Kpdf annoyance
by phiebie＠drei.at 28 Apr '22

28 Apr '22

Hi, Whenever I call kpdf to view a pdf-document, it starts as a "small" ribbon of approximately 240x1100 pixels on the top of the desktop. Of course this window can be elongated via mouse actions. Tedious. I altered the kpdf.desktop-file to execute "/opt/trinity/bin/kpdf --geometry 950x1170 --caption "%c"" and now the window is expanded to my liking. But when Slavek releases an alteration to the kpdf package - quite often the case - my .desktop gets overwritten and I get again the ribbon. And must again correct the .desktop-file. Pita. Is there a method to keep this file in "my" state and not overwrite it blindely? The "i" flag is not a viable solution. Rgds. Peter.

Lost TDE Display Manager and other TDE issues after upgrade to Debian 11
by Edward 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

After upgrading to Debian 11 on both of my two systems, upon reboot, I lost the TDE Display Manager. The login screen defaults to whatever Debian itself uses and I have been unsuccessful getting the TDE login manager back. > ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity > tdm.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. Also...during the upgrade, one of the packages it wanted to remove was binutils, which it did. It left a package binutils-common installed, but not upgraded. If I attempted to remove binutils-common, it also wanted to remove numerous Trinity packages. Is there a fix for these issues?? -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

KMail - How to change character encoding?
by Mike Bird 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

When I try to send a message I get the warning shown in the attached image saying not all characters fit into the chosen encoding. Could someone please give me a hint what to do? Normally I would poke around and try to find something but I'm testing some changes to our spam filter by forwarding an 84MB email and with that compose window open my system is just a touch slow right now. Thanks, --Mike

Running a shell script from KMenu
by dep 23 Apr '22

23 Apr '22

Greets, everybody . . . I probably knew how to do this back in the second Bush administration, but I'm confounded by it now. My hope is to add to my KMenu an application -- it's gui and runs on my system -- that is started by a shell script. What I don't know is what to put in the command field in KMenu's entry for the item. In case it matters, the script is /opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui.sh and this is it: #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/dvda-author cd /opt/dvda-author /opt/dvda-author/dvda-author-gui cd - unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH So. Anybody know what I ought to put in the DVD-Author command box in KMenu? DVD-Author appears to be the only foss application for making audio DVDs. Thanks in advance. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Mass edit Menu entries?
by Michael 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hi All, Anyone know how to mass edit all entries in a sub-menu? I’d like to change all of the entries in the Internet sub-menu by adding a ‘nice’ to the beginning of each launch command. Example: firefox %u -to- nice -n 5 firefox %u I’ll want to do most of the other sub-menus, so it’s not just specific to the Internet sub-menu. Also, would these be overwritten by anything (e.g. is there a sticky bit I’d need to set somewhere else?)? Thanks, Michael

kmail "use this email address for answers" broken?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hi all! I just noticed: When I "reply to list", then kmail does not use the email address I specified to be used for answers in this folder. Does that happen to other's, too? My kmail is version 4:14.1.0~s274-0debian12.0.0+10~a, I am quite sure it worked on 14.0.1. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Since some days, when I send an email, I receive immediately this message above : ======== Unable to send message: Sending the message failed because the server rejected the following recipients: (The server replied: "5.7.1 <martine(a)online.fr>: Relay access denied") The message will remain in your Outbox folder until the issue is corrected (e.g. an invalid address) or move it to another folder. The following transport protocol was used: bbox" ======== regardless of the smtp server, yahoo, gmail, free... Others smtp server indicates that my mail is a spam, no, it's a normal private mail. Does it come from kmail-trinity ? Thanks for your help. Cheers André

Android emulator for Linux? [offtopic]
by Michael 08 Apr '22

08 Apr '22

Hi All, Does anyone use an android emulator on Linux that will successfully run current .apks? Background: I just tried Anbox, but it’s apparently been abandoned (2018) and no longer will install new(ish) .apks due to native library problems. Android-x86 and BlissOS just hang in VMs. Shashlik, ARChon, Andro VM, Jar of Beans, and AndyOS are (basically) dead/abandoned. If it will natively install .xapk files that would be a plus? IDK, that could just be one site’s marketing scheme to lock you into their service? Anyway, if you use an android emulator on Linux (preferably in a VM) can you tell me how well it works, and what’s needed to get it to run a current day .apk? Thanks!, Michael

kMail To: helper
by J Leslie Turriff 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hi, When composing an email, typing in the To field causes a list of possible addresses to appear (see attached). There seems to be no way to correct those entries. In the example, I want to change | NetRexx list <netrexx-pipelines(a)lists.sourceforge.net> to | Pipelines <netrexx-pipelines(a)lists.sourceforge.net> because it conflicts with | netrexx(a)groups.io How can I do that?
