TDE Control Center is replacing utf8 characters in ~/.bashrc with trash
by Stefan Krusche 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi all, I found that TCC does overwrite ~/.bashrc. From my level of proficiency that is a no-go and should not happen at all, especially not without informing the user. What happens: All utf8 characters in .bashrc get replaced with strange characters when GTK2 Fonts are changed from the TCC GUI. Reproduce: I can reproduce this behaviour on my system by simply changing the configuration in TCC -> Appearance and Themes -> GTK Style and Fonts -> GTK2 Fonts: from "Use my TDE fonts" to "Use another font" or the other way around. I confirmed this misbehaviour within a new, pristine user account with a default debian .bashrc where I inserted three lines with utf8 characters: $ diff utf8.bashrc utf8-mangled.bashrc --- utf8.bashrc 2022-01-18 10:21:23.700348782 +0100 +++ utf8-mangled.bashrc 2022-01-18 10:31:59.659323727 +0100 @@ -3,11 +3,11 @@ # for examples -# Test Umlaut a: >ä< +# Test Umlaut a: >Ã¤< -# Test long hyphen: >–< +# Test long hyphen: >â< -# Test Euro currency symbol: >€< +# Test Euro currency symbol: >â¬< # If not running interactively, don't do anything case $- in Additional information: When the users .bashrc is owned by root then in ~/.xsession-errors of the user is reported this: [2022/01/18 10:24:59.374] TQFile::writeBlock: File (/home/user/.bashrc) not open (where "user" is the actual user name) Can anyone confirm this? I would then bugreport this phenomenon. Cheers, Stefan PS: I have been seeing this for years and never had a clue as to what causes it, phew! Now I caught it by accident just by observing the almost concurrent incidence of the phenomenon and changing GTK2 fonts in TCC.

POP!OS and bug reporting
by Philip Ashmore 27 Jan '22

27 Jan '22

hi there. I tried reporting a bug but was told: "Username or password is incorrect." Keen to proceed, I clicked on the password reset button and dutifully entered my email address. Then the web page stated that an email would be sent to me within 3 hours. That was days ago. By the way the bug was that installing TDE on POP!OS renders the installation unbootable, possibly something about POP!OS using systemd-boot. Thoughts?

default directories names mangled
by deloptes 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

As I was reading in a thread "File Manager" about the standard XDG folders. I was wondering where I can file a bug. The bug is that on my desktop where I have installed KDE in 2002 I have the XDGs dirs properly displayed and in TCC they show up fine On a newly installed TDE (14.1) I have mangled characters and if I open TCC change something and press "Apply" it creates directories with ??????? From my experience the first one is double converted and the second one is in ASCII If I delete the directories in Konqueror they are recreated with mangled immediately. So who I see actually two bugs here - the one in TCC and the other in konqueror Can someone advise?

Permanent task locations?
by Michael 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

In the task bar you can move tasks’ positions forwards and back (Only if they are single items.). Is there anyway to set a permanent location for them? I’d like KMail to always be in position 1, and Konsole in position 2, Kwrite in 3, ... Currently if KMail gets closed and re-started then I have to [close all additional open messages and] move it back to the beginning of the task bar [and then re-open all the messages I just closed]. Just a irreverent wish... Best, Michael

Well, that didn't last long
by tde＠cwm030.com 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

I rebooted, and took step by step photos of how I installed Debian. ( PS that email is stuck in moderation due to its size) Rebooted logged back in and nothing would open like the CHRIS folder or the trash can. I had earlier today ( a couple hours ago ) sat Thunar as my default file manager, and everything was working GREAT! I switched everything back to Konq but now I am getting " DCOP ERRORS" every time I click on anything. The only thing that doesn't throw up an error is Firefox ESR. I am trying to decide now, do I want to give TDE another shot, or go back to LXDE? I am in the process of salvaging my data and backing it up to nextcloud now. Chris

File Manager
by c. marlow 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi, What file manager am I supposed to be using? When clicking on the CHRIS folder on my desktop, PCMANFM open. Is that correct? If its not, what do I do to change it? I noticed that with PCMANFM, that it keeps recreating folders in my /home folder at log in that I had previously deleted. Folders like Documents, Templates, Music etc. If PCMANFM is the correct file manager, how do I stop PCMFM from recreating those folders? Thanks, Chris

KMAIL: Which one do I use for rules?
by c. marlow 21 Jan '22

21 Jan '22

Hi Ya'll! WOW switching to KMAIL was EASY! I exported the folders one at a time from Claws by going to FILE > EXPORT FOLDER TO MBOX ( I believe it was?) And then in KMAIL I went to FILE > IMPORT and select the 2nd option for MBOXES and viola! done. My question is now, which option do I use for Filters? POP filtering? under SETTINGS > CONFIGURE POP FILTERS or MESSAGE > CREATE FILTER Background Info: ALL POP accounts Thanks, Chris

TDE Installation
by c. marlow 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

aka the Dan Youngquist method: Dan states in a recent email, that the way he installs TDE would be to install a MINIMAL XFCE installation and then install TDE Somebody stated you could install XFCE or MATE and then install TDE. What I have burned to a USB stick does not offer a minimal XFCE installation It only offers a full blown installation.. I think it's because Debian offers the mini iso version first, instead of the CD / DVD version first. And also, what I have burnt to a USB stick automatically comes with drivers. I accidentally downloaded the wrong Debian for my great aunts pc and it couldn't find the wireless card and I was like uh oh, and I had to go redownload Debian's ISO that had the drivers baked in to the ISO. I found this page: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ Would downloading the CD or DVD version offer me the minimal xfce installation? Thanks, Chris
