restoring keyboard settings after flipping kvm switch
by David Emerson 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi all, I have made changes in kcontrol > peripherals > keyboard (repeat delay/rate). This works great when I boot up the computer. However, if I use a KVM switch to go to another computer and come back, the keyboard repeat delay and rate are messed up (probably default settings, not my settings.) What can I do about this, so that my keyboard repeat settings will be automatically applied when a (new) keyboard is plugged in / replugged? I can see that it is possible to set something up through udev, but I don't know how to script TDE changes that appear to require the GUI. How to script this? Or perhaps udev is not the right approach? Thanks! ~David.

Loss of Kontact Kalendar module after update
by Marc Chénier 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hi, I used apt-get dist-upgrade last night, as I usually do when package updates become available on R14. After the latest update, I started Kontact: KMail works fine, as usual. But when I clicked on Kalendar, I got a "Kontact Error: Impossible to load the calendar module; can't open the module". I went to Configure Kalendar and got a message saying something like : "Could not find the specified korganizer library. Diagnostic is : can't open the module. Possible reasons: *An error occured during your latest TDE update, leaving an orphan configuration module. *You have a third party module somewhere." (as far as I know, I don't). I use Ubuntu Precise with TDE-R14 nightly builds on a 64-bit system. I need to get my Korganizer working again: I am fully dependent on it for all my appointments. Any suggestions? I checked this trinity discussion site several times to see if anyone else had the same problem: seems not so. Thanks in advance, Marco

Network manager advice
by James Anslow 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hello all Can anyone clarify how network management works by default in Trinity? Coming from a Gnome background I was expecting an all-around Wired/Wireless manager akin to network-manager but have had no such luck. I primarily use WiFi, and did try out KWiFiManager, but it appears to be quite buggy. Specifically, for my card it states that 'no networks [were] found' (but the same scan with iwlist returns a network list). I would ideally like to use network-manager, and while I have heard whispers online about a package called network-manager-tde (it turns up in a few Google results); it does not appear to be available in the TDE repository. I'm running Debian 7 (Wheezy).

Mozilla removed the ability to be embedded in anything a long time ago; we couldn't reactivate that plugin even if we wanted to. Best way forward is with Webkit; if I remember correctly there was an old RFE years back to add a Webkit renderer but no one was interested in financing the work so it went nowhere. Let's worry about R14 short term, then we can see if there is interest in moving to Webkit after that. That is a large project, so either we need several dedicated people working on it or it needs to be handled via the RFE system--obviously the "hope someone picks it up and works on it" approach isn't working for this task. ;-) Web developers, can you see if there is any way to modify the site slightly so that Konqueror can render it properly? If it helps I noticed something similar in Firefox when I had two nested tables in the body, so perhaps something isn't 100% correct in the CSS? Thanks!

PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster version 2014, October 2 is ready to download!
by Alexandre 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi everyone! My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2014, October 2 is ready to download! I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of their repos, it is also not supported by them. It only has a special ''permission to exist'' from the PCLinuxOS dev team. It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD). New on this release: -Fully updated PCLinuxOS 2014 base system -Based on stable TDE 3.5.13.2. It will probably be the last one to come with 3.5.13.2. -A theme switch Zenity script to let the user switch between the more modern theme I use and TDE Classic theme, to please more users. -A SuperKaramba theme pack -Kernel 3.16.xx On this LiveDVD: -Tons of TDE software and major apps like LibreOffice, Firefox and Gimp Login info (on the LiveDVD): Regular user:guest Password:guest Super user: root Password:root System requirement: A x86 computer with at least 384mb of RAM. It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too.

PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster
by Baron 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi Alexandre, Maybe not a problem ! I have downloaded your latest "PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster version 2014, October 2" without any issue. Checked MD5 and its a good download. I'm in the process of installing it on my test machine right now. However when I came to burn the iso using your previous version I have discovered that I can no longer burn DVD-R's ! A DVD+R burnt without any problem but K3B imediately ejected the -R disc. I didn't used to have this problem. The drive burns -R's Ok using "Open SuSE". When I can get chance I will test for this problem using the latest version of your PCLinuxOS release. -- Best Regards: Baron

Konqueror - are these bugs?
by iadest＠o2.pl 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello I've found 3 things in Konqueror, they may be bugs or maybe they are just Konqueror's specific ways of interaction and I am using MS Explorer too much :). So I don't know should I file bugs for them: Issue 1: Which files are selected? I am using Detailed List View in Konqueror. When I use mouse to select few files dragging a rectangle, sometimes one or more files below the rectangle are selected too. Issue 2: Inconsistent file renaming methods Renaming "in place" in Konqueror is a very useful function if small keyboard is used. It is easier to click on the name again, type new name and hit Return (or Esc if I made a mistake). But clicking on the name doesn't always work. This behaviour is inconsistent in different view modes - it works in icon view modes, it doesn't work in list view modes. Issue 3: New folder and then... When I create a new folder, enter its name and hit Return two times, I think I should enter this new folder, not the first folder in the list. But maybe it's Konqueror's default way?. Marek
