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.
When I copy text the data is pulled into Klipper. Klipper does not
activate that selection. I always have to pop open the Klipper menu and
manually select that recent selection copy.
I have tried keeping the two different buffers in sync and not.
When I manually select the most recent selection from the popup menu,
Klipper pastes the selection as expected. The next time I copy a
different selection Klipper again "forgets" which selection is most recent.
My usage of any clipboard manager is the most recent selection is always
remembered and activated as selected for pasting. Klipper is not doing this.
I do not remember Klipper behaving this way in the past. I do not see
anything awry in klipperrc. Has something changed with Klipper behavior?
Thanks.
I have sounds configured for NumLock and CapsLock. When I toggle either
key, the sound does not happen for close to two seconds. Quite a delay.
Where might I start debugging? [TDE 14.1.2]
When I use krdc I see only a tiny black square for the mouse pointer. Is
this normal/expected?
I also have to explicitly use -s and -c. There do not seem to be any
related permanent settings in krdcrc. Normal?
Thanks.
For some years I have been using the QuiteRss feed reader. I am testing
Akregator with some hope of migrating.
I do not want or need any related cookie storage. When I launch
Akregator, $TDEHOME/share/apps/kcookiejar/cookies is created.
Can cookies be fully disabled?
Or is creating the cookie jar a coding artifact of calling tdelibs
kcookiejar but Akregator does not actually store cookies? I can't find
the word cookie anywhere in Akregator code but that might be a function
that lies in the khtml backend rather than Akregator.
The internal browser seems broken? All of the pages opened in an
Akregator tab are void of any style sheet or page formatting. Is
something needed to be configured in Konqueror?
When deleting a feed from the list, the respective feeds.opml entry is
deleted but the Archive mk4 is not. A bug?
Probably not a bug but an oddity. When Akregator loads the default feeds
on first launch, the TDE feeds include feeds from 2010 (3.5.13 is
launched)? Probably fixable if the upstream feed is updated/edited?
Thanks.
* When launching there is no focus anywhere. I have to always manually
select 'All Feeds'. I would prefer the focus be 'All Feeds' so I can
start browsing the Article pane.
* When closing Akregator I don't see a way to delete all feeds I have
read. Upon the next launch all of the previous feeds remain in the
Article pane.
* Seems I have to manually delete all read feeds in the Article pane,
but that requires several mouse clicks and scrolling to select all read
feeds and manually delete.
* There is no shortcut I can find to select all feeds in the Article
pane. I tried what I thought was an intuitive Ctrl+A and nothing
happened. I found no related shortcut when browsing the Shortcuts
dialog. "Right-clicking" in the Article pane does not provide any
'Select All' option.
Hello,
Sorry for this off topic.
I'am under Debian Bookworm, processor Intel 64 bits AMD 64.
My graphic card is a Nvidia (nvidia-detect) :
"NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1)
Your card is supported by the "Tesla 470 drivers" series.
It is recommended to install the nvidia-tesla-470-driver".
Until the kernel linux-headers-6.1.0-31-amd64
& linux-image-6.1.0-31-amd64,
evrything worked perfectly.
The transition to kernel 6.1.0-32 went badly after an "apt upgrade"
or apt install linux-headers-6.1.0-32-amd64
& linux-image-6.1.0-32-amd64 :
================
"Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-headers-6.1.0-32-amd64
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)".
================
Now, the NVIDIA driver no longer works and many bugs appears.
These two commands do not resolve anything :
# dpkg --configure -a
# apt-get install -f
Of course tde-trinity is not responsible.
If you have an idea, that would help me enormously
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
André
One can hide the konqueror sidebar by dragging the sidebar to the left border
and/or by pressing F9. In previous versions prior to 14.1.3 the sidebar would
remain hidden for new konqueror windows after doing this. However, this
behaviour seems to have changed in 14.1.3. The sidebar now returns in new
konqueror windows and there seems to be no way to keep it hidden?
