TCC Device Manager
by Darrell Anderson 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Hi All, Does the Control Center Device Manager function? Often any attempt to use that module causes the desktop to almost screech to a halt. Requests to view devices is really slow. There is a noticeable lag/latency when using the mouse wheel to scroll the list. Probably related but there is significant .xsession-errors log spew of [FIXME] UNCLASSIFIED DEVICE messages. Is the tdelibs/tdebase TDEHWLIB compile option the way to disable that module? Thanks for your time! D.A

Kate Sort Plugin
by Darrell Anderson 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

Hi All, For Kate there is a tdeaddons sort plugin. Does sorting selected text/rows/lines work for anybody else? If yes, is there a specific mantra to be sung to get the plugin to sort selected text? The original README explicitly states "Sorts selected rows or whole file." The handbook says likewise with "Sort allows sorting a text file or selection of text." For me the plugin ignores any selections. When the dialog appears the selection is emptied and sorts the entire document. Sorting the characters of a word or phrase also fails. The dialog automatically populates the column fields but then fails to sort the selected text. Please let me know if the plugin is broken or I am missing the big picture. Thanks for your time! D.A.

Abrupt virtual desktop switching
by Darrell Anderson 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Hi All, I use two virtual desktops. The majority of usage is with the first desktop. Occasionally any simple mouse pointer movement on the first desktop throws the focus into virtual desktop 2. The mouse is nowhere near the panel workspace switcher/pager. No data but the abrupt switch seems to occur after the desktop has been idle for a while. Screen saver is set to 10 minutes blank screen. The panel workspace switcher/pager applet scroll wheel cycling is disabled and I am certain I am not touching the scroll wheel or mouse buttons. I tried different mice. I tried different mouse pointers and currently use the System theme option until finding the root cause. Desktop-->Behavior-->Mouse Button Actions are configured to No Action/No Action/Desktop Menu. Desktop-->Taskbar-->Actions: Show Task List/Activate Task/Show Operations Menu. Desktop-->Panels-->Appearance-->Advanced Options: Applet Handles configured to Visible, Fade out, or Hide makes no difference Any insight or help appreciated. Thanks for your time! D.A

Missing GTK option in Trinity Control Center (Arch)
by Wirlaburla 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Hi. I've been missing the GTK appearance options in the Trinity Control Center since R14.0.13, and I haven't a clue why. To be honest, I haven't really dug super deep into debugging, but nothing obvious seems to pop up. It's just missing, and kcontrol doesn't even complain about it. Pacman shows I have the gtk engines installed: $ pacman -Q | grep tde-gtk tde-gtk-qt-engine 14.0.13-2 tde-gtk3-tqt-engine 14.0.13-1 Building the packages myself didn't work and I have tried this on a fresh install to no avail. I know it should exist, as I have a raspberry pi running Arch ARM that has the option there clear as day (Thanks for the ARM builds by the way). Perhaps a bad package? I'd appreciate any help. -- Nick G. / Wirlaburla

Mouse pointer acceleration is too fast
by Darrell Anderson 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi All, Is there a way to fine control mouse pointer movement within TDE (not with xorg.conf.d)? I have acceleration set to 1.0. The pointer begins accelerating immediately with little motion from my hand. I have tried manually editing the kcminputrc file to less than 1.0 acceleration, but that does not slow the acceleration. I'll settle for work-arounds if they exist. Thanks for your time! D.A

Root shell in konsole dies after one failed login attempt
by Stefan Krusche 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

Good Day everyone, I still wonder, after all those years, how to configure root login shell in konsole to ask again and not just die when I mistyped the password. Konsole is launched with the arguments "su --login" or "su --login -c 'mc -c'". 'su' in a USER shell also dies after one login attempt. So, it seems, su needs to be configured. But it is hard for me to see through su/pam configuration. Any help or hint is muchly appreciated. Thanks and kind regards, Stefan

Copy/Paste Clipboard question
by Michael 24 Jan '23

24 Jan '23

Is this a bug with TDE? Or does every clipboard do this? - Open Firefox, load a website - Copy the URL - Paste it into a blank Kwrite (works) - Close Firefox - You can no longer paste the URL anywhere Not a real biggy, just wondering. Best, Michael
