Two things, both on the same basic machine, a dell 7010

by Gene Heskett

Greetings all; 1. I was forced by an errant mill table trapping and crushing my last logitech K360 keyboard with a different keyboard, one which has a row of buttons across the top/rear that among other things includes a power switch, and another that apparently makes it hibernate. It is virtually impossible to pick up this keyboard and take it the 3 or 4 feet to the machine without inadvertently pressing one or more of these buttons. None of them are of any use around potentially dangerous machinery. This is a row of buttons above the F buttons which the control program running the machine makes liberal use of. I need to completely disable that whole row of buttons, or find a source of logitech NOS K-360's. How can I do that? Second, some debian ID10T has decreed that F10 is to bring up a useless to me menu, meaning the exit from mc now demands I find and pick up the $%#@&& mouse and use it to click on the F10 button at the bottom right of the mc screen. Where, in TDE do I find where that hijacking is being done so I can turn it off so I can run mc from the keyboard like I've been doing for 22 years? Thanks all.

Re: GTK 3 TQt Engine Styles

by dep

said Hunter: | GTK3 is an eyesore, but I guess Qt5 is as well. First, I'm on the list, so you needn't cc me. Second, just look at the latest Plasma desktop. It does nothing worth doing that KDE3 didn't do, but it makes those things far more complicated and difficult. In KDE3/TDE, if you want to add an application to Kicker, you drag it there. The end. In current KDE, there's a whole wad of incomprehensible crap you have to go through, and none of it is optional. Nor is this anything new. When the late, unlamented KOffice was coming along, it had filters that would import many file formats -- but not save in them! It would save only in its own little format, which made it entirely useless if the document were to be sent to anyone else. (It wasn't even good for documents you intended to print onto actual physical paper, because KPrinter kinda sucked (this was pre-CUPS). The boys were happy with themselves while users were wondering what the hell the boys were thinking. Asked about it, the boys would reply that if you weren't happy, you were free to write something else. This what I mean when I refer to "enthusiast development." You may or may not have been around during the great Qt war. Gnome had been rumored and promised for a long time and then, in the middle of 1998, along came KDE 1.0 and right out of the box it was great. But it wasn't reported or discussed as such. Instead, it was always "it will do until Gnome gets released." Then came the "and Qt isn't free" cries of doctrinal impurity, that on a whim Troll Tech could kill KDE or make people pay for it or something (as if the trolls were, say, going to become the reprehensible Darl McBride of Caldera). The trolls freed up Qt, at least to the extent that it was no longer even an imagined risk to KDE. Ah, but Gnome is going to be so great! Leading the charge in many ways was Miguel deIcaza, a brilliant programmer and along with Nat Friedman founder of Ximian. (I still have and occasionally wear one of their teeshirts, though I like my Progeny Linux Systems teeshirt more, because it draws comments from a better class of people, the Debian snobs.) Miguel truly is brilliant -- he's the guy who wrote Midnight Commander, a quarter century later still the single most essential application on any Linux machine. And he and Nat are really nice guys; I spent some time with them during the Ximian days, at their office in Boston. But they were both influential and unfair in their appraisal of KDE and Qt. Let it be noted that they both work now, as they have for years, at that bastion of free and open-source software, Microsoft. Much of that is an aside; my point is that the QT suspicion remains, which is the chief reason that Gnome and GTK are taken seriously. But another of the reasons is the attitude by the KDE developers. I remember when the KMail addressbook was a simple, human-editable text file comprising name and email address. (This was when just about everything in Linux was configured by simple, human-editable text files, the passing of which I still mourn. Opening a file in a text editor and scrolling down to change the value of "scrollbar-width=10" gave users enormous power that we no longer have.) The boys decided to make it more elaborate and simply eliminate support for the old format. That was bad enough; worse, their brilliant new addressbook *didn't work*! I remember staying up nights hacking the new KMail to get it to use the old addressbook. The boys not only didn't like this, they were snotty in their boasting about their new addressbook which, again, *didn't work*. They took the same attitude when they made the (fatal, in my estimation) file format decision in KOffice; by the time that got sorted out we had StarOffice, then OpenOffice, then OpenOffice.org, and finally LibreOffice. Perhaps realizing that the Gnomes had no fair criticisms of KDE to offer, the boys set about creating some entirely fair criticisms of KDE. So now both desktops in their current manifestations do whatever they damn well please rather than allow users choices in these things. Gnome can do it because, hey, it's Gnome and freeeeeee unlike Qt-tainted KDE; KCE does it because the boys will be the boys. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

