Marking spam
by J Leslie Turriff 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

When I originally set up Kmail, I used the Spam Wizard to handle spam. It puts it into a folder called 0_Spam? (0_ to keep it near the top of the folder list), but doesn't mark it as 'read' so that I know it's there. I can also use the Message => Apply Filter => Filter Classify as spam action to mark stuff that gets past the regular spam filter. Since at that point I've already decided that it's spam, it would be nice to have it mark it as 'read' in addition to putting it into 0_Spam?; is it possible to do that somehow?

It's not a problem I have seen when using Debian and it's not a TDE problem but hopefully the Debian people can find a solution for you. TDE related questions on the debian list have historicly been ignored. I'll have to see if they can tell me how to do a no gui text install. But first, stash the trinity.list file and the updated keyfile deb some place that will survive the bare metal reinstall. I can't install anything from the repo list until I update the keyfile, the one on your web page has expired or ? IDK. It should be updated to be the new one in the repo.

Do you have a smart phone with a camera and email? no, just a bare bones cell with probably a dead battery. I think it has a camera but a $2 pinhole. its not sharp enough to ID he perp. If so you can if you wish send a pic (not too big) of your screen to the list or to me personally when you first run into a problem and we'll try to figure it out at that point. At this point, I'm waiting for someone on the kde-pim list to tell me how to make kmail5 work. In the meantime I've been unpacking amanda backups by hand trying to recover my email corpus that goes back to about 2002, but can't get kmail5 to see it, or to connect to send. And its strange, I had a whole bunch of konsoles open when I went to bed about 4ish, but I had 12 empty workspaces when I woke up just before 10ish. Something killed everything in the notso wee hours and according to uptime it was NOT rebooted in the night. 32 gigs of memory is good, I ran memtest 2 full cycles before I did the 3rd install.

Gene, Was it the standard Debian Bullseye installer or some variant and if so which? The net-installer with non-free stuff. Which mode did you run it in - expert, guided, other? Expert. Did you get to a screen similar to this? https://tecadmin.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/installing-debian11-image05… Exactly that. Did you check the last (standard utils box) and optionally (your choice) check the penultimate (ssh) box and leave all the other boxes unchecked? You especially do not want the first box (Desktop) checked if you're not installing a Desktop using this installer. gnome desktop was unchecked Is this where it "refused to proceed", if not where? What error did it give when it "refused to proceed"? It didn't, just kept looping back until I selected xfce4. --Mike ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users(a)trinitydesktop.org<mailto:users@trinitydesktop.org> To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)trinitydesktop.org<mailto:users-leave@trinitydesktop.org> Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt…

Gene, What EXACTLY is the first thing that goes wrong after installing a MINIMAL Bullseye when you do PRECISELY WHAT try to install TDE? If you've already installed gdm3 or xfce4 or kde5 I don't want to know. If it's TDE you want why isn't it TDE you're installing? Quit yelling at me Mike. Try looking at the installer and tell me how to install tde from the installer. We are at the mercy of the installer which refused to proceed when I attempted to not install a gui desktop. If you want to yell at somebody, go yell at debian for not offering it. This works fine for a lot of people - I've done it dozens of times - and we don't end up with gdm3 or xfce4 or kde5 when we install TDE. If you try to rip it out later, it even threatens to remove the kernel. And TBT, I'm tired of being yelled at and chastised over what is an installer decision I have no control over even in the expert mode. --Mike ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users(a)trinitydesktop.org<mailto:users@trinitydesktop.org> To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)trinitydesktop.org<mailto:users-leave@trinitydesktop.org> Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@trinitydeskt…

This didn't used to be. I had the installer put xfce4 in for a gui, same as the stretch install on the 2T drive that killed itself, and tde installed and ran nicely alongside of xfce4 on stretch. Now there are only 6 trinity packages that will install without triggering a broken packages lockout. This is the 7nth bare metal install, and with the 1.9Tbyte raid10 taking several hours to format each time, it has not been fun. So atm I am back on kde5 and doing battle with windmills.

Apt repository for Devuan
by Slávek Banko 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi all, if you are using Devuan, you may have noticed with the release of R14.0.9 that there are newly available resources generated for Devuan distribution names in the apt repository. When entering a Trinity repository into the apt sources list, you no longer need to use equivalent Debian distribution names. The packages as such remain the same for both Debian and Devuan, as we still guard to maintain independence from systemd. See https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall Cheers -- Slávek
