My own site can't be accessed
by Thierry de Coulon 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hello all, It's not a Trinity problem (although it happens in kmail), but as I know there are some experienced people on this list, maybe someone can give me a hint. Since yesterday I can't connect kmail to my main mail server (the server of my own website). I can't send either, I can't connect to the website, I can't connect to it's cpanel, I can't ftp either. I *can* connect to the internet, I get mail from another website, it's really only "my" website. I use spamdrain as spamfilter and spamdrain can access my mail. So does gmail. My handphone can read my mail over data from the very same pop3 server. The provider says from his point of vue everything is working. I've reset the modem and the router. It's not my machine as every machine on my local network has the problem. What, on my local network, could block access to only my website (the provider's site is accessible)? Firewall is activated but nothing has been changed yesterday. The fact that only *one* site is having problem makes me think the problem is at the hosting site, but... I'm really puzzled. Thierry

CDE window decorations missing?
by John P. Willis 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hello all, The CDE window decorations appear to be missing after upgrading from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch and also upgrading TDE (now on R14.0.6). Have they been removed from TDE, or is there something I can do to get them back? My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity-desktop.list: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian stretch main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian stretch main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debi… stretch main deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debi… stretch main Thanks much!

mails spams and kmail
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hello, As many, I receive many spams. Kmail has a 2 filters : "Filter configuration" and "pop filter configuration" Which is the difference ? For some mails, I want to delete them. This option does'nt seem possible, only to put them in the trash or another folder, and deleting them after manually. So, is it possible to delete these mails without to put them before in the trash ? Thanks, regards, André

kmail filter problem
by Gene Heskett 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

Greetings folks; I have had a loooong list of all caps strings at the top of my filter list for years. But recently the filter has been changed to apparently be caseless. But I've had to pick quite a few messages back out of the spam folder and put them where they should go by hand. Then one of those lists is in the runup to a new release, and the subject line has included the word planning which now is firing on the ANNI rule so it get moved to thespam folder. As I've played with the filter rules trying to fix this without knowing it had become case insensitive, I've been highlighting the message and hitting ctl+j, which is supposed to apply the filters again, but the messages so treated to the ctl+j are now being deleted! So I've apparently lost forever, around 10 messages from a very important to me, list before I started the filter log viewer to see what was going on. Can you please put back the case sensitivity?

fonts super tiny in gtk apps
by Matt `da Wolf 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

I've checked all the font settings I can tihnk of. Everything is set to at least 28 or 32 as I am on a 4k screen. Everything works as expected in other desktop environments. This occurs on CentOS and Ubuntu, and I am at a loss to explain it. -- Regards, Matt `da Wolf ============= ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??!! GO REDSKINS!!! ADOPT A WOLF! SAVE THE WOLVES!

New matching widescreen kdm & ksplash themes "KDEglass" (or "TDEglass")
by David C. Rankin 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

To all those who say new KDE3/TDE content is dead... I says "Bah-Humbug!" Here is a matched set of kdm / ksplash widescreen themes. (or tdm / tsplash, I can't keep up...) The kspash theme requires the moodin ksplash engine which is available by default. KDEglass widescreen kdm theme https://www.deviantart.com/drankinatty/art/Kdeglass-Kdm-1-0-799928564 KDEglass widescreen ksplash (moodin engine) https://www.deviantart.com/drankinatty/art/Kdeglass-Ksplash-Moodin-engine-7… When you download, they are damn .zip files because deviantart will not allow you to save as .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 (sheeze you think by now they would have grown up) So, download to a folder, switch to the folder and: unzip kdeglass_moodin.zip tar -cjf kdeglass_moodin.tar.bz2 kdeglass_moodin and unzip kdeglass_kdm-1.0.zip tar -cjf kdeglass_kdm-1.0.tar.bz2 kdeglass_kdm Then both can be added through kde control center, Appearance->ksplash "Add" and the same for kdmtheme. You can also install manually. Enjoy. Let me know if something doesn't work, and I'll tweak it. They are working fine here. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Suspend Buttons disappeared
by de.bug 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi, a recent update has left me without the sleep and hibernate buttons on logout. I get a message instead: warning: suspend to ram disabled by administrator I can't seem to find any config file for this. Suspend still works when invoked from the console. Any hints on how to get this back? Thanks, Mike

[trinity-users] which distro might be preferable with POTS web connection and WINE?
by Felix Miata 24 May '19

24 May '19

Maybe the better question would be does anyone here have any users using POTS and WINE, and if so, on which distro? I haven't haven't suffered POTS or known more than one who has in close to 20 years. The one who has is the owner of the target. He has zero competence in computer setup or maintenance, historically struggling to do much more with internet than collect Windows malware. His email is Juno. Absent a suggestion backed by recent experience with POTS and WINE, I'll be choosing between Mageia, openSUSE and Debian. Target is a Vaio laptop (not mine) with 2.2GHz dual core with 2GB RAM and GM965 14" 1280x800 video. I have an openSUSE maintenance installation (only IceWM for X) on it now, which will stay. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

TDE Weblate Translation Workspace Available!
by Slávek Banko 19 May '19

19 May '19

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the new TDE Weblate Translation Workspace (TWTW) collaboration tool, which allows users to easily translate TDE strings into their languages and contribute to improve the quality of the TDE translations. TWTW is a self-hosted instance of Weblate designed to manage TDE translations. It is tightly integrated with TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW) and provides: * a simple and clean user interface for working on translations * integrated quality checks of translations * displaying of referenced source files in TGW * retrieving translations and templates from TGW * automatic updating of translations according to the templates * automated committing of translations back into TGW * proper crediting of translators in commit messages * consistent updating of strings from both stable and development branches Thanks to TWTW users can simply focus on the translation work without having to worry about how to get the translation template files, how to update them and how to send their changes back to developers. Even users without any coding knowledge will be able to successfully contribute to improve translation strings and make TDE an even better environment. Read more about TWTW and how to use it on the wiki https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/TDE_Weblate_Translation_Workspace and access the workspace at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/weblate .
