magic Kate warnings
by Leslie Turriff 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Just out of curiosity, I wonder why, when I start Kate from Konsole, I see these? $ kate wkhtml2pdf.help , 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' pw8, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' `z>, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' /etc/magic, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' x'�E�, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' /etc/magic, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' /etc/magic, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/trinity/magic/hk_classes.magic' /etc/trinity/magic/hk_classes.magic, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/magic' /etc/magic, 3: Warning: using regular magic file `/etc/trinity/magic/hk_classes.magic' Leslie

q4os implementation of TDE
by Thierry de Coulon 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

I've been experimenting with q4os. I've installed the pi version on my pi 3, and tody the direct installation version on a desktop (I have not yet tested the "live CD", that is supposed to let you choose where to install grub, and maybe also other things. While the system is fast, debian based and one of the only distributions I know to bring TDE directly, I found the implementation, well, let's say it could be better: - beside being called "q4os-desktop", it depends on tdesu. It took me some time to find how to get it to use tdesu instead, and I am not sure everything works. - But mainly, lots of things are missing. I had to basically install / reinstall everything with "trinity" to get some (to me) important configuration stuff. Out of the boy one could neither change the icon set, nor the window decoration. Other TDE control center elements were missing, such as the login manager. I have nothing against having to run synaptic, but I *knew* that it was possible to setup things. I know at least one man I directed to q4os (because he needed a system to run on an older notebook). He did not know TDE (nor KDE 3 I guess). q4os may introduce more people to TDE, and they will just get the feeling that TDE can't be changed the way they like. Shouldn't Trinity tell q4os to at least *tell* the users that the UI has been cropped and the way to get back all the functionality?

I then "opened" > from within kate "Default session" (the only one in the list) I didn't have this issue because I had Kate configured to save sessions on exit. I can confirm that manually saving the default session (when it is the only session) can only be done after selecting it from the Sessions menu.

Hi Uwe, I am from Canada (Québec) and I had the same problem: no way to enter my province (QC) since it is not in the list. So I selected the first value (do not even remember what it was) and it passed! I was then able to finish my donation. It looks like there is no validation on this field... Hope this helps.

[trinity-users] New Exe GNU/Linux (Devuan + TDE) Live Images
by David Hare 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

New live-images for i386 and amd64 are now available: http://exegnulinux.net/downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/exegnulinux/ The exegnulinux.net download page will redirect to sourceforge.net where the ISO's (<700MB) are currently hosted. These ISO's use a Devuan base. The only current mainstream Debian+TDE live images now appear to be q4os. I wish to continue to support TDE but at this point, not systemd. Officially, Devuan is still "beta" but I can't fault it's stability. Thanks to Timothy and all from the TDE dev team, without you this could not be done. Please note, this is not an "official" TDE (nor Devuan) project. Also, please, don't use this thread for general systemd debate. David

Okay, I tried this, but it's not working for me. Here's what I did and what happened: 1) I renamed ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate to ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate~ 2) I started kate (using its icon), then closed it. kate created a new apps directory, with an empty sessions subdirectory. 3) I restarted kate and it still shows the sidebar with the file names. 4) I tried creating and saving a dummy file to make kate create a session, but its sessions subdirectory remains empty. :-( On 2016-12-17 09:16:20 Stefan Krusche wrote: > After a little experimenting I found this workaround: > > 1) Start with pristine kate config dir > > cp ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate{,orig} > > 2) Open kate with no arguments and close it > > 3) Open ~/.trinity/share/apps/kate/sessions/default.session with an editor > and change these options to "false" and save file. > Kate-MDI-Sidebar-Visible=false > Kate-MDI-ToolView-kate_filelist-Visible=false > > 4) Next time you open kate it will neither show the side bar nor the > document list.

The Tool View settings, for the session that you open Kate with, will be used for all sessions that you open using the Session menu. If you don't change all saved sessions, things can get weird. If you start with a changed session, all sessions will appear changed. If you start with an unchanged session, none will appear changed.

You'll get that if your view profile was saved when using tree view.

How to change the default Konqueror file-manager view mode to Tree?
by Leslie Turriff 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

I use Konqueror for preference for all of my GUI file management tasks. Every time I open a new tab for a different directory tree it defaults to 'Icon View', and I have to change it (again). Is there a way to tell Konqueror to open a tab with 'Tree View' instead? Leslie