GTK 3 TQt Engine Styles

by Hunter

I use a GTK 3 application ("Revolt" on Debian/Devuan) and its titlebar is so ugly. I tried to use my TDE style for it in "GTK Styles and Fonts" and it only makes it worse. GTK 2 applications look much nicer with Tqt3 integration, but GTK 3... It's an eyesore no matter what, to say the least. This brings me to my question - is there any way to make GTK 3 apps integrate more nicely into TDE? I have gtk3-tqt-engine-trinity installed but there's only the default style available or use my TDE theme for it (which breaks it and makes it look worse).

Logitech USB Volume Not Changing

by Edward

I have Logitech USB stereo headphones with boom mic plugged into USB. If I use its in-line control to change the volume, a volume indicator appears on-screen. The progress bar is blue when the volume is at the low setting, then gradually changes to white when the volume is increased. Except, the volume coming out of the headphones, is not changing. If I need to adjust the volume, I must launch the PulseAudio Volume Control and change it there. Is what I'm describing above, the correct behavior? It would seem that when the volume is increased with the in-line control, the actual volume coming out of them /should/ increase? Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

TDE Freezing on FreeBSD 13

by Hunter

I've had a great time using Trinity on FreeBSD but I've been plagued by this issue since I installed it.. Trinity likes to freeze randomly and I can only fix the problem by going into a tty and using top to kill Xorg (and take me back to TDM). It happens sometimes after resuming from suspend (using zzz) and, more seldom, when the desktop is active. It's happened when I'm browsing Firefox, on Kmail, and playing games on Steam. The mouse continues to move but I can't interact with anything. This happens just often enough that it's an annoyance. Does anybody have any idea what causes this? -- - Hunter, aka hunter0one

Around Rachael Ray Nutrish

by abigailholland25＠gmail.com

Currently possessed by J.M. Smucker, Rachael Ray Nutrish Can Be a star manufacturer Made by Ainsworth Pet Nutrition. After Ainsworth and star chef Rachael Ray awakened to generate the newest at 2008, your pet-food universe was ready for shift. Even the 2007 pet-food remembers had left consumers leery of their business and so were embracing smaller, more independent organizations seeking safe products to their pets. Ainsworth had focused on the significance market, but knew it was not any more replaceable. Consumers were proceeding towards"super-premium" foods and Ainsworth had to locate a wise solution to move in that space. They picked star chef Rachael Ray while the ambassador of this transition. Rachael Ray's warm, fuzzy, friendly character and people love of creatures made her an perfect face for Ainsworth's very first venture in to the top Petfood space. The food has been, and isalso promoted as superior food that is cheap for the average consumer. Back in 2017, it had been called the US's fastest-growing pet-food . J.M. Smucker is your Huge conglomerate that possesses Meow Mix, 9Lives, along with Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Pet Foods. It is also included with philanthropy. Some of the profits from each Nutrish sale is given towards the Rachael Ray Foundation. Along with the Yum O! Sourcing And Manufacturing Their wet foods are created in Thailand. The Majority of These components have been sourced by the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Rachael Ray Nutrish asserts that not one in their ingredients have been derived from China, however, remember that many artificial minerals, vitamins, and proteins result in China. Within decades of producing those supplements, China has created a solid safety record and there isn't any sign they're poor to those made everywhere.

TDE with FreeBSD

by Edward

I have always wanted to try BSD, but I never found an image that also included installing a GUI like Linux. Is there a BSD image/LiveCD-DVD somewhere that also installs TDE as the desktop? Debian also offered a FreeBSD install image with GUI at one point, but it is no longer offered as of Debian 8. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience. TDE: R14.0.10 - Debian: 10.10 (amd64)
