I have to work with crackmonkey clients. Both itblows and snapple. They keep saying how there's SO much more software for them and yet none of it is useful. Just games. Useless file managers (all hail Konqueror, which is aptly named) and the CLI (via konsole). I do like to run different distros but I only use one for work. Currently Ark Linux 2008 and Ali's BigDaddy. I'm hoping to retire Ark for BigDaddy or Slackware if and when TDE makes it there. I hope to gain enough skill to do it meself. Cheers and happy father's day to all, Kate

KMail migration to another computer

by Glen Cunningham

G'day All Trinity Gurus, I am currently running KMail on a very old KDE/Trinity installation. /etc/issue shows "Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS" which needs to be pensioned off immediately. I have installed tde-14.0.4-ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso onto a newer computer. The installation seems OK and I managed to transfer the mozilla bookmarks to the new computer but getting KMail across has me stumped. Googling did not produce anything useful. :-((( On this old computer the KMail info seems to be stored in /home/glen/.kde3/share/apps/kmail but the new installation seems to have a very different directory structure. So, can the KMail settings and emails be copied to the newer computer? If anyone knows how, please let me know in GOF-speak (that is words of 2-syllables or less). Ta, Glen

starting trinity fails with segfault of dcopserver

by Stefan Krusche

Good day everyone, I can't seem to get a trinity session started on a freshly installed Devuan/ascii system. System information: $ uname -a Linux rubians 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux TDE is from preliminary stable builds: $ /opt//trinity/bin/tde-config --version Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.5 [DEVELOPMENT] tde-config: 1.0 TDE's display manager tdm seems to run fine, but after trying to login the xserver crashes, restarts and brings me back to the login screen. Xorg.log doesn't show any errors (EE), only a couple of warnings (WW), and slim/xfce starts well, so the problem does not *seem* to be with my xorg installation/configuration. Apparently the fatal error for tdm (taken from /var/log/tdm.log; see below) seems to be: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 10630 requests (10630 known processed) with 12 events remaining. At the same time the kernel reports segfaults of xsetroot, dcopserver and drkonqi: # /var/log/kern.log: xsetroot[13335]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffc3e25b728 error 14 in xsetroot[5565ab996000+3000] dcopserver[13348]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffe62f8bfb8 error 14 in tdeinit[561ca05e9000+f000] drkonqi[13349]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffdc6e1ef78 error 14 in drkonqi[556e1e321000+2c000] drkonqi[13357]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffd3ae13258 error 14 in drkonqi[559954651000+2c000] drkonqi[13358]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffcd2440b98 error 14 in drkonqi[563d84b6a000+2c000] drkonqi[13364]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffd8ee79d38 error 14 in drkonqi[55fc873bf000+2c000] drkonqi[13366]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffe42274928 error 14 in drkonqi[5574adb0e000+2c000] dcopserver[13373]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffd4592dcc8 error 14 in tdeinit[564c11c4d000+f000] drkonqi[13375]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00007ffc4ab0fa98 error 14 in drkonqi[55e870384000+2c000] TDE's start script /opt/trinity/bin/starttde also reports segmentation fault and crashes of a couple of TDE programs. Main reason for failure seems to be that dcopserver can't be started (all marked with "<----"). I'm stuck and don't know how to find out the root of the problem. I'm probably missing something here. Any hints and advice much appreciated. Kind regards, Stefan # ~/.xsession-errors: Xsession: X session started for stekru at Mo 4.

cups or tde belly ache, kmail can't print to cheap brother lazer

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I am in the process od transitioning to stretch, and there are some helpfull email messages I need to print. . But I need to print them on a brother HL-2140, about a penny a sheet. not of the big ink squirter at 25 to 50 cents a sheet not to mention its in pages per hour speed. But when I send something to the little brother, knotify pops up with the following message: A print error occurred. Error message received from system: Error while reading filter description for (bold>) true. Empty command line received. This printer is shared and works fine from any other machine on my 6 machine home network, it only miss-behaves from kmail. Up to date TDE r14.0.0.5 install. Any clues? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
