I think this is linked to the new 14.0.1 pre version:
I use Konqueror to browse directories in Icon view. From there I click on a
directory (e.g. to check for a file), then out of this directory again (sort
of graphical cd <location>, cd ..).
- Previously , when I went one level up, Konqueror would show the top first
directories (even if I just came out of one of the bottom ones). For example
if I had just clicked inside directory "Window", when comming out Konqueror
would show the directories with names starting with A, B or C.
- Now, when I get out of a directory, Konqueror shows icons with names
starting with D, E, F or G.
I could undestand the former way (I supposed Konqueror simply always came back
to the top of the list), but I can't understand the "logic" of the "new"
behaviour. As the behaviour changed, that makes me hope it might be possible
to control it.

Another thorny Thinkpad issue. Running current TDE atop Debian Bedbug
(okay, Bookworm). Trying to run ProtonVPN, which blows up.
Had the same problem with the desktop and was able to fix it by in what I
think is the TDE network applet -- it doesn't identify itself -- in the
settings for ipv6 I disabled ipv6 (which ProtonVPN requires). But on the
Thinkpad install there is no such setting.
I need to disable ipv6; I would just as soon not edit /etc/sysctl.conf
unless I absolutely have to. Is there a TDE setting that lets me do this?

Decided to relax a little, but failed because I found a channel on YouTube called "NCommander," where a guy who knows his subject plays with old software. For instance, I watched him compile WinWord for OS/2 v. 1.2.
It was a very tense operation as I saw loads of long-forgotten OS/2 errors that in later OS/2 versions meant at least boot from floppy and from the third install floppy run fdisk (with some switches I've forgotten) or else the dreaded rf-ri -- reformat-reinstall.
But the real waves of dread came in the video in which he installed SLS Linux from 31 floppies. It didn't go well, but what got me were the parts that did. Installing Linux a quarter century ago was hell. It was a minefield.
Still, if you're not subject to nightmarish flashbacks, it's a pretty enjoyable video. The whole floppy-swap experience and everything. (Though he didn't get into editing Xf86config, which was half the . . . fun.)

I'm pretty sure this came with the last upgrade to TDE: I now regularely have
small windows poping up on the right bottom of my screen with messages that
look like "notifications" about something that just happened (mostly some
partition having just been mounted).
Yesterday I got a big, quick series of such "notifications" from my browser.
So quick in fact that I don't know what they were about. They do disappear
quickly too (maybe from their own or because I clicked somewhere ??).
Anyway, I was wondering if there is any playe in TDE where we can control this
new "feature". I looked in TCC but could not find anything new.
Oh! It's 14.1.0 (Development) from the PSB.

greets, folks. i should start by saying that i have no opinion on how the
TDE entity should be financed or governed, though as a general rule
international nonprofits do better when based in switzerland.
now, why i'm here: i've hit a couple of configuration issues. first, how do
i make the desktop pager go away, forever, appearing nowhere. i use one
desktop, and don't have room to spare on kicker.
second, how do i make the trashcan and icon go away. on my desktop machine
i somehow found a way to put it as a hidden directory in my home
directory, which is fine. but i do not want it appearing on my desktop.
didn't like it in windows 3.0 and still don't.
third, the awful phenomenon of the keyring login popping up and demanding a
password whenever i lon in to the net has returned. i don't remember how
it got killed last time.
anyone know how to do these things?
thanks.

When creating a bug report or enhancement request, the template says,
| <!--
| Use SL/* labels to set the severity level.
|
| Please do not set a milestone.
| -->
and apparently the levels are supposed to appear in the box to the right, but for the
tickets I've opened, there are no levels listed there. The wiki says, "Optionally, you
can assign one or more labels (6) to the report, for better categorization."
Is the above comment (Use SL/*...) included in the template by mistake, or are the level
descriptions omitted by mistake? What does one replace the * with to choose a level?

Platform: Linux
Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)
Desktop Environment: Trinity
Qt: 3.5.0
TDE: R14.0.13
tde-config: 1.0
I seem unable to configure mouse pointer acceleration. The mouse pointer
moves way too fast, beyond usability. Acceleration is set to 1.0 in TCC.
Sometimes I can change that setting, reset to 1.0, and the mouse pointer
behaves but often not.
Pretty much renders the desktop unusable.
Ideas?

Starting a new thread to list the costs and special restrictions of
non-profits by location.
Note: If the dev’s already have a set in stone plan, then this thread is
pointless, but, otherwise, it’ll be a good source of information for the
final decision.
I’ll start with what I remember from the last go-around about the USA and
Canada (links are in the old thread). I’m using the term ‘Federal’ for
national level government and approximations in USDs. Let’s try to keep this
just a list of facts and relevant notes. Do include links to sources if you
have them.

Legal Setup: 250 - 1,000
Federal Tax Registration[IRS]: 1,500

Hi, everybody!
The notebook Debianization project proceeds apace. Between the parsimonious default packages in Debian -- "locate" is not installed by default, nor "sudo" -- and my personal dislike of TDE defaults, it's finicky.
Having installed tdetrinity-base rather than the everything including the tea-timer version, I went a little hog-wild in Synaptic and installed what seems to be too much gtk support, for both 2 and 3, which caused firefox to blow up saying it can't do both. So I went back to synaptic and removed Trinity-related gtk stuff. Now, when I open, say, konsole, I get this, twice:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/opt/trinity/lib/kgtk/libkgtk2.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
It seems to do harm, but I'd just as soon install whatever is needed to make the error go away. Anybody know which package I need?
Thanks in advance.
