apt-get install fails when installing qpdf
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Sep '26

23 Sep '26

Trying to install qpdf, I get an error: qpdf : Depends: libqpdf30 (> 12.4.1~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Apparently my package database has become corrupted? I tried the suggestion but it's not helping. I am a beginner with Debian systems; on openSUSE I would have some idea how to proceed, but not here. Leslie @19:23:13 root@toreador wd=/root ● apt-get install qpdf Reading package lists...

kPDF says this is a password-protected PDF
by J Leslie Turriff 20 Sep '26

20 Sep '26

I downloaded three documentation PDFs for a new motherboard, but when I try to open any of them, kPDF asks for a password.* I can open them with kGhostview, but that application is quite primitive compared with kPDF. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to get past the password prompt? You can experiment with one of the documents, which I have stored at <https://c.mail.com/@649596501445582267/Q3yZyhtyLVI29-W0bgEUZQ> Leslie *See attached images.

network-mananger-tde: wifi password is not saved
by Uwe Brauer 16 Sep '26

16 Sep '26

Hi all I am running Ubuntu 24.04 with `network-manager-tde 4:14.1.3-0ubuntu24.04.0+0`. When I log in using Ubuntu’s default desktop environment, I can add a new Wi-Fi connection, save the password and connect to it without any problems. However, when I do the same in TDE, I can add the new Wi-Fi connection, but when I try to save the password, I get the following error: Unable to save network connection! Potential causes: - Insufficient permissions - NetworkManager not running - DBUS failure I have also installed `polkit-agent-tde`, but this has not made any difference. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, or how I could troubleshoot it? Regards Uwe Brauer

Linking failure when trying to build Kaffeine
by mrkubax10 16 Sep '26

16 Sep '26

Hi, it's my first message here. I'm trying to build Kaffeine from source, however I ran into an issue during linking stage which results in lots of undefined reference messages to various TQt symbols. CMake seems to pick up TQt correctly so I'm kind of lost what to do next.

VLC crashes - caused by tqt-something?
by William Morder 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

Hello everybody! I have only recently tried streaming some online television channels using VLC, due to my discovering a couple of YUGE playlists on github. When I first loaded the playlists and started up VLC, it took a little finagling, but within 15 minutes or so I was watching public television stations (US). Then I got the bright idea to combine several of the playlists into one big playlist; same great results. I was immediately able to watch television channels from all over the planet (if they weren't geo-blocked). The only problem was that it sounded hollow, shrill and ugly, like my speakers were inside a tin can. So I made a few more adjustments, and everything was fine. More great stuff that I was discovering. Now, I am not crazy about the idea of watching television, as I don't have one any more, haven't missed it in these past few years, been reading a lot more books, and my life tends to go better without television. Still, every once in a while, I wonder what's on, if I actually had a television to watch. And besides, I can stop any time I want.... Somehow, though, don't know what happened, VLC started crashing, and now won't start up properly. Attached is a snapshot of the notification window: gtk2-tqt-engine (vlc-gtk-tqt application) seems to be the cause. I did a search of the list, as I remembered something like that (related to Open Office), and Nik advised that I remove these packages: gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity gtk2-engines-gtk-qt-trinity Slavek said it was probably the kgtk-qt3-trinity package. In any case, my result now is the same as back then (in February of 2022): "Package 'gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity' is not installed, so not removed"; the same with kgtk-qt3-trinity. If anybody has a clue how to resolve this issue, it would be a great help. As I said above, everything worked just fine without much fuss: thousands of channels, everything playing just like regular television. My only changes (so far as I recall) were to adjust the sound, equalizer, etc. Then it stopped working, and now just crashes immediately after starting. Thanks for any help ... Bill P.S.

:-) Helpful info about muffin fans :-)
by J Leslie Turriff 09 Aug '26

09 Aug '26

At https://engineerfix.com/how-to-tell-which-way-a-fan-is-blowing/ we are told that > "Most fans feature two distinct arrows placed along the side of the casing, which relay critical operational information." (not true in my experience) and furthermore, > "One arrow indicates the direction in which the blades rotate when the fan is powered on, which is usually a clockwise or counter-clockwise path." (so, unusually, the direction is ??) Leslie
