Meaning of CrystalSVG folder-with-plug icon ?

by Nick Leverton

I'm running Slavek's very excellent TDE 14.0.1-pre on Debian Jessie, and I use the TDE CrystalSVG icon set. I recently noticed an unusual icon on one of my folders. It could have been like this for a while as I don't often use this folder, but can anyone tell me what the "plug" icon in the following screenshot signifies, please ? http://www.leverton.org/temp/TDE%20folder-with-plug%20icon.png I have checked in Properties that it hasn't been manually set to this. It hasn't, and I can't see a "plug" icon or overlay anyway. The folder has the same filesystem attributes, extended attributes and user attributes as its siblings, so I think it must be some property only known to TDE that's causing the plug overlay to be added. It's no problem to me, but I'm curious to know what property that might be. Nick -- "The Internet, a sort of ersatz counterfeit of real life" -- Janet Street-Porter, BBC2, 19th March 1996

start tde-trinity by the startx command

by andre_debian＠numericable.fr

Hello, I like this old method of starting the graphic Desktop, by booting Linux to the the konsole text mode, reaching to the login and password as user : $ startx [entry] but I fall on a black screen or I receive an error message, that X server cannot be launched. Which informations do I have to type in my /home/<user>/.xinitrc, to boot directly on TDE ? Which informations do I have to add in others file ? Good evening for the west european people, and have a good day for the others. André

Summer news hole filler ... or: what I miss on FreeBSD :-)

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! As it is indeed quite quiet on the mailinglist I thought I might share my 4 months of FreeBSD Desktop here :-) What I especially like on *BSD is that there are no surprises. Things simply work as doctumented. There is valid documentation and a handbook that covers almost all things you'd want to know. But if an application is not in ports, things get ugly. And that's the down side of FreeBSD: no TDE. In quest for a usable desktop environment I went over GNOME (argh! Now I know again why I hate it) over XFCE (too gnomish) to LXDE (too windows like) and KDE4 (yes, that was a rainy day full of desperation. Just like visiting a home-improvement market: you almost get what you need, but in the end of the day you've spent a lot of time and mony and didn't get the job done). Days got better after purging these nice DEs: openbox was an improvement but in the end FVWM came and stayed. Now my FVWM looks quite simillar to my TDE setup on wheezy :-) But there are some things that I cannot quite replace: kmail: the one and only mailclient that has a working maildir implementation and usable GUI. This is the one and only application I did not find a usable replacement for. kpdf: slim, working PDF viewer. I've also tried mupdf (very good and fast, but I cannot mark and copy text), epdfviewer (ok, but quite broken copy function, hangs on pdfs with big images), okular (slow like a slug, pulls in 1GB dependecies, full of clutter, otherwise ok) and evince (well, GNOME), non is a match. I use mupdf+epdfviewer for now. konqueror: pcmanfm is a usable replacement, but needs quite a bit of work till it does it's job. So, it's 30°C outside, rainy days all gone, and I'm here on FreeBSD with FVWM and kmail running in a VM ... and desperatly waiting for Slavec to sort out the -fPIC compiler issue on FreeBSD :-) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Possibly OT: pgp key problem

by Thierry de Coulon

Hello all, This is possibly (probably?) not TDE related, but I hope someone understanding more about the matter on this list can help: I've decided to upgrade TDE to R14 on y laptop runing wheezy. Everything went fine and I did not upgrade Debian (I did update, however). I get a message that no public key is available for two key IDs - I'm not 100% sure it was not allready so before the upgrade. When I try to import these keys I get the answer that the key was not changed (so the error remains). So I've got two questions that "googling" could not answer: a) how could I get an information about what repositories these missing/wrong keys are associated with? b) what happens if I simply ignore this sort of message (apart from the fact that some sources are not fully secure)?

Random and Cascade placement wrong? And a suggestion

by ant

Am I right in thinking that settting Control Center - Window behaviour - Moving - Placement to Random results in cascaded windows, and setting it to Cascaded results in Random placement? And what I would really like is one that creates a new window under where the cursor is. Any votes for that? cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 8, desktop Trinity R14 This email is plain text, not HTML. Any attachments are either .jpg or .pdf

TDE for the blind

by Lisi Reisz

I am shortly giving a talk on TDE. I shall laud it as a desktop for the partially sighted, but shall say that it appears to be less friendly to the totally blind, in that it does not seem to have a screen reader. Is that correct? Any points that people would particularly like mentioned? In fact, any pointers? I shall use TDE 3.10.13.2 on Wheezy. I considered upgrading to 14, but if it goes wrong I haven't a lot of time to reinstate (because I am a bit over-stretched at the moment.) I need to use my own desktop because some of the things that I want to demonstrate I can't really set up anywhere else. E.g. KMail. I need mail! I am open to contradiction on that. But I am so familiar with 3.10.13.2, and it is mostly going to be a live demonstration. I don't want to do too much eerm.... let me see ...... I am bound to do some! Thanks. Lisi

No default shell for new users

by Thierry de Coulon

Hi all, Today I used kuser (R14.0) tu setup a new user. Why does kuser leave the login shell empty? Without a loging shell starting teh new user fails (xsession error), ans I'd guess most people who set up a new user though TDE will want a graphical login, so a default of /bin/bash would seem appropriate. I'm pretty sure this would be a very small change in the code. Have a nice Sunday, Thierry
