[opensuse 15.2] missing window decorations
by Felix Miata 18 Mar '21

18 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? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

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 ...

Never mind; it seems that when View => Filter => Remove spam is checked, nothing is displayed. Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64 Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.9 tde-config: 1.0

Still having issues with Firefox and Thunderbird on TDE
by Edward 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Unfortunately, I am still having issues with Thunderbird and Firefox, where Thunderbird creates Blogs & News Feeds, instead of sending a link for Firefox to open. But if Thunderbird mysteriously behaves as expected and it sends the link to Firefox to open, Firefox will then display it's not the default web browser, yet running a command to check the default browser, shows it's Firefox. I have attached a screengrab of the two windows. Is there any harm in uninstalling Konqueror from TDE and using something else as a file manager? The only other solution I see, would be to uninstall both Firefox and Thunderbird and use Vivaldi and it's mail client (after it's turned on) and use that from now on. OS: Debian 10 stable Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Just curious (Ghost process)
by Thierry de Coulon 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hello all, I use (a little) a program named "TV-Browser" that regularely has trouble closing. Now I see this: TV-Browser completely crashed on quit. So I fired KSysGuard and killed it. Now, there is no more TV-Browser in KSysGuard, but the program window is still there (I can move it to another Desktop and get it out of the way) . Anyone understand what's happening? Thierry

ICEauthority fixed
by James Leone 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

I have figured out what to do to resolve the ICEauthority issue. First make a directory called .xdgr in the home directory and give the owner read, write and execute permissions. None to any other user. in console cd ~ mkdir .xdgr chmod 0700 .xdgr Second, tell the system that you want the XDG_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY to be in that folder. Add the following to /home/username/.profile XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=~/.xdgr My system is now back to normal and my applications are running great. It took a long time to get there though. James Leone

Text color on "Plastic" inactive tabs
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 14 Mar '21

14 Mar '21

It looks like "Plastic" uses windows background color / default forground color for the active tab, but button background color / default forground color for the inactive tabs - see attached screenshot. Is there a way to make it use button background color / button forground color for inactive tabs? Or is this a limitation of TQT?
