I had to uninstall and reinstall firefox-mozilla-build (from the
Ubuntuzilla repository) to correct an issue. Once this process was
completed, I noticed the Firefox entry is now *not* on the TDE Internet
menu.
I am using the 14.0.11pre packages and was wondering if that could be why?
Thanks in advance.

Ran Synaptic and reinstalled great gobs of TDE -- libs, base, anything that
looked as if it might be pertinent.
Logged out. Logged back in. Menu restored. If this message sends, then that
problem is also solved.
Thanks, Mavridis!
Oh, and still got the r14 errors, all three of them. In that I rarely
reboot -- though they're an annoyance when I do, and they indicate
something wrong -- I can live with them.
btw, I don't think that I'm operating packages from different versions of
TDE, though if something got dropped from the TDE distribution I suppose
I'd still have an older version.

Where I have Firefox installed from the Ubuntuzilla repository and
Chromium installed from snap, neither browser is listed when
/update-alternatives --config x-www-browser/ is accessed, it only lists
Konqueror. Is this correct behavior since Firefox and Chromium are not
/native/ Debian packages?
The other issue: I have /meteo-qt/ launching at desktop startup, this is
an app(let) that when used with an API key from OpenWeather, displays
the local weather with an icon. The weather information coming in from
it is from my hometown, where TDE's weather applet lists the local
cities that have airports and pulls in the weather from the nearest
airport station. Both reports have indicated different temperatures, but
I like using it. The problem here, is that meteo-qt appears to be
launching at TDE startup - multiple times. I have seen as many as four
of its icons on the TDE panel and I have to Exit out of the extras,
leaving just one.
On LXQT, it only loads in once.
Is there something I can look at WRT the meteo-qt issue?
Thanks again.

Happy Sunday.
Facing the alternatives of going outside on a beautiful afternoon so as to
simultaneously feed the ticks and make the grass shorter or staying inside
and trying to figure out what's wrong with my Konversation installation,
I've chosen the latter, at least until it gets so annoying that losing
blood to and gaining infection from arachnid parasites becomes more
attractive. (There's a sales slogan: "Preferable to Lyme disease!")
When I fire up Konversation I get a screen that says this, over and over as
time passes:

If I kill the "connection" and go to File > Server List > Libera.Chat and
click "Edit" to take a look at things, I'm first challenged for a
password -- I have none -- and if I look at the details of
#trinity-desktop I'm challenged for a password again -- still don't have
one. I do see under "Default Identity" something called Auto Identity with
a service called "nickserve" and a password of eight dots, so apparently
this was set up at some point. And looking in the logs I can confirm that
I've connected with (or in the case of libera.chat, at least tried to
connect), to wit:

It turns out that I've tried to connect to libera.chat before, according to
the log, on June 24. (I don't remember doing this and can't imagine why I
would have other than to fire it up and see what was there. In that this
exciting experiment got ended after four minutes -- same error as above,
but it might have taken me a few minutes to realize that closing it
doesn't really close it, just moves it to a tiny kicker icon; RMB on that
is needed to extinguish the thing.)
The logs tell me that I've had no problem connecting in the pre-snit past
to freenode, where the Gemini and Sailfish chat was really useful in
configuring the then-new Gemini running Sailfish. Virtually instant
responses, but that was because we were all trying to achieve pretty much
the same goal, and as discoveries were made they became available. But I
digress.
What I cannot determine is whether my VPN use -- I have ProtonVPN, one of
the few real VPNs, not a no-longer-working Netflix scam -- figures into it
not working now.
Looking at the Livera.Chat website, I see that they want irc.libera.chat,
not ircs. And port 6697, not 6667. I changed these, and:

etc.
This is scarcely of much importance -- if chat is going to be used to rail
on, it's of minimal interest to me, But it exists and I thought I'd take a
look. Of course, having anything on my machine that doesn't work irritates
the hell out of me, though not as much as, say, a case of Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever.
Am I doing anything in my configuration that's obviously in error?

Let's not annoy users and make it more difficult to search the archives.
There's plenty of appropriate forums so you don't need to discuss off
topic topics here.
Thanks,

Hey Hunter,
I wandered around matrix.org, and it’s pretty confusing as to what it actually
does. Would you mind providing some links that give a good high level
summary of what this Matrix thing is? What it provides (is it some variant
of forum software?)? What a person would need to do to be able to use it?
And how you envision it being able to replace the TDE mailing lists? (<= I’m
assuming that’s what you’re meaning.)
Case in point, this https://matrix.org/docs/guides/introduction might be good
for a hardcore geek, but to the average Joe Linux user it’s mostly
gobbledygook.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi all!
Maybe some have alredy noticed: the new EU censorship regime is randomly blocking mails to mailinglist like TDE. I just had a talk with my mail provider and it's not encouraging. e.g:
My last reply to the list with the link from hunters mail (I cannot place the link in here, 'cause it blocks this mail) was blocked from sending by the providers SMTP server as spam. GMX deleted the mail without any error message. For now the filters work on the message body, not the mail headers.
So my question: Can we set up a gnupgp public key to the list, so that the mails cannot be suppressed by the cencorship mail content filters? The encrypted mails can be decryptied automaticly and the fed into the mailinglist.

I believe that that feature is controlled by Appearance and Themes => Window Decorations
in TDE Control Center, or possibly in Appearance and Themes => Colors.
And now I see that it is in Appearances and Themes => Colors. In the right pane, "Widget
Color", select Active Window Frame and set your desired color by clicking on the
horizontal bar below.
