Is Bluetooth free?
by lee892533＠gmail.com 09 Jan '25

Yes, the songs are transmitted to your headphones, but that's over a paired Bluetooth connection between the headphone and the phone. And there's no cost to that. You only pay for the data transmitted to your smart device over the phone company's network by way of using the app. https://spacebarcounter.org

Error - Kicker; Malformed URL; system:/
by Felix Miata 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

I see this error popup on various installations. The instant one is a 32bit Bookworm freshly upgraded from Bullseye with 14.0.12. Bullseye does it too. The trigger is left clicking on the menu starter. On those where it ever occurs, it only happens once. Trying again after dismissing the popup always works. Anyone familiar with it, what to do to eliminate it? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

kpdf does not show some fonts

Hi all; Maybe somebody can reproduce this: opening the attached pdf in kpdf only shows the formulas, but not the text. Opening the same pdf in xpdf works flawless. kpdf-trinity 4:14.1.0~s218-0debian12.0.0+13~b1 Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Ksnapshot
by phiebie＠drei.at 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Trinity 14.0.6 preliminary. Don't know if it is a feature of ksnapshot or a misconfiguration somewhere from me, but it is getting absolutely annoying what happens. I have a website, a document or whatsoever on my screen in full A4-papersize. Now I want a printout of a small part of it. Call ksnapshot, choose "region" "new snapshot" and then draw a border around the desired part. Press "print" and then print it. Bull... I get a print in landscape, useless and even worse not even the original layout reappears. Stop ksnapshot, restart it and same procedure with again the same miserable result. Stop, restart, same procedure but no actual printing, instead I look into the printer properties. And there, big surprise, landscape was marked as to be printed BUT all 4 orientations were grayed out, so I couldn't change that. Checked in tdeprint the printersettings, nothing wrong, in "instances" "settings" all 4 orientations were available and portrait was marked as to be applied in the default printer. Checked kprinter and of course the settings of tdeprint were there also valid. But then I had an idea. If I selected in ksnapshot a larger part of the screen, say more than half A4, what would happen? Yes, some ugly words from me and there it was: portrait was marked but still all 4 possibilities grayed out. So ksnapshot decides how it wants to print and doesn't leave the user a chance to get a result, that he wants. Utterly bull.... Any suggestion, where I could look to alter this behaviour? Phiebie.

can one auto-fit image previews in konqueror?
by D. R. Evans 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

One of the very few things I find annoying about konqueror in TDE is that, when using it as a file manager, if I click on an image file (a .png, for example), the preview it shows me is not correctly sized to the visible pane. Rather, it seems to be displayed, always, at full size... which means that most of the time it doesn't actually fit in the pane and I can see only a portion of the image. I don't think there's any way to change this behaviour, but I thought I'd better ask here before filing a feature request. So, is there some way to change this behaviour so that the image is scaled correctly so that it always fits in the pane? (Fitting images to the pane is the way the konqueror works in plasma5, for example -- although "modern" konqueror has so many other annoyances that I find it unusable; but the "automatic-fit-images-to-the-pane" behaviour is a great improvement on the TDE behaviour described above.)

Repository path change for ArchLinux users
by Slávek Banko 30 Oct '22

30 Oct '22

Hello to all ArchLinux users, in connection with the release of TDE R14.0.13, it is necessary to draw attention to one change that concerns the path to the repository. Since we added support for other architectures and therefore binary packages for multiple architectures are provided, there was a need to modify the path in the repository so that there are individual folders for individual architectures. Therefore you will need to edit your pacman.conf and add "/$arch" to the repository path. See page on TDE Wiki. https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Arch_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instru… Cheers -- Slávek

Creating TDE Themes: kate/kwrite colors missing

Hi all! I just noticed, that creating a TDE theme does not include the color settings for kate and kwrite. Is there a way to include these into the *.xml of the theme? Or by some other trick? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

kmail and OAUth
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hello all, My school uses Office 365, also for mail. I used to be able to get my mail using imap and be able to answer these mails using Office's smtp. Now they activated two factor authentication and kmail can't access anymore. I had to remove this imap access as it tended to block kmail (that was waiting for me to act on it's error message). I've solved the problem of receiving the mail (which is the most important) by simply forwarding to my usual account (which is linked to my website). However, I have to log in m$ stuff (online) to answer because Oulook refuses mails from my private mail server. It looks like they use something named OAuth and this does not appear to exist in TDE's kmail. Does someone know if it's possible to tweak settings so as to communicate with OAuth? I can try to ask our IT people but they usually simply answer that Linux is not supported and I should run Windows... Thierry
