Okay so this is another kinda weird one. I have been sitting on it for a
couple weeks, just to make sure it wasn't something stupid that I did myself,
or something that could be easily corrected, or whatever.
On the surface, it's just another one of those trivial annoyances that doesn't
matter much in the big scheme of things. But I think it's a bug, or some kind
of deeper issue. I have accordingly tried to include as much relevant
information as possible. Please feel free to trim in the responses.
When I upgraded my system, Kmail now will not display my chosen font for the
message body. I tend to prefer a bookish font myself, but they don't always
display. For web creation stuff, for example, its good to do a little
research on web-safe fonts, which are supposed to display on any page on any
machine, etc. But this is, again, my own machine, so if I can get it to work,
then it should not matter to anybody else; it's not like I am forcing others
to use desktop that looks exactly like mine.
Now, what's peculiar about this is that it only seems to affect the message
body of the emails that I have received (and may or may not be reading). As I
compose this email - the very words that you are reading at this moment - the
message body of my own draft looks right.*
[* Please see attachments for proof by screenshots. You will note that I
enclosed a couple older screenshots that I still had in that folder, plus a
couple more recent ones. The more recent ones show how my Kmail behaves
differently between the message body in the composer, where it uses my chosen
font, and the message display, where it seems to be forcing some version of
mono.]
I did switch round, try out some other fonts, bookish or not-so-much, but the
song remains the same: I still get stuck with a font that looks like some
version of mono.
Not that it's totally illegible, and probably wouldn't bother others, but I do
really hate reading ugly fonts. I'll keep digging, but so far, but I have
been digging now for a couple weeks, and nothing changes, no clues, no
progress.
Any help will be appreciated. Don't have the slightest inkling what caused it,
as I have been using Kmail like this since it was KDE3, back in the
antediluvian days of about 2006 or so. I *ever* haven't changed a thing
except the display font for Kmail; and last time I changed that was about
five years ago. Otherwise, things have worked pretty much the same since day
one, across multiple machines, users, operating systems, upgrades, and
everything else that has happened between then and now.

P.S.
For the record, I am running Devuan Chimaera 4.x (whatever is the current
upgrade version), kernel verion is 5.10.0-23-amd64, and my Trinity desktop is
given as R14.1.1~[DEVELOPMENT]. (I copied this from the display page for
Trinity Control Center.)
My current sources list; just the main and preliminary stable builds.

I'm not sure what part of gtk TDE does, but saw this on an update today and
was wondering if it's related to TDE or not.
Best,

The following packages will be upgraded:
cups-browsed cups-filters cups-filters-core-drivers libcupsfilters1
libfontembed1 libkpathsea6 libptexenc1 libsynctex2
libtexlua52 libtexlua53 libtexluajit2 texlive-binaries
...
Processing triggers for install-info (6.5.0.dfsg.1-4+b1) ...
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in

I created a separate account with default settings, to do software development. In
konqueror, I added a tab dedicated to man:/, but when I click on any of the man section
links instead of opening them in that tab it sends them to Firefox(!)
That doesn't happen in the konqueror in my regular account. What might be the cause?

Platform: Linux
Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)
Desktop Environment: Trinity
Qt: 3.5.0
TDE: R14.1.0
tde-config: 1.0
Ok, this worked last week. Now it doesn't work. Debian Bullseye.
Konqueror, "sftp://other-machine/" doesn't work anymore. I have one
machine still using TDE 14.0.13, which I expected to work when the
machines I updated to TDE 14.1.0 started acting this way, but no. Now
none of them are able to sftp to each other in Konqueror.
Ssh works just fine between the machines. I'm using shared keys,
rather than passwords. Could that be the problem?
The error is occurring instead of the pinentry dialog opening up. NB,
the pinentry dialog opens just fine for kmail when signing this
email.
Suggestions?

Hi all,
after R14.1.0 was released, the development windows were open. This time
there are two windows - one for the upcoming R14.1.1, the other for the
future R14.2.0. The first pull-requests have already been merged and the
packages are already waiting in the queue for publishing...
If you use a stable R14.0.x series, you should consider performing tests
and switching to R14.1.x series, because R14.0.x is now closed and there
will be no further releases in this series.
If you used to use the Preliminary Testing Builds only temporarily and
prefer a little quieter Preliminary Stable Builds, it is time to switch
the repository. Likewise, if you used the Preliminary Stable Build only
temporarily and prefer quiet waters of stable releases, it is time to
switch to repository of official releases R14.1.x.
Currently, all repositors are the same - the stable releases R14.1.x, PSB
and PTB, so it is a good time to switch between repositories. At the end
of this week (May 7) it is planned to restart builds for PTB repository -
se there will be the first packages for R14.2.0~pre. At the end of the
following week (May 14) it is planned to restart builds for PSB
repository - so there will be the first packages for R14.1.1~pre.
Thank you for your support!
Cheers

Hello,
This window is in english.
How to make it in french.
It is the only element that is in english.
The TDE chosen language is French.
I don't mind, it's just to know.

Okay, so now dig me. :-]
I played round with ksystraycmd. It shows how long it's been since I thought
about this thing, because after mulling it over a bit, I figured out how to
make my own trick.
alt-F2
smplayer %f | --pkill ksystraycmd
Whatever applies to smplayer here, ought to work with other programs, too.
That kills the ghost icon from the start, if I open it from alt-F2, but now I
get a plain white vanilla gui interface. I believe I can figure out how to
force my own background, and probably how to get all this stuff into
the "open with" menu. There's probably an easier way, but at least I can get
this to work for me.
So I think I'm halfway there. Now for the messier problem: I have all these
leftover shortcuts in my "open with" menus. It worst in my oldest folders, of
course.
Now I'm wondering, Is there's an easy way of getting rid of those unused
shortcuts?

I recently compiled 14.1.0, and just like my 14.0.13 before it, the TDE
"identify" program does not work on much of anything for me. For example,
running it on a fairly innocuous JPEG, I get
Cannot decode /home/zsd/cyclone-copper.jpg: Unsupported file format or not RAW file
whereas the identify that comes with my distro's (Slackware64 15.0, fwiw)
imagemagick says
cyclone-copper.jpg JPEG 3840x1776 3840x1776+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1.49897MiB 0.000u 0:00.000
I'm trying to track down whether this is
(a) a TDE problem,
(b) a Slackware64 problem, or
(c) a me problem.
Would someone mind taking a minute to tell me if trinity's identify works
correctly on your system (and what distro you are using)?
Thanks.
Jim
