Is there a way to change the colour of the indentation marker in HTML mail?
by J Leslie Turriff 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Some of the mail I get is HTML-only, and has vertical bars for indentation markers instead of >. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to see (much like the break markers in toolbars. Is there a way to change their colour? I tried modifying the Alternative Background Color in settings, but that didn't help. Leslie

kweather does not update weather data
by Stefan Krusche 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Good day! Has anyone noticed that kweather applet doesn't update weather data anymore since some weeks? More exactly, weather data for "Berlin-Tegel". Kweather comes obviously with a database from which you can choose your location (airport). For Berlin that used to be "Berlin-Tegel" and "Berlin-Tempelhof" (which is dead since 2009). I checked with "Braunschweig" and it shows actual current data. Last time that happened the URL for retrieving the data had changed on the part of the server (noaa.gov). This URL was hardcoded in the source of the software and one of the developers had to change it (Tim did that) and it worked again since. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce offers a lot of services on nws.noaa.gov where the local weather data used to be served as single html pages which were named according to their respective ICAO-Codes (airport IDs). I suspect they again changed something, but I couldn't find anything relevant on their homepage in a couple of minutes. "QCLCD ASCII Files are no longer available. Please use the Global-Hourly File Access link above." I don't know what "QCLCD" means. I'm only guessing here anyway. Maybe only kweather's database of available airport weather stations needs to be updated… Kind regards, Stefan

Video preview in konqueror?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

[Ooops, sent too soon ....] Hi all! I just found a problem on my T14 with TDE 14.0.10: Konqueror does not show previews of video files. It turned out that the package "mplayerthumbs-trinity" was missing. Isn't there a dependency that should pull in this package? Or is this package not used for preview videos? Anyhow, I cannot get previews of videos, despite the fact tha I think I have installed all relevant packages. So, does anybody know which packages are needed to get that working?

Looks like mediamanager does not start konqueror on 14.1. when automounting (worked just befor the upgrade). Yes, idealy on my system mediamanger would start konqueror with the system folder for that device. Hm ... there is a shortcut to what I want to do, I'm sure :) Nik > > Cheers > Michele > > -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

debug installed TDE
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hi all! I'd like to get rid of system:/media/ and media:/ . My plan is to modify some tdeio libraries of my current TDE installation to do this, but this is where I hit a wall: Is there a way to get a minimal copy of code of the currently installed TDE - namely the tdeio part - build a modified version so that I can just copy the binaries over the current installed versions - without building and installing the whole TDE and installing it? Maybe somebody can put me on the right track here. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

how to force TDE colors in non-TDE apps?
by William Morder 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

I did try to accomplish this by going through the Trinity Control Center / Appearance / Colors, but nothing happens to my non-TDE apps, so far as I can tell. (Actually, I am only guessing, from what I remember; my TCC screen has been frozen now for a couple hours. See attachment.) Some of my apps refuse to change colors, even though they used to behave like I want (in Jessie, that is, before I upgraded to Devuan Beowulf). I seem to recall that E.Liddell, or maybe Nik, offered some css tricks to do something like this? The main thing is that I don't want to look at a white screen, but I prefer to keep my own color scheme, not to use one of those ready-made themes. Right now it is psi-plus that won't accept the color scheme that I used before the upgrade; it accepts some of the definitions, but will not change background colors. By the way, if I could get kopete to work again, that would be fine, too, but kopete-trinity lags behind other chat applications. Pidgin is okay, and I have others that I am trying out, but at present psi-plus works best for me ... except for the white background, which tends to be hard on my old eyes and gives me a headache. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem or for a workaround? Thanks for any help! Bill

That's why I always format them with linux before use. I never have a problem after that. NTFS, when I have to use that crap, sometimes will. HFS doesn't give me much of a problem, less than NTFS more than fat32. Try clean formatting the drives before use and make use you chown to your user just in case. Kate
