information for TDE developers: Debian/Buster/10.10 with backports
by James D Freels 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

This is not a request for help, but rather, a note of information for the development team; especially for the Debian/Buster version of the code. I am running Debian/Buster/10.10 stable release. Just today, upon encouragement from my son (who is also a Linux advocate), I updated my kernel and nvidia driver to the latest version now offered through the debian/buster-backports portal. This brought the kernel from v4.19 to v5.10, and the nvidia driver from 418.197 to 460.73. This turned out to be a significant improvement for using TDE and my machine in general. In particular, the memory management is much cleaner, and the response of the entire system system much quicker. So far, everything seems to work much better. I might suggest you give this a try. I have been most impressed ! -- James D. Freels, Ph.D., P.E. freelsjd(a)gmail.com 865-457-6742 (landline) 865-919-0320 (cell)

Make it stop!

Greets, folks . . . This is a weird one. I unfortunately have the RAW-handling photo application LightZone as forst in my RAW file association, so when I accidentally clicked on a RAW file today it opened. (It didn't open that file, btw, because LightZone is flaky and opens what it had open the last time it was run, just one of several reasons I really don't like it.) I tried to close LightZone, but it wouldn't close. I did 'killall lightzone', but nope, still there. Mouse arrow turns to point-left-horizontally when I enter the window. Top reports no LightZone processes running. I have deleted LightZone and its configuration files. Still no joy. I have a *huge* file copy underway -- should take the next 10 hours or so. So I'd just as soon not reboot. Oddly, I can still moved the window around, maximize it, minimize it -- just not close it entirely. It seems to have just enough aslive that I can't get a "window not responding" error. Nothing inside the window, which is to say in the program itself, responds at all. Whatcha think? Any idea how to kill it? I've never encountered such a thing before. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

re. KMail index issues
by dep 29 Jun '21

What mailbox format is being used during the failures, maildir or mbox? Might make a difference. (I've always thought maildir is safer than mbox, because one maildir file gets corrupted and one message is lost, while one mbox bit gets flipped and all the messages are lost.) dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

I didn't know that the Pager can do this.

Something that a Plasma user is complaining about, I never knew was possible. It is very nice! Leslie ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Fedora-34 breaks KDE pager Date: 2021-06-26, 09:01:14 From: Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh(a)pacbell.net> To: kde(a)mail.kde.org In versions up to Fedora-34, dragging a window icon in the pager from one desktop to another used to move the related window from that desktop to the other.

Indices rebuilt :/
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Ok, at last I got hit by the same problem: Each time I start kamail, one index file wants to be rebuilt. Please not, not all index files, just one. Deleting all *.index and *.index.ids does not change anything. What I did: 2 days ago: dist-upgrade --> everything works as expected, not strange messages. Just some hours ago: dist-upgrade pulled in some TDE updates --> index files of one folder gets rebuilt when I start kmail.

Featured Theme on Trinity News page
by Edward 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/images/4/44/TDE-screen1.png Hi. Does anyone know what theme is used in this graphic on Trinity's News page? It doesn't look like it came with the default TDE Debian packages that were installed - this assumes I have installed all packages. Or perhaps there's a package I haven't installed, which includes this? Thanks in advance. Ed -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience. TDE: 14.0.10 - Debian: 10.10 (amd64)
