Slow responding sound?
by Darrell Anderson 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

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]

krdc mouse pointer
by Darrell Anderson 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

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.

Akregator
by Darrell Anderson 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

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.

More Akregator observations
by Darrell Anderson 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

* 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.

[off topic] sorry
by ajh-valmer 24 Mar '25

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

konqueror sidebar new behaviour since 14.1.3?
by Rody 23 Mar '25

23 Mar '25

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? Rody

Are there any userchrome themes for Firefox/Librewolf that fit the look of TDE? I'd like to know a few so my browser UI doesn't look out of place. Thanks

Printing font sizes
by Darrell Anderson 22 Mar '25

22 Mar '25

Since starting my damn-the-torpedoes-full-speed-ahead journey the past few weeks to solely use TDE, I found the need today to print a simple one-page text file. Since using KDE Kate for the past some years I had to always temporarily change the font size from old eyes on-screen 20 point to 12 point for printing, then restore the font size for old eyes on-screen viewing. A nuisance to some degree. For my current print task I began to do likewise with TDE Kate. I ran into some nuisance issues. There is no Print Preview menu option like in KDE Kate. I looked in the TDE Katepart toolbar config dialog. There is an option to add a Print button to the toolbar but not for Print Preview. Instead there is a Preview check box in the Print dialog. Curiouser and curiouser. The Print Preview dialog opened to an annoying half screen window. I want to preview the entire document, not the upper one-third. A one-click solution using the window sizing widgets to change the window to full screen, but not permanent. I ended up creating a special window rule to open the Print Preview dialog full screen. Search as I might, configuring the Print Preview window to default to full screen without the rule escapes me. Okay, I found a solution, but there must be a way to do this without a rule, right? I proceeded to exercise my cursing skills because despite having changed my old eyes on-screen font size to 12 point, the Print Preview kept showing the font size as my original 20 point selection for on-screen, forcing the short document into two pages. Then the cobwebs flushed. I remembered TDE Kate has different font schemas, including one for printing. Ah yes, now I remember. I might have changed the old eyes on-screen font size, but the Print schema remained the same 20 points. I modified the Print schema to 12 point and the Print Preview looked great. A one page document. Then I restored the old eyes on-screen font size to 20 point. That got me searching the web for why KDE Kate does not do this. Same roots and heritage, right? I don't know. A rabbit hole. Looks like the font schema feature was removed or moved somewhere that only geeks would know where to look. Or I am blind and stupid. In the end I thought, yes, a fine feature to have different font schemas. Screens and printers are different. Nice to know that within TDE Kate I do not have to temporarily modify the old eyes on-screen font size when printing. Convenient. And unlike KDE Kate, TDE Kate launches almost instantaneously. Chalk up a few points for TDE. Rub my belly and watch my leg jiggle.

Sound issues
by SuperRyn 22 Mar '25

22 Mar '25

I have a strange issue where if the first application to make sounds closes, all other applications become incapable of making sounds until I reboot This is the case with or without the sound system being enabled I'm on Arch Linux, and installed trinity via the tde-meta package. If it helps, I used to have gnome, xfce4, and enlightenment installed, but removed them.
