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?

Hi all!
I just noticed that on daedalus sftp:/...-URLs do not work any more. Konqueror is stuck with a rotating circle and eventually times out. fish:/...-URLs work, but calculating the disk size of remote directories is kind of buggy, e.g. 22GB are counted as 9GB.
Did somebody see this, too?

This issue just started, seemingly out of the blue. My system has been running
just fine, and I haven't made any changes or installed anything new or
upgraded in a long time.
The first signs I had were earlier this evening, when suddenly one of my
external hard drives was not recognized. When I tried mounting and
unmounting, everything seemed very slow; still couldn't get it to recognize
that external hard drive. Finally I unmounted everything, then tried just
that hard drive, and it mounted normally.
When I tried to open it, however, Konqueror started acting really weird, and a
window opened but nothing was displayed.
At last I decided to reinstall my system, but after booting up again, nothing
has changed in this behavior. I did finally get a message window (not in TDE
style, but rather in XFCE or Gnome or whatever) saying something
like "message bus could not connect, connection refused - but why all of a
sudden? Everything has been running great.
It occurs to me that somebody on the mailing list mentioned that Konqueror was
acting a little weird, and I wondered if this could be related.
I am running Devuan Chimaera (= Debian Bullseye) and currently using the TDE
stable repositories.
Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings!
I may have fumbled and hit two keys or something but now I don´t have
a regular apostrophe (I get ´ instead) or regular double quotes (I get
¨ instead).
I´m on TDE on Q4OS Buster. I´m sure someone has a quick fix at
hand....
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Whenever I call kpdf to view a pdf-document, it starts as a "small"
ribbon of approximately 240x1100 pixels on the top of the desktop. Of
course this window can be elongated via mouse actions. Tedious.
I altered the kpdf.desktop-file to execute "/opt/trinity/bin/kpdf
--geometry 950x1170 --caption "%c"" and now the window is expanded to
my liking.
But when Slavek releases an alteration to the kpdf package - quite often
the case - my .desktop gets overwritten and I get again the ribbon. And
must again correct the .desktop-file. Pita.
Is there a method to keep this file in "my" state and not overwrite it
blindely? The "i" flag is not a viable solution.
Rgds. Peter.
After upgrading to Debian 11 on both of my two systems, upon reboot, I
lost the TDE Display Manager. The login screen defaults to whatever
Debian itself uses and I have been unsuccessful getting the TDE login
manager back.
> ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity
> tdm.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.
Also...during the upgrade, one of the packages it wanted to remove was
binutils, which it did. It left a package binutils-common installed, but
not upgraded. If I attempted to remove binutils-common, it also wanted
to remove numerous Trinity packages.
Is there a fix for these issues??

Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.
Trinity Desktop Environment: 14.0.10 - Debian: 10.10 (amd64)
When I try to send a message I get the warning shown in the attached
image saying not all characters fit into the chosen encoding.
Could someone please give me a hint what to do?
Normally I would poke around and try to find something but I'm
testing some changes to our spam filter by forwarding an 84MB email
and with that compose window open my system is just a touch slow
right now.
Thanks,

Greets, everybody . . .
I probably knew how to do this back in the second Bush administration, but
I'm confounded by it now.
My hope is to add to my KMenu an application -- it's gui and runs on my
system -- that is started by a shell script. What I don't know is what to
put in the command field in KMenu's entry for the item.
In case it matters, the script is /opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui.sh and
this is it:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/dvda-author
cd /opt/dvda-author
/opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui
cd -
unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
So. Anybody know what I ought to put in the DVD-Author command box in
KMenu? DVD-Author appears to be the only foss application for making audio
DVDs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Anyone know how to mass edit all entries in a sub-menu?
I’d like to change all of the entries in the Internet sub-menu by adding
a ‘nice’ to the beginning of each launch command. Example:
firefox %u
-to-
nice -n 5 firefox %u
I’ll want to do most of the other sub-menus, so it’s not just specific to the
Internet sub-menu. Also, would these be overwritten by anything (e.g. is
there a sticky bit I’d need to set somewhere else?)?
Thanks,
Michael
Hi all!
I just noticed: When I "reply to list", then kmail does not use the email address I specified to be used for answers in this folder. Does that happen to other's, too? My kmail is version 4:14.1.0~s274-0debian12.0.0+10~a, I am quite sure it worked on 14.0.1.
