"The process for the sftp://192.168.1.7 protocol died unexpectedly."
by Curt Howland 18 May '23

18 May '23

Ok, this worked last week. Now it doesn't work. Debian Bullseye. Konqueror, "sftp://other-machine/" doesn't work anymore. I have one machine still using TDE 14.0.13, which I expected to work when the machines I updated to TDE 14.1.0 started acting this way, but no. Now none of them are able to sftp to each other in Konqueror. Ssh works just fine between the machines. I'm using shared keys, rather than passwords. Could that be the problem? The error is occurring instead of the pinentry dialog opening up. NB, the pinentry dialog opens just fine for kmail when signing this email. Suggestions?

TDE R14.1.0 released, new targets started...
by Slávek Banko 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi all, after R14.1.0 was released, the development windows were open. This time there are two windows - one for the upcoming R14.1.1, the other for the future R14.2.0. The first pull-requests have already been merged and the packages are already waiting in the queue for publishing... If you use a stable R14.0.x series, you should consider performing tests and switching to R14.1.x series, because R14.0.x is now closed and there will be no further releases in this series. If you used to use the Preliminary Testing Builds only temporarily and prefer a little quieter Preliminary Stable Builds, it is time to switch the repository. Likewise, if you used the Preliminary Stable Build only temporarily and prefer quiet waters of stable releases, it is time to switch to repository of official releases R14.1.x. Currently, all repositors are the same - the stable releases R14.1.x, PSB and PTB, so it is a good time to switch between repositories. At the end of this week (May 7) it is planned to restart builds for PTB repository - se there will be the first packages for R14.2.0~pre. At the end of the following week (May 14) it is planned to restart builds for PSB repository - so there will be the first packages for R14.1.1~pre. Thank you for your support! Cheers -- Slávek

Re: how to suppress icons in systray ? sorta half-solved
by William Morder 09 May '23

09 May '23

Okay, so now dig me. :-] I played round with ksystraycmd. It shows how long it's been since I thought about this thing, because after mulling it over a bit, I figured out how to make my own trick. alt-F2 smplayer %f | --pkill ksystraycmd Whatever applies to smplayer here, ought to work with other programs, too. That kills the ghost icon from the start, if I open it from alt-F2, but now I get a plain white vanilla gui interface. I believe I can figure out how to force my own background, and probably how to get all this stuff into the "open with" menu. There's probably an easier way, but at least I can get this to work for me. So I think I'm halfway there. Now for the messier problem: I have all these leftover shortcuts in my "open with" menus. It worst in my oldest folders, of course. Now I'm wondering, Is there's an easy way of getting rid of those unused shortcuts? Bill

trinity's version of "identify"
by Jim 09 May '23

09 May '23

I recently compiled 14.1.0, and just like my 14.0.13 before it, the TDE "identify" program does not work on much of anything for me. For example, running it on a fairly innocuous JPEG, I get Cannot decode /home/zsd/cyclone-copper.jpg: Unsupported file format or not RAW file whereas the identify that comes with my distro's (Slackware64 15.0, fwiw) imagemagick says cyclone-copper.jpg JPEG 3840x1776 3840x1776+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1.49897MiB 0.000u 0:00.000 I'm trying to track down whether this is (a) a TDE problem, (b) a Slackware64 problem, or (c) a me problem. Would someone mind taking a minute to tell me if trinity's identify works correctly on your system (and what distro you are using)? Thanks. Jim

Lock Session fails
by Michael 08 May '23

08 May '23

Hi All, Most of the time Lock Session works. But once it fails even manually running the command: dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock does nothing. And then I have to logout and log back in for it to work again. .xsession-errors shows no errors. Both dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isBlanked return 'true.' If I understand it right they should both show false when the session is not locked? Anyone know how to use dcop to reset Lock Session so it works again? Thanks, Michael

security warnings - possibly off-topic
by William Morder 05 May '23

05 May '23

Some of this post may be off-topic, in that it started with a security alert for Devuan; this led me to run some scans of my own system, just to make sure something bad hasn't crept in while I was relaxing, and staying offline most of the time. That Devuan alert is here: https://linuxiac.com/devuan-users-are-at-risk/ https://web.archive.org/web/20230429000520/https://linuxiac.com/devuan-user… I did check my system, and login as root is disabled. At present, I am the only user on any of my machines or devices, and this is usually how it goes for me. If others want to get on the internet or whatever, let them bring their own box. So anyway, I believe that I am probably okay there. But then I decided to run a full scan of my system (still running). When I ran klamav, I got some surprising hits, and some of these look like they ought to be important enough for TDE users to know about. Thus my justification for including the off-topic stuff as well. I am not worried about the OpenOffice/LibreOffice extension, as it is quarantined and I don't use it, but I am curious about what it is, and if it is not perhaps a false positive. Also, I don't care about old emails that are marked as having a spoofed domain. They're archived; someday I'll dig out what they are and why I kept them. What I am most concerned about are those .deb files that I downloaded. The clamav testfiles are supposed to ring the bell, I will guess, because they are made to test the program. But the other files are the boot image, so I wonder if that's normal for the boot image to set off the alarms in my antivirus program? Bill P.S. By the way: thanks to developers for adding klamav back to the great tools available from the old KDE3. I have been missing klamav, because it is much more customizable than other frontends for clamav. There is one called clamtk that sorta worked, but I didn't like it.

Multiple DCOP sessions
by J Leslie Turriff 02 May '23

02 May '23

I'm getting this strange situation again with DCOP: | @22:01:36,leslie@pinto rc=0 | ~ | $ dcop --user leslie | ERROR: Multiple available TDE sessions! | Please specify the correct session to use with --session or use the | --all-sessions option to broadcast to all sessions. | @22:02:03,leslie@pinto rc=255 | ~ | $ dcop --user leslie --list-sessions | Active sessions for user /home/leslie : | .DCOPserver_pinto__0 | .DCOPserver_pinto__1 | | @22:02:13,leslie@pinto rc=0 | ~ | $ px dcop | leslie 26431 1 0 Apr29 ? 00:00:01 dcopserver [tdeinit] --nosid --suicide | @22:02:20,leslie@pinto rc=0 | ~ | $ dcopserver --help-all | Usage: dcopserver [--nofork] [--nosid] [--help] | dcopserver --serverid | | DCOP is TDE's Desktop Communications Protocol.

I notice also that the output from dcop --help does not include the --suicide option? Is this a clue to what's going on? How do I get rid of the one that doesn't respond?

Archiving kmail folders

I haven't tried archiving a folder yet, and there isn't any information in the Handbook about archiving folders. If I archive a folder, how can its content be accessed afterward?

Set resolution *before* login
by Thierry de Coulon 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hello all, I'm setting up a laptop with a 4K screen (it's a Thinkpad P51). This 4K screen will be used to manipulate Photos (with programs that require Windows...). I have installed Linux as well (for everything that does not require M$ stuff) with MX-Linux and TDE. I want to run TDE (and mostly all Linux programs) at 1920x1080. I've managed to do this with xrandr, running from a script that is in /usr/local/share. The last "problem" (with which I can live, just nags me) is that this script visibly is run relatively late, after the login screen, which is then tiny. I first set it up for xfce/lightdm and the scripts are triggered from *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart. I found an /opt/trinity/share/autostart and hoped it might run thing before login but it does not seem to (or more probably my syntax is not the right one). So the question is: is it possible to set resolution before login, if so how. I'd prefet to continue working with xrandr than hardwiring something in the X configuration file. Thierry
