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?

Hi all,
some time ago I was thinking about whether we want to become an active
member of social networks with our project. Things like Facebook and
Twitter have always been "no go" zones for me. However, I've been
thinking about the Mastodon platform for a long time.
Mastodon is a decentralized platform for publishing short messages and
pictures. It is based on open source architecture and therefore this
platform is close to our ideas. You can see profiles of other projects
like @kde@floss.social, @gnome@floss.social, and others.
I assume that it would help to "make us visible" and information could be
published there, for example about the release of new versions, or some
useful information regarding development, screenshots, solving issues and
community info.
Does it seem like a good idea for us to have an official communication
channel for our project on Mastodon? What is your opinion on this?
Cheers

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.

Okay, so now dig me. :-]
I played round with ksystraycmd. It shows how long it's been since I thought
about this thing, because after mulling it over a bit, I figured out how to
make my own trick.
alt-F2
smplayer %f | --pkill ksystraycmd
Whatever applies to smplayer here, ought to work with other programs, too.
That kills the ghost icon from the start, if I open it from alt-F2, but now I
get a plain white vanilla gui interface. I believe I can figure out how to
force my own background, and probably how to get all this stuff into
the "open with" menu. There's probably an easier way, but at least I can get
this to work for me.
So I think I'm halfway there. Now for the messier problem: I have all these
leftover shortcuts in my "open with" menus. It worst in my oldest folders, of
course.
Now I'm wondering, Is there's an easy way of getting rid of those unused
shortcuts?

Hello all,
I'm setting up a laptop with a 4K screen (it's a Thinkpad P51). This 4K screen
will be used to manipulate Photos (with programs that require Windows...).
I have installed Linux as well (for everything that does not require M$ stuff)
with MX-Linux and TDE.
I want to run TDE (and mostly all Linux programs) at 1920x1080. I've managed
to do this with xrandr, running from a script that is in /usr/local/share.
The last "problem" (with which I can live, just nags me) is that this script
visibly is run relatively late, after the login screen, which is then tiny.
I first set it up for xfce/lightdm and the scripts are triggered from
*.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart.
I found an /opt/trinity/share/autostart and hoped it might run thing before
login but it does not seem to (or more probably my syntax is not the right
one).
So the question is: is it possible to set resolution before login, if so how.
I'd prefet to continue working with xrandr than hardwiring something in the X
configuration file.

I have a notebook but in most of the time (but not always) use an external monitor. One time I use only one monitor. After switching to external HDMI-1 monitor from LVDS-1 using "Resize and Rotate" the notifications of various panel applets (like TDENetworkManager) appears on desktop in wrong places, far from the right place (from the mouse), using the previous monitor size. The same problem is with Kate. This is very annoying... I did not try to logout since I do not want to loose my session work. Is there any solution?
TDE R14.0.9
If anyone else in the Trinity community has experienced the flattening of the TDE menu
(as I have), this might be a solution to look at.
The OP was from someone evaluating openSUSE Leap 15.5 and modern KDE. It's possible that
it only affects openSUSE users.

Oh,
You will need to grab the 15.3
desktop-data-openSUSE-15.0.20171024-lp153.1.53.src.rpm
for the xdg menu categories (otherwise all items are just dumped in the menu).
This change was a result of Gnome -- and it really sucks. This is one addition
that should be added to the KDE3 repo -- but it does affect all desktops.
Why SUSE let the gnome tail wag the openSUSE dog is bewildering...

I saw a note - or at least I think I saw a note - in the 14.1.0psb
release notes about a new tdebluez. So I tried to install it and
failed but by then I had already closed the release notes and could
not find them again.
(1) It appears that the package is actually - and perhaps redundantly -
- called tdebluez-trinity. Unless my memory is playing tricks
it might help if the package name and the release notes matched.
(2) Because 14.1.0psb is not yet released the (draft) release notes
are not yet linked to the regular release notess page:
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php
I was also unable to find 14.1.0 release notes through various
web searches, from my T menu, or via Trinity Help Center. Is
there a canonical way to find/read the release notes of the
installed version of TDE?
Thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions about changing the paths in my home folder. Funny,
but it's been so long since I did it that I completely forgot it was in the
Trinity Control Center. I knew it had to be simple, because last time I
thought about it was at least 15 years ago, when I was a total n00b.
So here's another issue that suddenly reappears: Whenever I open some
programs, an icon automatically pops up in the systray. I can kill these, of
course, by running pkill ksystraycmd, but after I do this a few times within,
say ten minutes, I get tired of it.
Now, I don't mean to kill those icons that I actually want and use; for
example, smplayer puts an icon in the systray, and it is actually useful. But
when I first start the program, a second icon is generated, too, a sort of
ghost icon that serves no real function. This is the bugaboo that I want to
suppress, so that it is not generated in the first place.
Since I reinstalled my OS, I also inadvertently changed some of my paths, and
I believe that this might be a similar issue, because now some apps are
generating icons for the systray, apps that never generated icons there
before now.
This is annoying, as my systray gets cluttered with stuff I don't use; and
furthermore, I get duplicates on top of duplicates on top of yet more
duplicates. It's one thing to have smplayer's icon, as well as the ghost
icon; I kill it, doesn't come back until the next time. But now when I open
text files, I get a new icon for each new text file, so that I end up with a
dozen useless icons taking up space.
I did check TCC under these programs, and this isn't the same thing, where you
see a box to tick off for "Place in system tray"; these ghost icons are
something else.
Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Seems like it ought to be easy enough, especially as it's never happened
before, if memory serves me.
It's just that there are some folders I don't ever use, or which I have
already named myself; for example, my folders have always been named in lower
case, but now Konqueror is trying to do my thinking for me, so it has created
duplicate empty folders such as Music, Templates, Videos, etc., whereas mine
are named music, templates, videos, without the upper case. It doesn't rename
my folders, or mess with them, it just adds folders that I don't need, have
never used, and don't want, but whenever I try to delete them, Konqueror
immediately recreates these folders again.
I don't know how I got it like this, as I set up my system like this back in
about the years 2006-2008, when I was running KDE3. I want to keep things as
I had them. I don't want these duplicates, and don't want just to surrender
and rename all my folders in upper case, because that means I would have to
go searching through my system for changed file paths.
Anybody have a clue how to change this behavior in Konqueror? Thanks for any
help or suggestions!
Bill
