No feedback when rceives imap mail
by Thierry de Coulon 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello all, I've got a little problem. At work they recently changed their email system for Office365. I did manage to setup an imap account in kmail, and this account works, BUT: When I get a message there, I get no notification. While all other accounts get their messages in Inbox, or the relevent directory indicated there is mail, the imap account shows nothing, so if I don't think to look I may miss important messages. I had found a workaround by setting up Thunderbird on a raspberry pi. Thunderbird autoconfigures for this account (of course at work they did not give me the informations to connect, as we are supposed to be using MacOS or Windows with application that don't require these) and I forwarded the messages to my regular mail account. However Thunderbird is a nightmare when it comes to changing the password, and the work password must be changed every month... so for the time being Thunderbird no more forwards anything. I'll take a look at Evolution for the pi, but it would actually be easier if I could just get informed that a mail arrived on the imap account. Am I missing some setup, or is it normal that imap doesn't give any feedback (I normaly use pop for my accounts). Thierry

Using Snap with TDE
by Edward 17 May '21

17 May '21

Thunderbird 78.10.1 was released almost two weeks ago and Debian has not updated the package as of last night. The other day, I installed Snap (via the Debian 'snapd' package) to try to install the Thunderbird package via Snap. Although the Snap Thunderbird package appeared to install (no errors were displayed during installation), it was not on any of the TDE menus afterward. Is there a trick to having packages installed through Snap to display on the appropriate TDE menu? Thanks in advance. -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Matroska-Theora video playing
by Echedey López Romero 08 May '21

08 May '21

Good afternoon from Spain, I have checked Kaffeine, Noatun, Kaboodle, Codeine and KMplayer as video players for Matroska contained Theora videos. In Kaffeine and KMplayer I got the audio playing but in any of them the full video was supported. I wanted to know if there was some support being worked in format support in any of the video players and which was the most promisings. As a workaround, I changed the container of the videos to OGV using ffmpeg built-in "copy codec" which got the video working at least in Kaffeine (KMplayer has some issues changing the size of the window and only a part of the video is showed). -- Regards, Echedey, Lopez Romero () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

How to configure Hotkey combination for konsole session
by Stefan Krusche 07 May '21

07 May '21

Good Day Everyone, I want to change a hotkey combination ( Win + T ) that I have been using for a specific konsole session. When I assign that combination to another program via kmenuedit, it gets "assigned" but when hit, only the previously assigned konsole session gets started. I remember that kmenuedit used to issue a warning when one tried to use a hotkey combination which had already been assigned, but reassigns it anyway when told to do so (click OK). That didn't happen now when I assigned the hotkey combination that has been in use to start that konsole session to another application. Now, I can't seem to remember how and where I configured TDE to use the above-mentioned key-combo (Win+T) to that specific konsole session. I can't find that key-combo in kmenuedit either anymore. Has anybody an idea or hint how/where hotkey combos für konsole sessions could also be configured? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks. Kind regards, Stefan

KMail SSL vs TLS
by Mike Bird 06 May '21

06 May '21

KMail account setup security settings includes a dialog of which the upper part looks like the attached image. Now my understanding is that TLS is basically a newer version of SSL. TLS 1 was reportedly just a minor improvement on SSL 3. However that is not the way these options seem to behave. I'm starting to think that the "SSL" option actually uses SSL or TLS, and the "TLS" option is actually to use STARTTLS. STARTTLS ia a magic command used in an unencrypted session to spawn a new encrypted session. For example with IMAP it kinda switches you up from port 143 to port 993. So is the "TLS" option actually TLS or is it STARTTLS? Thanks, --Mike

Odd behaviour of spam filtering in Kmail
by J Leslie Turriff 05 May '21

05 May '21

Does anyone have suggestions as to why my spam filters in Kmail are marking almost everything as spam? Is there a preferred position for the spam filters in Settings => Configure filters... (First/Last/Other in the list)? (I currently have them positioned first.)

kmail as default for non-TDE apps
by Thierry de Coulon 03 May '21

03 May '21

Sorry to use this forum that way, but I know someone here is bound to know the answer (I've been searching... without finding the correct answer). I use kmail as my email client. It's set up as default email client in TDE but other programs don't look there and start thunderbird. xdg-settings does not list anything for "default email client". Anyone know how to make non-tde programs (In this case Vivaldi) learn to use kmail? Thierry

Upgrade, XDG compatibility, error 6, amarok?
by Mike Bird 03 May '21

03 May '21

My laptop upgraded fine but my wife's, which has the same software load except no development stuff, reported an error about XDG compatibility(?). The error was three lines of text in a pop up window. I was unable to copy them to present here. A filename was mentioned which was probably: /var/tmp/tdecache-margaret/r14-xdg-update-validation-test6.txt which contains: Application=kde-amarok.desktop Application=kde-amarok.desktop Application=kde-amarok.desktop Upon clicking "Okay" I was presented with another dozen or so lines of text which mentioned error 6. At the time this occured the relevant portion of the process tree looked like this: 10177 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/tdm 10184 tty7 Ssl+ 0:07 \_ /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -br -deferglyphs 16 -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-uEKeQa 10390 ? S 0:00 \_ -:0 12358 ?

TDE R14.0.10 released, new target R14.0.11 will start soon...
by Slávek Banko 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hi all, now, after the release of R14.0.10, we are going to open a window to work on R14.0.11. There are already several pull-requests that were already merged. And also our translators do not stop translating, when 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 R14.0.10, the building of packages for Debian 7.x (Wheezy) and Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan) will be stopped. So the upcoming R14.0.11 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 R14.0.11 preliminary packages on May 9th. Thank you for your attention :) Cheers -- Slávek
