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.

Migration of services - 1. web server

by Slávek Banko

Hi all, I'm launching a series of threads related to the migration of individual services. The main web server was listed first. -- Migration status -- The web server is already successfully migrated to the virtual machine on the tde-box. It was migrated almost unchanged. The changes concerned only: 1. Service alerts - instead of a manually maintained page, the real status of services is now displayed. Additional work is required to ensure that the retrieval status of the services is properly distributed among the individual servers where the services are active (eg, the mail server for the status of the mailing list services). 2. API documentation - search is not active, instead of Qt3 documentation TQt documentation is now published, instead of old KDE documentation, TDE documentation is published (tdelibs and tdebase). Further changes will be needed here. However, there will be a need to discuss how to maintain and generate documentation. 3. Supported RFEs - the page is now static and since we do not currently have a way to accept monetary donations, this page is suitable for removal and replacement in a new way sometime in the future. 4. List of active mirrors - now provides a better overview of the status of mirrors. -- What needs to be done -- 1. Webhook for automatic update when pushing commits to git. 2. New bot for recording history / interaction on IRC and Jabber rooms. Currently, IRC history is being retrieved from the old Tim's server. 3. There could be some small changes in style - for example, for better display on mobile devices. 4. The menu could be revised - there some links are almost duplicated - Documentation × API Docs, some fully duplicated Home/Contact × Support, Bugs × Support/Bugs, Wiki × Support/Wiki. 5. Some changes in the content. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the web server? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

FAS 32 and #

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! I just ran into this problem: konqueror can open any file with a '#' in it - if the file is not on a dos partition. e.g.: "12345#hallo.txt" on a ext4 opens fine. The same file on a FAT32 does not open - konqeror tries to open a file "12345". "ls" on said FAT32 filesystem shows the correct name "12345#hallo.txt", so I suspect a konqueror problem. Could somebody please test before I file a bug report? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

A look at the narrow version of the webpage

by E. Liddell

For your amusement (and to test whether I can actually *post* to the new mailing lists, since I got the confirm and welcome mails, but other messages have only been coming from the old list), I offer the following glimpses of what the tweaked website will look like on smaller devices: Really narrow screens (such as phones) will see this: https://i.postimg.cc/m2tsMdWb/tdepage-phone.png Note the vertical menu at the bottom, and the header has been resized so that the word "Development" doesn't overflow off the screen to the right. Screens between 520px and 800px wide (of which I don't expect to find many—some tablets held in portrait mode, maybe) will get this instead: https://i.postimg.cc/y6fKkM5Q/tdepage-medium.png Menu horizontal at the bottom, header larger but still not full-sized. At 800px, it reverts to the format we all know and . . . love? In any case, at 800px, the sidebar takes up a little more than 20% of the screen, which should be acceptable to most. The resizing trick doesn't work in Konqueror, unfortunately, since it doesn't support CSS @media queries at the necessary level, but I am going to be very surprised if anyone manages to get Konqueror onto a phone. The page does resize itself correctly on the three modern browsers I've tested. E. Liddell

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.

Migration of services - 4. wiki

by Slávek Banko

Hi all, the fifth service on the migration list is wiki. -- Migration status -- A new wiki has been created, data from the existing one has been migrated. User accounts have not been migrated, so users must create new ones. -- What needs to be done -- A new TDE skin remains to be created. Some wiki pages deserve to be updated - for example, Project RoadMap, Nightly Builds,... I have an idea that pages with information about individual applications could be created in the wiki, so that an overview of these pages can replace the list of applications, which is statically on the main web. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the new mailing lists? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek
