Konqueror files search bar
by ajh-valmer 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello again, Konqueror with Buster Debian 10, had a files search bar above, on the right, just next to the address bar. (filter to see some files not all). This bar, very useful, has disappeared on Bullseye Debian 11. I don't see in Konqueror configuration, how to put it again... Happy sunday, André

Kmail SMTP Error - tdeio-smtp?
by Hunter Ellett 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

I am unable to send my emails to this group on Kmail due to the following error: "Authorization failed, Authentication support is not compiled into tdeio_smtp. authentication not supported" I've had this problem on FreeBSD and Devuan before where my emails wouldn't send but never got an error message. Usually it would start to work after some time. But here I get this error consistently, I even tried to rebuild tdepim and tdelibs. I don't know which package has tdeio_smtp but the Slackbuild seems to build without this support. -- ~ Hunter Sent from my Android device with K9 Mail

by chr4pc＠free.fr 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Dear all, I am a long-time and happy user of the Trinity desktop, which is a wonderful continuation to KDE 3.x. I am try to sep up my laptop to automatically "Suspend to RAM" after a given time without user activity, but i can't figure out the setting. Could you please give me some pointers? The configuration: Thinkpad T400 (RAM 4go) Q4OS 3.15.2-n1 (Debian 10 Buster-based, 64bit distribution) The following interactive commands work: sudo systemctl suspend sudo bash && echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state Best regards

I have Ctrl+D to continue in recovery mode or type root passwd. Only one solution, type "killall tdm" to connect to tde-desktop. > If you see this message, give it a Ctrl+D first (without logging in) and > see what happens and if you get the tdm login screen afterwards > or not. Cheers Michele Hi Michele, /var/log/tdm.log exists but empty. /var/log/tdm.1.log : "info: Cannot open master configuration file /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmdistrc". tdmdistrc doesn't exist in this folder. I can login to tde-desktop with lightdm, not with tdm-trinity. (even after a dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity). Now I have a clear understanding what happens without to be able to repair. The file /run/user/1000/ICEauthority is : -rw------- 1 andre andre 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority It becomes automatically quickly : -rw------- 1 root root 205 22 déc. 17:18 ICEauthority, after I receive the error messages allready indicated, DCOPserver and /home/andre./.Xauthority not writable : -rw------- 1 andre andre 59 22 déc. 17:18 .Xauthority It seems that there is a conflict between two users, root and andre. Thanks. Bye, cheers, André

Restore "classic" TDM look/functionality
by Hunter Ellett 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

In Slackware and also on FreeBSD (the latter if I recall), TDM has a different look than when I install it on something like Devuan for example. Particularly it has a rounded and transparent KDE4 "Oxygen" look to it, and the options in the Display Manager module do not work when this kind of TDM is installed, like adding a clock, the logo, or changing the widget style. Tdmtheme is not installed. I thought it was tdmtheme that changed it to look like this out of the box but it doesn't seem to be related. It looks to be the default in certain TDE ports. Secondly to keep from posting twice I also can't access the Display Manager module. If I click on it the window does not open, and I'm not sure what it depends on that I may be missing since this is on Slack. -- ~ Hunter Sent from my Android device with K9 Mail

Screen not blanking
by c. marlow 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Fresh install of Debian 11 ( as of yesterday) Trinity Desktop 14 My screen is not going to sleep.... Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. For instance: I took a nap earlier... The password box said the session was locked at 2:01 PM CST. At 3:00 the screen was still on!! Also when the screen does turn off, it takes WAYYYYYYYYY over the time that I have it set for to blank off and turn off the screen. I have it set for: 25 for screensaver 26 for display standby 26 for display suspend 26 min to power off the screen. Sometimes its almost or right at an hour before the screen blanks off. I didn't have this problem with Gnome DE on Debian. Thanks, Chris

Resend: Ubuntu 20.04 and problems with konqueror: copy and paste files to a USB stick does not work
by Uwe Brauer 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

Sorry for possible double posting but that message got rejected somehow, it seems: Hi A friend of mine has Ubuntu 20.04 running (the installation is a year old and so is the corresponding trinity version, if necessary I can provide the precise version). In any case my friend has problem of copying files to USB sticks using konqeror. (The copying works from the command line, most sticks have vfat.), by problem with copying I mean the following. In konqueror: The file is marked to be copied, then the USB stick is opened, but the menu entry for pasting is in grey and cannot be used. I had a look at it and found out that deleting the cache helped, but it seems only for a while. Is there any alternative to konqueror available? Nautilus works, but is very very ugly and not that intuitive. Regards Uwe Brauer
