Network manager advice
by James Anslow 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hello all Can anyone clarify how network management works by default in Trinity? Coming from a Gnome background I was expecting an all-around Wired/Wireless manager akin to network-manager but have had no such luck. I primarily use WiFi, and did try out KWiFiManager, but it appears to be quite buggy. Specifically, for my card it states that 'no networks [were] found' (but the same scan with iwlist returns a network list). I would ideally like to use network-manager, and while I have heard whispers online about a package called network-manager-tde (it turns up in a few Google results); it does not appear to be available in the TDE repository. I'm running Debian 7 (Wheezy).

Mozilla removed the ability to be embedded in anything a long time ago; we couldn't reactivate that plugin even if we wanted to. Best way forward is with Webkit; if I remember correctly there was an old RFE years back to add a Webkit renderer but no one was interested in financing the work so it went nowhere. Let's worry about R14 short term, then we can see if there is interest in moving to Webkit after that. That is a large project, so either we need several dedicated people working on it or it needs to be handled via the RFE system--obviously the "hope someone picks it up and works on it" approach isn't working for this task. ;-) Web developers, can you see if there is any way to modify the site slightly so that Konqueror can render it properly? If it helps I noticed something similar in Firefox when I had two nested tables in the body, so perhaps something isn't 100% correct in the CSS? Thanks!

PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster version 2014, October 2 is ready to download!
by Alexandre 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi everyone! My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2014, October 2 is ready to download! I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of their repos, it is also not supported by them. It only has a special ''permission to exist'' from the PCLinuxOS dev team. It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD). New on this release: -Fully updated PCLinuxOS 2014 base system -Based on stable TDE 3.5.13.2. It will probably be the last one to come with 3.5.13.2. -A theme switch Zenity script to let the user switch between the more modern theme I use and TDE Classic theme, to please more users. -A SuperKaramba theme pack -Kernel 3.16.xx On this LiveDVD: -Tons of TDE software and major apps like LibreOffice, Firefox and Gimp Login info (on the LiveDVD): Regular user:guest Password:guest Super user: root Password:root System requirement: A x86 computer with at least 384mb of RAM. It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too.

PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster
by Baron 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi Alexandre, Maybe not a problem ! I have downloaded your latest "PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster version 2014, October 2" without any issue. Checked MD5 and its a good download. I'm in the process of installing it on my test machine right now. However when I came to burn the iso using your previous version I have discovered that I can no longer burn DVD-R's ! A DVD+R burnt without any problem but K3B imediately ejected the -R disc. I didn't used to have this problem. The drive burns -R's Ok using "Open SuSE". When I can get chance I will test for this problem using the latest version of your PCLinuxOS release. -- Best Regards: Baron

Konqueror - are these bugs?
by iadest＠o2.pl 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello I've found 3 things in Konqueror, they may be bugs or maybe they are just Konqueror's specific ways of interaction and I am using MS Explorer too much :). So I don't know should I file bugs for them: Issue 1: Which files are selected? I am using Detailed List View in Konqueror. When I use mouse to select few files dragging a rectangle, sometimes one or more files below the rectangle are selected too. Issue 2: Inconsistent file renaming methods Renaming "in place" in Konqueror is a very useful function if small keyboard is used. It is easier to click on the name again, type new name and hit Return (or Esc if I made a mistake). But clicking on the name doesn't always work. This behaviour is inconsistent in different view modes - it works in icon view modes, it doesn't work in list view modes. Issue 3: New folder and then... When I create a new folder, enter its name and hit Return two times, I think I should enter this new folder, not the first folder in the list. But maybe it's Konqueror's default way?. Marek

kmail does not quote the same depending on reply type
by Thierry de Coulon 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello list... I think this is a "bug", however I don't know how to file: I use kmail 1.9.10 on TDE 3.5.13.2 (running on openSuSE 13.1). When I click "Reply" or "Reply to author" I mostly get no texte quoted (although it *does* work sometime, I did not yet find out when and why). *but* if I click "Reply to all" or "Rely to mailing list" the message gets quoted... If I remember well I did not have the problem with wheezy, so it may be only the SuSE RPM version. Thierry

TDE can be run on another architecture - powerpc
by Slávek Banko 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

Hi all, on IRC recently, one user asked about the possibility of using TDE on PowerPC architecture. I took the challenge and tried to add powerpc architecture on my small builder. After solving the fundamental problem with CMake I have successfully progressed in building more and more packages. Currently in my alternative apt source 'preliminary-stable-builds' are available almost all packages for Debian 7.x (Wheezy) on PowerPC. Who of you has a real PowerPC hardware, you can test it! -- Slávek
