TDE R14.0.11 released, new target R14.0.12 will start soon...
by Slávek Banko 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hi all, I would like to thank for all your echo, echo, echo,... You are also who helps the development go forward! Thanks to the development team, mirrors and infrastructure managers, translators, and also users whose testing and reporting issues is also an important part. It is great that we have such a coherent community here. Now, after the release of R14.0.11, we are going to open a window to work on R14.0.12. There are already several pull-requests that are waiting to merge. And also our translators do not stop translating, where the translations will also be merged into the upcoming release. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. The packages in both repositories will be identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Along with the release of R14.0.11, the building of packages for Debian 8.x (Jessie) and Ubuntu 14.04.x (Trusty) will be stopped. So the upcoming R14.0.12 will no longer be available for these distributions - the packages will not be available in the PSB repository. If you are still using one of these distributions, you should consider upgrading to a newer version. I intend to begin building R14.0.12 preliminary packages on November 7th. Thank you for your support! Cheers -- Slávek

TDM not starting in Debian Sid (Preliminary Stable)
by Hunter Ellett 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hello friends, I switched from FreeBSD back to Debian for several reasons: * More software (not necessarily just Trinity), especially with flatpaks * More documentation since I continued to have "unsolved mysteries" on FreeBSD * Greater performance and hardware support * GNU/Linux just as free as in freedom as FreeBSD, I was a bit one sided before But I have an issue. I have installed most core components of Trinity (tdebase, tdeaccessibility, tdegraphics etc.) but I always start in a tty when booting. I tried to execute the starttde script but it doesnt work. Furthermore if I add it to .xinitrc and run startx, it doesn't work. If I remove my home .xinitrc file and use startx, the session will start but I can't use TDM at all. Running the script directly is a lot more verbose, telling me that pretty much nothing can connect to the X server. I have seen this talked about before in the ML but it seems like they solved it. I used to use the preliminary testing branch and it worked but I decided to go with stable this time and can't seem to get TDM to work at all. That pesky X server.

No idea if this is significant, but I thought I'd pass it along
by dep 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

Doing my usual daily update/upgrade, I just now encountered this: The following packages have been kept back: kubuntu-default-settings-trinity I presume it's some kind of metapackage and that it has no effect on the functioning of my system. It's the first error of this sort that I've seen in years, though, so I thought I'd pass it along. Am running R14.0.11. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Appimage
by dep 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Greets, everybody . . . I've got a book coming on, and one of the rituals attendant to that is searching for an outliner/organizational application into which I can dump notes and such by chapter and conduct some of the other housekeeping involved. So I've gone through the bespoke applications that supposedly perform these functions and have learned that as with the last book a couple of years ago they all suck. I don't think that anyone involved with any of them has ever written anything for publication -- they've certainly not written anything resembling instructions for use of their applications. One of these applications, a thing called "Joplin," is an appimage. I'd encountered one of these before; Geeqie releases some versions in that form, which I tried. I like Geeqie, but I don't much like appimages, though I'm not sure I can tell you why. So I thought I'd ask here what people think of appimages, both the idea of them and the way they're made and used in practice, in case there's a difference. My vague distaste for them runs counter to reservations I had when moving to Linux from OS/2 and similar DOS-centric operating systems. My complaint then was that with DOS, Windows (at the time a DOS desktop) and OS/2 put a particular application's files all in one directory, Word in \word, Lotus in \lotus, and so on, so banishing an application involved nuking a directory and that was that. (I still think that more things ought to be in their own directories under /opt, and am glad that TDE does this; that prejudice came about when we were building KDE from source a time or two a week and having the whole thing blow up was not unheard of; deleting the failed build and renaming the existing, working version reduced the risk.) Sorry for the digression. Having not given appimages a lot of thought but seeing that they're becoming more common, just thought I'd ask if there are any strong reasons for or against them. Are appimages a good idea for anything beyond test-drive purposes? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Using Message => Edit Message
by J Leslie Turriff 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

When viewing a received message, in the menu bar entry is the Edit Message option, which allows one to modify the mail item's text. Because almost all HTML email uses Sans-Serif fonts (an anethema to me) and Kmail provides no way to override this, I thought that I might be able to use Edit Message to change the imbedded font-family to something more friendly. I can do that, and the result is saved in my Drafts folder, but when I open it I see just the raw HTML; Kmail doesn't seem to want to format it as it did the original. Does anyone know how to make Kmail display such a modified message properly?

X and DPI
by J Leslie Turriff 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

I see on the X.org announcements list <xorg-announce(a)lists.x.org> that "X server [21.1.0] now correctly reports display DPI in more cases. This may affect rendering of client applications that have their own workarounds for hi-DPI screens."
