xdg-open issue
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all! I just came around an anoying xdg issue: $ xdg-open justapdf.pdf This opens a pdf, but with Gimp! I fiddeled around with gimp.desktop without success. I fiddeled around with xdg-mime without success: $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf /opt/trinity/share/applications/kde/kpdf.desktop but it opens gimp. IMO xdg-* is quite broken. :-( Now the only workaround I came up with is setting the environment variabe DE to kde: export DE=kde Then xdg-open uses kfmclient and that calles the kpdf. Now, would it be possibel to let TDE set that variable by default or am I missing a vital point? Nik

TDE on Debian/Wheezy
by James Downing 17 May '13

17 May '13

I saw a question earlier, and I was also interested, in how to install TDE on Debian/Wheezy/7.0. Since it did not appear that TDE was available yet for Wheezy, I was concerned that I would have to continue to wait for my favorite desktop, so I would need to continue to wait to upgrade Debian. Then I saw are response that I could use an un-released development version of TDE for wheezy, and I was prepared to do that, but did not step into that yet. So, I commented out the TDE archive from my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and upgraded Debian/Squeeze/6.0.X to Wheeze as usual. I was surprised to find out that TDE was retained in full and it works fine. The only experience I have found thus far is that I cannot use the mouse right away after switching from one user desktop to another. I can use the keyboard to unlock the screen, and then the mouse becomes usable again. Otherwise, the new upgrade is flawless (as usual for Debian). Is there anything that I am unaware of that is actually broken, but perhaps, I have not noticed ? -- James D. Freels, Ph.D. freelsjd(a)gmail.com

Perhaps just blow-by-blow instructions for changing the MATE-DE to TDE might be easier for someone who knows what they are doing, particularly if the instructions are in GOF-speak(1). Glen

Problem adding a user
by Dan Youngquist 10 May '13

10 May '13

Hi all, This is on a machine running David Hare's Exe Debian Wheezy respin. When I add a user, the new user doesn't show up in either the user list in Kuser, or on the login screen. It does create a home directory, but it doesn't add the user to the extra_groups from adduser.conf. The new user can login to TDE at the login screen, but the first-run wizard runs at every login. I tried adding the user with kuser and from a shell with adduser, with the same result. I ran out of time and had to leave, but later realized I should've checked ownership on the new home directory. Before I go back and try again, can anyone offer any other suggestions? I tried it on another machine with Exe installed from the same CD with, I think, the same set of other stuff (multimedia etc.) installed, and everything worked fine. Thanks, Dan -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

Odd printing behaviour !
by Baron 09 May '13

09 May '13

Hi Guys, I am using PCLinuxOS from the image that Alexandre Couture created and have discovered an odd printing behaviour. If I click on print from any PDF or Image it prints OK first time. If I then try to print a second copy or close the application and try to print something else the print dialogue comes up frozen. If I click on exit a few times it will tell me that "Kprint" is not responding and give me the opertunity to terminate it. After this I cannot print anything at all without restarting the machine. However when I get back to the desktop, I get the message that there is no default printer and to use the "--all" switch. ?? Clearing the error message allows me to continue as normal. Untill I print something. I have tried the various dialogues but seem unable to find or access my printer. Don't laugh, I'm still using my HP Deskjet 500 MK1 from over thirty years ago. I long as I can keep refilling the cartridge with ink it will continue to be in use ! Thanks guys: -- Best Regards: Baron
