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

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

KPDF asks for password on some PDFs
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 09 Dec '24

09 Dec '24

Hi all! I just found that KPDF is (again) asking for a password on non-password-protected PDFs and fails to open the PDF if no password is given. The PDF preview in konqueror is fine. I have attached a PDF that triggers the behaviour on my system (KPDF 14.2.0~pre65-0debian13.0.0+3~a). Could somebody please verify?

Hi all! I just uploaded my last devuan testing + TDE 14.2 remaster - this time with a dark theme (including kate) - and it finally got a name (darkness). I would be interested if you run into issues with it. Thread on devuan: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=6850 ISO: https://samhain.at/devuan_tde/darkness-20240918.iso SHA256: https://samhain.at/devuan_tde/darkness-20240918.iso.sh256 SHA256: 97c6c6fbf3d49bfc9b9231f586a1143da8761cfe9657dcb72676793c3b693856 Background is done by myself, so if anybody wants to include it in TDE (or highres versions of my deviantart.com/zwieblum gallery) just drop me a note. Enjoy :) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

by MLR 28 Oct '24

Hi, after 2,5 years Plasma I am back to TDE. I use archlinux (no BTW). https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Trinity Packages: https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/archlinux/x86_64/ I have installed tde-tdebase. What packages are needed for video and pdf thumbnails? My installed packages: $ pacman -Q | grep "tde" mtdev 1.1.7-1 tde-amarok 14.1.2-1 tde-arts 14.1.2-1 tde-avahi-tqt 14.1.2-1 tde-dbus-1-tqt 14.1.2-1 tde-krename 14.1.2-1 tde-libart-lgpl 14.1.2-1 tde-tdebase 14.1.2-1 tde-tdegames 14.1.2-1 tde-tdelibs 14.1.2-1 tde-tqt3 14.1.2-1 tde-tqtinterface 14.1.2-1 Thank you very much.

Nano for Donations
by mike＠m1k3s.com 26 Oct '24

26 Oct '24

I guess this is mainly for Slávek and Michele, but would you consider adding Nano (nano.org) as a donation option on the TDE site? I'd much prefer to use that over Bitcoin as it's more energy efficient, instant, and has no fees. I've used it for years without issue. I personally use and prefer https://nault.cc as a non-custodial wallet but there are others to choose from. https://blocklattice.io is a good block explorer if you're interested in seeing transactions. Thanks, Mike

Kaffeine fails to load XineParts
by J Leslie Turriff 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

I finally got sound working after upgrading to openSUSE Leap 15.6 (Yay), but when I start Kaffeine to listen to some music, it says it can't load XineParts (unYay). I've attached the message that Kaffeine displays. It's not too helpful. In openSUSE Leap 15.6, sound is now controlled by PipeWire instead of PulseAudio. Could this have anything to do with my issue?

matrixOS
by jacobheinrich＠hotmail.com 24 Oct '24

24 Oct '24

Hi there everyone! Might as well join the party eh? I have created a live Debian ISO that currently tracks Debian Bookworm with the stable Trinity repository. It is based off live-build with a small modified selection of packages for a smooth experience. Any changes and updates will be pushed through the matrixOS repo, and I will take package requests for backports and such. I will also update the ISO to include the new Trinity release when that launches. What does it offer? - Fully working live experience - Calamares installer - Ready to go out of the box with a wide selection of software included - Our favorite desktop of choice - A mostly vanilla Trinity configuration I would really appreciate it if you wanted to check it out! https://www.matrixos.ca

TDE vs LXDE, LXQT and XFCE
by anguriamelone＠libero.it 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Hi to everyone! A simple question: how much is lightweight TDE in comparison with LXDE, LXQT and XFCE? Is it, perhaps, a middleweight? If it can be of interest, here is a discussion about ''lightness''. https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchm … t-vs-xfce/ https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-enviro… Thanks for the attention and have a nice evening/day. Kind regards. Gian
