integration into source-based distributions?
by Abe 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Hi all. To make the long story short: I inspected <https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Documentation>, and I did not find anything about integration into source-based distributions [e.g. Funtoo and Gentoo]. Does TDE yet have integration into source-based distributions, preferably in an up-to-date fashion [e.g. TDE 14.x is integrated into <current/latest major release>.x of some distro]? If yes, and you know about it, then please both reply to my email and update the TDE documentation. Regards, Abe

[OT] Spam
by Michael 31 Oct '20

S'Okay, we all know spam exists, and any list is going to get some... I'm also pretty sure the mods of our list delete the spammer's account immediately. So? Please? Can we agree to just delete what does get through? Best All, Michael

Fwd: alt-tab behavior driving me nuts: switcher only shows other windows that are on the *_same screen_*
by Abe 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

[sorry if the below has messed-up formatting; I sent it a few days ago, but apparently the list software rejected it — without even so much as a bounce :-( — b/c I was not yet a subscriber to the list] Hello folks. First off: I _love_ TDE for keeping KDE 3.x alive. ;-) Recently, the alt-tab behavior on one of my GNU/Linux boxes has been driving me nuts: when I press alt-tab, the switcher only shows other windows that are on the *_same screen_* as the one that was active/current/front at the time I pressed alt-tab. With windows spread across two screens, this is _very_ annoying. I tried to find a way to configure this, but I did not find one. [EDIT: please read all the way to the bottom of this e-mail for additional details that I found while writing this email but _way_ after writing _this_ paragraph up to the "EDIT" marker.] Current setup on the machine in question: Debian 7.11, TDE 3.5.13.2, one video card installed, nVidia PCI-Express video card with 4 heads possible [only 2 in use], GPU seems to be an "NVS 510", nVidia proprietary driver 450.57; two monitors, both "technically" 1600x1200 ["technically" b/c one of them is "rotated", so it "looks like" 1200x1600], only 1 desktop, and Xinerama & RandR are both off according to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". The motherboard has a VGA port on it, but I must have disabled the relevant on-board chip in the BIOS settings [or did the BIOS disable that chip by itself based on the fact that I have a video card installed and selected as "primary"?] since it`s not showing up in "lspci"`s output. From the "NVIDIA X Server Settings" program: * Server Version Number: 11.0 * Server Vendor String: The X.Org Foundation * Server Vendor Version: 1.12.4 (11204000) * NV-CONTROL Version: 1.29 * Screens: 1 From "lspci -v": 09:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0ffd (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0967 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 27 Memory at c2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at b0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at 1000 [size=128] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [78] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [b4] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 <?> Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [128] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [600] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=024 <?> Kernel driver in use: nvidia Other "trivia": 4.13.16 self-configured kernel. PS/2 keyboard and "mouse" [trackball, really ;-)]. "Stop the presses!" ;-) : look what I found in my "~/.trinity/share/config/kwinrc" while searching through "~/.trinity/": [TabBox] TraverseAll=false ... however, when I edited that to "TraverseAll=true" and logged out and then back in [to TDE], alt-tab _still_ behaved as before. :-( I checked that the edit wasn`t overwritten, and it wasn`t. Also found in the same file, in the "[Windows]" section: AltTabStyle=KDE Should I be messing with _that_ somehow? Also: how/where should I find these settings in a GUI context? They don`t seem to be available in KControl. OK, hold on... I think I found them, in "Desktop"::"Window Behavior"::"Focus", under the section heading "Navigation". I tried turning "Traverse windows on all desktops" off, hitting "Apply", then turning it back on again and "Apply" again, but it did _not_ seem to help. :-( "The plot _thickens_!" When I switch off "Show window list while switching windows" [in "Desktop"::"Window Behavior"::"Focus", under the section heading "Navigation"], I get the following changes: * my "~/.trinity/share/config/kwinrc" now has "AltTabStyle=CDE" instead of "AltTabStyle=KDE" * alt-tab _does_ traverse windows on both screens -- but, of course, does not show visual feedback for the switcher I searched for something relevant in the Bugzilla, but I found nothing that was an exact match. I _did_ find the following, which I`m including here... #1, for "completeness", and #2, to _prove_ that I really _did_ search the Bugzilla before emailing to the list. ;-) * https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1787 * " Include minimized system tray apps in Alt+Tab switching" How can I [at least try to] solve this problem? I _want_ the KDE-style switcher [with visual feedback], not the CDE-style "silent" and/or "invisible" one, but I _also_ want _all_ windows [or at least as many as possible, given bug #1787] from _all_ screens to be included in the switcher`s list and keyboard-selection choices. Suggestions, anybody? Regards, Abe

pixel density from ksnapshot
by Jim 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

I was wondering if someone who has Image Magick installed and is running a newer TDE than 14.0.5 would do an experiment for me... If you create a PNG file (say, a.png) with ksnapshot, what does identify -units PixelsPerInch -format '%x,%y\n' a.png output? Thanks. Jim
