Clock applet does not obey Time & Dates settings
by J Leslie Turriff 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Even though I have tried to customize my Time & Dates settings (both via Trinity Control Center => Regional & Accesibility => Country/Region & Language => Time & Dates, and Clock => Date & Time Format), my settings do not appear in the Clock applet's panel gadget, nor in the Calendar that pops up when the Clock gadget is clicked. I have attached a screen shot of the pertinent screen areas. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.6 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.3 tde-config: 1.0

Strange link behavior in KMail
by dep 02 Feb '25

02 Feb '25

Greets, everybody . . . For the last few weeks, if I click on a link in a message in KMail, instead of the link opening in Netscape like always it produces the attached, and just sits there. It can be circumvented by copying the link and pasting it in Firefox -- Netscape -- but in that I'm pretty sure what's shown in the picture isn't the designed behavior it is worth reporting.

TDE unstable with openSUSE 15.6 on old laptop
by Gianluca Interlandi 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Dear TDE list, I installed openSUSE 15.6 on an old DELL Inspiron 1520. I decided to give it some more life with a Crucial MX500 2 TB SSD. The installation went fine except that I had to use "acpi=off" to boot the installation media, but I was able to remove that kernel option after the installation. LXDE runs fine. However, TDE is unstable and already during the setup wizard the screen goes blank after a few second, then comes back, goes blank again and after a few times X crashes and goes back to the login screen. With LXDE, I have a similar issue if I use a openGL application that displays atoms as spheres (other representations work fine). In that situation, the screen also flashes a few times and the application that I use crashes, but the LXDE session survives. This makes me think that it is probably related to the video card not beeing correctly supported by newer kernels. The video card is: Mesa Intel 965GM. I wonder whether anybody has any idea how to troubleshoot this, especially as everything else seems to work fine. I use this laptop to teach python and pygame to my middle school son. So LXDE will be fine for that. What I have done in the past if I'm not happy with the hardware I installed linux on, I purchase something newer on e-bay and move the hard disk to the newer system (at least Intel CPU to Intel CPU should work fine). If anybody has any experience/recommendation for an older laptop (that I could find on e-bay or similar) with an integrated Intel GPU where trinity runs in a stable manner possibly in conjunction with openSUSE 15.6, please let me know. It needs to have a SATA connection for a 2.5" SSD and it should be able to boot with BIOS or legacy BIOS as the partitions on the hard disk were created with a DOS label (not UEFI). Thanks!
