Hi everyone:
I have a computer that i didnt turn off, simply put in suspend mode. But i
found that sometimes ( i dont know when or why) kdesktop go away.
The symptoms are:
- the fan speed up
- two KDESKTOP process take 80% of cpu each one,
- The icons on desktop are not clikable anymore
- the shutdown button on first call open the dialog and i can make click on
suspend
- the shutdown button on second call do nothing.
Pressing ALT+CRL+BAKSPACE i go to login and everyting works again... for one
hour, 1 day or one week (randomly)
I have opensuse tumbleweed.
Best Regards to all

I don't know if this is a PEBKAC issue.
I seem to have a devilish time getting Kate to remember syntax
highlighting of previously opened files.
I have Kate configured to remember meta information for 180 days.
I also notice that often Kate does not guess the correct syntax
highlighting for what are obvious shell scripts. The shell scripts have
correct declarations at the beginning of the script. I get the feeling
the detection scheme is keying off of something other than '#!/bin/sh'.
What might I be doing incorrectly? Or where might I start troubleshooting?
Thanks.
TDE 14.1.3.
Does printing from KPDF work?
I don't get any response. No dialog. The Print Preview dialog works, but
there is no Print button anywhere.
Thanks.
Hi! :-)
I couldn't find anything related, so I have to ask.
Different distributions, seems to have different terminology.
At Trinity, what is the difference between normal and hybrid suspend?
Sidequestion 1:
What is the keyboard shortcut, for bringing up the shutdown - restart
etc. dialog box?
Where is it stored?
Sidequestion 2:
How can be disabled the password asking screen, after restoring from
sleep - suspend etc.?
TIA!!! :-)

I like to tinker some with vintage computers.
Kind of fascinating. I am able to use much of TDE on single core
computers (compiled in a 32-bit VM on a 4-core system :-)). The systems
are running Slackware 14.1 32-bit with Seagate Barracuda IV spinners.
One system has 256 MB RAM, the other 448 MB.
As might be expected booting takes time but once that completes can TDE
be used? With nominal patience, yes. Even with 10/100 Mbs NICs,
Konqueror is responsive traversing network directories. The spinners are
a bottleneck but TDE is usable.
RAM usage after logging in (console/startx) and letting everything settle:
256 MB RAM: console: 14 MB; TDE: 239 MB 0 MB swap
448 MB RAM: console: 15 MB; TDE: 292 MB 0 MB swap
This is with Konqueror preloaded in the configs, minimal system daemons,
etc.
Further usage eventually sees swap get used because of the limited RAM.
Before anybody chuckles too hard, back in the KDE 3.5.x days these
systems were my daily drivers. Mostly with Windows NT4 but dual booting
into Slackware and 3.5.x. Likely some responsiveness could be squeezed
by using older Slackware releases matching the hardware of 20 years ago.
Use as a daily driver? Probably not. :-) That I can attempt this let
alone actually succeed is nonetheless remarkable. As a proof-of-concept
test I think this is a fine testament to how TDE is designed and
maintained. Just nice to see this work. Big smile!
Is there a way to configure katepart to provide a more "intelligent"
cursor movement after searching text?
I do not see anything relevant in the Cursor & Selection Behavior
configuration.
1. In kate or kwrite invoke a normal search/find.
2. Close the Find dialog.
3. Notice the text is highlighted.
4. Press the keyboard left or right arrow navigation key.
When pressing the left key, my expectation is the cursor should move to
the immediate left of the selection highlight. Instead the cursor moves
to the character on the immediate left of the end of the selection.
Similarly, when pressing the right arrow key the cursor moves to the
next character to the right rather than just end the selection highlight
and keep the cursor at the same place.
My expectation is the cursor movement I have seen in other text editors.
Thanks. :)
There is a collection of Kate plugins in the tdeaddons package. One of
the plugins is called KTextEditor Incremental Search Plugin. I am
scratching my head how to use the plugin.
The respective plugin Comment shows Also known as "As you type search".
If I start typing I simply add text to my document. If I invoke the Find
dialog nothing happens unless I press the Find button, just like normal
search.
The Kate Plugins Handbook does not include the plugins from the
tdeaddons package.
So -- how to use the plugin? And second, is this information cleverly
hidden in a handbook?
Thanks. :)
I am creating a build script environment for Slackware. Something in the
tradition of stock and SBo build scripts for those who know what that means.
Debian seems overwhelmingly supported in TDE. To help me learn I want to
create a Debian VM where I can download and study package sources and
build scripts.
One caveat is the Debian distro needs to NOT support systemd because
Slackware does not. I need something reasonably close to how Slackware
functions.
I tried q4os but I did not like and their custom control center thingie
frustrated me and gets in my way. And I want something generic with no
systemd.
Something straightforward. Install the ISO, configure apt sources,
install TDE.
Please recommend. I am guessing a plain Devuan ISO might suffice?
Thank you.
