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.

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.

fish: vs. sftp:
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

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? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

[OT] Need help installing Ubuntu on an EFI (not UEFI) machine
by J Leslie Turriff 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hi, I've been using an EFI (not UEFI) system for years to run OpenSuSE Linux (since I have no Windoze on my machine I saw no reason to fool with UEFI, which had teething problems when I got my motherboard). Now I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20 LTS on a separate drive, but the installer is complaining about EFI and boot partitions. I've searched for help, but all I get is UEFI stuff. I don't want to reset my BIOS because then I wouldn't be able to boot back to my old system if I have problems with Ubuntu. Is anyone here interested in giving me a helping hand? TIA, Leslie -- Operating System: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.12 tde-config: 1.0

Camera mounts as Unknown Device
by Thierry de Coulon 31 May '22

31 May '22

I 'm not sure if this is rather a linux or a TDE question. I've got a new Canon Camera. When I connect it to my PC with an USB cable, it is mounted as mass storage (wich is very good). It has two SD cards that appear as two directories in a Konqueror window. So far so good. However, this window says "system:/media/Unknown Device 1-12:1.0" and it is nowhere to be found, not in /media/<user>, not in /mnt, mount also gives me nothing (or I don't know what to look for). So I can't unmount it, I have to turn the camera off. I don't think it's a real problem as the SD cards are exfat formated and I check that nothing's being read/writen, but I'd prefer to unmount. If the system can mount this "Unknown Device 1-12:1.0", it must be somewhere, no? I'm not looking for a way to open the camera in Digikam or so. Coying the files with Konqueror is just what I want, but I'd like a way to know the mounting point. I got the USB IDs so I was thinking of writing some udev rule. lsusb returns Bus 001 Device 012: ID 04a9:32f5 Canon, Inc. but there is no 012 or 12 in /dev/bus/usb...

how to use Kmail with the new Google monster?
by William Morder 25 May '22

25 May '22

Gmail is changing, yet again, so that we cannot use third-party apps. In the past, I have had problems using Kmail with Google stuff, but I changed my account settings to accept "less secure" apps, third-party apps, whatever, and then it was okay again. I finally got round to my Gmail account. I don't really use it much, as I hate Google, but it has been useful to have a Gmail account for some things. I wanted to go into my account and make whatever changes were necessary to make it work, but now I find that I cannot even load Gmail's login pages, account management pages, etc. I can only load help pages and the like. This is true (so far) for every browser I have tried. I have tried enabling all cookies, turning off private browsing, etc.; but my attempts to connect are treated as though I am behind a proxy even when I'm not, or that I am a bot, or something like that. I only use Gmail for "business", by which I mean stuff like shopping, for places like Best Buy and Tiger Direct; since I know that I will get tracked to death there anyway. I have been trying to track down all my important business that uses Gmail, to change them to my Zoho email account, until I can figure out some better, more permanent solution; but I can't even remember all that stuff for which I once put down Gmail as my email address, and haven't thought about it again in a few years. Is there any way to configure Kmail to work with Gmail (i.e., using 2FA or OAuth2, etc.) without having to get into Gmail itself? because, you see, I can't even login on a Gmail page, much less get into my account. And yet, until at least the end of this month, I can still receive Gmail. I imagine some others out there in the TDE universe must also have to confront this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill
