It looks like "Plastic" uses windows background color / default forground color for the active tab, but button background color / default forground color for the inactive tabs - see attached screenshot. Is there a way to make it use button background color / button forground color for inactive tabs? Or is this a limitation of TQT?

Hi Nigel,
Not having sudo (Debian and su here) I can't reproduce your problem.
In my tede however, konqueror as root is started a different way:
konqueror --profile filemanagement
but it it is started as root (advanced options -> Run as a different user ->
root)

Hi Thierry,
Thanks for your reply.
Which TDE version do you have on your Debian install? Mine is TDE R14.0.9
which has only recently been released according to Slavek.
To get konquerorsu on the desktop menu you need to go to
/opt/trinity/share/applications/tde/konquerorsu.desktop obviously as root.
Open the konquerorsu.desktop file in a text editor. At the bottom of the file
there is an entry "NoDisplay=true" . That is why it's not by default on the
desktop menu. Change true to false. Save the changes. Log out and Log back
in and you will see on the menu list for "System" at the top of the list a
new entry "Superuser" which extends to "File Manager - Super User Mode"
That is what I clicked on, entered my password and discovered that konquerorsu
was not working. It does work on my other distros.
So next I tried it from Konsole as you correctly said, using in my case
"sudo konqueror --profile filemanagement"
Same result. Konqueror opened but showing no directories as on the screeshot
that I attached last time.
Let me know which TDE version you are using.
I think I'll post this problem to the devels list as it's beginning to look
like a bug in R14.0.9
Thanks again for you reply and stay safe,
Nigel.
I want to print some pages from a British magazine I'm subscribed to (Linux Format), but
the pages, of course, are size A4, but I'm in the USA and my paper is smaller. It seems
to me that there was a "shrink-to-fit" option somewhere (I thought in KPDF), but I can't
find it.
Your thoughts?

Correction; it just takes a looong time to load the entire magazine, and there's no
feedback while it does so.
However, once it's loaded, the Print Preview button gives me the option of shrinking
pages by a percentage, but not 'shrink-to-fit'; and it's not clear if that applies to the
actual printing, or just to the previewing.

Xubuntu 16.04.7 with TDE R14.0.9
Problem:
Konqueror in superuser mode opens with menu and location bar but no view,only
a blank area where all the directories should be. Doh! See attached
screenshot.
From the start:
I changed the bottom of the desktop file (hide) from true to false so that
konqueror su would show on the menu.
Clicked on the icon and password requester opened. entered password which it
said was wrong, then saw it wanted root password.
Next installed Tdesudo and tried it again. Password ok now and konqueror
opened but devoid of any content.
Next started it from Konsole with a bunch of errors on the output and the same
visual result when konquerorsu opened. see attachment
Konsole-output-no-view-on-16.04.7.txt
The other attachment is from opening it from Konsole on my 12.04 install. It
shows a few errors but konquerorsu works fine as it always has done on other
installs including my old Fedora Core 3 with KDE 3.4.2-1.fc3.1.legacy Red Hat
that I'm mailing from.
Anybody with a solution to the problem?
I don't know if you will get this as I've been unable to move my subscription
from the old list to the new one.

This is my favourite PDF-viewer and as such I have in my mimeinfo.cache
the entry "application/pdf=kpdf.desktop". Works perfect....until I
update libreoffice-draw or google-chrome. At that moment the kpdf-entry
gets erased and instead of it 'draw' or 'chrome' appears or even both.
And I have to correct this entry manually again and again.
Is there a possibility to add in the installscript of kpdf the same
mechanism as in chrome and draw - a delete/replace statement?
Regards, Peter.
I followed the link to Ubuntu Live CD's with Trinity Desktop (http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/) where I found two versions of a Live CD:
tde-14.0.8-ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Apr-27 23:16:49 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image
and
tde-14.0.9-ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso 2020-Nov-06 04:36:35 1.6G application/x-iso9660-image
I made USB install sticks for both of them and found the same error: both can be started without problems on different notebooks (Sony VAIO, Lenovo T520, Samsung NC10) and run smooth and error free from the stick.
Whenever I try to do an installation - started the Live CD in the mode with possible install - on each of the nb's I always end up without a starting install process directly out of the start of the image but end up in a Trinity Desktop where I find links to install Ubuntu with Trinity.
But when I use of the menu entries nothing happens and no message is shown.
By fetching the install entry's command line out of the menu editor and calling it from a command line nothing is shown too.
And when I
=> sudo -i
and then
=> --preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR sh -c 'ubiquity gtk_ui'
I only get the message
"Could not find command-not-found database. Run 'sudo apt update' to populate it.
--preserve-env=DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS,XDG_RUNTIME_DIR: command not found"
By running only the part "ubiquity gtk_ui" again I do not receive any message and an install is not started.
The hole process of starting the image from the stick looks very similar as a normal install process for Ubuntu where the installation is directly started after choosing this option from the images start menu. When I do this with the Trinity images the install process is NOT started.
Both versions do exactly the same. It would be very nice to get help on this because I figured out that the combination of Ubuntu 20.04 and Trinity 14.x even when started from a stick after boot run more but fast enough to be used as a very good alternative to Kubuntu even on old hardware like a Samsung Netbook NC10 from 2011 with 2 GB RAM and ARM450 CPU. So it would be nice to have the option to install from the Live CD's.
Many thanks in advance !!!
Hi all!
I did a dist-upgrade yesterday on my devuan chimaera+tde14.1 machines. These are the things that I noticed:
- TDE cannot mount CD/DVD any more, it gives an error "mount: /media/cdrom0: mount point does not exist.". I am not sure if that was already a problem on 14.0.x some time ago. however, I can mount CD/DVD from commandline.
- Opening a media folder at it's actual mountpoint is gorgeous. Automouning with this feature is a great relieve, thank you!
- I'd like to always open konqueror at the medias mountpount :) Is there an way to do this in 14.1 at the moment?
Oh, and 14.1 is rock solid, haven't had a single issue on any machine I moved over. Great job!
Nik
