Two usage questions hibernate / menu buttons
by Gianluca Interlandi 10 Jul '21

10 Jul '21

Sorry for my many e-mails about hibernate. I have two usage questions: 1) How can I disable having to enter a password after hibernate or suspend? 2) How can I add the logout / lock screen buttons to the right side of the panel? I did search though the Trinity Control Center for these two but I have not been able to locate them (yet). Thanks!

I found this | https://userbase.kde.org/Create_your_own_mouse_cursor_theme which hopefully still works. If so, it should be distro-independent. Leslie --

Kmail SMTP Issues
by hunter2k1＠disroot.org 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '21

Hey all, I'm having to use Disroot's webmail service to send this since I am unable to send mail on Kmail for whatever reason for the past few days. I'm using SMTP and TLS but get the error "unrecognized transport protocol" whenever I try to send a message. Disroot's SMTP uses port 587 and STARTTLS, but I had been using TLS and Plain Text and the weird part is that this worked a few weeks ago but now it isn't. I'm able to get mail via IMAP but can't send anything. Does anyone else use Disroot and/or know how to fix this?

Does this exist someplace?
by dep 09 Jul '21

Hi, everybody! There's something I had with OS/2 that I haven't had since then despite searching for it. Such a thing, if we had it for the various Linices, would be pretty cool and pretty useful. I paid ~$50 for a little OS/2 utility that let one fashion his own cursors and mouse pointers (for the GUI, the WorkPlace Shell). Big whoop, right? Ah, but . . . you could make them so they would be the *opposite* of whatever they were over, even if they were over two or more different colors. This made them tremendously visible and now, 23 years after switching to Linux, I still miss them. Oh, and after a user-specified time of inactivity, the mouse pointer, I-bar pointer, etc., would disappear until the mouse is touched again. The program created the pointers; they could then be put on machines that didn't have the program, and they would work just fine on those (as long as they were running OS/2). Does anyone know of a TDE-compatible mouse theme that does most of the above? The switch to opposite color (I set it to work as greyscale, because the oposite of verious colors can be awful, so it merely took the luminance of whatever was beneath) is most important, though the auto-fade would be great, too -- then one can select a position in text without partially obscuring it. If we don't have it, we should, though I do not know if it is possible under any of the Linux desktops. Even 30 years ago, the WPS was pretty sophisticated. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

knetworkmanager icon takes a while to appear after hibernate
by Gianluca Interlandi 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Hi! I noticed that after resuming from hibernating in TDE, the knetworkmanager icon in the tray takes 1-2 minutes until it appears and is functional. The internet connection works correctly in the mean time, but the tray icon cannot be used for a while. Is there a way to restart knetworkmanager so that the tray icon reappears faster in case one has to change the LAN settings after resuming?

How to work with Assignments in UK
by lucibranden0590＠gmail.com 06 Jul '21

It is basic to experience the endeavor subjects well by sorting out what is the interest. As we, according to the lead, know when the students get the element to make the major starting relationship without information. A point for the Assignment is dependably given out of nowhere and is a particularly thought subject. If the students get the explanation and plans of the point, by then you can essentially go on with a period of students forming for the best future. <a href= "https://www.allassignmenthelp.co.uk/ "> allassignmenthelp </a> <a href= "https://www.allassignmenthelp.co.uk/ "> all assignment help </a>

Search engine other than Google’s?

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… Best, Michael

Using Konqueror for the web
by Hunter 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

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 =) - Hunter aka hunter0one

Hibernate from TDE
by Gianluca Interlandi 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

Hi! Upon clikcing on "Log Out..." I am presented with various choices. I am confused which one correpsonds to hibernate (suspend to disk). Is it "Freeze Computer" or "Suspend Computer"? What I need is the memory to be written to the swap partition of the disk and power turned off. In other words, which one of these calls `systemctl hibernate`, or is a different mechanism used? I had to fiddle with /etc/systemd/sleep.conf and add: HibernateMode=shutdown to make hibernation work correctly. Suspend to RAM (often also called "Sleep") makes the laptop hang, so I need to avoid it (unless I find a fix). Thanks!
