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.

Konqueror Advanced Permission dialog: OK button disabled

by update

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

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 with TDEsu

by J Leslie Turriff

For quite a while now I've been unable to use TDEsu to open utilities that require root access, e.g. TDM configuration. TDEsu freezes after I enter the root password and press Enter. When I run it from the command line I see > tdesu: WARNING: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it. Looking at /opt/trinity/bin/tdesud, I saw that indeed, it was not sgid, so I set that bit; but it still hangs, albeit without the message. I see that there are four programs associated with this function: > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 59912 2019-03-18 15:53:08 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14544 2019-03-18 15:37:31 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesu_stub > -rwxr-sr-x 1 root root 55440 2019-03-18 15:53:08 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesud > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72200 2019-03-19 15:10:26 /opt/trinity/bin/tdesudo Should other bits be set for one or more of these? Is there a missing entry in /etc/group? What else should I look for? N.B. I have tried reinstalling the package containing TDEsu, but that hasn't helped. Leslie

Random session restore failures

by Philip Ashmore

Hi there. Programs that sometimes fail to restore across boots: Kate Konsole Konqueror Thunderbird Sometimes when Konsole restores it forgets the "Paper" schema and reverts to default. Sometimes the sound starts muted and I have to enable it with kmixer which tells me that I have two mixers, PulseAudio and "HDA Intel PCH". Maybe that's because I end the session with earphones plugged in and start it with them unplugged, not sure. I had these problems before upgrading to Buster, but they seem to be happening more frequently recently. Is there somewhere session restore errors are logged? Unrelated ping: currently System Guard does not show network speed: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2398 Regards, Philip Ashmore
