I succeeded in installing the baghira theme on both of my desktops.
However on both, the TDE Control Module (tdecmshell) crashed afterwards
with a segfault. Upon attempting to report the crash, it reported that
the debugger 'gdb' was not found. Attached are screenshots.

Trinity Desktop Environment: 14.0.10 - Debian: 10.10 (amd64)
I've already made inquiry to the ProtonMail Bridge people. The bridge is a very big wad of stuff that encrypts and otherwise handles mail before sending it to ProtonMail. It on the Kmail end, it wants KMail to send the mail to 127.0.0.1, using a long, hashed password that the bridge generates. I've used it since early beta. I haven't heard back from ProtonMail, which isn't a surprise -- it's late Saturday in Switzerland. The bridge supports a very limited number of clients -- ProtonMail is primarily a webmail service -- and KMail is not among them, though setting up KMail to use it was fairly trivial, even in early beta. On the rare occasion it hasn't worked, it has thrown a message saying that it couldn't log in to 127.0.0.1 and the problem is probably the password, but restarting the bridge and KMail virtually always has fixed this. Now, though, there are no errors thrown -- it says there's no new mail even though there clearly is new mail, as witness their webmail and the ElectronMail client that accesses the webmail hooks.
I'd check a different account with KMail if I had any, but I don't.
OTOH, using ProtonMail's apps on, for instance, the iPad works normally.

There having been no new mail in KMail (which comes from ProtonMail via
ProtonMail Bridge) for about 12 hours, even though it has been arriving at
ProtonMail and is viewable elsewhere, I restarted KMail from a terminal,
and got:
~$ kmail
[TDE NM Backend ERROR]
[../tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1706]
Attempting to access the network-manager VPN service returned:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name

This with TDE R14.0.11 [DEVELOPMENT] under Linux 5.4.0-77-generic on Ubuntu

Is this abnormal behavior? If so, any idea how to fix?
Thanks.

Strange behavior from KMail today. Among other things, the subjects listed
in the inbox are not the same as the subjects of the actual messages --
they become correct when clicked on, but turn back to what they were when
another message is clicked.
I think that rebuilding the indices is on order, but don't know a way to
force it. Is there a nondestructive way to do so?
Thanks.

Hi!
In KDE3 installations, there is a Desktop folder in the home directory,
which contains the app icons displayed on the desktop, e.g.,
/home/gianluca> ls Desktop/
kinfocenter.desktop Office.desktop Support.desktop trash.desktop
MozillaFirefox.desktop Printer.desktop SuSE.desktop
However, in TDE the folder Desktop/ is empty. Is there another place where
the app icons are stored? I would like to create a Desktop shortcut for
firefox and I'm not sure whether I can just copy
Desktop/MozillaFirefox.desktop from an older KDE3 installation.
Thanks!
Gianluca

Hi!
I wonder whether there is a way to remove some of the tray icons in the
panel. For example, I get two clipboards: the trinity clipboard and the
parcellite clipboard. I would like to get rid of the parcellite clipboard.
I can close it for the current session by right-cliking it and chooseing
"Exit", but at the next login it reappears. Is the only way to achieve it
to uninstall parcellite?
Thanks,
Gianluca

Hi all,
I'm launching a series of threads related to the migration of individual
services. The main web server was listed first.
-- Migration status --
The web server is already successfully migrated to the virtual machine on
the tde-box. It was migrated almost unchanged. The changes concerned only:
1. Service alerts - instead of a manually maintained page, the real status
of services is now displayed.
Additional work is required to ensure that the retrieval status of the
services is properly distributed among the individual servers where the
services are active (eg, the mail server for the status of the mailing
list services).
2. API documentation - search is not active, instead of Qt3 documentation
TQt documentation is now published, instead of old KDE documentation, TDE
documentation is published (tdelibs and tdebase).
Further changes will be needed here. However, there will be a need to
discuss how to maintain and generate documentation.
3. Supported RFEs - the page is now static and since we do not currently
have a way to accept monetary donations, this page is suitable for removal
and replacement in a new way sometime in the future.
4. List of active mirrors - now provides a better overview of the status of
mirrors.
-- What needs to be done --
1. Webhook for automatic update when pushing commits to git.
2. New bot for recording history / interaction on IRC and Jabber rooms.
Currently, IRC history is being retrieved from the old Tim's server.
3. There could be some small changes in style - for example, for better
display on mobile devices.
4. The menu could be revised - there some links are almost duplicated -
Documentation × API Docs, some fully duplicated Home/Contact × Support,
Bugs × Support/Bugs, Wiki × Support/Wiki.
5. Some changes in the content.
-- More ideas and suggestions?
Does everything work fine with the web server?
Do you have any other ideas and suggestions?
Cheers

Dear TDE users,
I just installed TDE on openSUSE Leap 15.2 and I really like it. Thank you
so much!
I have a question about special keyboard characters such as the german
Umlaute ä, ö, ü or the italian/french accents. Normally in Linux you can
hold down the key <Shift> and then press <Ctrl>, which sets you into
"Compose mode". Then, you can press for example the high quotes " and then
a voyel like a, o, u and they are displayed with the dots on top. This is
not working in openSUSE Leap 15.2 with TDE (same with LXDE). It just
prints '"a'. In past versions, I had to set the variable QT_IM_MODULE to
xim, but in openSUSE Leap 15.2 it is already set to xim and I still cannot
compose Umlaute or accents.
If anybody has any ideas or has figured it out, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Gianluca

Hi, everybody!
In that gThumb, which I used for years, has had everything useful about it
removed, I sought alternatives. I often need to edit IPTC data embedded in
photographs; while gThumb used to do this well it now does it poorly.
For most uses, I employ the excellent Photini
(https://photini.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/installation.html ), but
from time to time I need just to pop into a picture to check or edit the
IPTC data. The Trinity version of Gwenview is good for this. But to get to
those data, one needs Plugins > Images > Metadata >Edit IPTC. Possibly
because it comes apparently from a plugin, there's no way I can find to
shorten this chain -- certainly can't move it to, say, a toolbar.
So I'm wondering if in fact there is a way to do just that, either move it
to a top-level menu or to add it to the toolbar. I realize that this would
probably involve screwing around with the code.
And yes, I know it's probably in opposition to standards set by the World
Health Organization or UEFA or somebody. I'm just hoping that someone here
is familiar enough with the code to give me an idea what I need to change
to produce the desired ressult.
Thanks!
