KPDF Print wants to convert my document to...what?

by J Leslie Turriff

I don't often print PDF documents, but recently when I have tried to do so I have been stymied when KPDF told me that my document needs conversion. It also says something about using a non-CUPS print server, which is not my case. I have attached screen shots of the relevant message dialogs that KPDF produces. When I click through these, most of the time KPDF just disappears, but sometimes I see the third dialog first. I can find no information on what it's really wanting or trying to do, so I have no clue as to which MIME type to choose. My understanding is that somewhat recently, Linux has switched from printing PDFs directly to converting them to PostScript; perhaps that has something to do with this? What is the proper way to navigate these dialogs? Leslie

tdekbdledsync

by Russell Brown

Hmmm.... tdekbdledsync is trying to control the wrong keyboard LEDs for remote displays. We have a number of remote users (XDMCP/tdm) and each one has a tdekbdledsync process running with /dev/tty0 and /dev/input/eventX open on the server (the machine hosting tdm) and not the remote workstation. This is obviously wrong. Ideally, tdekbdledsync should be smarter and not try to control the keyboard LEDs on remote displays but as it isn't, can I globally disable tdekdbledsync? (we don't run X on the main server console). I looked at the tdm source and in kgapp.cpp I see: if (trinity_desktop_synchronize_keyboard_lights) { kbdl = new TDEProcess; *kbdl << TQCString( argv0, strrchr( argv0, '/' ) - argv0 + 2 ) + "tdekbdledsync"; kbdl->start(); } but I can't find what sets "trinity_desktop_synchronize_keyboard_lights". Any pointers? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs clean HTML code?

by Michael

Hi All, Completely off topic, and I understand that this is like asking who has the Holy Grail... Anyone have good experience with a WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs plain, clean HTML code? Anything close to say LibreOffice Writer or MS Word that exports/outputs regular HTML and not a thousand lines of trash to say “Hello World?” While I’m wishing on a star, if it also has a spell-checker and a table of contents creator based on H tags nirvana might just be found! Best, Thanks, Michael

How does one globally disable device notifications

by Russell Brown

Hi, We've recently moved from 4:14.0.4 on Debian jessie to 4:14.0.6 on Debian stretch and all of our users (remote displays via tdm/XDMCP) are getting device popups when a usb device is connected (daily change of SSD for backup for example). How do I globally disable this? I've tried putting a kdedrc in my global profile directory containing: >[Module-mediamanager][$i] >autoload=false > >[Module-medianotifier][$i] >autoload=false but that doesn't seem to do it. Any ideas? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

Random xorg & kernel errors, keep logging me out of TDE, and power management wonky

by Hawke Robinson

Greetings, First, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TDE! The horrible things they have done to KDE from 4.x onward seem unspeakably bad. I am so very grateful you revived this much more productive interface. I am however having some trouble and not sure how much is TDE, video driver, touchpad/touchscreen driver, kernel, and/or other hardware driver issues. If it isn't TDE itself, I appreciate help isolating which components to tackle first. I haven't figured out the causality yet, and it is random seeming but frequent. Periodically the little crash indicator red light icon shows up in the lower right corner of taskbar. Sometimes the message when I mouse hover over the icon: "A problem in the xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.1.el7 package has been detected". Other times it is something about a kernel error, and then before I can read more, I get logged out of TDE and brought to the login screen. Also the screen will dim down considerably some times, seemingly randomly, appearing to be around 10-25% brightnness, but command line cranking it up to 1.0 barely raises it up. I have to fully reboot the system to get the screen brightness back to normal. It _might_ (and I emphasize guessing heavily) coincide with multitouch on the touchpad, but really can't trigger it reliably. It usually happens faster if I am using the laptop, but sometimes I come back and it has logged itself out without my being there at all. Sometimes it seems to trigger the logout when I am using 2-finger or 3-finger scrolling on the touchpad. Sometimes the touchpad makes the mouse jump around. Other times it behaves just fine. There is also a weird behavior if I accidentally click two fingers on the touchpad 3-4 Konsole screens appear, and I click on the X in upper right hand corner of each window to close, when I click on the 2nd to last one, 3 more appear! The only way to stop that is to type "exit" in each rather than using the mouse. Weird behaviors, but seem interconnected somewhat? Everything else seems to be working well though I haven't tried any 3d tests yet. The "Automatic But Reporting Tool" shows "My (0)" and "System (4) but in the right hand column shows "No problems detected!". I'm not sure where to begin as far as logs that might be useful, so could use a little guidance. There is a lot of whitenoise (to me at least) on the logs, so suggestions would be appreciated. This is a very new 2 in 1 laptop, and I wonder if it has anything to do with the drivers between the touch screen (which I only rarely use) and the touchpad (use a lot), and/or something with the video drivers. But I'm totally shotgunning here. Specifications information here: http://www2.techtalkhawke.com/news/linux-on-dell-xps-9575-15-inch-2-in-1-1 Also at end of posting linked above are log outputs from /var/log/messages, tdm.log, Xorg.0.log, ~/.xsession-error, etc. Appreciate help isolating the issues or if this is common/known issue on this new hardware, any known fixes or workarounds to try. Thanks kindly!

kmail 14.0.6 misinterpreting settings?

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi! Could somebody please check if this only affects me: open kmail, go to font settings, check "use on fonts", set "new message" to style "bold". Close setting dialog, mark a message as new --> font should change to bold. Reopen kde font settings, pick "new message" --> settings show "italic", not "bold". BTW, I have 2 lines of "italic" now. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
