Hi all, I have a question about KPDF under Trinity 3.5.13.2, Debian wheezy. I have problems with fonts in PDFs built using LaTeX - see attached screenshot (I hope it makes it to the list). Notice how the upper curve of 'o' and 'e' is not visible. Same happens with lower curve of 's'. This is pretty annoying. Is there any way to fix this? On my other machine that still runs KDE3 this problem does not exist, so there should be a way of fixing this. Perhaps I should install some system-wide set of fonts?

I can 'open in Iceweasel' from Konqueror, but not the other way around. Being able to extend the Iceweasel Application panel with file extensions/URL types that can be opened in a running Konqueror instance would be really nice. ...Editing mimeTypes.rdf looked promising, but it appears to be limited to base executables - '/opt/trinity/bin/konqueror' works (new instance), '/opt/trinity/bin/kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing' is ignored/won't show up as an option.

The right pane only has a line of text until you start opening/selecting items in the list. Prepending that text with 'Search for/' (select a file type...) might make the functionality clearer. It sounds like you haven't discovered TDE's extensive help sections. Clicking the title bar ? mark and then the File Associations text entry field provides basic information. Clicking the Help button (bottom left), provides a lot more - foreground in the screenshot. It might also help if it was menu > Trinity Control Center, instead of menu > TCC > TCC to actually open the control center. I don't see any advantage to duping the control center menu in the main menu and it makes opening the control center harder/less obvious. Using the control center menu provides a third help option (> ?, < Help) via a side menu question mark icon.

next problem, konqueror's 75% crash rate when clicking on an http link in kmail

by Gene Heskett

Lets face it, iceweasal is 10,000% more browser than konqueror. Where do I change this (TDE? IDK) default broswer to iceweasal when I click on a web link in a kmail incoming message? If it runs long enough, I can switch to iceweasal in its file pulldown, but 75% of the time I am looking at its crash report popup, which for the purposes of registering a bug report is worthless because the debug symbols are not compiled in. So the report it does file is basically konqueror crashed, no further details. Those I believe must get routed to /dev/null since not one of them over the last 5+ years has ever resulted in a reply (from anyone) asking for further details. Thanks folks.

Getting stuck in LXDE after an update. solution

by Lisi Reisz

For the archives, and for anyone else who makes the same stupid mistake I did. I have my TV connected computer set to boot up without requiring a password. It is running Jessie and TDE14. I forgot, before I started an upgrade, to set tdm back to requiring a password. O.K. No-one but me could be so dumb, but still, for the archives: I ran an update -> upgrade - and forgot to reset the dm to tdm (instead of ldm) before rebooting. Yes, I can be dumb. When I rebooted after the upgrade, I was in ldm and LXDE. As far as I could see, ldm offered no choice of desktop. I managed to change back to tdm - but tdm wasn't asking me to log in, so wasn't giving me a chance to change to TDE. So there was I, stuck. In neither tdm nor ldm could I change back to TDE. I could have ldm, a login screen and no choice of session, or tdm and no login screen. Solution? A solution, anyway. # aptitude purge tdm-trinity && aptitude install tdm-trinity After the first half, it closed my xserver down, but gave me a virtual terminal login. So I logged in as root and repeated the command. (Up arrow worked.) Having found no tdm to purge, the first time round having obviously got that far when it closed the xserver down, it installed tdm. So, set dm to tdm. Cross fingers. # init 6 And there, large as life and twice as lovely is my login screen! So, all is well, and I am back in TDE. I haven't listed everything I tried nor everything I called myself. But hopefully anyone else who gets him or herself in as stupid a bind will find this, before going through an hour or two of frustration. Let's just hope that, unlike our institutions, I actually learn the lessons that have been learnt! Lisi

Problem with icons after upgrade to R14

by iadest＠o2.pl

I've recently upgraded my Debian notebook from 3.5.13.2 to R14. I have a problem with icons in menu. I think there are 2 separate problems. First, some icons in menu appear blurred, especially launcher icon. They're not sharp as previous icons were, they look blurred or semi-transparent. The second problem is with icons in KDE Classic icon set - it looks like some icons are missing after upgrade. At least Graphics, Multimedia, Programming tools and Tools category icons look like they are taken from another theme. Here is menu from my old computer (in fact it's 3.5.13, not 13.2, but icons are OK): http://postimg.org/image/ichghc3w9/ Icons in Debian notebook after upgrade. Notice blurring in menu launcher icon: http://postimg.org/image/feepaby85/ Is it possible to disable icon semi-transparency? How to re-install classic icon set? MCbx

TDE version of kmail question

by Gene Heskett

I have a bash script that can tell kmail, over the dbus, to go get the mail from the local /var/spool/mail/ after procmail has delivered it. Since switching t tde, that is failing and I've been for to make kmail check periodically. That command is preset in the script to: Cmd="/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.kmail /KMail org.kde.kmail.kmail.checkMail" Since this is TDE, not KDE, is there something in the above line I need to edit to make it function with this TDE version? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Iceweasel

by Baron

Hi All, Debian Jessie, R14. I've noticed an odd thing. Having closed Iceweasel, it still seems to be running and taking 98% cpu according to KSysguard. I had noticed a slowdown in browsing for a few days now, but didn't realise why until last night. -- Best Regards: Baron
