Markdown syntax for kate
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 08 Jun '22

08 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 07 Jun '22

07 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

AlmaLinux, fork of CentOS Linux 8 (offtopic)
by Michael 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Anyone used AlmaLinux? https://almalinux.org/ It's suppose to be 1:1 binary compatible with RHEL CentOS Linux 8. I'm thinking of switching some of my CentOS 7 servers to it, so since it seems some of us use TDE on RHEL/CentOS, if any of you had also tried TDE on AlmaLinux, what are your thoughts? Thanks, Michael

[OT] Need help installing Ubuntu on an EFI (not UEFI) machine
by J Leslie Turriff 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Hi, I've been using an EFI (not UEFI) system for years to run OpenSuSE Linux (since I have no Windoze on my machine I saw no reason to fool with UEFI, which had teething problems when I got my motherboard). Now I'm trying to install Ubuntu 20 LTS on a separate drive, but the installer is complaining about EFI and boot partitions. I've searched for help, but all I get is UEFI stuff. I don't want to reset my BIOS because then I wouldn't be able to boot back to my old system if I have problems with Ubuntu. Is anyone here interested in giving me a helping hand? TIA, 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

Camera mounts as Unknown Device
by Thierry de Coulon 31 May '22

31 May '22

I 'm not sure if this is rather a linux or a TDE question. I've got a new Canon Camera. When I connect it to my PC with an USB cable, it is mounted as mass storage (wich is very good). It has two SD cards that appear as two directories in a Konqueror window. So far so good. However, this window says "system:/media/Unknown Device 1-12:1.0" and it is nowhere to be found, not in /media/<user>, not in /mnt, mount also gives me nothing (or I don't know what to look for). So I can't unmount it, I have to turn the camera off. I don't think it's a real problem as the SD cards are exfat formated and I check that nothing's being read/writen, but I'd prefer to unmount. If the system can mount this "Unknown Device 1-12:1.0", it must be somewhere, no? I'm not looking for a way to open the camera in Digikam or so. Coying the files with Konqueror is just what I want, but I'd like a way to know the mounting point. I got the USB IDs so I was thinking of writing some udev rule. lsusb returns Bus 001 Device 012: ID 04a9:32f5 Canon, Inc. but there is no 012 or 12 in /dev/bus/usb...

how to use Kmail with the new Google monster?
by William Morder 25 May '22

25 May '22

Gmail is changing, yet again, so that we cannot use third-party apps. In the past, I have had problems using Kmail with Google stuff, but I changed my account settings to accept "less secure" apps, third-party apps, whatever, and then it was okay again. I finally got round to my Gmail account. I don't really use it much, as I hate Google, but it has been useful to have a Gmail account for some things. I wanted to go into my account and make whatever changes were necessary to make it work, but now I find that I cannot even load Gmail's login pages, account management pages, etc. I can only load help pages and the like. This is true (so far) for every browser I have tried. I have tried enabling all cookies, turning off private browsing, etc.; but my attempts to connect are treated as though I am behind a proxy even when I'm not, or that I am a bot, or something like that. I only use Gmail for "business", by which I mean stuff like shopping, for places like Best Buy and Tiger Direct; since I know that I will get tracked to death there anyway. I have been trying to track down all my important business that uses Gmail, to change them to my Zoho email account, until I can figure out some better, more permanent solution; but I can't even remember all that stuff for which I once put down Gmail as my email address, and haven't thought about it again in a few years. Is there any way to configure Kmail to work with Gmail (i.e., using 2FA or OAuth2, etc.) without having to get into Gmail itself? because, you see, I can't even login on a Gmail page, much less get into my account. And yet, until at least the end of this month, I can still receive Gmail. I imagine some others out there in the TDE universe must also have to confront this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bill
