to test some of the things offered here the last couple of days i just now tried on my testbed thinkpad laptop to upgrade from ubuntu-14.04 to 16.04 by changinf all the references in sources.list from "trusty" to "xenial." then did an apt-get dist-upgrade.
the result isn't pretty. in fact, it won't even boot, though it makes an heroic effort.
i figured that inasmuch as i'm going to have to do something fairly drastic now anyway, i'd switch to a current debian with tde -- having extra desktops around is just annoying. but looking on the liveCDs page i see ubuntu and PCLOS and some others, but no debian.
does anyone here know of current debian-tde live CDs anyplace?
thanks!

Hi, I have two questions.
First: how can I enable scrolling text in tde console using the mouse
wheel? I did not find the necessary parameters in the configuration.
The second question: I would like to change the display of the date
and time in the system tray. By default, the left is the time, on the
right is the date, how can I change their places
best regards, Oleg Levenets.
It seems that markdown has become the new darling of the technical writers.
Is there a markup parser that's compatible with Konqueror? Would it have to
be written in JavaScript, or can other languages be made to work? I see that
the original markdown parser was written in perl.
If there is such an animal that will work with Konqueror, how does one
install it?

okay, let's take it from the top. i ran kde from the last beta before kde 1.0, almost 20 years ago. beginning with 4.0, the kde project went in my estimation all flaky, so i stuck with 3.5.x until i was happy to learn of tde, which i have used since then in its verious versions. i am currently running tde 14.0.5 atop ubuntu 14.04.

i'm glad you have kmail working as you like. i do, too.
|What does this protonmail do that makes it so much more desirable?
it's not either/or. protonmail is a secure mail service, not a mail client. you can learn about it if you like at protonmail.com. thing is, access to protonmail in linux is currently via a secure web interface (or an unofficial desktop app that is really a secure browser dedicated to protonmail). for windows and mac there is a thing called protonmail bridge. it encrypts the mail on the local machine before sending it, and decrypts it upon receipt, allowing more traditional mail clients to send and receive mail through protonmail. there is currently a beta, available only from protonmail, of the bridge for linux. that is what i am trying to install, so i can continue to use kmail, as i have for nearly two decades.
part of the reason for this is a change of the terms of use by my isp a week ago, wherein they announced that they would be combing through my email, pictures, and everything else in search of things useful to them. as a reporter and photographer for a living, i found this unacceptable. hence protonmail and hence my desire to make it work with kmail.

not necessarily. while two-factor authentication is offered, it is not required.
|But what I miss in kamil+PGPG is an encrypted mail-subject, e.g "Subject: [trinity-users]
| Re: more re. tde and qt5" beeing replaced by a random string, which gets replaced on the
| receiver side with an embedded subject from within the encrypted mail. Reason is, that a
| lot of users use a subject that tells a lot about the mail content, at least enough to let it be
| sorted in "interesting" or "junk".
that's the point, and why setting it up to work with kmail requires an intervening application, the protonmail bridge. normally one would use the protonmail web interface -- essentially webmail -- which is entirely encrypted, or a special application that seems to be little more than a one-site secure browser connected to the protonmail site. (for linux: https://github.com/protonmail-desktop/application)
but to use it with kmail or another mail client one needs to employ the bridge application, which encrypts before sending and decrypts upon receipt, on which a regular mail client can be hitched. (details here:https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/third-party-email-client…)
in each case, as i understand it absolutely everything is encrypted: subject, sender, recipient, the works.
the advantage to two-factor encryption in the service is of course added security should someone learn or guess your password but also the service's claim that with two-factor authentication not even the owners of protonmail can read your mail.
i should mention that they offer a free version, which gives you a protonmail.com email address and limits your storage to 500 mb and each user to 150 email messages per day. though some features -- using your own domain, use of protonmail bridge -- are restricted to paid accounts, the cheapest of which is € 48.00 per year.
and i think i've carried the forum terribly off-topic. i am not, btw, a protonmail salesman!

asked Gene Heskett:
|Silly Q: do they do mailing lists?
i don't think so, but i don't know with certainty.
|And how much per annum do they want for a paid service?
i'm paying $48/year, but that's because i wanted to bring a domain (drippingwithirony.com) along. they have more expensive services, typically i'd guess for businesses.
it's worth knowing that end-to-end encryption requires the person on the other end to be a protonmail user as well. for anyone else, they encrypt it from desktop to them, and on their servers. they're in switzerland, which has pretty stringent privacy laws. they also offer a vpn, which i'm considering, though the fast ones are substantially more than their mail service.
though for now i'm content to get protonmail bridge installed and playing nicely with kmail.

alas, no, frontier dsl is the only game in my neck of -- literally -- the woods. there's not even cellular service here, though at home i can get tmobile cell over ip. as to copyright, that's not the issue. people i'm writing about and who are giving me information sometimes communicate via email and they would like that communication to be confidential.
frontier has always farmed its email service out to yahoo, which is frightening enough. but last year the email part of the rotting remains of yahoo was bought up by a consortium of what's left of aol and verizon to create something called "oath." last week they sent new terms of use, in part:
-- We’ve updated how we collect and use data. We’ve updated some of the ways we collect and analyze user data in order to deliver services, content, and relevant advertising to you and protect against abuse. This includes:
--Analyzing content and information (including emails, instant messages, posts, photos, attachments, and other communications) when you use our services. This allows us to deliver, personalize and develop relevant features, content, advertising and services
-- Linking your activity on third-party sites and apps with information we have about you
Providing anonymized and aggregated reports to other parties regarding user trends
-- We’ve joined Verizon. By joining Verizon, Oath and its affiliates may share the information we receive among Verizon. Learn more about Verizon’s privacy practices.
dont you just love that "protect against abuse" part? that's the same company that managed to let the information on a *billion* users get loose not long ago. no, thanks.
so protonmail is essential. making it work with kmail is to cause my life to be nicer.
