Re: how to get tdenetworkmanager - with no wicd ?

Same with net-applet.

kmilo problem
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

Hi all! Now it'me having an issue :) I use kmilo for the volume control on my thinkpads. But no matter what increment value I set in tdecontrol, the volume changes +- 10%. kmilodrc has "volumeStep=1" - but that value is ignored. Is there some other setting hidden somewhere for non-thinkpads that might interfer with kmilo? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

An eMail solution
by Michael 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

So my friends, are you willing to spend ~$25 / year? No? Hit delete now... Yes? Then why put up with Google’s or any other web mail provider’s crap? Get a VPS: [1][2] $15-$20 / year Buy a domain: $8.56 / year (.com) $5.28 / year (.com.de) $4.28 / year (.top) $2.68 / year (.loan) * $2.68 / year (.men) * $2.68 / year (.party) * $2.68 / year (.stream) * $1.28 / year (.cyou) * * lol, make sure to buy 20 years upfront! !? There is no .woman? How sexist! Mail setup: Search Fu / Server Fault Use any Linux distribution you want, just make sure to add a root conrtab to auto-update nightly. As desired, I can share the bash script I use to setup an SSH tunnel to check mail with end to end encryption along with the KMail settings to support it. Best All, Michael Links: https://porkbun.com/products/domains https://lowendbox.com/ https://www.serverhunter.com/ https://www.webhostingtalk.com/ [1] VPS Minimum Needs: 1 CPU 1 GB RAM ~20GB [2] Example Real World VPS: LEB New Website Special - 1.5GB KVM - racknerd-{snip} (04/07/2020 - 04/06/2021) $16.55 USD Location: Los Angeles DC02 (Test IP: {snip}) CPU: 2 Disk: 20GB Operating System: CentOS 7 64 Bit Extra IPv4: None ------------------------------------------------------ Sub Total: $16.55 USD Credit: $0.00 USD Total: $16.55 USD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
