Check application-tdemenuedit.menue for '<Filename>kde-' in /var/tmp/tdecache-USER-r14-xdg-updte-violation-test9.txt" Named File has the entry: "<Filename>kde-potracegui.desktop</Filename>" twice When accept the shown message a new with "The r14-xdg-update script did not complete sucessfully... The error code is 9..." This messages come up every time I log in - so the promised repair did not realy work. What can I do to solve the error Menay thanks for any help Rolf

Storage Media mounter and Konqueror
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

In the Control Center, at Internet and Network => Web Browser => User Interface, there is a check box, 'Open as tab in existing Konqueror...' (see attachment). At Peripherals => Storage Media => Unmounted DVD I have set 'Open with Konqueror' as the default action (see attachment). The wording of the description of the effect of that check box leads me to believe that inserting a DVD into my drive should open a new tab in Konqueror, but it always opens a new window (see attachment). This looks like a bug to me. Your thoughts? Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64 Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.9 tde-config: 1.0

Adding additional DNS addresses
by Edward 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

I went into TCC/Internet & Network/Network Settings, added the two IP addresses for Cloudflare's DNS service and applied them. The apps will then use the Cloudflare DNS addresses only for that session, if logging out and rebooting, it will revert back to the ISP's DNS servers upon the next login. I was under the impression that such settings (which I have seen in other distros) were independent of whatever is in the system's resolv.conf file. Is there a way of permanently saving the other DNS addresses? The ISP's gateway software has their DNS addresses 'grayed out' (for lack of a better term) and they cannot be changed in the gateway. Cloudflare's DNS service has a faster response time than the ISP's, from here. Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

[tde-devels] [opensuse] missing window decorations
by Felix Miata 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

Which package(s) provide this? I have one installation where they are missing. Clearing caches didn't help. Which file(s) in ~/.trinity/share/config/ can be deleted to affect only window decorations and whatever else might be causing this? I sent this to the users list more than 60 hours ago and got zero responses so far. At the time it was in 15.2. This time I upgraded a freshly updated 15.2, then cloned it and upgraded the clone to 15.3 (keeping the 15.2 TDE repos), after which this occurred. I have others with both 15.2 and 15.3-using-15.2's-14.0.9 that are behaving as expected. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Print A4 documents on Letter paper from KPDF
by Edward 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

I deleted the e-mails on this subject, so I could not reply directly to one. I had a similiar issue where I was trying to print a PDF that was sized for US Legal (8½ by 14 inches) on US Letter (8½ by 11 inches). KPDF would not do this. I am running Debian 10 and installed qpdfview,which shows up on the TDE menu under Office as 'tabbed document viewer (qpdfview)'. When printing with qpdfview, on the Print dialog, there is an icon labeled 'Options'. Selecting this will display three tabs, one of them is 'Extended Options'. This tab contains a checkbox 'Fit to page' and it successfully shrunk it down to Letter size on the resulting printout. I just discovered that Evince is also installed, on the same TDE Office menu as 'Document Viewer'. Evince uses the system print dialog when printing, which includes options to shrink or fit to page. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Note on "libreoffice menubar gone" + TDE + devuan/debian
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hi all! Just in case anybody runs into the "libreoffice has no menubar"-problem: installing dbus-x11 will bring the menubar back. An other thing that you might run ointo: libreoffice by default uses x11 fallback interface, which is exceptionally ugly. You have to install "libreoffice-gtk3" and set "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3" in .profile to get a reasonably usabe GUI. (libreoffice-qt5 breaks any kind of printing from libreoffice) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
