Kate: Warn about files modified by foreign processes
by Darrell Anderson 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Does this option work? I have the option disabled. Kate still reminds when a file is changed. Also, does KWrite have the same option or does KWrite inherit that option through the Kate KParts? KWrite also keeps displaying these reminders. Would somebody else confirm this behavior? Thanks. Darrell

Audio CDs being locked into drive
by Kristopher John Gamrat 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

I have been spending most of the day ripping my audio CDs using KAudioCreator. After each CD finishes, when I go to push the CD drive's eject button, nothing happens, even after several tries. I need to open a terminal and use the eject command as root (normal user doesn't work). When the CD drive is empty, or before I start ripping the inserted CD, the eject button on the drive responds immediately. Can anybody else confirm this? If not, it's probably something on my system. If so, I'm filing a bug report. -- Kristopher Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/

Configuring Kate (text editor)
by Darrell Anderson 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

This is more of a user question than developer but I'll post here because I use Kate all day to review build scripts, patches, source files, etc. In my KDE 3.5.10 version of Kate I have been long able to use a kludge to keep Kate in MDI (multiple document interface) mode. That is, regardless of what I do, all documents I want to open in Kate all open in the same window. I never have more than one window of Kate open. I use the Documents list window and the tabbar plugin to identify my files. Now that I am using Trinity too, I no longer can apply my kludge. Kate 3.5.13 is very much an SDI (single document interface) app and that frustrates me. I don't like multiple windows being open. Forced grouping does not really help. I am struggling with multiple Kate windows. I get confused when I double-click on a file in Konqueror and the file opens in Yet Another Window of Kate rather than the one I have open. Seems the only way I can control this is to open all files from within Kate and that is inconvenient too. How do I go about forcing all documents that I open in Kate to appear in the same window? Second, is there a better Quick Launch button that just opens Kate? I dislike the popup menu where I have to select how I want Kate to open. To me the idea of Quick Launch buttons is one click. Thanks. Darrell

Hello, There is first attempt to create a layer between TDE and UPower. Also, there is a small GUI test application, which collect and display all possible information about battery. API documentation: http://www.thel.ro/upower/annotated.html Classes following closely UPower specs: http://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/ref-dbus.html Feedback and suggestions are welcome. Download: (~100k) http://www.thel.ro/tdelibs.tar.gz cmake should be run from top of source tree (tdelibs). -- Serghei

by Alexis PM 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello I want to propose the following package to be included in TDE: kima ( http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=33257 ). This applet monitors various temperature, frequency and fan sources in your kicker panel. I use it and I find it very useful. Congratulate you for keeping alive the continuation of kde3. Thanks!

KOffice Suite
by Darrell Anderson 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

This past summer there was a discussion about deprecating KOffice. Fortunately this plan was abandoned. KOffice includes the following apps: KWord: Word Processing KSpread: Spreadsheets KPresenter: Slide Presentations Karbon14: Scalable Graphics Drawing KPlato: Project Management Kexi: Database Creator Kugar: Database Report Generator KChart: Chart and Graph Creator Kivio: Flowchart and Diagram Editing Chalk: Painting and Image Editing KFormula: Formula Editor If this suite is advertised as a personal office suite rather than professional the apps remain viable for many Trinity users. The tight integration with TDE is a bonus too. I hope KOffice is not removed from the Trinity line, but I am wondering how much work is involved to package the apps separately. Likely there would need to be a koffice-base package that contains all the common libraries, headers, etc. I seem to recall once upon a time the developers for one of the distros doing this, but my memory gets fuzzy these days. :) Is separate packages feasible and doable? Just asking. :) Darrell

Sudden resemblence to WinXP?
by Kristopher John Gamrat 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Whenever my screen locks (e.g. from my screen saver or from manually locking) and I go to unlock, I'm told to press CTRL+ALT+Del, and it says it's displaying that so the login screen doesn't get spoofed. When logging out, I get a window saying it's saving my settings. Both of these remind me of WinXP. The CTRL+ALT+Del thing is of WinNT (XP is based on NT). Is there a way to turn this off? Also, if the CTRL+ALT+Del thing is used for unlocking, why not too for logging in? -- Kristopher Gamrat Ark Linux webmaster http://www.arklinux.org/

Lenny maintance and sudo use
by Alexis PM 23 Nov '11

23 Nov '11

Hello I encourage to continue to maintain TDE in Debian Lenny. The latest release, 3.5.13, isn't available to Lenny (only for Squeeze), while it is avaible for RHEL 5, which is a older version (two years earlier). Lenny is still a version with official maintenance, and is still used by many people. On the other hand, I would like to emphasize an aspect that has been discussed before by this list: TDE is not neutral in the use of su/sudo, use sudo by default due Ubuntu heritage, but the reality is that numerous distributions use su instead of sudo. Although you can change this setting (some people already explained earlier in this list several times), edit configuration files may seem complicated to the newbies: it would be much easier if TDE allow easily choose the authentication mechanism instead of using sudo by default. Congratulate you for keeping alive the continuation of kde3. Thanks!
