upgrade was bumpy - a few leftover problems
by William Morder 05 Oct '26

05 Oct '26

Hello everybody! This is rather off-topic, as it doesn't directly concern TDE, so far as I can tell. However, it does concern using my Trinity colors and preferences. Does anybody have a clue what's going on? After reading about Leslie's recent upgrade, I decided that I myself had been putting off a similar upgrade. I run Devuan, so I upgraded from Daedalus to Excalibur. It was actually relatively painless, compared to doing a complete reinstallation from scratch. I dreaded rebooting, fearing that I might end up with a non-working machine, but everything looks and works practically the same as before. However ... there are yet a few glitches that I can't figure out. I am wondering if others have had issues something like these. 1. audacious won't start up. I did look up all the documentation and discussions on the forums, but they are mostly old (going back to 2007, etc.). For what it's worth, I have my audacious configured to start up after boot, which has worked seamlessly for about ten years now. I haven't changed much since then. I tried renaming these folders, tried renaming the config file, etc., but nothing helps. /home/~/.config/audacious /home/~/.local/audacious Usually, after I do this, then restart audacious, it creates new folders, and new config files. Then I just overwrite these with my own, and after that, everything is fine. This time, however, audacious won't start up at all, although it does appear as a process, briefly, in top, then disappears; and in htop it appears as a process, but does nothing, and I can only kill the process with some effort. I tried installing the plugins, codecs, etc., but thus far can't imagine what the problem may be. 2. I also have problems with qmmp. It starts up and plays just fine, but some of its behavior has changed. It's a minor annoyance, but I would like it to play the way that I had it set. Now I must do a lot more clicking to make playlist and equalizer appear or disappear; before, I would just flip from one view to another, and they disappeared or appears automatically. Before anybody makes the suggestion, I do not want to use qmmp for both online radio and for playing my local files. I have tried this before, and I prefer to stick with my own methods here, if possible, which have worked for twenty years or more. I did try out practically every other media player that might work as a substitute, but they are all inadequate in some way. Mostly, I want them to have equalization and that kind of thing, and to use Winamp skins. 3. VLC suddenly will not accept my system colors (i.e., TDE colors), but instead uses some kind of default. At least it's legible, and still plays about the same as before. But I imagine it's related to this same issue. 4. Likewise, smplayer plays the same, but now it starts up with a plain white interface, whereas before it used some kind of Gnomish-looking color scheme. In all of these cases -- and there may be others, but I haven't searched through my whole system -- one common factor is that I end up with a totally white interface (with black fonts) for menus and such. To be clear, I use my color scheme to save my eyesight, which has been giving me problems more and more with age. A white background is like torture, and within five or ten minutes, my eyes get watery, and I can't see. I've been using dark color schemes ever since the year 2000 or so, and I would like to keep it that way. At present, I really want to get audacious working again, as I usually have either qmmp playing online radio, or audacious playing music from my files. The rest, I can live with, and sort out it time. Sorry for the length. As I said, these problems all seem to be, in some way, the same underlying problem. Thanks for any help. Bill

KPDF Signal 11
by Thierry de Coulon 03 Oct '26

03 Oct '26

Hello, I've got a PDF (boarding passes) that causes KPDF to crash (SIGSEV signal 11). Other PDFs print fine, that particular one can be printed from qpdfview, or will print correctly from KPDF only after having been printed to pdf from master pdf editor. I've got the gdb crash report, it is quite long and I am not sure if there would be something to bebug and where I could (should) post it.

What's the best way to upgrade from Bookworm to whatever is current?
by J Leslie Turriff 24 Sep '26

24 Sep '26

I think I'm probably more than one release back from current; do I upgrade one release at a time, or can I go direct? and what is the current release? Leslie

Bug with Konqueror in 4k
by Luciano ES 24 Sep '26

24 Sep '26

Hi! I've been using Trinity for a little while and I ran into this bug in Konqueror. Are you aware of it? https://limewire.com/d/s6LpF#lNVi3J74PG It only happens in the 4k resolution. I also tested 1920x1080 and 2560×1440. It seems the problem only happens in 4k. Thanks in advance, -- Luciano ES >>

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.
