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

Fix for Konqueror crashing on cut-n-paste

by Michele Calgaro

Hi all, as some of you have experienced and reported in the past, Konqueror randomly crashes when cutting and pasting a file. For example see: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3008 http://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskto… This problem should now have been fixed by tdebase#178 (https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/178). Given the random nature of the issue, before merging the patch to the master branch we would like to have additional feedback from users who experienced the problem before. For this, Slavek has updated PSB/PTB packages with the aforementioned patch and already published them. Appreciated if users of PSB/PTB could report if no more crashes on cut-n-paste are experienced. Cheers Michele

wheezy update woes?

by Gene Heskett

Greetings; Updated one on my milling machines today but had a minor problem. E: /var/cache/apt/archives/knetwalk-trinity_4%3a14.0.10~pre19-0debian7.0.0+7_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/opt/trinity/share/apps/carddecks/cards-aisleriot/COPYRIGHT', which is also in package tdegames-card-data-trinity 4:14.0.10~pre19-0debian7.0.0+7 So I'll have to fix broken but it doesn't fix this.

Konsole freeze on (UTF?) characters

by Ernest Beinrohr

Hi. Since upgrading to fedora 33 my konsole began freezing when it encounters non-ascii characters. I've tried different fonts and even installed TDE on a new fedora VM, still freezes. For example : cat /usr/share/applications/*

Is there a way to change the colour of the indentation marker in HTML mail?

by J Leslie Turriff

Some of the mail I get is HTML-only, and has vertical bars for indentation markers instead of >. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to see (much like the break markers in toolbars. Is there a way to change their colour? I tried modifying the Alternative Background Color in settings, but that didn't help. Leslie

kweather does not update weather data

by Stefan Krusche

Good day! Has anyone noticed that kweather applet doesn't update weather data anymore since some weeks? More exactly, weather data for "Berlin-Tegel". Kweather comes obviously with a database from which you can choose your location (airport). For Berlin that used to be "Berlin-Tegel" and "Berlin-Tempelhof" (which is dead since 2009). I checked with "Braunschweig" and it shows actual current data. Last time that happened the URL for retrieving the data had changed on the part of the server (noaa.gov). This URL was hardcoded in the source of the software and one of the developers had to change it (Tim did that) and it worked again since. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce offers a lot of services on nws.noaa.gov where the local weather data used to be served as single html pages which were named according to their respective ICAO-Codes (airport IDs). I suspect they again changed something, but I couldn't find anything relevant on their homepage in a couple of minutes. "QCLCD ASCII Files are no longer available. Please use the Global-Hourly File Access link above." I don't know what "QCLCD" means. I'm only guessing here anyway. Maybe only kweather's database of available airport weather stations needs to be updated… Kind regards, Stefan

Try trinity-mplayerthumbs or just mplayerthumbs What distro btw (not that it would make a diff I think)? Kate PS it works well here.
