Where does the TDE menu live?
by dep 09 Aug '25

09 Aug '25

I just noticed something and am curious about it. Most desktops create a .menu file, which lives in the /etc/xdg/menus directory (sadly often after the desktop itself is long gone). But I do not see one for TDE, unless it has some unexpected name. Where does TDE put its menu? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

After a dozen or more reboots, my desktop is running again. Now I am nervous. Ugh. Thanks, anyway! Anybody know of a suite of system health diagnostics? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

How to change textcursor in TDE ?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 07 Aug '25

07 Aug '25

Hi all! Is there a way to change the text cursor in TDEs text input fields? I have the naging problem, that the cursor is 1px wide and thus barely visible on HDPI displays. In an ideal world I could change that to a blinking block cursor or at least to a wider bar cursor. Did anybody coma across a way to do that in TDE?

And *of course* I'm on deadline

Got up this morning to many kmail errors. Looked and saw that Proton VPN was down. Tried to restart it, and it was having no part of it. Nor would TDE shutdown. Did the usual alt-f emergency switch to a prompt. Did alt-ctrl-del and got a reboot. Login screen (sddm) as usual. Logged in to TDE. Got usual light blue screen, mouse pointer turned to the red one I use. Then, a while later, came the error box saying that kdesktop had crashed. Still got the startup sound, and top tells me that kicker is running. But no desktop. I forced a reinstall of kdesktop-trinity. No joy. Anybody see this before? Anybody know how to fix it? TIA. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Hello, My box connection eth0 is out, so I use the WiFi mode wlan0, that works fine. When I open Kmail, I receive this message : "KMail is currently in offline mode. What would you like to do : Offline or Online ?" I choose Online and I can receive and send my mails ? So my question : what to do to stop this message ? Thanks, cheers, André

Konqueror and url/task bar
by ajh-valmer 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Hello, Sorry, me again. On my computer number 1, with Konqueror, at the right on the top, url/task bar, I have a field to seek a file, or a part of a file, it's very practical, if we have many files. Please, see the attached image "konqueror2.png". On my computer number 2, I don't have this field on the right, only the url/task bar. So I cannot seek a file. Please, see the attached image "konqueror1.png". Why on the same system Debian upgraded on two computers, Konqueror does not display the same configuration ? Thanks, cheers. André

Before, the name of this folder was : "Téléchargement", I could change it by "Telechargement" I can't delete it or change its name. In /home/andre/ I have the two folders : Téléchargement & Telechargement What happens with this folder ? Thanks and cheers, André

kmix and usb soundcards?
by Rody 29 Jun '25

Now it gets weird: Even though the HDA Intel device is selected (the default soundcard on the motherboard), the sound is actually coming from the rubix... I'm puzzled... Regards, Rody

Mascot naming
by Alejo Fernandez 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Hello! As you all know, The Dragon has been added a "T" to the Scarf in many images at TDE Gitea, and I made a sandbox for the Trinity Desktop Project Wiki with information about the 'Tonqi' mascot, but as you've suggested, they're unsure of the name 'Tonqi'. So I'm asking you to decide on a name for TDE's mascot. P.S. The link to the article and/or sandbox is here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/User:SleeperGuy/sandbox/Tonqi
