Hi, It's me again.
Some recent Trinity update seems to have stripped my ability to
go "split screen" with konqueror. When I click on [View] -- then
"View Mode" , I get a dropdown with ONLY
TDEHTML
Embedded Advanced Text Editor
I have NO IDEA how long ago I last used the split screen option
in konqueror --- maybe 1-2 weeks ago.
The keyboard shortcuts CTL-SHIFT-L and CTL-SHIFT-T _do_ work.
$ konqueror --version
Qt: 3.5.0
TDE: R14.0.6 [DEVELOPMENT]
Konqueror: R14.0.5
$ cat `locate /etc/*release*`
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS"
VERSION_ID="16.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
VERSION_CODENAME=xenial
UBUNTU_CODENAME=xenial
Is it just me -- my system? Or, do I have some sort of bit rot that
would also explain my earlier "Lost ability to sftp via konqueror"?
Thanks!

With
TDE: R14.0.4
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
ALT-TAB brings up the task switcher and continuing to hold down ALT while
tapping TAB moves the selection down the list.
SHIFT-ALT-TAB moves the selection up the list.
With
TDE: R14.0.5
MX-18
ALT-TAB works.
SHIFT-ALT-TAB doesn’t, it moves the selection down the list instead of up.
Anyone else having issues with SHIFT-ALT-TAB on R14.0.5?
Best,
Michael
a week or so ago i upgraded to ubuntu 18.04 from 16.04. i do not think the protonmail bridge problems have anything to do with this, but in any event it brought a lot of plasma, etc., stuff that i do not want. i see that i have an application -- looks like kcontrol, superficially -- to configure sddm. i am using tdm.
is there a decent recipe for the removal of kde/plasma stuff? i suppose it's worthwhile to keep gnome (or something) around in case for some reason i can't get into tde, and of course there are gnome/gtk apps i use under tde. but it seems as if the upgrade brought me a load of stuff that i don't want, and i'm not sure that it plays nicely. i can do a search on "trinity" of course, to find tde packages, but i don't know of any search term that limits the results to non-trinity kde applications and libraries.

Greetings all;
On the next kmail update would it be possible to add a popup for the case
of the indice fixing when it gets lost?
The time lag between clicking on the OK in that event, can be long enough
you've forgotten you started kmail once already, and its cpu load while
doing that is quite minimal, and I suspect half or more of my indice
problems are probably caused by two copies of kmail fighting over the
indice files. So some sort of an I'm busy advisory popup might prevent
me from starting another copy. Leave it up until the main window is
opened and its ready for business.
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

hi, everybody . . .
so i'm using tde 14.0.5 atop ubuntu 18.04. all was tickety boo until yesterday, when kmail would no longer connect and download my mail after due course it says the connection to the server unexpectedly closed. after fiddling with this for awhile, i decided it might be useful to start kmail from the cl and see what it had to say. it was this:
[TDE NM Backend ERROR] [/build/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.5/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1707] Attempting to access the network-manager VPN service returned: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin was not provided by any .service files

i haven't the foggiest notion what any of this means and, more important, i have no idea how to fix it. anyone here ever cncounter this? anyone know how i can fix it?
thanks.

Hi All,
Using the Debian/Devuan instructions I successfully installed TDE on MX Linux.
I started with a copy of the Devuan installation page and added a few extra
bits I would have wanted if I’d seen the page ‘cold’ or been a noob as they
say.
It’s here:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/MX_Linux_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In…
Be gentle, it’s my first time ;)
# # #
As a side note, it’s a pretty nice distribution. Full disk encryption (FDE)
seems to work, even the un-mounting during shutdown (which is broken on
Devuan).
And in the useless but cool category it has a ‘battery’ applet that populates
the taskbar that even shows the percent power left in the battery of my
wireless mouse. I’m pretty sure it migrated over from Xfce that’s installed
by default?
Best,
Michael
Sort of following on from my "unable to sftp://" issue:
I've never watched the remote server logs before when using sftp:// ,
but it appears the ssh-key authentication occurs every time I move from
directory-to-directory on my remote server. Is that suppose to happen?
(It just may be yet another bizarre result
of the "unable to sftp://" issue.)

Has anyone yet upgraded a Ubuntu 16.04 + Trinity system to
Ubuntu 18.04 yet?
ref:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall#Upgrading_both_Ubuntu_and_TDE…
My Ubuntu 16.04 + Trinity 14.04 system came straight off a Trinity
install DVD -- which was then moved onto Slávek's excellent
Preliminary Stable Build sources.
