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

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.

Replace <enter> with <shift>+<enter> for OpenSCAD ?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 10 Dec '22

10 Dec '22

Hi all! Does anybody know if there's a TDE way to replace <enter> with <shift>+<enter> for just one specific application windows? Reasomn is, that the last update broke OpenSCAD input: to vreate a new line it now requires <shift>+<enter> instead of <enter>, which is kind of strange.

Re: can one auto-fit image previews in konqueror?
by Hunter Ellett 27 Nov '22

Speaking of this, is it possible to get thumbnails in the "tree" or "detailed list" views? I primarily use these and it only shows an image of the MIME type (a picture, a video)

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.)

how to force resize of kcalc-trinity?
by William Morder 24 Nov '22

24 Nov '22

Okay, so here's my problem. I want a basic calculator, at least the 4 functions, although I don't mind having other goodies, but I really just need a basic calculator for doing simple tasks like figuring out whether I have any money left in my account. I got kcalc-trinity downloaded, managed to change the colors to make it more visible, but now I find that it cannot be resized, nor the size of characters in the display enlarged. If not a Trinity program, then I'd be glad to try a non-TDE program, but there again I run into the same problem with every calculator I've tried. The only other one that I use sometimes is galculator, but while I can enlarge its size, the characters stay so tiny that I cannot read them, cannot make out the difference between x, +, and so on, and the keypad also has unreadable numbers. There was one that I remembered, qalculate, of which there was supposed to be a Trinity version, but neither the Trinity version nor any others (Gnome, gtk, etc.) with download and install. Something about dependencies, it seems, but when I did a search for the deb package, I get only an error page. Is there any calculator that I can resize both the gui frame of the program (not sure if that's the right terminology) as well as the size of the characters? Or is there some way that I could hack the Trinity version of kcalc to make it bigger? See attached screenshot for comparsion of the two top underperformers. Bill

Reliably play a sound without disrupting the screen?
by Michael 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

I need a sound played 10 minutes before each hour during the work day, such that it does not interfere with what’s on the screen, grab the mouse, or grab the keyboard. Scheduling it with cron is easy, but I can’t seem to get the sound to play reliably. I’m currently using: /usr/bin/play --no-show-progress --volume .5 /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Connect.ogg Sometimes that plays other times it’s silent. I’ve also tried: kaboodle /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Event_2.ogg Which always plays, but I don’t know how to start it either minimized, closed to the system tray, or some other way so it doesn’t cause issues. I’ve seen some hokey solutions using wmctrl and/or xdotool, but they still pop up the program (kaboodle) before minimizing it. AV isn’t really my forte, and I don’t really care what program works, does anyone have experience doing something like this? Thanks, Michael
