Happy New Year, all!
A few months ago I saw that it was possible to put text with the icons on the
KMail toolbar and breathed a sigh of relief. I could at last move my husband
from Icedove (Thunderbird) to KMail, without being cruel to him, and my life
would get a whole lot easier. I could finally have him on Maildir not Mbox
and could remove the viruses he loves downloading, without destroying half
his email. He downloads viruses with gay abandon, and whilst they do not
hurt him, he has Windows using friends.
I am about to set his new computer up. I am looking at things on my computer
to refresh my memory. And the text has disappeared again! I am really sad
about this. Does anyone know where it has disappeared to or where I ought to
be looking? I hope that the problem is PEBKAC, and thus easily solved with
your help. It is KMail 1.9.10 on TDE 3.5.13.2.
Please help! I can't face another eternity of trying to protect his friends
from viruses on Icedove. I tend to get cowardly and not run a virus
check. :-( I have Googled and Googled. I have been Googling for a week or
two. :-(
He is away, and I want to have it set up properly for him when he gets home on
Thursday.
Thanks,
Lisi
P.S. I once found seven little .exe files sitting in his home directory doing
nothing!! They were easy to delete. :-)
Since installing the recent update to FF 16.0.2, I have been having
constant issues. Sometimes as often as 3-4 times a day (other times it
works ok for a couple of days at a time), FF will appear as though it
has lost all access to the internet. Any tabs that I try to reload will
just sit there and spin. 'Top' does not show any processes running out
of control, and if I close and restart FF, everything works normally.
I have not noticed any pattern to the sites I'm visiting when it stops
working. It does not appear to be related to flash content, and
sometimes I come back to my computer to see it stuck trying to reload a
page, so it appears to lose its connection even when not being actively
used. I do not have any proxies or other special setting for my network
- it's just a straight connection to the local LAN. I had assumed it
was just my computer, but today my wife informed me that she has also
been having the same problems for the past week. Both systems are
running Ubuntu 11.04 (natty), and all updates have been applied.
I can't really work from a new profile because I need my bookmarks and
plugins for daily work, and as I mentioned this problem does not
immediately show up. However if anyone has other suggestions that I
could look into, or if you have run across any other threads from people
having similar problems, please let me know.
Does TDE have a preference for either alsa or pulseaudio? The last 12.2
system I installed TDE on has no sound currently. It has installed currently
alsa, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins & alsa-utils, but no pulsau*.

Bonjour Alexandre!
I didn't see that you ever got an answer to the above question. The
answer is that it's both. "Mom" is American and "Mum" is British. I
don't know what they use in English Canada.
Bonne année et bonne santé de Cincinnati!

Hi everyone!
Anyone who have tried my LiveCD would have seen that when you click on ''Storage media'' in Dolphin, you have to click on refresh to see the list of the drives you can mount. Also, if I do a ''safely remove'' on a usb key, I have to click on refresh to see the drive as unmounted. Ok, I'll admit that there is more important problems than this in the world, but It would be nice to have a kind of auto-refresh in that window.
Is this problem caused by the underlying changes in Linux (with DBUS, UMOUNT, HAL, ...) or it is just a small problem in Dolphin?
Does the next release of TDE will get better support for that?
Happy New Year!

I am just about to install Debian and TDE on my husband's birthday present
box. He is quite clear that he wants Squeeze. He likes stability and would
rather have a reinstallation in the not too distant future than have
something not called Stable. And he hates change! But not even the prospect
of being left in peace far longer could tempt him into Wheezy.
Moreover, he is adamant that he likes KDE 3 best. (I have given him various
environments to try.)
BUT - I'm the one doing it! If I can present him with a stable box, even if
not a Stable one, he will be happy.
So - how stable is Wheezy with TDE 3.5.14 nightly builds? I get the
impression not quite.
But using Squeeze means opening the box and putting an extra network card in
in order to be able to install it. (Or anything else with a kernel <
2.6.34.)
I just want to be quite sure in my mind that Wheezy won't yet do, before I
start opening boxen.
Thanks .

Hi Alexandre,
I've now got your live CD installed on my machine... I'm quite
impressed though I do seem to have moments of very odd behaviour.
For instance I used "Network Center" to disconnect my wired ethernet
prior to doing some other things. But didn't reconnect before I shut
the machine down. Starting the machine up this evening I discover that
I now have "Dolphin" started up and three instances of "Gkrellm" all on
the same desktop. Most curious !
Things work mostly as I expect. Good work. Thankyou for sharing.
