Update brings lightdm back
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

Hello all, Just decided to let my Debian 10 update, which it did. Next reboot I got greeted by xfce's login screen (I had installed Debian with xfce), managed to find my way back into TDE running the usuall dpkg-reconfigure lightdm. However I was wondering: if I remove lightdm, what will happen next update? Thierry

My reply is NOT intended to upset anyone. It's not my place to tell others what to want or use. Just answer the question, which is PCLOS Big Daddy build by Alistair Izzard. Not perfect but I can get everything I need done. Video/audio editing, desktop publishing, internet, email and more. Very reliable, hasn't failed me yet. Thanks Ali. If someone else wants to use something else, wonderful. I look forward the comparison and stories about it. Difference is wonderful. Just answer the question, the why of this question belongs only to the one asking. For the record.... 1974 Chevy Nova Coupe Hatchback RS Thinkpad T60 with a WD SSD Kate hopes off the soap box and mysteriously disappears to the mist.

more on my kmail 100% problemns
by Gene Heskett 19 Oct '19

19 Oct '19

Greetings; I just noticed that 1 of the 2 lists I had sorted into subdirs by the year, was placing new incoming messages in a subdir I had prepared to hold the 2019 messges, even though the filter rules said to put new incoming that matched that filer rule, into the main folder. So I shift marked the 2019 folders content a month at a time and drug it back to the main emc folder, leaving the 2019 folder empty, so I deleted in and its 3 subdirs. This of course crashed kmail. On restart, its now doing 95%+ but is doing it for only a few milliseconds per core, switching faster than gkrellm can accurately track. But for some reason its skipping core2? ?? ??? And then it crashed again, and I submitted that report. Now on the restart, which nicely saved this message, its back to using all 4 cores for a couple seconds each. But I mentioned it, so it just stuck on core0 for about 15 seconds. Now trying to get some clues from lsof and a few filter stages of grep, I find one instance per year for the emc folder, but the other, "coco" folder and all its subdirs will need a final |wc -l showing 170 instances. I just found I'd not nukes the coco's 2019 indice stuff, so one more restart. But I'll send this first...

ignored kmail crash reports.
by Gene Heskett 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Greetings all; Are you send those to /dev/null? I've sent a whole bunch of them. These crashes always seem to be preceded by a couple days of a kmail session burning up a core of 4 cores, bouncing to the next available core, at 99 to 100% at 15 second or so intervals. These seem to be related to kmail finding trash files in its database, causing problems while re-indexing. I have two folders which are subfolders with a given years messages manually sorted into that years corpus. When I relaunch kmail after one of these crashes, I am getting advisories that so-and-so has an index problem, and its generally the top level folder, and 2 or 3 of its subfolders that are named. And the older folders are slowly being emptied, as in messages are disappearing despite having no expiry set up. Can anything be done, or is there something I can check-uncheck someplace? Thanks.

Some positive changes in TDE DEV
by deloptes 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

Hi, recently I followed your discussion regarding "device monitor". I did a refresh on the repository yesterday and compiled latest what I got, installed today and two things made a very good impression. The icon and "Device Monitor" is nice and secondly suddenly my tdebluez app started notifying me when I connect or disconnect one of the phones. I am sure this was not working before and I am not aware of changing anything on the code in this context, so something must have been repaired perhaps in the context of device management. Thank you all for the effort!

Q: Alternative list background
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

Hi all! I have konqueror set to a dark background with bright font. When I use icon view, things look great. But any list view uses the color from "alternative list background" that is set in tcontrol, which in my case is light to match the light background of all other windows with dark font. This leads to light/dark lines in konqueror (which I do not want, I want dark background and maybe a slightly lighter alaternating background). When I set alternative background to bdark, then konqueror looks fine but e.g. ark has zebra stripes. Does anybody know of a way to make konqueror not use the alternative list background?

Localhost problem !
by Baron 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Hi Guys, Running Q4OS, i7 10Gb ram, HP8300 machine. For some reason when I do "http://me@localhost:630/admin" it can take up to 30 minutes before "CUPS 1.7.5 comes up. The message "localhost contacted, waiting for reply" is shown and a spinner icon. Even when it does it can take a similar time to open a page. Than clicking on "Manage Printers" when it does come up says "Printer Error" "Unable to get printer list" But my printer is shown on the Administration page. I can't print anything any more ! Help please. The Q4OS forum where I was pointed to have not helped at all. Thanks in advance everyone. -- Best Regards: Baron

Konqueror mount error
by Thierry de Coulon 11 Sep '19

11 Sep '19

Hello all, Debian Buster with R.14.07 (Development). I have an external SATA to USB enclosure with removable discs. When I slip a disc in and turn it on, I get a Konqueror error (unable to mount this device, see attachment). However, I can mount it with no problem from the command line. My guess is that it's a timing problem, Konqueror trying to mount something that is not yet available, but I don't know what to do. I did not have this with Stretch and "stable" TDE, so it might also ave to do with de "Development" version. Thierry
