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

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

Packages with invalid signatures

by Mateus Rocha

Hello, people! I tried to reinstall Trinity here on Mageia 8(64 bit), but after downloading some packages for the installation using urpmi, the "Invalid Signature" message has showed up on all of them. I tried different mirrors as well, but I still have no success. Yes, I followed the installation instructions for Mageia on the TDE wiki. So, maybe there is a problem on the packages, on the repos, or the problem is on my end. Regards, Mateus Rocha

Font colours for the session tabs in Konsole

by J Leslie Turriff

Hi, I'm trying out a home-made dark theme, and almost everything is working nicely, but the Fonts in the session tabs in Konsole are coming out black on dark grey (see the attached snapshot), making them very hard to read. Which of the colours in the Widget Colour pane of Appearance & Themes => Colors is associated with that part of Konsole? Leslie

Re: OpenOffice 4 wants gtk2-tqt-engine [SOLVED]

by J Leslie Turriff

Well, it turns out that my problem had nothing to do with Trinity (which is what I was assuming); there were bits of an older release of OpenOffice lurking in my system. I removed them and reinstalled OO, and it's working now. Thanks for your suggestions.

kate configuration

by D. R. Evans

At some point in the last year, kate started behaving differently here: when it opens a file for editing, there is now an extra column to the left of the contents of the file; the extra column shows the name of the file being edited. I can remove this extra column by hitting the word "Documents" which appears (rendered vertically) at the extreme left of the kate window. But I do get fed up of having to do this every single time I open a file for editing in kate. So how do I configure kate so that this additional column with the name of the file being edited no longer appears when kate opens a file for editing? (I looked at the kate configuration file, but nothing obvious struck me; searching the Internet also didn't produce anything useful that addresses this, but it's perfectly possible that I wasn't using a very good search string.)

konqueror servicemenus

by rody＠dds.nl

The konqueror servicemenus are used to provide a custom action when right-clicking a file on the desktop or in konqueror. In kde3 I would put the .desktop files I have in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus and they just work. In trinity, the correct place for these files seems to be $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus. However, putting anything in there does not give me the corresponding actions when right-clicking a file that matches the correct mime-type. I also see a similar directory under /opt/trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus with lots of preconfigured actions. One of them I get to see when I right-click on a text-file, which is "Edit as root". So the servicemenus mechanism seems to be working, just not for my own .desktop files... What am I missing here? I'm using trinity 14.1.0 on a devuan 4 install without any other desktop environment.
