Me great grandmother always said the above to encourage me. I was a wee child (and adult now) so everyone always assumed I was incapable. They were wrong lol. Most of the people I have using Linux are over the age of 60. About, hmm, 40 something people. Then about a dozen kids. It's because of the high numbers of pensioners that I'm trying to get qtcurve to use background images like the brushed metal of baghira. The background doesn't blend in with the colours, making it easier for them to see differences. I feel they are worth the effort, despite how much they've shrunk. But this is all off topice so I'll end it here. Back to business lads and lasses. Cheers William of The Poets Kate

Extract and Compress servicmenus missing from Konq
by Kate Draven 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

Hi people, Trying a new iso, boots fantastically fast, very smooth, no complaints. However, as the subject states, extract & compress are missing from konq's right click menu. Does anyone know where those servicemenus are located in the file sys. I can grab them from older iso and install them there. I have already check the usual suspects /opt/trinity/share/apps/konq/servicmenus and the like. Nothing. Any help is appreciated. There's mental chocolate in it for everyone. Kate

[trinity-users] remove lock session from menu?
by Felix Miata 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

Can it be done? If so, how? I never lock session on purpose. It's extremely irritating that it's placed there at all, much less right on top of log out. I try to log out, I put the pointer over log out, I click, and half the time the pointer moves as I click to selecting lock session instead of log out. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

write to disk errors.
by Gene Heskett 25 Jun '18

Greetings; One of the things I miss most is "focus follows mouse", but I've not found a place in the trinity-control-center to turn this on. Is such a function available, and if so, where do I enable it? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

can't install TDE on stretch, no release file in any tde repo for stretch
by Gene Heskett 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

So I tried setting it back to jessie, but all that got me was a sea of red or outright refusal to even mark it for install. Stretch has been out for quite a while, so whats the magic potion folks? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

restoring my thinkpad X200 to life
by dep 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

what a week. on thursday my corsair hx750 power supply up and died stone dead. i do not suppose i can blame it -- the power system here is awful, with frequent blackouts, generally preceded by a half dozen off-on cycles in quick succession. i have a biggish UPS between the mains power and the computer, but still . . . so until the replacement arrives -- remember when there was a computer store on every block? -- i am on my previously reliable thinkpad X200, which got a little flaky when i upgraded it to debian stretch a few weeks ago. i now have most everything working, the exception being wireless. the nice little switch on the side of the machine is turned on, but no light on the wifi led and wicd reports no wifi signals, though there is certainly a wifi signal,from a router about 3 feet away that every other gadget in the house recognizes just fine. lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net reports: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10f5] (rev 03) Subsystem: Lenovo 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection [17aa:20ee] Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e -- 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5350 AGN [Echo Peak] Network Connection [8086:423b] Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5350 AGN [Echo Peak] Network Connection [8086:1011] Kernel modules: iwlwifi 04:00.0 Memory controller [0580]: Intel Corporation Turbo Memory Controller [8086:444e] (rev 11) i suspect that i'm missing something really obvious. for lo, these many years, the thing just worked. now it doesn't. wired network works just fine. dep Sent withProtonMailSecure Email.

kdesktop error
by Oleg Levenets 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi, I'm getting a kdesktop boot error from time to time on my system: https://paste.ee/p/rfxYv I compile the tqt3 package with the options -pipe -g -ggdb3 -Og -fvisibility = hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden, unfortunately when I use the -O0 option this error does not manifest itself. Maybe you need some more technical data to solve my problem? best regards, Oleg Levenets.
