Emacs and Window Foreground
by Uwe Brauer 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hi I just compiled Emacs for Kubuntu 14..04 running trinity, while emacs runs without problems in KDE4 it fails for trinity the error message is: undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND" I swore I have seen this error before, and it was caused by some trinity package, deinstallation solved the problem, but I don't recall which one it was. Anybody has an idea? trinity without Emacs sucks thanks Uwe Brauer

install -f and where is the KControl center Mac X clone, in version 14
by Uwe Brauer 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi I it seems that a bold sudo apt-get install -f Solved most (but maybe not all problems with my trinity installation). Be it as it may, when I logged in to Trinity, almost everything felt similar, save one (for me) very important thing. In earlier Kubuntu (for example 10.04) and earlier trinity versions (TDE v3.5.13.2) there were *two* control center, - the ugly vanilla kde control center - and a I presume a Kubuntu specific Mac OSX clone. I attach a screenshot. Now in Kubuntu 14.04+ Trinity R14.0.3 I cannot find the MacOSX clone anymore. Where is it? Was it deleted, taken out? For me it was one of the reasons to stay with Trinity, to have both a familiar environment which does not need to much resources but which is comfortable enough when it come to configuration, the KDE vanilla control center is much worse in this respect. Thanks and regards Uwe Brauer

Another hibernate issue
by deloptes 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi all, there was/is a discussion about powersave features and options. I do not use it that often, but this week going to work with the train I decided to try it out and hibernated the notebook. It is Dell 5440. After power on all worked fine and it came up from hibernation. When the lock screen asked for password and I pressed some key it went again into hibernation state. The second time I powered on, I was able to unlock he screen and go on with my work. This was reproducable - I tried it twice the same behavior. How can this be debugged? regards

Auto fill - browser fields
by Jonesy 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Sometime long ago my konqueror stopped suggesting choices for filling in userid fields in web page login forms. I've poked around a lot, but cannot see how to (re)activate that. On the same topic: Is there a way to delete an inappropriate auto fill item? And, being greedy, does anyone know the same answers to these questions vis-a-vis Firefox and Chrome? Many thanks in advance! Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | Marvin | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | FreeBSD __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | OS/2 SK

new kaffeine plugin for firefox's
by Gene Heskett 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Greetings all; I can see that its installed and should be calling kaffeine to service a quite wide range of video formats. Unfortunately, while kaffeine is installed and runs for other digital than tv broadcast, neither firefox is actually calling it. So while I can see videos, some on cnn, and some on nbc news in firefox's postcard sized video, nothing that I have been able to add, will call up kaffeine to play a youtube video. If I launch a copy and have it running, it seems to me that firefox should pass the data stream to the running copy of kaffeine. But its not happening, no reaction from kaffeine can be obtained from either version of firefox. So I installed the gxine launcher plugin. Looks like an identical list of acceptable video formats to that of kaffeine. Is there an about:config option to be set so this works? What else do I need to check? Thanks.

Non-trivial switching
by J. Drahun 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

Hi all! I've found solution how to switch layouts with Ctrl+Shift. To be honest, it was sad to found that old "feature", requiring something more than click three checkboxes in the "Xkb Options" still exists. Why can't I set Ctrl+Shift in the TDE Control Center as a shortcut? (Ctrl+Shift shortcut is interpreted as Ctrl + ISO_Next_Group) Why it is necessary to edit config files? I hope someday this behaviour will be fixed. Best wishes, J. Drahun.

dcop is not a daemon?
by Gene Heskett 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Feature request: My mailwatcher script is calling dcop from the hard drive for every incoming mail, and my putting a set -x in the top of it, then watching the output trace, shows a quite large lag in its doing that. But I see no daemon launcher in /etc/init.d. It seems to me that if dcop were a memory resident process like dbus is, the HD would be spared that that access, and the response time would be 2% of what it is now. If this version of kmail in R14.0.4 can use a dbus feed too, that problem is solved by my changing one var in the top of my script. Does anyone know? I ask because if I switch it, and it doesn't work, the dbus buffer gets stuffed and it takes a reboot to fix that, a dbus restart doesn't seem to re-init it. BTDT, several times. Thanks.

