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

How to turn off tdegtk?
by J Leslie Turriff 12 Jul '24

12 Jul '24

Somehow I've mangled the tdegtk configuration in my main user account (I think I was trying to get rid of the warnings; see below). Now it's preventing my favourite text editor from running. I tried to remove ~/.themes/tdegtk/gtk-3.0/tdegtk.css (attached; fails at line 299) but it just comes back when I re-login. How can I disable it? I'm thinking now that turning it on in the first place was a mistake. | $ /usr/local/bin/jedit -log=7 -restore -startupscripts -gui -newview -settings=/home/leslie/.config/jedit -server=Leslie -- c++/demo.cc& | wd=/usr/local/src/packages/SOURCES/ncurses6.5-20240629 | $ | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.621: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:4:7: The 'engine' property is ignored | | (java:6611): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:01:28.679: Theme parsing error: <data>:1:10: The :prelight pseudo-class is deprecated.

Where does REGULAR TDE's KMAIL store emails?
by CHRIS M 30 Jun '24

30 Jun '24

Hello Ya'll, I can't find where TDE KMAIL in Regular TDE stores its emails? What I mean by "Regular TDE" is: I installed Debian 12 with a minimal XFCE install, then installed TDE on top of that. In Q4OS, TDE KMAIL stored emails under "~/home/chris/.tdeconfig/share/ ".......something like that...... Thanks, Chris -- Sent with Vivaldi Mail. Download Vivaldi for free at vivaldi.com

Installing TDE
by CHRIS M 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

Okay folks! I did a nuke and pave and installed DEBIAN 12, but I had to install KDE, because I couldn't figure out how to install TDE due to a certain step in the directions: I just wanted to get some clarification before I decided to install TDE: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x <your-distribution-release-name> main deps Which would be for me: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x bookworm main deps But, I don't think putting 14.1 is correct? Or does it matter? If I put 14.1 would TDE update itself from this old version to the newest version? Thanks, Chris

Issue compiling TWin decorations
by neeeeow＠protonmail.com 24 Jun '24

24 Jun '24

Hello all, I am wanting to port over some old KDE 3 KWin themes over to TDE. To ensure that I have all of the build dependencies present, I wanted to try compiling some of the already existing TWin themes. For this, I wanted to try compiling twin-style-fahrenheit (found here: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/twin-style-fahrenheit). In terms of packages, I installed trinity-tdesdk & trinity-twin-devel, so I should have everything required to compile the TWin theme. For compiling, I followed the instructions laid out in the wiki (https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/How_to_Build_TDE_Core_Modules#Notes), however when I try to compile the decoration, cmake throws out the following error: "'twin' is required, but is not installed nor selected for build". Could someone point me in the right direction? I am running Fedora 40 as well as the newest version of TDE (R14.1.2). For what it's worth, I also fired up TDE on openSUSE in a VM, and I have the same issue. Many thanks!

How do i switch from using Konqueror as my file manager to using Krusader, or some other file manager?
by SuperRyn 24 Jun '24

I don't like opening a browser to access my files; I suspect krusader uses much less resources. How do i change my default file manager?

It does put the email into the OUTBOX for a few seconds. But at the very bottom of KMAIL you can see the progress bar moving towards to 100% and then the email is moved to the SENT folder. Where before, When you hit the send button on the composer window, the email was just saved to the OUTBOX and I had to manually hit the SEND QUEUED EMAIL BY..... button, then selecting the Fastmail account. ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!

advice needed re. a ping/log app
by dep 22 Jun '24

22 Jun '24

greetings, everybody. living out in the woods, i am cursed by having to use frontier communications dsl for phone/internet. the phone is voip, so when the internet is down everything is down. there is no cellular service here. so when it does gown i have to drive 10 miles to a cell signal and sit in my car while over the course of a couple hours i end up getting no satisfaction from "support" located in a part of the world where english is not the first language. the internet goes down multiple times daily, usually for a few minutes but often more. it goes down for a few seconds multiple times each hour. it has been this way for years. it is my intention to make a formal complaint, and to do this i need to provide proof. unless there's a better method, i need to come up with an application that runs all the time and pings, say, cloudfare at 1.1.1.1, every few seconds and logs the results. it would be helpful if the logs were readily readable. there seem to be several such applications, but the ones i can find are for windows and seem to be overkill, logging numerous things i don't need. i just need to log this particular datum, in pretty fine detail, for a long period of time, on a linux machine. anyone know if there is such a thing and if so, what it would be? i would love if there were a tde utility that did this, but i don't know if such exists. thanks! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Abandoning KMAIL
by CHRIS M 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

I am going to have to give up on KMAIL. Its back to doing that weird thing that I talked about a couple weeks ago, where as soon as I am done writing my email, I hit the envelope with the green > on it, and instead of just sending it, it puts it in the LOCAL FOLDERS OUTBOX, I then have to switch to OUTBOX and then hit the button I added to my toolbar that says " SEND QUEUED MAIL VIA....." and select Fastmail. That issue stopped for awhile and as soon as I hit the send button with the green > on it, the email skipped the OUTBOX and sent itself, and then put a copy into the sent folder. ============================================================ THANKS IN ADVANCE!
