An extremely disappointing wallpaper...
by Wirlaburla 10 Mar '26

10 Mar '26

Hi folks. I was reading the release notes for R14.1.5 before I started a system upgrade and noticed there was a new wallpaper added to tdeartwork. At first, I liked it, but then I took a closer look and was extremely disappointed. Do we not have any quality control for TDE artwork? I'm certainly not the only one who noticed how bad this looks. I have no issue with using AI for artwork, but this is embarassing. There was very clearly no attempt to polish or improve this at all. How did this make it in? Surely we can do better than this, no? Thanks, Nick

tdeio_uiserver
by Mike Bird 08 Mar '26

Can anyone give me some clues about tdeio_uiserver? It appears to be a process forked but not execed from tdeinit. I've looked at what I presume is the source but there's nothing obvious to me that would use any significant amount of RAM: https://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdelibs/tree/tdeio/misc/uiserver.cpp The process seems to be growing without limit in TDE 14.1.5. I had not noticed such behavior in previous versions of TDE but I do use TDE very heavily and my workload changes over time. My firefox is also very large but I can restart that to get back some RAM. Restarting firefox does not reduce the size of tdeio_uiserver. Is there a signal I can send to tdeio_uiserver to tell it to downsize? I could of course reboot, or logout and login, but that costs me about twenty minutes including putting dozens of firefox windows back where they're supposed to be. Thanks, --Mike Attached: Screenshot of "top" sorted by "RES" column.

Looking for adressbook snycing
by Thierry de Coulon 08 Mar '26

Hi all, I'm currently trying to "degooglize", in particular as Google is turning Android to another closed system (no more side-loading). I've had my "contacts" (no that many) over the years on Google mail/contact because it was so easy. Now I'm trying to find a replacement that would let me manage them on the desktop and use them on the phone. Most suggested solution use webdav, but software syncing with webdav are usually thunderbird or KAdressBook (from KDE). TDE's KAdressBook does not seem to offer that. Anyone can suggest a - simple - solution? Thierry

[TW] Trinity Help Center Could Not Start Process Unable to Create IO-Slave
by Felix Miata 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

I did a fresh Tumbleweed 20260304 installation 2 days ago, then added TDE. Starting session opened Trinity help center with subject error window reporting: X 'tdelauncher said: Unknown protocol".' Help Center window opened, but the right side pane was empty. I didn't close the Help Center, and this failure repeated anew on every session start until I did close the popup and the Help Center window before opening the Help Center anew. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
