Switch to trinity
by phiebie＠drei.at 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

Debian Buster, KDE 3.5.10. aptitude As more and more software-updates clash with their dependencies against what KDE needs or provides, I wanted to install trinity, preliminary stable, alongside KDE. KDE should stay operational till I had transferred my settings and programs aso to trinity. No go! Tdebase was fetched and seemingly installed, but when I restarted the computer and wanted to start KDE, there was only a black screen with the mouse-cursor and whatever I did with keyboard or mouse, nothing happened. Cold reboot to clear memory, same thing. Okay, let's then have a look at trinity. A blue screen with the logo appeared and after a few seconds something like "no ..... available check your installation"and I only could close that window via a warm reboot. KDE gave me the black screen again and also TDE said "check installation". Installed TDE again, same results as before. Half an afternoon had passed with no desktop still available. Glad, that I had backupped my system before the experiment and could restore my working KDE. So there's also a clash between TDE and KDE, incredible! Where should I look for the culprit for this disaster? Kind regards.

Hi Guys, When I get an update, I also get a message "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" But the packages never get removed ! Should they be automatically removed or is there something that I should do ? Thanks in advance. -- Best Regards: Baron

I don't know if it's useful to you. Also, you can try installing Seamonkey,which has the same web editor as part of the suite. Assuming opensuse has it as a package. Kate

KPDF Print wants to convert my document to...what?
by J Leslie Turriff 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

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 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

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 28 Jan '19

28 Jan '19

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 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

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 | --------------------------------------------------------------------
