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?

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

[trinity-users] r14-xdg-update script error when TDM is starting TDE
by Stefan Krusche 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Good Day everyone, after the latest update and after I logged in into TDM some xmessage boxes popped up before starting TDE and informed me of some errors. The second time I start my PC and TDE it's only one xmessage box. Clicking away these boxes result in starting a TDE session normally and I haven't observed any problems yet. What can I do to satisfy r14-xdg-update or at least silence it? Any hint is appreciated. Kind regards, Stefan Krusche ====== More Information ===== I've only found this information regarding the complaint of this r14-xdg-update script in /var/tmp/tdecache-$USER: $ cat r14-xdg-update-validation-test9.txt <Filename>kde-KMail.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kwrite.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-konsole.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksensors.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksystemlog.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-konsole.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-ksystemlog.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-KMail.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-knetworkmanager.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-Home.desktop</Filename> <Filename>kde-kwrite.desktop</Filename> And there are a couple of lines in ~/.xsession-errors which don't tell me more than "error code is 9" which seems to mean that test number 9 of that script failed (see above). That R14_UPDATE_TEST9 basically greps the tdemenu-config-file: grep "<Filename>kde-" "$USER_DIR/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu" and accordingly finds some entries because there are some with that string, old config files brought from good old kde3 which exist under ~/ and as they are properly registered with tdemenu always have worked. AIUI it doesn't matter what the file name really is but I never got familiar with the way the configuration of TDE's menus is implemented in XML and so on. If I'd rename the files so that r14-xdg-update is happy and change the entries in applications-tdemenuedit.menu accordingly the "error" probably would vanish I guess. But maybe r14-xdg-update shouldn't complain in the first place or make it clear what actually the problem is which I don't see. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

by Slávek Banko 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi all, I would like to remind you that R14.0.8 is planned for the end of April. There will not be significant changes, some new cmake conversions, cleaning, many minor fixes and also a lot of work on translations. If you want to contribute, now is a good time to test and also to work on translations. Main packages freeze is scheduled for April 10, applications should freeze on April 17 and final freeze on April 24. I hope everything goes well. Thank you for your support and help. Cheers -- Slávek

[trinity-users] Does TDE require iBus?
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

Hello all, Now I have iBus showing in my system tray. It was not there before (at least it did not show). I had to install different things (including Skype and jitsi) for Howoffice work, I don't know if that's where it comes from. I have a feeling it sometimes messes up my keyboard. Is iBus (iBus-daemon, iBus-dconf, iBus-engine-sim, iBus-extension, iBus-portal, iBus-ui-gtk3, iBus-x11) a requirement for TDE? I ask before removing and possibly breaking things...

[trinity-users] Current build throws kjobviewer libcups error (cups disabled)
by Snidely Whiplash 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Hello I just did a new build of TDE (git sources from today) on my custom Linux from Scratch system. I don't have CUPS, I don't print, I despise printers, don't have one and have no use for them (well, maybe ballistics targets). Cups is not going to be a dependency on my system. I am passing -DWITH_CUPS=OFF to all the builds (AFAIK it's only valid for tdelibs, ignored everywhere else). Now, when starting tde I get a KJobViewer error dialog with: "There was an error loading tdeprint_cups. The diagnostic is: Library files for "tdeprint_cups.la" not found in paths." Not just once, but twice. There is no setting to disable tdeprint as far as I can see. There is no tdeprint_cups.la either. I have never had this annoyance before. Unless I can find a way to get it to stop, I'm going to restore a backup of my previous tde build. I have already tried renaming kjobviewer but then I get 3 error messages. Creating a bogus tdeprint_cups.la just causes the error dialogs to have blank diagnostic message. Any ideas for a temporary workaround (compile time or run time trickery)? I can't have those error dialogs. Thanks,
