FAS 32 and #
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

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 ...

Kpdf
by phiebie＠drei.at 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

This is my favourite PDF-viewer and as such I have in my mimeinfo.cache the entry "application/pdf=kpdf.desktop". Works perfect....until I update libreoffice-draw or google-chrome. At that moment the kpdf-entry gets erased and instead of it 'draw' or 'chrome' appears or even both. And I have to correct this entry manually again and again. Is there a possibility to add in the installscript of kpdf the same mechanism as in chrome and draw - a delete/replace statement? Regards, Peter.

Install not possible from Ubuntu Live CD's
by martin.bost＠netcologne.de 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

I followed the link to Ubuntu Live CD's with Trinity Desktop (http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/) where I found two versions of a Live CD: tde-14.0.8-ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Apr-27 23:16:49 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image and tde-14.0.9-ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Nov-06 04:36:35 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image I made USB install sticks for both of them and found the same error: both can be started without problems on different notebooks (Sony VAIO, Lenovo T520, Samsung NC10) and run smooth and error free from the stick. Whenever I try to do an installation - started the Live CD in the mode with possible install - on each of the nb's I always end up without a starting install process directly out of the start of the image but end up in a Trinity Desktop where I find links to install Ubuntu with Trinity. But when I use of the menu entries nothing happens and no message is shown. By fetching the install entry's command line out of the menu editor and calling it from a command line nothing is shown too. And when I => sudo -i and then => --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui' I only get the message "Could not find command-not-found database. Run 'sudo apt update' to populate it. --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: command not found" By running only the part "ubiquity gtk_ui" again I do not receive any message and an install is not started. The hole process of starting the image from the stick looks very similar as a normal install process for Ubuntu where the installation is directly started after choosing this option from the images start menu. When I do this with the Trinity images the install process is NOT started. Both versions do exactly the same. It would be very nice to get help on this because I figured out that the combination of Ubuntu 20.04 and Trinity 14.x even when started from a stick after boot run more but fast enough to be used as a very good alternative to Kubuntu even on old hardware like a Samsung Netbook NC10 from 2011 with 2 GB RAM and ARM450 CPU. So it would be nice to have the option to install from the Live CD's. Many thanks in advance !!!

Notes on 14.1.0
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hi all! I did a dist-upgrade yesterday on my devuan chimaera+tde14.1 machines. These are the things that I noticed: - TDE cannot mount CD/DVD any more, it gives an error "mount: /media/cdrom0: mount point does not exist.". I am not sure if that was already a problem on 14.0.x some time ago. however, I can mount CD/DVD from commandline. - Opening a media folder at it's actual mountpoint is gorgeous. Automouning with this feature is a great relieve, thank you! - I'd like to always open konqueror at the medias mountpount :) Is there an way to do this in 14.1 at the moment? Oh, and 14.1 is rock solid, haven't had a single issue on any machine I moved over. Great job! Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

14.1.0 : no preview image for video files
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Ok, this one is new to me: I lost the preview thumbnails for video files, but libarts1-xine-trinity is installed. When I open a folder with a videofile (mp4/mkv) I get this line in .xsession-errors : sh: 2: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string and the gear "T" just keeps spinneng forever. Any idea how I can get the thumbnails back? 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 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

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

kmail & spamassasin bugging me.
by Gene Heskett 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

kmail has nasty bug that is getting the best of me, specifically, if SA decides it is spam, I am blocked from replying to that message because only the SA report is quoted in the reply. Unless I copy/paste the message into the reply. That of course, if I do it rigt, needs another 5 minutes of editing to re-establish something that looks like proper quoting. You simply cannot get a message from amazon customer service that is rated at less than 10 by spamassassin. To top the insult, if you scroll thru the message format window at the bottom of the kmail screen, and select the html and 2 clicks later get the html displayed and it contains a reply button, it has been emasculated and does nothing regardless of how many times you click on it. Then, once you have the message on screen, its too tiny to read w/o a microscope, and so is the printout you would like to save for your records when the item being discussed is a better 3d printer with a shipped price just north of $1800 USD. The usual ctrl+ doesn't resize it either. All of this needs fixed. Thank you. Stay safe and well everybody.
