Renaming Konsole session tabs programmatically - SOLVED

by J Leslie Turriff

I've fiddled with this for quite a while, and I finally have gotten it to work! I wanted the names on the Konsole session tabs to match the last node of the working directory; that makes it much easier to pick the right tab. The change is triggered by bash routine kcd (konsole cd) and the code that actually changes the tab name is changeKonsoleSessionName. I've attached the pieces of code that do the job. (changeKonsoleSessionName is written in Rexx. Sorry, but the string manipulation tools in bash are just awful; but the code is probably clear enough, and could be rewritten by an enterprising person. :-) I was thinking of adding something to change the text colour of the tab, but there doesn't seem to be a DCOP method for doing that. :-( Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.0 tde-config: 1.0

Menu entries for terminal-based applications

by J Leslie Turriff

I have a terminal-based application that I'm trying to debug. I have created a menu entry for it with Run in Terminal checked. There is also an option to keep the terminal from closing when the application ends, but I can't find it either by using the Menu Editor or by right-clicking the entry in the menu tree and selecting Edit Item. I know I've seen it somewhere (I've used it in the past), but now I can't find it anywhere. Alternatively, is there a value I can set in .local/share/applications/<item>.desktop?

I want my boxdrawing characters

by Felix Miata

(It seems like this problem only just arose in the weeks since the middle of June, maybe more recently, but at least a month ago.) I often find them replaced by other characters, as in the attachment. The SS is from Tumbleweed, but it happens also in Leap, and also in KDE3's Konsole. Is this an absence of some specific font? If not, what needs to be differently configured for Konsole to always use boxdraw characters when an app or utility is supposed to be using them when used in Konsole? What follows is all from one multiboot PC: # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # wpctl status PipeWire 'pipewire-0' [0.3.75, root@ab250, cookie:1948030365] ââ Clients: 31.

Crystalcursors

by Gianluca Interlandi

Dear TDE list, I installed the Crystalcursors mouse theme. In the past, e.g. in openSUSE 15.2, it worked well with TDE. However, in openSUSE 15.4 with TDE R14.1.0 I get a white arrow as expected for Crystalcursors, but for moving or resizing a window it falls back to the Adwaita default. I now realize that Crystalcursors is not an official trinity package, but probably from KDE3. My question is: Is there an official trinity Crystalcursors package or similar? If not, would it be possible to port the Crystalcursors mouse theme to trinity? Thanks!

Strange window behavior of gvim in TDE

by Gianluca Interlandi

Hi! I have installed openSUSE 15.4 with the current version of Trinity. It works nicely, thanks! However, gvim has a strange behavior. If I open gvim in LXDE it opens in a normal window and I can resize it like any other window. However in TDE, gvim opens in a at first regularly sized window but then it shrinks itself in width. If I try to enlarge it it freezes and looks like this: http://artemide.bioeng.washington.edu/Install_openSUSE15.4-trinity/20230808… To make it "unfreeze" I have to move it a bit, then it is responsive and I can type. I do not have this problem for example with firefox, which is also based on gtk-3. Is there any specific gtk-3 setting that I need to change to make gvim work properly? Thanks!

Packages with invalid signatures

by Mateus Rocha

Hello, people! I tried to reinstall Trinity here on Mageia 8(64 bit), but after downloading some packages for the installation using urpmi, the "Invalid Signature" message has showed up on all of them. I tried different mirrors as well, but I still have no success. Yes, I followed the installation instructions for Mageia on the TDE wiki. So, maybe there is a problem on the packages, on the repos, or the problem is on my end. Regards, Mateus Rocha

If I change it, the error message disappears. Thanks, cheers. Andre
