making a bootable usb stick
by dep 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

what ought to be a simple task has turned into a huge headache. the idea of a cool linux tablet being postponed, i thought i'd maybe update an old acer aspire one netbook i had in a closet. it was last booted, to kubuntu running a 2.6 kernel and kde-3.5.10, sometime in 2010. in that it has a 1.6 mHz chip and a gig of memory on a 120-gig drive, it seemed a good machine for a Q4OS experiment. (the experiment part being whether i can keep my kde settings -- i have never enjoyed reconfiguring.) so i d/led the .iso for the current stable Q4OS, no problem. it's getting it onto a USB stick that's killing me. reason is, when i insert the USB drive, it automounts and refuses to unmount, and one apparently cannot make a bootable disk onto a mounted drive. i've tried a couple of programs in hope of burning the bootable stick -- the ubuntu startup disk creator and something called unetbootin. they both blow up, apparently because the stick is mounted. the little icon for the usb stick that appears at the top left of my monitor has the green line saying it's mounted. i right click and click "unmount" and either nothing happens or the green line disappears only to reappear soon thereafter. and if i try to umount it, i'm told it's busy. in my younger days one or more pieces of equipment would by now have flown across the room and smashed into the far wall, but i'm older and calmer now. so it is merely driving me insane. there's got to be a way to get the image onto the usb drive and make it bootable, but i'm damned if i can find it, with automount confounding me at every turn. (i'm not interested in turning off automount forever -- i'm a photographer and not having to manually mount sd cards is a wonderful thing.) anybody here have any ideas? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

kMail & Distribution lists
by Thierry de Coulon 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello all, I'm probably in a very bad day, but I'd like to create a distribution list in kAddressBook and I fail to understand how. I have my addresses and I click "add distribution list". I get a dialog box where I can give the list a name, and an entry field labeled "Distribution List Members". What are we supposed to input there? I tried copy/paste but it only sort of pastes the first address. Select and drop does not work. kAddressBook's help does not help here either. I suppose (I hope) that there *is* a way to create a distribution list from selected addresses in teh address book, otherwise it is not really useful... What am I missing?

Session manager logout
by Decarraig 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

I can't find any option to configure the graphic on the the session manager logout dialogue . I've checked the help documentation and the FAQ on the wiki . I have found the session manager options in the control centre / components but only things like the default selection etc can be configured there. I dislike the rather gothic iconography on the logout screen in particular - does anyone know where the graphic on the logout screen is sourced from ? Padraig

SOLVED: making a bootable usb stick
by dep 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

as is, it seems, always the way, i went back to the right-click menu on the mounted usb stick and found deep inside a box i could uncheck which when unchecked undoes automount. whereupon a simple command line trick: sudo dd bs=4M if=q4os-2.4-i686pae.r2.iso of=/dev/sde solved the problem. so off we go into the exciting world of Q4OS. pray for me. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Konqueror, kedit and remote files
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello, I modify my Web files directly remotely on my server on Konqueror, with sftp:// and kedit. The files are open remotely in the folder "/var/www/..." with sftp. After closing the files, they are modified directly on the server. It works fine. Excepted with the files.jsp : They are not open on the server remotely in "/var/www", but on the hard disk of my PC in the folder : "/home/andre/.trinity/cache.../krun/..." So, after modifications, I close the file and after I have to send the files.jsp from "/home/andre/.trinity/cache/krun/" on the server, into /var/www/... It's not automatic and direct, as the files.php. Why this difference between files.php and files.jsp ? (the both are text files) and how to correct it ? JSP and PHP files have the same rights and owners : 775 and www-data. Thanks, André

atsd-crash

Hi, I reported a crash of artsd in debian stretch before, but no real solution was given. I will try to ask again, now with a backtrace from the crash-manager (with symbols) attached. I hope this can help some one (perhaps Slàvek) to find my problem. Many thanks Rolf

Hi! I have just installed Debian 9 and, following the wiki, tried to install tinity, but when I run apt-get update (or apt update), I get: ---- Err:8 http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch/deps-r14 Sources 403 Forbidden [...] Reading package lists... Done W: The repository 'http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch Release' does not have a Release file. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. E: Failed to fetch http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/stretch/deps-r14/source/Sources 403 Forbidden E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. ---- I tried to access to http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb with firefox, and I get a "Forbidden" error. Are there any mirrors I can use? Thanks in advance, -- Diego.

Installing TDE on Debian stretch
by Decarraig 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi all, Having tried out Q4OS I am interested in trying the "pure" TDE on Debian stretch. I have read the Wiki instructions on how to do so. I don't want to duplicate programs from another DE when I add TDE. Is there a best option for a pre-existing DE on Debian when adding the TDE so as to avoid duplication etc ?
