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

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?

Laptop Brightness Keys

by Darrell Anderson

On my Thinkpad T580 laptop, the Fn+F5 and Fn+F6 shortcut keys manually control screen brightness. These shortcuts function as expected with KDE and Xfce but not TDE. No special configuration is needed. I find nothing that helps in kcontrol or tdepowersave. I found a thread in this list discussing the issue but with no simple solution. What is needed to have TDE support these shortcuts to "just work" like with KDE and Xfce? Thanks.

Cannot start TDE after upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 24.04.

by John Logsdon

An upgrade from 20.04 via 22.04 to 24.04 (necessary for other reasons) went quite smoothly and I then followed the TDE upgrade instructions. Before I always started TDE from the command line which was OK. Now I cannot find starttde anywhere so startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde doesn't work. xorg etc is installed. apt search starttde returns ksmserver-trinity/now 4:14.1.3-0ubuntu20.04+0 amd64 [residual-config] Why 20.04? It seems that there is a lot of old stuff around. apt install reports that package is not available and then refers to a new package of the same name but which has no installation candidte. I've tried removing all instances of tde following the instructions but updatedb followed by locate still shows them and /etc/trinity, /opt/trinity etc are still there. Any clue how to fix this? I really don't like any of the default window managers so it needs to be fixed!! -- John Logsdon Quantex Research Ltd m:+447717758675/h:+441614454951

Do you have anything in /opt/trinity/share/dconf/profile/user

by Jim

Hi, I have TDE 14.1.1 installed on Slackware64 15.0. Firefox keeps spitting out error messages like this: Unable to open /opt/trinity/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied: 'glib warning', file /tmp/firefox-128.4.0/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1410879 seems to indicate that firefox is looking in /opt/trinity/share/... because /opt/trinity/share is in the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. In my Slackware version of TDE, there is no directory /opt/trinity/share/dconf at all, which (partially) explains why firefox is whining. But it got me wondering... can someone (or multiple people) who use another distro let me know if you have anything in /opt/trinity/share/dconf, and, if so, would you mind sending me a listing of what files are in there? Thanks. Jim

Darkness :) Remaster of devuan testing + TDE + dark theme for AMD64

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

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.

Trying to install TDE on a (relatively) old Debian (9.13)

by Thierry de Coulon

Hallo all. I'm re-setting up an old machine (a core 2 quad from 15 xears ago) and wanted to use a somewhat older distribution. I decided for Stretch and managed to find the online repos for older Debians. I then wantes to install trinity (from the website it seems 14.1.1 should be available, I also tried 14.0.0). I followed the instructions for repositories, however when I run install tde-trinity, I get dependency hell Several packages have unmet dependencies, for example Depends : tde-core-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be installed Another weirdness is that aptitude has no installation candidate. I suppose apt or apt-get can be used instead. An idea? Thierry
