Window borders
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Is there a way to not have borders around windows? Or at least the side vertical borders? I am using TDE Classic Style. When I am reading an online article in a web browser, often I "fling" the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen to keep the pointer out of the way of reading text. I use the mouse scroll wheel to move down the page. With TDE I can't do that because when the pointer hovers over that left edge window border the effect is to kill scrolling. I have to continually bump the mouse pointer to the right to get off the border. I do not experience this in other desktop environments. Memory muscle and habits are difficult to change. So I am thinking this is a property of twin. Thanks. DA

Is Bluetooth free?
by lee892533＠gmail.com 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.

Do we want to participate in social networks?
by Slávek Banko 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

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 -- Slávek

Toggle keyboard layout + xkbd @ TDE R14.1.0
by Petr Palacký 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hi folks, after upgrading to R14.1.0 I miss the old way of switching between keyboard layouts with Ctrl+Alt+K. It looks like the option to NOT use xkbd is missing and the only option to toggle is now xkbd. In addition, the keyboard model setting apparently stopped working, in my case "Dell Latitude laptop" - some functions no longer work, e.g. Fn+F1 (for sleep) or Fn+F5 (for touchpad toggle) or Fn+Arrows (for brightness level). Everything worked for over a decade before the upgrade. I prefer TDE because its basic functions have not fundamentally changed since the KDE3 era, and after twenty years of using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+K, I have a hard time getting used to the "new" shortcuts. Is there any way to revert back to the original keyboard shortcut for switching the keyboard layout? Many thanks Best regards -- Petr Palacky Outgoing message is virus free because we are using Linux. Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), kernel 6.1.0-2-amd64.

How to disable web browsing in Konqueror?
by Michael 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

Since we’re chatting about Konqueror, is there an easy way to either disable its web browsing features or block its off-box access? I love Konq, but it occasional (very rarely, but happened earlier this week) thinks a file I click is a web page instead of opening it in a local program (KWrite, LibreOffice, or whatever). Thanks, Michael

Complete breakage of KRFB and KRDC
by Roman Savochenko 27 May '23

27 May '23

Hi Tell me please, the moving of KRFB and KRDC to the standalone libvnc in 14.1.0, this is for complete breakage of KRFB and KRDC or I misunderstand something? :) KRFB is just dead cycling in some QObject destructor at any connection before the password transmission even. KRDC shows the remote screen, but it is hanging mostly, when there impossible to close the program, only kill. Whether I must downgrade the KRFB and KRDC code back to 14.0.13?
