Hi All,
Most of the time Lock Session works. But once it fails even manually running
the command:
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
does nothing. And then I have to logout and log back in for it to work again.
.xsession-errors shows no errors. Both
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isBlanked
return 'true.' If I understand it right they should both show false when the
session is not locked?
Anyone know how to use dcop to reset Lock Session so it works again?
Thanks,
Michael
Some of this post may be off-topic, in that it started with a security alert
for Devuan; this led me to run some scans of my own system, just to make sure
something bad hasn't crept in while I was relaxing, and staying offline most
of the time.
That Devuan alert is here:
https://linuxiac.com/devuan-users-are-at-risk/https://web.archive.org/web/20230429000520/https://linuxiac.com/devuan-user…
I did check my system, and login as root is disabled. At present, I am the
only user on any of my machines or devices, and this is usually how it goes
for me. If others want to get on the internet or whatever, let them bring
their own box. So anyway, I believe that I am probably okay there.
But then I decided to run a full scan of my system (still running). When I ran
klamav, I got some surprising hits, and some of these look like they ought to
be important enough for TDE users to know about. Thus my justification for
including the off-topic stuff as well.
I am not worried about the OpenOffice/LibreOffice extension, as it is
quarantined and I don't use it, but I am curious about what it is, and if it
is not perhaps a false positive. Also, I don't care about old emails that are
marked as having a spoofed domain. They're archived; someday I'll dig out
what they are and why I kept them.
What I am most concerned about are those .deb files that I downloaded. The
clamav testfiles are supposed to ring the bell, I will guess, because they
are made to test the program. But the other files are the boot image, so I
wonder if that's normal for the boot image to set off the alarms in my
antivirus program?

P.S. By the way: thanks to developers for adding klamav back to the great
tools available from the old KDE3. I have been missing klamav, because it is
much more customizable than other frontends for clamav. There is one called
clamtk that sorta worked, but I didn't like it.
I'm getting this strange situation again with DCOP:

For some reason DCOP says I have two DCOP sessions. .DCOPserver_pinto__0 does not
respond to queries, so apparently it's dead or a ghost. .DCOPserver_pinto__1 works
normally.
I notice also that the output from dcop --help does not include the --suicide option? Is
this a clue to what's going on?
How do I get rid of the one that doesn't respond?

I haven't tried archiving a folder yet, and there isn't any information in the Handbook
about archiving folders.
If I archive a folder, how can its content be accessed afterward?

Hello all,
I'm setting up a laptop with a 4K screen (it's a Thinkpad P51). This 4K screen
will be used to manipulate Photos (with programs that require Windows...).
I have installed Linux as well (for everything that does not require M$ stuff)
with MX-Linux and TDE.
I want to run TDE (and mostly all Linux programs) at 1920x1080. I've managed
to do this with xrandr, running from a script that is in /usr/local/share.
The last "problem" (with which I can live, just nags me) is that this script
visibly is run relatively late, after the login screen, which is then tiny.
I first set it up for xfce/lightdm and the scripts are triggered from
*.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart.
I found an /opt/trinity/share/autostart and hoped it might run thing before
login but it does not seem to (or more probably my syntax is not the right
one).
So the question is: is it possible to set resolution before login, if so how.
I'd prefet to continue working with xrandr than hardwiring something in the X
configuration file.

Anyone have experience using a headphone/microphone on Linux for Zoom
meetings? Business use, not gaming. Cheap is good, 100s is out of my price
range, and my preference is something with a USB RF dongle. *
I’ll need one in the next month or two and personal recommendations are
usually way better than some [sales] article off the web.
Thanks all,
Michael

- I’ve read that Bluetooth connections have latency issues, and
- I’d need to dig through my motherboards wiring to setup the 3.5mm jack.
I have a notebook but in most of the time (but not always) use an external monitor. One time I use only one monitor. After switching to external HDMI-1 monitor from LVDS-1 using "Resize and Rotate" the notifications of various panel applets (like TDENetworkManager) appears on desktop in wrong places, far from the right place (from the mouse), using the previous monitor size. The same problem is with Kate. This is very annoying... I did not try to logout since I do not want to loose my session work. Is there any solution?
TDE R14.0.9
If anyone else in the Trinity community has experienced the flattening of the TDE menu
(as I have), this might be a solution to look at.
The OP was from someone evaluating openSUSE Leap 15.5 and modern KDE. It's possible that
it only affects openSUSE users.

Oh,
You will need to grab the 15.3
desktop-data-openSUSE-15.0.20171024-lp153.1.53.src.rpm
for the xdg menu categories (otherwise all items are just dumped in the menu).
This change was a result of Gnome -- and it really sucks. This is one addition
that should be added to the KDE3 repo -- but it does affect all desktops.
Why SUSE let the gnome tail wag the openSUSE dog is bewildering...

I saw a note - or at least I think I saw a note - in the 14.1.0psb
release notes about a new tdebluez. So I tried to install it and
failed but by then I had already closed the release notes and could
not find them again.
(1) It appears that the package is actually - and perhaps redundantly -
- called tdebluez-trinity. Unless my memory is playing tricks
it might help if the package name and the release notes matched.
(2) Because 14.1.0psb is not yet released the (draft) release notes
are not yet linked to the regular release notess page:
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php
I was also unable to find 14.1.0 release notes through various
web searches, from my T menu, or via Trinity Help Center. Is
there a canonical way to find/read the release notes of the
installed version of TDE?
Thanks,
--Mike
