a bit of a stunt
by dep 23 May '18

23 May '18

in part to see if it could be done and in part because i hoped the result would be useful, today i installed microsoft word 5.5 (which is a free download from microsoft) on the little gemini device and got it running in dosbox over lxqt over debian stretch on an arm64 device. (keyboard mapping is the current sticking point, and unless i can get it full screen i'm not sure it is worth the effort. and yes, i noticed the misspelling in the screenshot). https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35015&pid=286127&st=0&#entry… -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

IBus input with TDE applications
by Jan Stolarek 22 May '18

22 May '18

Dear TDE users, is there a way to use IBus as the input method for TDE applications? I have installed and configured IBus on my system. It works fine with GTK and QT4 applications but I can't get it to work with TDE applications (which, I believe are QT3 applications). So for example, I can input japanese hiragana or korean hangul in Firefox or Libre Office, but I can't do the same in KMail. All help appreciated.

[ Re-send ] Explaining the process of adding bugs to next TDE release
by Michele Calgaro 22 May '18

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear all, re-sending without autocrypt option. There has been some reports of problems with SPAM filters discarding the previous email. If you already received the first message yesterday, please ignore this one and accept our apologies for the double sending. If you didn't get the original email, please read below. Cheers Michele, Slavek - -------------------- Dear all, we would like to explain the process of how bug reports get added to the next release bug list. As many of you probably know, there are some bug reports (that we call meta bugs) that serve as an index for bugs to fix or already fixed for the next maintenance and minor release. For example bug 2247 for R14.1.0, bug 2696 for R14.0.5 and bug 2885 for R14.0.6. These meta bugs are intended to list bugs that have been selected by the developers for the mentioned coming release, so we would like to invite all of you to refrain from directly adding bugs to those lists on your own. Instead you should first discuss with one of the developers (say Tim, Slavek or Michele) and if agreed, you can then add the bug to the discussed list. The reason for this logic (and limitation) is that if anyone just add bugs indiscriminately based on their own needs, those lists would grow out of control and out of what is physically possible to achieve with the development workforce that TDE has at the moment. We encourage all of you to participate in making TDE better, but please take note of the above procedure and try sticking to it as much as possible. On a side note, R14.0.5 bug list has been frozen and no other bugs will go into it unless critical of blockers. Of course, if a working patch is provided before the release of R14.0.5, we will consider that for inclusion. Feel free to provide your feedback on the process explain above Cheers Michele, Slavek -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEjhl1z5vbYB3YbFTiKnW3yore1c8FAlsD2uwACgkQKnW3yore 1c9tjw/9GTvzkZULvstj5VBBWjdJgfbkFQ+hDq8c7cRleKDqDwwK89uSdWshe6G7 VU5fwH82CScdF4itYr8GxZvwmZPcLtPvy83WLsEPL4pvC8oNoUZtHkqNniL8CP14 wfiUZcFuQvMa251i2KP0a1QBREd8xJhbj09obfz8YFa9sRQq0cauMgMDqxVOR+6U 0MU8CgTNplh49XWAjX9e5upwsgvqEb58e53h0XsYOn9aM+tvUOnCaKA83eIlICUe R6qt5807sKPbd2fXlpSNmtprPllwo/OKse/KUrCq0a3hifG64xapwub/S+ylGFpf Q2RfHxvKVUnSOyElNe7wYYjVhBv5qCcGO4mE7uR8TwsN3ta2vL226aw5rNv8Oarb nNKrjBO5Ey3F4wxhFI5ZNOmQqU6eqSvqwiT2lN2nVZ0CCuXGDScXcHo8gLM3j6la 9hSE/R8KouLtef2NyrFB1ObWtn2p4geAbQKVTyr9sQyS2K07Fyub2qeamdJeOyEV 1HtCzK+ot3QwD+jrTfQEigJGUitW4DPfy6iVLHBJz+B5kkOspYJq8Ks9EQh/Zya0 BNRKpqettm6RlOchuNHa7NWuPOyQUyyPnBI371+EsBAohZdgm0Nuis9RYVnoXII0 YO9F31g8dfY9rCTJ9CkFV4GpA6879uswTcxEf/AEod/m4ZdhnR8= =lSLn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

a miracle has happened!
by dep 22 May '18

22 May '18

the final part of my upgrade saga was installation of new nvidia drivers, which has in the past taken at least two days and required anguish, blood sacrifices to unknown demons, and angry outburts at anyone who encounters me. but i just now installed the nvisia drivers for ubuntu-16.04 and they . . . just worked! (the act of writing my particular configuration, primaty monitor below secondary monitor, won't write to the x.org configuration file, so i have to redo it on every reboot, but that's as it has always been.) now if i could cook up the mouse cursor i've wanted ever since i switched from OS/2 to linux. there was an OS/2 utility that allowed one to write one's own mouse (and other) cursors, and i got it and used it and loved it because it was possible to make a pointer arrow that was the reverse of whatever it was over -- black on white, white on black, blue on red, etc., to the point of even being half one color and half the other when it rested on an edge. this made it manifestly visible, always. linux has nothing to match it and i intend to undertake a course of study that will result in its being replicated for linux. i'll send postcards. -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

still haven't fixed artsd -- what package is it in, that i might try to reinstall or something? -- but i am writing this on trinity's kmail, through the protonmail bridge, which encrypts it and sends it down the pipe to their server, which sends it out in whatever form the list receives it. which i suspect is a first. a minor first to be sure, but a first. -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.
