timeout=10 Launch Manager=true Leave Manager Open=false Leave Open=false Prompt on Open=true Use One Wallet=true [ ] Where should I look for a misconfiguration or wrong/insufficient permissions? Tks and regards.

kmail crashing now unusable
by Gene Heskett 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Greetings; Over the last several days, kmail has gotten so unstable its not usable. Now tdewallet has also died, I have submitted 20+ crash reports, no reply, and I've no clue if it will even send this message. How about some help or an acnowlegement of the problem. I've rebooted, even re-installed all of kmail to no avail. I've also run memtest about 3 full cycles, no errors.

net_applet

Hi people I no longer have net_applet access as user. This happened after a few updates. I'm guess it's a perm problem. Any ideas where to look? Thanks Kate

here's what i'm talking about
by dep 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

i've made the picture dinky as i can while having it big enough to see. as you can tell, everything to the right -- taskbar, icons of running applications -- has gotten squashed. before i moved the icons on the left, simply rearranging them, everything was distributed nicely across the bottom of the screen. i do not know if having a black background is hiding some handle i can use to stretch stuff out, but if it is i cannot find anything about it. and every time i moved an icon to be in a grouping of other similar applications, the stuff on the right got squashed further, though no new icons were being added to kicker. nor can i find a configuration file i can screw around with. anybody know how i can fix this? dep Some pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album

I usually just relock kicker and start again. If that doesn't work I log in again, that usually fixes it. I suspect small gnomes are living in my computers. Kate

About a Kernel
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

HI I would like everyone's opinion on this. I'm trying figure out the benefits of either staying with the LTS kernel or with the lastest kernel. The machines are every day use and stability is important. Am I tossing away any benefits, of the latest kernel, if I use the 4.8x/9x kernel. Or do the benefits of the 5.1x kernel out weigh any instability? I'd like all schools of thought. Thanks in advance, Kate
