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

I just resubscribed, but the 64$ question is how did I get removed?
by Gene Heskett 20 Oct '21

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

Qt offering changes 2020
by Slávek Banko 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Hi all, I do not know if you have noticed a recent change to the original Qt libraries from which our own TQt library was forked: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020 I have to say that it is comfortable that we have our own fork - TQt, which is and will remain publicly available without restrictions. Cheers -- Slávek

Could not find mime type (Sorry pop-up spamming)
by Michael 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

I made one change last weekend to mime types (added ".bat" to KWrite) and now I get the Sorry pop-up every time I mouse over a file in Konqueror or open the TCC. The only recent file change I can see in: ~/.local/share/mime/ /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk ~/.local /opt/trinity/share is: michael@local [~/.local]# find ./ -type f -mtime -4 -exec ls -al {} \; ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel Which seems not relevant? TCC >> TDE Components >> File Associations “bat” shows: - applicatoin - - x-kdeuser5 (see screenshot) So... Where is mime type config stored? And what should be in it so it doesn’t spam Sorry pop-ups? Thanks, Michael [1] During this I also found out that KWrite is not in any menu? michael@local [~/.local]# kwrite --version Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.6 KWrite: 4.5.14 michael@local [~/.local]# which kwrite /opt/trinity/bin/kwrite Menu >> Utilities >> Editors only has: Kate Midnight Commander editor Kedit FeatherPad Vim Is KWrite not suppose to have a menu entry?

There are a couple of things I can think of to test things out. 1. Create a new user see if anything changes. 2. Grab another HD, install and createa new user. If you see some improvement, copy the old user dir over and recreate the old users. Maybe it's a corrupted user dir or a bad HD? Good luck, Kate
