Knode filters?
by J Leslie Turriff 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

I'm trying to get Knode to filter out spam entries from the downloads in the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup, but I'm finding the info in the Handbook confusing, and my filters aren't doing anything. My attachments show what I've come up with so far. Does my Spam Filter need to be above All in the list? The handbook doesn't talk about this aspect of the configuration at all. If that's not the problem, what else do I need to look at? Leslie

problem creating a project with tdevelop
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 30 Sep '18

30 Sep '18

Hi all! I am trying to crate a simple TDE application with tdevelop. Automatic code creation works,"./configure" works, but the final "make" fails from tdevelop with this error: ../libtool: line 1300: func_opt_split: command not found libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2ubuntu1, but the libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.6. libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6b Debian-2.2.6b-2ubuntu1 libtool: and run autoconf again. Libtool on devuan ascii is 2.4.6-2, so where does that come from .. and how to solve it? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Confusing Toolbar Icons in Kate
by J Leslie Turriff 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

When customizing my Kate toolbar I ran afoul of something confusing: there are two sets of Save and Save As... icons; one set in Main Toolbar <kate> and the other in Main Toolbar <KatePartView>. I initially used the <kate> ones, which appeared in the default Toolbar Customization dialog, but was disconcerted to find that clicking on Save opened the Sessions -> Save dialog. Eventually I found the ones in <KatePartView>, which save files. Would it be possible to change at least the text that goes with the Session Save icons to avoid such confusion? Leslie

[trinity-users] In defense of TDE (or any mature software for that matter)
by Felix Miata 22 Sep '18

22 Sep '18

Nice explanation both why TDE exists, and why Linux is not more popular: https://www.remembertheusers.com/2015/09/0002-rapid-release-and-usability.h… -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata *** http://fm.no-ip.com/
