I don't see how it's a TDE issue, but . . .
by dep 19 Oct '24

19 Oct '24

Hi, everybody . . . This is a weird one. It's under Debian testing, but it happened under Tapeworm, too. With TDE testing. Running LibreOffice 24.8.2.1. For close to 15 years, I've had "Insert hyperlink" in my RMB menu in text fields. With the updates (I think specifically of LibreOffice) but cannot be absolutely sure, it's still there. But clicking on it spawns a dialog box for character formatting. So I deleted it and replaced it. Same thing. Renamed ~/.config/libreoffice and reinstalled LibreOffice itself. Added "Insert hyperlink" to menu. Same thing. So I tred it on my notebook, also running testing/testing. Same thing. It is easier to configure the Linux kernel than it is to configure LibreOffice, because LibreOffice tries to allow for everything, no matter how unlikely, and gives it all equal weight. For instance, if you go to Tools > Customize > Context Menus, you have a choice of 49(!) menus you can edit. The fun part is that none of the menu names is reflected in the places where you would find those menus. Nor are the things controlled by them accessible. I'd rename the character formatting thing if I could find it, and see what happens then. But can't find the frigging thing. I'd use AbiWord, but it, like KWord and Calligra, seem to be pretty much abandoned, and in the case of the latter two developed by people who do not know what a word processor is for. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

recently, TDE slow to move files to trash
by D. R. Evans 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

As of a recent TDE update (sometime in the past month or less), moving files to trash has become painfully slow, with the operation typically taking tens of seconds instead of a second or two. This has happened in the past with remote disks mounted over ssh (there was a thread about this maybe two or three years ago), but now it is happening with local storage. Are other people seeing this? If not, any ideas what might be the problem? For the sake of completeness, I will make the "I haven't [knowingly] changed anything here" statement.

Version for Trixie?
by dep 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Greets, everybody. It's been more than a week since I seriously broke anything, and of course that cannot stand, so I thought I'd upgrade to Debian Trixie a/k/a testing. Which I would do forthwith if and only if there is some version of TDE that rns or is likely to run on it. Is there? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Starting TDE apps from another DE?
by Thierry de Coulon 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

I've been taking a look at what KDE 5 had become. Actually, it was faster than I had expected (in the MX-Linux implementation). Not that I think about changing DE, but it raised a question: Running TDE, I have no problem starting KDE apps (Kdenlive or Kalzium for example) or xfce apps. But is it possible to start TDE apps from xfce or KDE (TDE's Konqueror as file browser would be usefull)? I suppose it is, but just starting the app fails, so I guess there must be some magic incantation required. Thierry

My new experimental fork of KGtk
by Riley Bell 03 Oct '24

03 Oct '24

As an experiment I forked the old KGtk software, stripped out kdialogd and replaced it with calls to libportal. This makes it desktop agnostic and allows GTK2 apps to use portals. It also contains fixes that can be backported to Trinity's KGtk-qt3. It's still far from stable however so I wouldn't recommend installing it outside of testing purposes. https://github.com/rjb330/portal-wrapper/ Attached screenshot shows portal-wrapper opening files in GIMP with the new xdg-desktop-portal-tde prototype. ------------------------------------------------- This free account was provided by VFEmail.net - report spam to abuse(a)vfemail.net ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!
