by Gene Heskett 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

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.

HP Machine

Hi Guys, Thank you for your comments. Glen, I did eventually find that info you mentioned. I also discovered from the HP web site, that the same machine comes in a lot of variants. There is little information to identify which has what in terms of main boards, graphics cards, sound cards etc. I managed to contact the dealer just before they shut up shop for the weekend and asked them to supply the exact specifications for the model that I'm interested in. They have promised to get back to me... Will report further. Thanks all. -- Best Regards: Baron

If it uses proprietary drivers, uninstall and reinstall. I have the same printer, sometimes farts up and need to do the above. Kate

compilation errors with clang
by Oleg Levenets 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

Hi, maybe someone can help? I decided to create a git-version of trinity for my slackware, but several packages do not want to be compiled. First package k9copy: ../../libk9copy/k9config.cpp:82:72: [0;1;31merror: taking the address of a temporary object of type 'TQColor' [-Waddress-of-temporary] ...&TQColor(TQt::yellow)); [0;1;32m ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../libk9copy/k9config.cpp:83:68: [0;1;31merror: taking the address of a temporary object of type 'TQColor' [-Waddress-of-temporary] ...&TQColor(TQt::yellow)); Second soundkoverter: In file included from ../../../../src/metadata/rmff/taglib_realmediafile.cpp:37: ../../../../src/metadata/rmff/rmff.h:253:21: error: cannot define or redeclare ' 'RealMedia' does not enclose namespace 'TagLib' class TagLib::AudioProperties; these packages are normally compiled with gcc, but do not want to work with clang. I will be grateful for help in solving the problem! best regards, Oleg Levenets.

Disabling USB hard drive auto mount
by Kate Draven 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi people (and others) I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to disable the auto mount function for usb hard drives. Every time I connect a HD via a usb HD dock. It auto mounts the drive. Is there anyway to stop this? I think it's udisksd or something. Google was useless regarding how to disable it. I'm asking PCLinuxOS people but I expect I'll get an answer here faster. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kate

why consolekit & policykit & elogind?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi all! This question might be a bit OT (and probably totally useless for the systemd-fraction), but ... what is the purpose of need consolekit & policykit & elogind ? I observed consolekit creating hordes of children, resulting in ~ 5% cpu usage. I deleted consolekit & policykit & elogind, restarted the system and found everything still working perfectly. So, what are these good for? Is TDE depending on these in any way? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

But it's KDE's (now TDE) power that keeps me to distros that run it. Honestly if TDE were on slackware, that's where I'd go. Me next choice would be Debian were it not for systemD, I don't trust it (gut feeling). Then any RPM distro like pclos. The only problem I'm having with pclos is this automount thing. I have been able to confirm it's udisks2 that's automounting the drives. No matter what setting I use. With all that being said. I truly appreciate all the input (INPUT! points to anyone who can name the film). Keep it coming. Kate
