[trinity-users] Mime Types
by Baron 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Hi Guys, I've somehow created a problem for myself ! I tried to add an application via control panel so that I could just click on a file and it would open in that application. I closed the windows and clicked on the file and now all I get for everything is and error message "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream" Control panel no longer pops up and everything requires clicking OK. Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards: Baron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] tdm config question
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

Hi all! I have this setup on FreeBSD: - tdm is listening for XDMCP - Xvnc (as nobody) uses XDMCP and is started by inetd on port 5900. - any user can ssh to the server, port 5900 is accessible via tunnel - "vncviewer localhost 5900" briungs up tdm login screen - logging in and working with TDE works flawless - big thumbs up :) But I would like to change the TDM appereance. Now it's black text on blue background, and the DPI settings are wrong (looks like they are 70dpi or something like that). The only thing I can change is the textcolor of the list of users, but the rest of the theme is ignored (no clock, background alwaqys dark blue, small text ...). Any idea which config file I should tweak?

[trinity-users] kmail and m$ exchange
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Mar '20

21 Mar '20

Hello all, My school just decided to use office365 for our mail adresses. I was able to setup Thunderbird to access this new e-mail, however it means if I don't think start thunderbird I won't see if I got mail. Is it possible to configure kmail to access an exchange server?

Re: [trinity-users] Current build throws kjobviewer libcups error (cups disabled)
by Snidely Whiplash 21 Mar '20

Gmail's UI is confusing garbage... I somehow managed to send this reply only to Michele, and not the list On Thu, Mar 19, 2020 at 3:14 AM Michele Calgaro <michele.calgaro(a)yahoo.it> wrote: Thanks for the info. KJobViewer autostart is dependant on tdeprintrc:Jobs:KeepWindow property, so you can set that to false rather than remove the file, otherwise the next build may reisntall the desktop autostart file. Still we will need to see why cups is pulled in if built without support for it. I have created an issue on TGW as a reminder https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdelibs/issues/78 Every distro would have it, so it's not something that would get noticed. I was thinking, I might well be the only person here that doesn't have CUPS. I'm a stubborn dinosaur... I'll have only what I want, how I want it, and where I want it :-) The option to disable Cups does allow tdelibs to build, at least. It was never a problem for me before this change, perhaps kjobviewer was just silently failing to load (I don't think I've ever seen it, even on my Manjaro gaming setup where I do have Cups... also a build from before the change, I'm soon going to do a new build there too). I don't remember seeing it in KDE back in the 2000's either (and you guessed it, I didn't have a printer then either) I also saw the KJobViewer "keep window permanent" commit in tdelibs when I was looking for the cause of the changed behaviour for me, but didn't make the connection. Indeed I would expect my next build to install that .desktop file with tdebase. Thanks for posting the report. I'm not too good at that. Will test if anything is done about it though.

[trinity-users] korganizer... how to see contacts?
by D. R. Evans 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Probably a silly question with an obvious answer... When I start Kontact, I see a nice list of contacts. It also puts korganizer in the system tray. When I then close Kontact, korganizer stays in the system tray, but I don't see any way to get the list of contacts back without again starting Kontact. How do I either: 1) see the contacts from korganizer? or: 2) stop korganizer from starting when I run Kontact? (Basically, I don't want korganizer running unless it's going to allow me to see contacts.) Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

[trinity-users] ksmserver crashes at logout
by Mio 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

I'm trying to debug an annoying bug in ksmserver that happens sometimes leads to it's crash and logout process break. Main trouble that it happens randomly, i can repeat 10 logouts in a row without issues, and next one will be broken. One thing what i've noticed that crash happens when some application didn't respond in time and buttons "Skip notification" and "Cancel logout" appears in the shutdown process window. I've also tested the logout with some SIGSTOP'ped apps and have no issues. That gives me a naive idea, that there have place some race condition and when ksmserver is processing some "client" record, and in the same time corresponding application is finishing it's work that leads to deleting that "client" record, but i'm too newbie in the X transport and other things so i may be wrong. Here are 3 valid backtraces, due to reproducing instability i can't collect more for this time. Maybe someone will have some idea about this bug or methods to more stable reproduce? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Good day everyone, amarok can't seem to find/see *.ape files in folders and it's not possible to add them to a playlist. Package monkeys-audio is installed. Amarok is running on a Devuan GNU/Linux ascii system with TDE R14.0.8 PSB. Thanks for any hint.

[trinity-users] autoremove removed TDE widgets
by D. R. Evans 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

I thought it was perfectly safe to execute "apt autoremove", which I was under the impression simply cleaned up old, unused .deb files. Apparently I was wrong, in a major way :-( After executing autoremove and rebooting, my TDE desktop is missing all the widgets that used to be on the desktop and in the panels. Worse, I can't find them to re-add them to the desktop/panel any more. To give just one example, I used to run superkaramba; now it can't be found anywhere and I can't add it to the panel. What do I need to do to get back my wonderful, functional desktop? That's the last time I trust "autoremove" to do the right thing.... Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

xdg-open and libreoffice
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 Mar '20

01 Mar '20

hi all! Looks like a little GNOME just hit me with a club: I'm working on a presentation with libreoffice impress (yes, I hnow, why ...). Now that thing has a function "Edit image using external tool". Selecting that, impress calls "xdg-open file://tmp/sdfsfewf.png" - which call in my case kuickshow - which is not surprising, as I use kuickshow for viewing images. But how do I persuade that piece of a genius to call gimp ??? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
