Hi all!
I just run into another interesting thing that I do not know how to solve - and it's most likely not connected to TDE, but anyway:
Ages ago (~ 2004) there were a number of bitmap fonts available in debian. I remember epic fights to replace them with TTF fonts. Some days ago I tried to get bitmaped fonts into devuan - and failed miserably.
The situation on FreeBSD is this: bitmaped fonts (e.g. gamow_08_m_r.pcf.gz frim lfpfonts-fix) and ttf fonts (as any other fonts) coexist perfectly well in X11. In any application (TDE/OpenSCAD/Scintilla/Terminator/... ) I can select e.g. "Gamow". The font "Gamow" comes from the "Linux Font Project", so I suspected it's present on devuan as well.
Now the situation on devuan is quite different: There are only some bitmap fonts available, none of these are selectable in X11 for TDE/OpenSCAD/Scintilla/Terminator/... - but I can see them with "xfontsel". Also it seams that the "Linux Font Project"-fonts are not in the archives anymore.
I tried to add "gamow_08_m_r.pcf.gz" by hand using TDE, but the font installation failed. I tried to install it by copying the font to ~/.fonts, but the font does not show up. "mkfontdir" in ~/.fonts creates a fonts.dir with the entry "gamow_08_m_r.pcf.gz -lfp-gamow-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75--80-iso8859-1", but the only X11 application that sees this font is "xfontsel".
So, is there a way to get bitmaped fonts back?

Hi all!
I'm using FVWM togather with TDE applications on FreeBSD. Things work quite nice for some months now (thanks Slavec!). There is just one thing I could not figure out:
When starting a full TDE session with "starttde", then klicking on a *.pdf in kmail starts kpdf. "kcontrol" start with all modules.
When I start kmail without "starttde" - from xterm under fvwm for example - then klicking on a *.pdf in kmail results in a dialog popping up ("What application ..."). "kcontrol" starts with an empty splitscreen window, no modules visible.
I took a look into tdeinit, but I obviousely missed a vital part. This is what I tried:
$ TDE_FULL_SESSION=false
$ TDEHOME=$HOME/.trinity
$ TDEROOTHOME=/root/.trinity
$ TDE_SESSION_UID=$UID
$ TDE_MULTIHEAD=false
$ TDEDIR=/opt/trinity
$ tdeinit_shutdown
$ tdeinit
$ kmail
Now there is something missing, as klicking on a *.pdf does not open kpdf. When I start "starttde" with fvwm running, then the whole tde session is restored including panels, kdesktop etc., which is what I do not want in this environment.
So, any idea what I could do to get kmail working whithout "starttde"?

Since upgrade from tde 3.5.13 (ubuntu 12.04) to 14.0.4 (ubuntu 16.04) I get the attached error message when printing from kmail or from the ps/pdf viewer.
It looks like a misinterpreted linefeed after the mime type.:
application/postscript\012- \012-application/octed-stream
somewhere in the config files or in the tde printer driver.
Ignoring the error prints the file, but preview is not possible.
The print system is cups.
Is this an known error?
Thanks in advance

When I run:
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
to install TDE on my 64-bit stretch system, some of the things I see are
sufficiently concerning that I don't want to go ahead and allow the
installation without further guidance and confirmation that I'm not about to
break something important.
The output is:
----
[HN:apt] sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
The following NEW packages will be installed:
<lots of new packages>
but then:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
chromium-inspector{u} libgsoap5{u} libwebp5{u} libwebpdemux1{u}
virtualbox-dkms{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
libart-2.0-2
1 packages upgraded, 328 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 222 MB/225 MB of archives. After unpacking 593 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
desktop-base-trinity : Conflicts: desktop-base but 9.0.2 is installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) desktop-base [9.0.2 (now, stable)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
----
So:
1. Looking at the packages that will be removed, will I still be able to run
virtualbox if virtualbox-dkms is removed? [I think that the answer is yes, but
I would like some assurance from someone who is more certain than am I.]
2. And then what about desktop-base? The version that is currently installed
is from the official debian stable repository, so I don't think that I should
be removing it. So what should I do about this conflict?

[*] Anyone who has tried to use the KDE 5 that is included with stretch will
know why I've finally given up on the KDE death-spiral and want to get back to
something that works properly. I would have been here long ago if TDE were an
official part of debian, but KDE 5 is so painful and bug-ridden that I am now
forced to overcome my deep-rooted distrust of software that is not in the
official debian repositories.

Probably worth sharing on the user ML as well for future reference, although R14.1.0 won't be out soon...

Subject: R14.1.x new Kate session panel
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:29:11 +0900
From: Michele Calgaro <michele.calgaro(a)yahoo.it>
To: TDE devel <trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net>
Dear all,
I have finally come around to push the new Kate session panel code to R14.1.x trunk. This adds a session panel to Kate
to easy and enhance working with sessions. I have been using it for a couple of years, while slowly developing it.
In future I envision more functionality added to it, although finding the time to develop that could be a serious challenge.
Just three things to look out for:
1) the format of Kate's session files has changed, the new code will import all your session files and save them with
some differences. So if you are just planning to test the new code to see how it works and then revert to an older
version, it is recommended that you make a backup of your session files before you start and you restore them at the end
of the process
2) with the new code, the "default" session is no longer hardcoded. You can rename it, delete it or do whatever you want.
3) a "read-only session" is a session where you can do whatever editing you want (and all the editing will be saved!).
But when you close Kate or switch to another session, the session file will not be modified and the next time the
session will open with the same GUI-state (same open files, same panel positions and so on...).
If you run into any problem, just report to the ML or preferably open a bug report in bugszilla.
Cheers
Michele
Greetings,
I am using EXE-Linux and having a problem installing my Brother HL-2135
printer. Using other distros I have had no problems, other than resorting to
using the driver for the 2170W model sometimes.
When I select any of the drivers offerered in the 21 series of printer in
TDEPrint I get the following message:
"Unable to find the executable foomatic datafile in your PATH. Check that
Foomatic is correctly installed".
Can anyone help please.

Hi,
I updated a jessie machine to stretch, but tdm did not start, because
there is not start skript in /etc/init.d.
So I looked into the debian package and found out, that there is only a
systemd-skript, but my computer starts with sys-V. Could the update
skript keeps this situation in mind - i.e. is this a bug or a feature.
Fine regards
Rolf
