r14-xdg-update error 9 Revisited
by J Leslie Turriff 21 May '21

21 May '21

After upgrading, this has once again shown its ugly head.

Cheers > Michele I still don't understand what the entries in .config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu relate to, and why they cause this problem. Should I just blindly remove all entries that begin with 'kde-'? (Not the ones that begin with 'tde-kde-', presumably.) Do they have something to do with the .desktop files that appear in ~/Desktop/? This thing is a frustrating nuisance because there's effectively NOTHING beyond a few cryptic entries in Release Notes and the pop-up messages (which can't be copied, and don't seem to be saved anywhere. (Why is that?) if there is any documentation concerning this, I can't find it in the Wiki (beyond "Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to R14.0.x" in "Tips and Tricks", which seems to be pertinent but says nothing about recovering from errors), nor in the Documentation section. It seems to me that there needs to be some real documentation about recovering from this situation, written by someone who understands in detail what this stuff is trying to do.

Autostop
by J Leslie Turriff 21 May '21

21 May '21

When a new instance of the desktop is started, there are several ways to run scripts or applications automagically, e.g. files in ~/autostart. Is there some way to run scripts when the desktop is being closed?

Can't reset my gitea password
by J Leslie Turriff 20 May '21

20 May '21

Somehow the password for gitea in my password database has gotten out of sync with the gitea password. I used the "Forgot your password?" link, using this email address, to get a refresh token (twice now), but I never receive an email. Any suggestions?

No feedback when rceives imap mail
by Thierry de Coulon 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello all, I've got a little problem. At work they recently changed their email system for Office365. I did manage to setup an imap account in kmail, and this account works, BUT: When I get a message there, I get no notification. While all other accounts get their messages in Inbox, or the relevent directory indicated there is mail, the imap account shows nothing, so if I don't think to look I may miss important messages. I had found a workaround by setting up Thunderbird on a raspberry pi. Thunderbird autoconfigures for this account (of course at work they did not give me the informations to connect, as we are supposed to be using MacOS or Windows with application that don't require these) and I forwarded the messages to my regular mail account. However Thunderbird is a nightmare when it comes to changing the password, and the work password must be changed every month... so for the time being Thunderbird no more forwards anything. I'll take a look at Evolution for the pi, but it would actually be easier if I could just get informed that a mail arrived on the imap account. Am I missing some setup, or is it normal that imap doesn't give any feedback (I normaly use pop for my accounts). Thierry

Using Snap with TDE
by Edward 17 May '21

17 May '21

Thunderbird 78.10.1 was released almost two weeks ago and Debian has not updated the package as of last night. The other day, I installed Snap (via the Debian 'snapd' package) to try to install the Thunderbird package via Snap. Although the Snap Thunderbird package appeared to install (no errors were displayed during installation), it was not on any of the TDE menus afterward. Is there a trick to having packages installed through Snap to display on the appropriate TDE menu? Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Matroska-Theora video playing
by Echedey López Romero 08 May '21

08 May '21

Good afternoon from Spain, I have checked Kaffeine, Noatun, Kaboodle, Codeine and KMplayer as video players for Matroska contained Theora videos. In Kaffeine and KMplayer I got the audio playing but in any of them the full video was supported. I wanted to know if there was some support being worked in format support in any of the video players and which was the most promisings. As a workaround, I changed the container of the videos to OGV using ffmpeg built-in "copy codec" which got the video working at least in Kaffeine (KMplayer has some issues changing the size of the window and only a part of the video is showed). -- Regards, Echedey, Lopez Romero () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

How to configure Hotkey combination for konsole session
by Stefan Krusche 07 May '21

07 May '21

Good Day Everyone, I want to change a hotkey combination ( Win + T ) that I have been using for a specific konsole session. When I assign that combination to another program via kmenuedit, it gets "assigned" but when hit, only the previously assigned konsole session gets started. I remember that kmenuedit used to issue a warning when one tried to use a hotkey combination which had already been assigned, but reassigns it anyway when told to do so (click OK). That didn't happen now when I assigned the hotkey combination that has been in use to start that konsole session to another application. Now, I can't seem to remember how and where I configured TDE to use the above-mentioned key-combo (Win+T) to that specific konsole session. I can't find that key-combo in kmenuedit either anymore. Has anybody an idea or hint how/where hotkey combos für konsole sessions could also be configured? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

KMail SSL vs TLS
by Mike Bird 06 May '21

06 May '21

KMail account setup security settings includes a dialog of which the upper part looks like the attached image. Now my understanding is that TLS is basically a newer version of SSL. TLS 1 was reportedly just a minor improvement on SSL 3. However that is not the way these options seem to behave. I'm starting to think that the "SSL" option actually uses SSL or TLS, and the "TLS" option is actually to use STARTTLS. STARTTLS ia a magic command used in an unencrypted session to spawn a new encrypted session. For example with IMAP it kinda switches you up from port 143 to port 993. So is the "TLS" option actually TLS or is it STARTTLS? Thanks, --Mike
