Show modifier keys?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

Hi all! Is there an application around that shows the state of the modifier keys (shift, alt, ctrl, the-bad-OS-key, ...)? I'm looking for such a thing to give visual feedback for TDEs sticky keys feature. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

[Leap 15.4] TDM won't start a Plasma Session
by Felix Miata 12 Jun '22

12 Jun '22

This is 100% repeatable on 2 different PCs, one using AMD GPU, the other NVidia GPU, both with only FOSS drivers. When attempt is made to start a Plasma Xorg session from TDM, a window pops up that seems to have come from Trinity, not KDE, but that's just my suspicion. It says General (tab) We are sorry, klauncher closed unexpectedly. You cannot report this error, because klauncher does not provide a bug reporting address. Details: Executable: klauncher PID: 1029 Signal: Segmentation fault (11) Time.... Developer Information (tab) The debugger application is missing or could not be launched.

(try using --replace) Does this suggest where the fault lies, whether something wrong with TDE, or KDE? Is there a possibility this results from a defective switch from Trinity beta from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/PunisherHD:/Trinity:/stable… on beta Leap to the final Leap and François' build of Trinity?

touchpad, tapping
by Greg Madden 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

I have a new Lenovo Legion 5. Lots of new configuring. AFAIK, TDE does not offer touchpad configuration. Basic scroll, left and right clicks work. I want to enable more functions for the touchpad, particularly tapping. libinput "input device management and event handling library" handles this. Not wanting, if possible, to edit config files. greg

Re: After installing Leap 15.4, zypper and YaST can't see repositories. [SOLVED]
by J Leslie Turriff 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

My mistake; apparently I had recently set environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy to 127.0.0.1:8118. (Why? I dunno.) Clearing them fixed the problem.

After installing Leap 15.4, zypper and YaST can't see repositories.
by J Leslie Turriff 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

Hello, I sent this message to the openSUSE support list, but I'm sending it here as well, because it appears that TDE Proxy settings might also be involved. In KControlCenter => Internet & Network => Proxy, I had at some time set up Manual Proxy Configuration (see snapshot); even though Proxy is set to Connect to the Internet directly, Trinity seems to be using that manual configuration? Also, when I try to clear the IP address and port fields in the Manual Proxy Configuration window, it complains that 'the settings are invalid', so I can't get rid of them. Leslie ------------------------------- I have been having trouble getting zypper and YaST to see the openSUSE repositories from Leap 15.3, and now after installing Leap 15.4 into newly formatted partitions as well. I'm getting a message that tells me that they are trying to communicate with privoxy, which uses port 8118: | ~ | ● zypper ref | Retrieving repository 'Update Repository (Non-Oss)' metadata ....................................................................................................

Using DigiKam with a Samsung Tablet
by J Leslie Turriff 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hi, Does anyone here know how to use DigiKam to download images from a Samsung tablet? After plugging the tablet in via USB cable, the removable media tool pops up with two options: Open in New Window, and Open DigiKam. Selecting Open in New Window does nothing; when DigiKam is selected, I get its main window, but no files are displayed, and there seems to be no way to navigate the tablets file system. Suggestions are welcome. Leslie -- Operating System: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.3 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.12 tde-config: 1.0

Markdown syntax for kate
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Hi all! I just found a working syntax highlighting of markdown files for kate. Original comes from https://github.com/claes/kate-markdown , I just added the fileextension *.mdwn for ikiwiki. To try it out: decompress the attached markdown.xml.xz and copy it to /opt/trinity/share/apps/katepart/syntax/ , then restart kate and open an arbitrary markdown file (github readme.md ...) If this works for otheres, too, I'd suggest to add the file to TDE :) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

The 26th debian 11-3 install is about to take place
by gene heskett 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Between blltty, orca and the new kde, I'm admitting defeat. if I do a grfx install at all, what can I use thats compatible with tde, so I can install it without using some of Alfreds finest dynamite to demolish whats there and actually install tde. For that I'll need a trinity.list file for debians /etc/apt/sources.d directory too. The last time I tried this, in late october of 2021 the first tde package created a dependency hell that would have torn the system down, needing yet another install to fix. I'm not kidding, the dependencies would have removed libc6 and all its helpers. So the first question is how do I install tde to debian-11-3? Thank you.

Trinity app buttons have strange bars
by Dave Lers 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

I just installed Raspberry Pi OS Lite bullseye and tdebase-trinity 14.0.12 raspbian-bullsey on a Raspberry Pi 3 B. All the clickable buttons have a bunch of bars running across their faces. This appears to affect all Trinity apps, Firefox is fine. Hopefully the image is worth a thousand words because I'm having zero luck on searches. Dave
