Trinity 14.0.6 preliminary.
Don't know if it is a feature of ksnapshot or a misconfiguration
somewhere from me, but it is getting absolutely annoying what happens.
I have a website, a document or whatsoever on my screen in full
A4-papersize. Now I want a printout of a small part of it. Call
ksnapshot, choose "region" "new snapshot" and then draw a border around
the desired part. Press "print" and then print it. Bull... I get a
print in landscape, useless and even worse not even the original layout
reappears.
Stop ksnapshot, restart it and same procedure with again the same
miserable result.
Stop, restart, same procedure but no actual printing, instead I look
into the printer properties. And there, big surprise, landscape was
marked as to be printed BUT all 4 orientations were grayed out, so I
couldn't change that.
Checked in tdeprint the printersettings, nothing wrong, in "instances"
"settings" all 4 orientations were available and portrait was marked as
to be applied in the default printer.
Checked kprinter and of course the settings of tdeprint were there also
valid.
But then I had an idea. If I selected in ksnapshot a larger part of the
screen, say more than half A4, what would happen?
Yes, some ugly words from me and there it was: portrait was marked but
still all 4 possibilities grayed out.
So ksnapshot decides how it wants to print and doesn't leave the user a
chance to get a result, that he wants. Utterly bull....
Any suggestion, where I could look to alter this behaviour?
Phiebie.

Hi all,
if you are using Devuan, you may have noticed with the release of R14.0.9
that there are newly available resources generated for Devuan distribution
names in the apt repository. When entering a Trinity repository into the
apt sources list, you no longer need to use equivalent Debian distribution
names. The packages as such remain the same for both Debian and Devuan, as
we still guard to maintain independence from systemd.
See https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall

Hi
I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed
alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have
pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a
fix to re-enable alsa or the like?

In addition to my previous question re startup sounds not sounding all
the time, I have a question regarding Bluetooth.
I am able to use the Bluetooth Manager to connect a pair of
headphones and can hear audio through BT, it sounds excellent. The one
thing I can't get working is the microphone that is built into BT
headphones. I know they are primarily designed for phone calls via a
smartphone, but is it possible to use the BT headphone microphone
through the PC, for example, if you were having an online
Zoom/Skype/Jitsi meeting? The local Linux group has been having virtual
meetings every month and although my Logitech headphones with
microphone boom (USB-connected) work perfectly, I would like to try
wireless/Bluetooth - if it's even possible. I attempted this with the
previous distro (Fedora) and was not successful.
Thanks again.
Last post ack the list archives was in August 2017, after which the list
was silent, and my msgs were apparently routed to /dev/null. But I
didn't unsubscribe.
My ISP has been known to block/bounce but pearsoncomputing.net was in
their "whitelist", I put it there yonks ago.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back.

Dear TDE users list,
I see that the SUSE2 theme has been packaged for Trinity thanks to
Philippe:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/twin-style-suse2https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/56#issuecomment-…
I wonder whether there are any plans to package it for openSUSE for the
current version of Trinity R14.0.10? If not, is it straightfoward to
extract the binaries compiled for another distribution and move the files
to the respective folders?
Thanks!
Gianluca

I have been digging around the TDE documentation, as well as the TDE
center to see if there is a way to change the TDE menu search function
keybinding. I am pretty sure that there is an answer, as there must be
others as well, using a non-US/UK keyboard layout. Any ideas?

AFAIK both DuckDuckGo and Startpage use Google for the actual search engine?
Bing’s results are way weird.
Are there any [reliable] search engines other than Google’s?
Curious…

Good morning everybody =)
I'd like to ask, does anyone *actually* use Konqueror to regularly
browse the internet? I have used no better file manager than Konqueror
but the web aspect seems to be hindered. I don't think its a fault of
Konqueror itself but the way web design has changed. You can test this
yourself by using wiby.me (an early web design search engine) and
looking at sites indexed on it. These usually display fine in Konqueror,
but when you go to a modern website like DuckDuckGo for example it
doesn't display properly at all. It's a bummer since Konqueror is one of
the hallmarks of TDE for me, although I don't know much about the web
browser (KHTML) aspect I believe its integrated into some Trinity
applications which is a really nice feature. I first really thought of
this when I used KlamAV's virus browser function (which I assume is
using KHTML integrated) but Trend Micro website (being that it's likely
changed a lot) doesn't display properly.
For the time being I'm using SeaMonkey since my usual browser, Pale
Moon, does not take too kindly to *BSD.. And since it's a suite with a
mail client as well I'm not using Kmail. I might switch to Firefox, but
if there is any way to use Konqueror I would love to. There's so many
options that far outweigh most dedicated web browsers such as its
adblock filters and the ability to disable JavaScript which gets rid of
any need for an add-on like uBlock Origin. I completely understand that
working on it to display modern web pages is probably too difficult
since Trinity's KHTML/Konqueror is older, this is just me dreaming here.
Ideally I'd like to be able to make full use of a TDE web browser and
the applications that work with it =)
