Konqueror view preset
by de.bug 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Hi, The Konqueror preset for the View Mode is "Icon View", which IMHO is the worst possible, as it gives no information at all except for the file type. So I always have to change this to "Detailled List View", for every tab and every new window. That is very tiresome, it keeps haunting me for years now. There surely must be a way to configure this once and for all? Unfortunately I have not found the proper config file so far. Any hints? Regards, Michael

TDE ksmserver: is it possible to save and invoke several sessions under different names
by Stefan Krusche 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Good day everyone, until now it appeared to me that TDE is only able to save the current session through TDE Menu -> Save Session. At the same time, as long as I remember, the in this way subsequently saved sessions turn up as a set of session files in ~/.trinity/share/config/session and stay there, i.e. are never deleted, not even, when the session is saved next time. I have always wondered because I have never found a way to access the "other", older saved sessions… Now. Also in ~/.trinity/share/config/ksmserverrc several sessions are saved with instructions to load or delete their respective session files in ~/.trinity/share/config/session. Let's have a closer look. Out of curiosity I played with dcop and got this: $ dcop ksmserver ksmserver […] void saveCurrentSessionAs(TQString) […] So it seems there is a function "saveCurrentSessionAs" which would save a session with an individual name given as an argument "(TQString)". I tried: $ dcop ksmserver ksmserver saveCurrentSessionAs "MySession" No error. The session files are created in ~/.trinity/share/config/session just as when you would save a session via TDE Menu -> Save Session. Then I looked in ~/.trinity/share/config/session and voilá, there appears a session with the name "MySession". There are three sessions listed: [LegacySession: MySession] clientMachine1=localhost command1=soffice count=1 [LegacySession: saved at previous logout] count=0 [LegacySession: saved by user] count=0 which then are described under their individual tags, obviously the information needed for ksmserver to restore them: [Session: MySession] […] [Session: saved at previous logout] […] [Session: saved by user] […] I am familiar with TDE's ability to start with "Session: saved by user" and "Session: saved at previous logout" and have always thought "that was it, there's no more ways to save and restore sessions" because these are the only available options in TDE Control Center -> TDE Components -> Session Manager. Until today when I found the above mentioned method to save an additional session with it's own name. Question: How to restore that session that I have saved with the name "MySession"? Or is it a feature implemented only halfway…? Any feedback welcome. Kind regards, Stefan

TLS in KMail not working after Buster upgrade
by Jan Stolarek 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

Dear all, I just did an upgrade from Debian Stretch to Buster. All seems to have went well, except one thing. When KMail attempts to fetch mail via IMAP from a server that requires TLS I get an error saying "Error initializing TLS". (Or something similar - I'm translating from Polish. The exact message in Polish is "Błąd podczas uruchamiania TLS".) Any ideas?

crashed kded.
by Gene Heskett 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

I just installed a new kbd/mouse combo with only one common dongle. Exploring the row of extra keys above the Fkeys, I found the audio mute/volup/voldown worked but the one with a power off/on symbol crashed kded, and now that whole row of buttons is dead. And can't be restarted. But I was able to kill it with a root session of htop, and then I was able to restart it, and I think everthing is back to normal. Running as me, not root. But I've no idea if its running as designed. Can this be looked at? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Has systemd broken Debian this time?
by Thierry de Coulon 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

So, I decided to try Debian 10. The install was uneventful. Fun started when I wanted to "remove" systemd, using the recipe given here before: install install sysv-rc and sysvinit-core. It worked but... it removed network-manager and lightdm (and others I did not have time to write down). AT the next reboot there is a looooong wait at: starting system message : dbus, then all I get is a command line login. I log and there is another delay before getting a prompt. Network in unreachable and I can hardly install without it :(( I had installed with xfce, I can try with some other DE. Or install TDE and hope removing systemd won't wreck everything beyond repair... Anyone got Buster running without systemd? Otherwise I'll wait for Devuan to release its Buster equivalent. Thierry

to adjust the brightness of the screen
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 16 Jul '19

16 Jul '19

Hello, On my laptop computer , the keys F11 and F12, adjusts the brightness of the screen. But on Debian-Stretch with trinity, these two keys do nothing. Before I could do that with "Configure your Desktop" and "Configure tdepowersave" with a scale from 0 to 100%. But now, it's gone. Any Idea to do that with Trinity or with F11 and F12 ? Best regards, André

by Mike Bird 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

Just upgraded my laptop from Stretch+R14 to Buster+PSB, after several successful test VPS upgrades. After logging in screen flashes like crazy and .xsession-errors mostly repeats (with different resource ids): X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 3 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x390a155 Also seeing a few of these: Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) 10 Major opcode: 2 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x180001c And an occasional: unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix:/tmp/ksocket-mgb/bravo.y.n-262a-51c100e0) [artsd] There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active... [artsd] ... cleaned 5 unused mcop global references. However login screen is fine and I can login in Failsafe mode and then run firefox and kmail from konsole without problems. Any suggestions or anything I can do to help diagnose/debug problem? TIA, --Mike

PDF crash issue
by Pisini, John 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

It looks like there is a regression in the prerelease R14.0.7 whenever I double click a PDF file in Konqueror it crashes saying nspluginviewer caused the signal 11. If I right click and do open with Kpdf it opens fine. [image: image.png]

Amarok may be out of date but that doesn't mean it should be tossed into the rubbish heap. That kind of thinking is what lead to kde4. Perhaps, one day, someone will pick it up and update it. Till then, it's just fine. I don't use the fetch over or lyrics. I do it on me own. Cheers to all, Kate
