libjasper1 missing
by James D Freels 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Hello TDE users ! I am testing installing TDE, or separate TDE packages such as konqueror-trinity, on my chromebook/crostini/linux vm. Upon the initial install (apt-get install kdesktop-trinity), it is short a package called libjasper1. I check on my reference linux desktop with TDE installed and running fine. Sure enough, it has a package called libjasper1 installed. However, if I try to reinstall it just to get the package file to use on the chromebook, it is no longer available. So, either libjasper1 is used in TDE and it is not available anymore under debian/buster, or the package needed by TDE needs to be obtained from some other place. Where do we get libjasper1 now? Is this a TDE bug ? -- James D. Freels, Ph.D., P.E. freelsjd(a)gmail.com 865-457-6742 (landline) 865-919-0320 (cell)

Default browser setting?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear Trinitarians, Decided to move away from Chrome, Brave seems to be working, but Kmail is opening links in Chrome. So. I know I was using Firefox many years ago, so I remember changing it once in the past. I haven't been able to find the setting for "Open URL with....", not globally, not in Kmail. Any hints?

apt wants to remove lots of tde as unused

Greetings all; While installing a firewall rule manager that needed ipset, apt advised me of a rather lengthy list of stuff I should "apt autoremove" The list: The following packages will be REMOVED: amor-trinity arts-trinity blinken-trinity cervisia-trinity cvs desktop-base-trinity edict eyesapplet-trinity fifteenapplet-trinity flac fonts-dustin gnuift gnuift-perl indi-trinity juk-trinity kaboodle-trinity kalzium-data-trinity kalzium-trinity kanagram-trinity kanjidic kappfinder-trinity kasteroids-trinity katomic-trinity kaudiocreator-trinity kbackgammon-trinity kbattleship-trinity kblackbox-trinity kbounce-trinity kbruch-trinity kcoloredit-trinity kcron-trinity kdat-trinity kdvi-trinity keduca-trinity kenolaba-trinity kfax-trinity kfaxview-trinity kfouleggs-trinity kgamma-trinity kgeography-data-trinity kgeography-trinity kgoldrunner-trinity khangman-trinity kig-trinity kimagemapeditor-trinity kiten-trinity kjumpingcube-trinity klatin-trinity klettres-data-trinity klettres-trinity klickety-trinity klines-trinity klinkstatus-trinity klipper-trinity kmahjongg-trinity kmenuedit-trinity kmines-trinity kmoon-trinity kmplot-trinity kmrml-trinity knetwalk-trinity knetworkconf-trinity kodo-trinity kolf-trinity kolourpaint-trinity kommander-trinity konquest-trinity kpackage-trinity kpat-trinity kpercentage-trinity kpoker-trinity kpovmodeler-trinity krec-trinity kreversi-trinity kruler-trinity ksame-trinity kscd-trinity kshisen-trinity ksirtet-trinity ksmiletris-trinity ksnake-trinity ksnapshot-trinity ksokoban-trinity kspaceduel-trinity kstars-data-trinity kstars-trinity ksysguard-trinity ksysguardd-trinity ksysv-trinity kteatime-trinity ktip-trinity ktouch-trinity ktron-trinity ktuberling-trinity kturtle-trinity ktux-trinity kuser-trinity kverbos-trinity kview-trinity kviewshell-trinity kvoctrain-trinity kwordquiz-trinity kxsldbg-trinity libarts1-audiofile-trinity libarts1-xine-trinity libcvsservice0-trinity libgnuift0c2a libhpmud0 libkiten1-trinity libminizip1 libmrml1c2a libpoppler-tqt libre2-3 libtdeedu3-trinity libtiff-tools libtqt3-integration-trinity libxml-handler-trees-perl libxml-writer-perl lskat-trinity poster quanta-data-trinity quanta-trinity sudo-trinity synaptic-trinity tdeadmin-tdefile-plugins-trinity tdeadmin-trinity tdeartwork-style-trinity tdeartwork-theme-icon-trinity tdeartwork-theme-window-trinity tdeartwork-trinity tdeedu-data-trinity tdeedu-trinity tdefilereplace-trinity tdegames-card-data-trinity tdegames-trinity tdegraphics-tdefile-plugins-trinity tdegraphics-trinity tdeiconedit-trinity tdelibs-trinity tdemid-trinity tdemultimedia-kappfinder-data-trinity tdemultimedia-tdefile-plugins-trinity tdemultimedia-trinity tdescreensaver-trinity tdescreensaver-xsavers-trinity tdetoys-trinity tdewallpapers-trinity tdewebdev-trinity ttf-sjfonts twin4-trinity vorbis-tools xcalib xscreensaver-data xscreensaver-gl 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 154 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

(!) And, Newfoundland (NF) is now Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). This seems to be up to date now. Note, though, that abbreviations in the nsd_cccc.txt file might not be as up-to-date as this list: :-) | New | Old (Eng., Fr) | Name | ----- | --------------- | --------------------- | AB | Alta, Alb | Alberta | BC | B C, C-B | British Columbia | MB | Man | Manitoba | NB | N B, N-B | New Brunswick | NL | Nfld,N L, T-N-L | Newfoundland and Labrador | NS | N S, N-E | Nova Scotia | NT | N W T, T N-O | Northwest Territories | NU | Nvt, Nt | Nunavut | ON | Ont | Ontario | PE | P E I, I P E | Prince Edward Island | QC | Que, Qc, PQ, QU | Quebec | SK | Sask | Saskatchewan | YT,YK | Yuk, Yn | Yukon Territory Many of the entries in nsd_cccc.txt have the province appended to the location instead of in the State field, but many more have none at all. What fun! Leslie --

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.

Desktop Icon Text
by Edward 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Regarding the desktop icon text, is there a setting somewhere for this? When Thunderbird was added to the desktop, "Thunderbird" was truncated with the 'rd' appearing on a second line. But when in the Properties, if the name is changed to 'Thunderbird Mail', the word 'Thunderbird' then appears entirely on one line. The monitor resolution is 1920x1080. Screenshots showing both are attached. Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

I LOVE kooldock. Thanks. I use it for all me clients, especially those with special needs and/or visual impairments and kids, who think it's "space stuff" like Star Trek. It's a God send and an incredibly useful tool. Thank you so much! Kate
