I've got a question:
Why is it when you reboot Q4OS / TDE and log back in,
Why doesn't TDE connect to the internet automatically, like it did in MATE or
like any other DE would?

I'm glad Bill is happy with no TV. I would not be.
To wit: https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1203.html
The Hauppauge TV tuner arrived, and while it was a little fiddly -- and the author of the user guide makes no distinction between important and unimportant -- I got Kaffeine running nicely, with nice, clear pictures, EPG, everything . . . except sound. Not a peep, but an occasional crackle, which is disconcerting.
It seems as if Kaffeine is abandonware, and there is little online about it, so I am on my own unless someone here knows the application, or another app that can stream live local TV via a tuner dongle.
Does anyone?

Does krdc support automatic scaling or provide a way to configure
automatic scaling?
Seems I always have to select the Scale button to see the remote screen.
This is embarrassing. I can't get TDE to start. Downloaded and installed uneventfully. Ran sudo update-alternatives --config-xsession-manager and selected /opt/trinity/bin/starttde from the list. Reboot, no joy.
Per online information, edited /var/lib/AccountsServices/users/<my-user-name> to change XSession=LXDE-pi-x to first tde and when that didn't work TDE. Reboot. Still have LXDE.
I'm clearly missing something. If anyone knows what it is, please tell me. And in any case, once the answer is found I'll write it up and submit it for possible inclusion in the docs.

Which distro provides a full, complete TDE R14.1.2 install? Every single
TDE package. Something that can be downloaded, installed to a VM, and
install some kind of TDE meta package.
Thanks.
hi, everybody . . .
first, the discussion of kmail passwords has puzzled me a little. for
*decades* i've set up kmail to store my password, and have not been
prompted about it since. i vaguely remember being prompted for kwallet at
one time or another, usually when logging in to Proton VPN, but that's not
happened in a long time, either. in that i've had the same configuration
for years, i can't remember what i did to bring this about.
what i have encountered instead is another issue that might be kmail or it
might be something else. it is sufficiently strange that it might be of
interest, so i'll describe it.
i use ProtonMail. i hate webmail, so am happy that there is an application,
ProtonMail Bridge, that does the heavy lifting as to login, encryption,
and so on. it logs into the server, and kmail logs into it. kmail goes to
127.0.0.1 for the mail. the bridge application goes out and uses the
mile-long ProtonMail password to log in to the server. the bridge is
supported for thunderbird and a couple of other mail clients of which
kmail is not one, but the setup is pretty straightforward except for one
thing.
frequently -- not always, but often -- my kmail inbox gets not just the
mail but phantom copies of it. in the same mail run it might get 20
messages with six of them seemingly doubled. one of the two is the email
message, no problem, while the other one is blank. the blank one has
peculiar aspects. for one thing, i can't delete it in the normal way. i
delete it, but it doesn't go away. instead, it has a line struck through
it in the message list. when i restart kmail later, it is now gone. if i
haven't deleted it, it is still there.
probably unrelated, every so often, maybe once a month, a mail check will
cause an eruption of mail going back a couple months, and i get old mail
all over again.
as i said, this is probably not kmail-caused. i mention it because maybe
someone here will say, "hey! i know what that is!" and mention something
i've missed. sadly, for all its goodness Proton is happy to cling to
the "that client is unsupported" excuse.
another oddity involves my keyboard, which i like very much -- nice and
loud -- but it is a USB keyboard. it behaves strangely: it works just
fine, as now, but then after a few days it doesn't seem to register some
keys and endlessly repeats others. but i don't think it's the keyboard, in
that rebooting fixes it 100 percent of the time, for a few more days.
any guesses?

In my last email I asked:
" How do you delete those local folders to set up KMAIL as MAIL DIR?"
It looks like the local folders that are there now, use .mbx format,
because I see a COMPACT option, when you right click on the folders.
I am also needing to know how do I set up a MAILDIR directory to copy over
from Evolution to KMAIL?
Thanks,

I have been trying and failing to get my three monitors,
two of which are ancient and all of which are different,
to produce matching colors. I'm using the NVIDIA non-free
driver.
For purposes of this discussion let's ignore the hardware
color controls (which are inadequate).
I can use the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility which has
excellent controls for R, G, and B but intermittently tells
me that something else has changed the color settings.
I can use Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Display
but the Monitor Gamma function affects all three monitors
simultaneously. Unlike other gamma controls that seem
to prefer a number near 2.2, this seems to prefer a
number near 1.
I can use Trinity Control Center / System Administration /
/ Monitor & Display which purports to control the three
monitors separately but the instant I move any gamma control
by the smallest increment my right-hand monitor (no matter
which monitor I have selected) looks like a 1980's CGA
display. (This can be fixed by rebooting or by starting
the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility.)
There is also Trinity Control Center / Peripherals /
Color Profile which I have not used, and where everything
is unchecked in hopes of not confusing myself even further.
I have been unable to find anything online by searching, although
some CGA-like scrambling was mentioned in passing in this thread:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/trinity-users/msg11883.html
Can anyone point me to information on how TDE gamma controls
work, how they are supposed to be used, and/or how to stop
whatever in the background is overriding NVIDIA X Server
Settings?
Thanks!

I found this while looking for a way to integrate tdewallet with KeepassXC.
It's sort of backward from what I wanted, but might be useful.

Is there a way to configure the taskbar buttons with some feedback when
arranging to a different position among the other buttons?
I have the taskbar configured to allow manually arranging buttons, but
when I do this there is no feedback during the dragging until I drop the
button.
Just wondering whether I have something misconfigured.
Thanks.
