I see this error popup on various installations. The instant one is a 32bit
Bookworm freshly upgraded from Bullseye with 14.0.12. Bullseye does it too. The
trigger is left clicking on the menu starter. On those where it ever occurs, it
only happens once. Trying again after dismissing the popup always works. Anyone
familiar with it, what to do to eliminate it?

Sometime since 2023-11-10, when it was created, an email thread with
this title disappeared from my email client. Fortunately I had the
presence of mind to copy to a text file the contents of that thread; so
the content was not lost.
Three people also contributed to this thread, Mike Bird, Thierry de
Coulon and Peter. I hope that they at least still have that that thread
so they will know what it am talking about in this posting, as it is a
continuation of that thread and would not have been possible without
their collective help.
I was able to download from the desktop computer a copy of file
‘.xsession-errors’. It is attached to this posting, all 924 linesof it,
with the title ‘TDE-xsession-errors.odt’, no more dot and everybody has
permission to read it. Interestingly enough, the ‘.xsession-errors’
file for the laptop contains only 894 lines.
After examining the desktop .xsession-errors of all the possibility for
errors which could cause TDE not to open, I was able to identify only
one, the UID. The .xsession-errors used 1001 as the UID. At some point
I changed my default UID from 1001 to 1000. (The UID on the
.xsession-errors for the laptop is and always was 1000.)
In view of the foregoing I think the best thing for me to do now is to
reinstall Bookworm and TDE completely. For Thierry’s information both
computers have four partitions, boot/efi, root (/), /var and /home which
is encrypted. I no longer have a swap; I had them since 2008 in several
computers – but never were they ever used. ‘Partition’ /tmp is now part
of tmpfs and set up as so by a line in the /etc/fstab file.
In retrospect, the original message – Call to lnusertemp failed
(temporary directories full ?). Check your installation. – was
misleading. If my analysis herein is correct a full temporary directory
is not the issue. The command lnusertemp, if it is a command, could
refer to a UID number; which it could not do for the desktop but could
for the laptop.
One final comment. I will not be able to do the reinstalments before 26
November. I will report results when done.

In mid-October last I installed in a desktop computer Debian Bookworm
and TDE. After the installation I was able successfully to transfer the
source of the operating system from the CD disk to the built-in source.
After opening the OS from the local source I installed an application
and was able to use it. I also made some adjustments to the TDE
‘kicker’. I then closed the computer for the night.
The next morning I expected to open the computer without difficulty. So
I opened it and got as far as the ‘Login to TDE’ window. I entered my
password. Instead of opening the TDE I received the following message:
Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?).
Check your installation.
As of this point the only access I had to the computer was by a ‘console
login’.
Fortunately I had a spare laptop without any operating system installed.
I consequently installed on it the same OS and TDE. This time I did
not receive the message quoted above. In time I was able to install all
the applications I wanted and adjust the kicker and other TDE features
to my liking. While I have been using the laptop for several weeks now,
I would like to be able to use the desktop.
I did however do an online search; all I found were a few posts about
this message dated on average ten years ago. A few made reference to
the possible absence of KDE files, a diagnosis which I did not think
relevant. Others made reference to having the right permissions.
Without however complete access to the desktop it was difficult to check
permissions of ‘temporary directories’. Directories which appeared to
me relevant and where I was able to see the permissions in both
computers, all were identical.
I cannot understand why what appears to me as identical installations in
both computers would not work in both. How can I ‘check the
installation’ if access to the computer is so restricted?
All help, suggestions, etc. will be gratefully received.

Dear TDE users list,
This is a problem probably outside of TDE. I often use ImageMagick import
to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With
previous installations, up to openSUSE 15.2 (and TDE), I have always been
able to enter something like:
import test.ppm
and then either use for example Ctrl+F4 or Alt+Tab to switch to a
different desktop or window. However, with openSUSE 15.4 (tested with TDE
and LXDE) after entering the command for import the keyboard freezes and I
cannot switch desktop or window, neither I can exit import by pressing
Ctrl+C. The mouse still works and I can still take a screenshot of
whatever is on the screen. However, this makes it more combersome to take
a screenshot. The interesting thing is that it seems like whatever I type
on the keyboard is "queued" and executed once import exits (by drawing a
rectangle with the mouse). So eventually it still switches but only after
import is done.
If anybody has encountered this same problem and has a possible solution,
I would be glad to hear.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Hey all.
Is there a project roadmap that is updated? Mostly looking to see the projects perspectives on things like Wayland for example?
I know that X11 is still around, but its development isn't exactly lively anymore. Most of the team has migrated over to Wayland which is catching up quick. Im curious to see how a project such as this could tackle such an issue.
Hi!
The distribution openSUSE 15.4 will be supported until the end of
November. I wonder how long the TDE packages for openSUSE 15.4 (the
current ones are R14.1.0) will be available online and can be downloaded
past the official end of support of the distribution?
Thanks!
Gianluca

Re Tde on Freebsd
Please note
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this request, if it is not could you inform me
or move to to the correct place
Background
I built tde from ports then put the resulting packages onto a usb stick
Then by editing Freebsd.conf to read from the usb I was able to install tde onto another machine from the usb
In the same way as if it was a linux machine
Request
Therefore as you (TDE) have to do the same
ie: build to ensure they compile ok
it would mean you have tde freebsd source & packages
Could you then treat these packages the same as you do the linux ones
ie make available via http(s)
All a freebsd user would have to do then is add it (the http(s) info ) to Freebsd.conf as a repo & install tde the same as any other freebsd desktop pkg
This would also mean we don't have to wait for freebsd to decide to host tde packages
