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

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 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

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

Hi all! Does anybody know where tdelibs-trinity-14.0.7.p24 can be found?

[trinity-users] no TDE on Mageia 7
by Felix Miata 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Looking in journal and Xorg.0.log I see no clues. X starts, but startx just starts X and exits. Trinity-tdm is installed, but no other *dm, and I see no evidence of its configuration in systemctl list-unit-files or systemctl list-units. /var/log/tdm.log was last written over a year ago. Trinity tries to start using startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde, but a popup comes twice, then X exits: "There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The messag returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_hp945_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" startx icewm works. How does one do that, and why isn't there a TDM running? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Q: Alternative list background
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Hi all! I have konqueror set to a dark background with bright font. When I use icon view, things look great. But any list view uses the color from "alternative list background" that is set in tcontrol, which in my case is light to match the light background of all other windows with dark font. This leads to light/dark lines in konqueror (which I do not want, I want dark background and maybe a slightly lighter alaternating background). When I set alternative background to bdark, then konqueror looks fine but e.g. ark has zebra stripes. Does anybody know of a way to make konqueror not use the alternative list background?
