TDE opens "Removable Device" notifier twice
by Gerhard Zintel 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hi list, I'm on TDE R14.0.4, Mint 18 installation. If I insert any USB memory stick I get two icons on the desktop and two pop-up windows notifying me "a new medium has been detected". E.g. one icon gives hint "/dev/sdd", the other one "/dev/sdd1". One of both mounts device, the other one states "unable to open device" even if I press it first. The correct message is: ========= snip =============== Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem' on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sdd ========= snip =============== Anyone any idea where to look for this problem? Even an USB printer opens a notifier window asking what to do with the removable device. I already moved away the .trinity folder and logged in again without success. Any help is appreciated Gerhard PS: I could try to chose 'do nothing' and check the 'always do this for this type of media' checkbox for the non working device but I fear, that afterwards even the correct working notification will not display any longer.

I'm on TDE 14.0.4 release on Linux Mint. Mittle button paste forks from Libre Office to Kmail and vice versa without problems. I can remember that I sometime faced the problem that it did not work though. Gerhard

konqueror: "Block images from this site"
by Marvin Jones 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Well, I screwed up and clicked this option in error after right-clicking on an image (planning instead to click "View Image.) And, it just happened to be ONE OF MY OWN WEB SITES! sigh... Well, no problem, right? I just go into one of the menu dropdowns, select the appropriate function. and delete the web site from the list (which otherwise should be totally empty anyway.) No joy. No such dropdown --> function that gets me there. konqueror 3.5.10 trinity 3.5.13.3 In doing a web search, I believe what I want is Tools --> Manage Images ... or the somesuch. However I have _NO_ Tools --> Manage Images. My Tools dropdown contains Find file ... <<-greyed out HTML Settings Minitools Translate web page Archive web page Change browser identification I can find no way to "Manage Images" in konqueror Ok. Then I need to hack some .cfg or .rc file I suppose. Which file ... where? (Doing a recursive grep did not reveal any such file.) (Or else, my grep-fu is inadequate.) (I guess I could change my domain name ... :-) Many thanks in advance! Jonesy

clipboard behavior
by dep 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

there's no doubt someplace this can be set, but i can't find it: just now i sought to copy some text from kmail to a libreoffice document. before the recent upgrade i would just select text in any application, pick a place in any other application, right click, and voila, it would be pasted. but no more. i can of course do this among tde applications, but not going to or coming from other applications, such as firefox and libreoffice. i can still right click on the selection, choose copy, then go to the document i'm working on and select paste, and it works. but that interrupts the flow. does anyone know what i need to do to restore the previous behavior? thanks! -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Looking for someone to help test Kgpg
by deloptes 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hi users, I am looking for someone to help me test kgpg and help us make it gnupg2 capable but also gnupg<2 compatible. This means test under stretch and jessie. Advantage would be to can patch and build as it would speed up process. I started updating piece by pice few weeks ago, but it turned out that some things changed significantly with the new version of gnupg and I can not do all the work myself. I was thinking may be someone can help test and document the test cases, so that we can reproduce or write testing code in future. example Test case 1 : sign single key Step 1 import a key Step 2 right click on the key imported Step 3a: password prompt Step 3b: (dialog pop up) select sign option Step 4 press continue Step 5 select secret key and press ok Expected result: key signed and icon turns green Actual result: key signed Pass/Fail: fail Comments: key was signed but icon did not turn green I don't have the time to go through every single case, I already fixed the main part like displaying the keys, uids and signatures already, importing and also the keyserver and just finished the sign use case. Now I would do the revoke case next and would pass the code for testing to someone as I think a full regression is needed. I think it should be doable in 10-20h. Let me know if interested. regards

I'm also suffering a tiny fonts problem on an Asus Ux330u with an QHD screen. the fonts on the taskbar (kicker) and the font on the menu window of Trinity Control Center' are miniscule as are fonts on applications like LibreOffice, GIMP, Pan, etc. as far as I can tell, it affects all apps, whether Gnome or KDE. the thing also boots to Gnome (Gnome or so-called Debian Desktop Environment and Cinnamon) and to Windows 10, no problem with fonts. if I were only sure which config files to steal from Gnome! xdpyinfo |grep -B2 resolution --> dimensions: 3200x1800 pixels (846x476 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch I've tried various settings in fonts enabling and disabling dpi. does seem to do best with Enabled 120 DPI using exegnu version. advice please. (week ago posted about overcoming UEFI; got that under control.) f. -- Felmon Davis The bug starts here.

Status of klaptop
by Thierry de Coulon 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Hello all, Klaptop is no more working on my laptop with newer distributions. Both suspend and hibernate just lock. I guess that acpi is no more accessed the same way. On Debian 9 I was able to use s2ram and s2disk, but could not test anything under TDE because I could not access teh repositories to install. The latest SUSE does not have these utilities anymore, it uses systemctl instead. I was able to get Klaptop to work by replacing /opt/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper with a script running systemctl suspend. Seems to work so far but it's rather a hack. Shouldn't klaptop be brought to an up-to-date level? Or provide some way of editing the suspend/hibernate commands depending on the machine? Would this be a big task? Thierry

I am under Ubuntu 14.04 and TDE 14.04 too. This Ubuntu Advantage is not installed on my system so I assume it is not required. However I installed TDE from the live TDE image so I did not installed Ubuntu separately. I think it is safe to remove completely this Ubuntu Advantage but it is your choice...

Hi, To see what is this "Ubuntu Advantage" you can go there: https://buy.ubuntu.com/ and see if you need this thing or not...

two more slightly on-topic questions
by dep 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

greetings, everyone . . . for ages now i've seen the little icon on my toolbar that informs me there are updates to ge gotten and have promptly gotten them. but now, since the upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, i'm also getting annoying, microsoft-like popups having to do with "system problem" and such. they inquire as to whether i want to report it and i say okay, sure, and click on the box, whereupon a web browser opens and tells me there's no site at the link specified. i'd like to be rid of the whole thing. i'm perfectly happy with the adept updater (even though i open a terminal for the update/upgrade). now today i see that among the updates is something called ubuntu advantage tools. i do not know what this is, but it also strikes me as something i do not want. so, then, my questions are: how do i get rid of the new pop-up upgrade nonsense? and is it safe to remove "ubuntu advantage tools"? (it seems like one of those things that should i do a purge would remove other things that i don't want rid of.) thanks for any advice you may have. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
