Hi all, we all know that Tim is usually very busy and it's hard to get in touch with him. For everyday work on the project, this is not a major problem. However, there are tasks for which Tim's hands are necessary. For example, uploading ISO images for Ubuntu 18.04 with TDE 14.0.5 into the official mirror system, adding Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic) to QuickBuild, creating GIT repositories for next applications, changes to web pages, etc. The problem is, there has been no way to contact Tim for the past 1.5 months. There is no reaction to mails - neither in mailing lists nor in direct contact. At Trinity IRC rooms Tim is not present. Every attempt to contact Tim over the Internet is unsuccessful. Please, is there anyone in the mailing list who can get in touch with Tim? Is there, for example, someone who has personal contact with Tim and can tell him that there are some tasks for which he is needed? Cheers -- Slávek

importing very old email into kmail

by dep

hi, everybody . . . i keep a running archive, in maildir format, of email going back to my first days using the pre-1.0 beta of KDE. it's cool to have an occasionally useful. over the weekend i was finally able to copy email even older than that from my old OS/2 drive. (in case it's of interest, here's how i was able to do it. the drive was formatted hpfs, and the data were in a logical partition of 641mb -- the old drive was only 2.1gb. using an ide-usb adapter i was able to mount the drive but even with the hpfs kernel driver loaded it would not read. so i made a dd image of the partition and was able to then mount the image and everything was tickety boo.) the email came in via the MR/2-ICE (Mail Reader /2 Internet Cruiser Edition) email client. while the messages are not in maildir format -- i'm not even sure maildir existed in 1994 -- they are in individual files as is maildir. ingoing and outgoing messages are stored in the same directory, the former having an .RCV extension and the latter with an .OUT extension. if i click on one of either type, it pops up just fine in a kmail window, all fields populated accurately. my initial thought was to make a /MR2-mail subdirectory in my KMail mail directory, copy them all into that, then sort them into my currently existing folders as appropriate. but then i hit a problem: the .OUT files show up just fine, but the .RCV files don't. (best i can tell, they differ only in the extensions -- both, when clicked on, open in a KMail message window.) before i simply do a mass rename, i thought i'd see if there's some proper, approved method for importing such messages/files into KMail. i keep thinking that the method i'm using might cause my esiating email files to blow up or something. is there? -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

First it seems that google isn't talking to me again. I had no Idea that you had replied to me until I went and looked on the web. Initially just files ! You may recall a little while ago I asked whether anyone knew if HP Elite 8300 machines were OK for Linux. Well they are, I've just bought one. i7 8 core 3.4 GHz cpu, 10 GB ram, 500 Gb HDD, DVD rom, GB Ethernet card. On board graphics and sound. Amazingly Q4OS simply installed and works with no issues at all. Yes I had to format the HDD to get rid of Win10, but I didn't want windows anyway. My old machine has four HDD, and nearly 2 Tb of data on them. So I thought rather than start buying cases for the HDD, I would just get the two machines to talk to each other, transfer any settings and carry on from there. But I have no real Idea how to go about it, hence the question. I'll go through the links that you have so kindly provided and see how I get on. Thanks again. -- Best Regards: Baron

Irritating kpdf console messages

by J Leslie Turriff

Whenever I happen to run kpdf from konsole it spouts an amazing amount of junk messages whenever the page view changes, i.e. scrolling, opening/closing the navigation pane, changing from full-page to page width... These seem to be developer's diagnostic messages; should they be appearing in the production version? Leslie I have attached an example of the messages, together with the small document that generated them.

How to increase the font size in Kmail HTML text

by J Leslie Turriff

How can I increase Kmail's HTML font to a readable size? (See attachment.) There's no line item in Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Apply to: for Message Body - HTML. Yes, yes, I know; HTML can have multiple font sizes. What I need is some way to scale them all by some percentage, or something.

Konqueror crashes

by J Leslie Turriff

Since I've reinstalled Trinity on my OpenSuSE Leap 15 machine, Konqueror (kfmclient openProfile filemanagement) sometimes crashes when I move the cursor over the entry for a PDF file (any PDF file). If I'm quick enough, I can right-click and select Open With... kPDF.) Tonight I tried to send the crash report that results to Trinity, but it just hangs there, 'waiting to connect...' How can I get that info into your hands? Leslie