I just lost 2 copies of an email that was a hair north of 15 megabytes
by Gene Heskett 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Greetings all; fetchmail's log shows it was pulled from both email servers I used. Handed off to procmail for delivery, it apparently was silently /dev/nulled by procmail. The only size limits in .procmailrc have to do with taking a maximum hit on spamassassin's kids. In the order in which its executed, this is the catcher recipe, which has worked for quite a bit of a decade now, and worked a couple days ago for a smaller picture: :0 *.*lrcrispy\(a)frontiernet\.net /var/spool/mail/gene And the only size limits are below that where it calls the spam checking: :0 * ^X-Spam-Status: { :0 fw | formail -R "X-Spam-Status:" "X-False-Spam-Status:" :0 fw | formail -A "X-Nasty: Aren't we?" } :0 * ^X-Spam-Level: { :0 fw | formail -R "X-Spam-Level" "X-False-Spam-Level" } :0 * ^X-Spam-Checker-Version: { :0 fw | formail -R "X-Spam-Checker-Version:" "X-False-Spam-Checker-Version:" } ############################################################################## # Rewrite Reply-To: for SpamAssassin users list ############################################################################## :0 * < 500000 * !^List-Id: .*(spamassassin\.apache.\org) { :0 fw: spamassassin.lock | /usr/bin/spamc -t 140 -u gene -d 127.0.0.1 } # Sometimes SpamAssassin fails to run. This forces the issue. :0 w * !^X-Spam-Checker-Version: * < 500000 * !^List-Id: .*(spamassassin\.apache\.org) * !^From: .FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@ { :0 fw: spamassassinFailed.lock | nice -n 1 /usr/bin/spamassassin } I am thinking I need a catcher below all his that puts anything that still exists in /var/spool/mail/gene so I can manually dispose of it? Is that how the rest of you are thinking, that there is no save option if it falls all the way thru to the last recipe above? It gets handed off to procmail as the MTA, and procmail normally logs the size, but there's nothing in that size category in the procmail.log. Leading me to think it fell all the way thru for some unk reason. Comments plz. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

qdbus vs kmail ??
by Gene Heskett 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Greetings to the tde-r14.0.4 kmail experts; One of the things that is rather glaringly not addressed in the docs on kmail that are easily read from a click on the help pulldown, is any info on how to control kmails functioning via dbus commands. I've been using dbus to send it a get new mail cmd for years, using a command line someone gave me: /usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.checkMail but since my sa-learn scripts also reach into kmail's database and move files once sa-learn (-ham or -spam) has done its thing, it would be easier on kmails sanity if I could send it a rebuild index command on the two directory's mucked with. man qdbus looks helpfull, but says that org.kde.kmail does not exist when I attempt to query it using the above command or variations of it. I would assume that $>/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail would return a whats available list, but doesn't. All I can get is: gene@coyote:~$ qdbus -service org.kde.kmail /KMail Service 'org.kde.kmail' does not exist. gene@coyote:~$ qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail Service 'org.kde.kmail' does not exist. gene@coyote:~$ qdbus org.kde.kmail Service 'org.kde.kmail' does not exist. And yet the first sample command above works and has been working since dcop was deprecated somewhere back up the timeline quite a few years ago. Is there such a doc someplace? Or am I miss-reading the qdbus man page. A simple qdbus[enter] returns only this: gene@coyote:~$ qdbus :1.0 org.kde.kcalc-6112 :1.1 org.xfce.Terminal4 :1.2 :1.3 org.gtk.vfs.Daemon :1.4 :1.6 org.freedesktop.DBus And yet a command sent to org.kde.kmail works a treat. So how is that command getting there, because it works, and has been working for years. Me goes off to Wallies to get some scripts that keep me tuned up as well as can be expected considering the accumulated mileage.
