I'm trying to create a TDE build environment. I'm using old notes and
the wiki.
I seem to recall there was a separate kuickshow package. Not the one
included in tdegraphics. Was the separate package dropped? If so when?
Thanks.
Is there no way to arrange the order of entries in the KFileDialog
Speedbar entries (short of manually editing kdeglobals outside of TDE)?
Adding a new entry places the new entry at the bottom of the list.
Thanks.
I updated my system from 14.1.2 to 14.1.3. I no longer could launch
tools as root using pkexec. Testing in the command line indicates some
kind of polkit issue. Found some related discussion on the web but as
usual, little help.
I tested the same in KDE and had no problems.
I noticed in KDE there is a polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 process
running. No such process in TDE, but I don't recall anything like that
in previous versions of TDE. Kind of implies something in 14.1.3 changed
to expect a polkit agent.
On a whim I created a $TDEHOME/Autostart desktop file to launch the KDE
polkit agent. I then could again launch tools as root with pkexec.
I am going to presume I missed the memo somewhere. Did something related
change in 14.1.3? The wiki seemed to imply there now is a TDE polkit
agent but there is no such package here.
Thanks.
I installed tdepowersave. Clicking the system tray icon pops open a
display dialog that does not fit the laptop screen. The 15 inch
1920x1080 screen resolution is not the problem -- the dialog is too long
vertically to fit the screen. Try as I might I could not resize the
dialog and the dialog has no scroll bar.
The design of this dialog seems untested because many if not a majority
of laptop screens are 14 inch -- some even smaller. As with most things
I accept my own ignorance and naivety might be to blame. Nonetheless I
get the feeling this dialog was designed on a large laptop -- no scroll
bar? Or perhaps was tested only on a dual core laptop. (There are other
dialogs like this, such as in KControl, that are not resizable and don't
fit on a laptop screen)
One issue here is the laptop CPU is 4-core, but 8 threads. The dialog
code (actually the kernel code) interprets this as 8 cores. While CPU
usage is interesting, I think the information is superfluous to energy
saving. Most people, at least me, are concerned only with the batteries.
* Is there a way to resize this dialog? I tried clicking the title bar,
using Move and Resize to no avail.
* Is there a way to remove the CPU usage information? Nice info but not
needed here.
* Is there a way to configure tdepowersave not to automatically start
when there is no battery? The user account I use on my laptop is synced
to my office desktop where there are no batteries and no real concern
with energy usage.
Not too get carried away. Seems to be a decent tool but as often is the
case, I seem to be a user outside the expected usage bell curve.
Thanks.
