Random xorg & kernel errors, keep logging me out of TDE, and power management wonky
by Hawke Robinson 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

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 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

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.

Lost the ability to split screen in konqueror
by Marvin Jones via trinity-users 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

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!

Issues with SHIFT-ALT-TAB on R14.0.5
by Michael 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

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

removing stuff that's not trinity
by dep 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

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. dep Sent with ProtonMail.

kmail, next update request?
by Gene Heskett 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

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 --

kmail weirdness
by dep 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

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 dep@dep-desktop:~$ WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) suspended. Weaver dtor: destroying inventory. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) destroyed. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) destroyed. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) destroyed. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) destroyed. Weaver dtor: done 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. dep Sent with ProtonMail.
