konqueror configuration: images keep appearing
by D. R. Evans 17 Feb '20

17 Feb '20

I have (I thought) konqueror configured to show me the detailed listing of directories. It mostly works, but if I hit the "up" arrow to go to a parent directory, it suddenly switches to icons instead of the detailed list (even if I was in the parent before, in detailed list view, and then went to a child directory, and then hit "up"). How can I stop this from happening? Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

Quicklaunch and Thunderbird
by D. R. Evans 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

On two separate systems (one debian 9, one debian 10) the Thunderbird icon appears as a silhouette when I add the application to the Quicklaunch panel application. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so that the real, non-silhouette, version appears instead? It's a minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

Re: copy paste with Konqueror

ajh-valmer wrote: > Hello, Again ! the problem seems finished, but no, it comes back. > Attached file. "signal 11 SIGSEGV" Thanks Andr� Hello. This problem happens to me as well. Sometimes when I cut and paste files using Konqueror it wil crash with a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). It looks like Bug 3008: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3008 This happens both when I'm cutting and pasting to the same Konqueror window, or to a different one. I have in detailed list view, Konqueror R14.0.7 in TDE R14.0.7 If I open again Konqueror and try the same cut and paste again it will always crash again. But if I rename the destination folder to something random then the crash will not happen. I hope this helps! jedw1846(a)protonmail.com

Hello, Impossible to make a file copy paste with Konqueror, from a folder to another. This is immediately a crash and Konqueror closes. Is it a bug ? Thanks, regards, André

Qt offering changes 2020
by Slávek Banko 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

Hi all, I do not know if you have noticed a recent change to the original Qt libraries from which our own TQt library was forked: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020 I have to say that it is comfortable that we have our own fork - TQt, which is and will remain publicly available without restrictions.

weird repository issue
by dep 02 Feb '20

02 Feb '20

hi, everybody . . . since pretty well forever i've had the TDE repos in my list such that updating has been no problem. but recently -- well, here: E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/frederik-elwert/transcribe/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. E: Repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu bionic InRelease' changed its 'Origin' value from 'LP-PPA-trinity-trinity-r14.0.0' to 'trinitydesktop.org' E: Repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu bionic InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.0' to 'Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.x' E: Repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/ubuntu bionic InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'bionic' to '' N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied.

Could not find mime type (Sorry pop-up spamming)
by Michael 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

I made one change last weekend to mime types (added ".bat" to KWrite) and now I get the Sorry pop-up every time I mouse over a file in Konqueror or open the TCC. The only recent file change I can see in: ~/.local/share/mime/ /opt/trinity/share/mimelnk ~/.local /opt/trinity/share is: michael@local [~/.local]# find ./ -type f -mtime -4 -exec ls -al {} \; ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel Which seems not relevant? TCC >> TDE Components >> File Associations “bat” shows: - applicatoin - - x-kdeuser5 (see screenshot) So... Where is mime type config stored? And what should be in it so it doesn’t spam Sorry pop-ups? Thanks, Michael [1] During this I also found out that KWrite is not in any menu? michael@local [~/.local]# kwrite --version Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.6 KWrite: 4.5.14 michael@local [~/.local]# which kwrite /opt/trinity/bin/kwrite Menu >> Utilities >> Editors only has: Kate Midnight Commander editor Kedit FeatherPad Vim Is KWrite not suppose to have a menu entry?

There are a couple of things I can think of to test things out. 1. Create a new user see if anything changes. 2. Grab another HD, install and createa new user. If you see some improvement, copy the old user dir over and recreate the old users. Maybe it's a corrupted user dir or a bad HD? Good luck, Kate

making desktop size sticky?
by D. R. Evans 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

I've installed TDE on a new system running debian stable. X is starting correctly with screen size 1920x1200, but every time when I log in, I'm presented with a TDE desktop of size 1024x768 and have to resize it. So I'm wondering: 1. Where is the value 1024x768 coming from? 2. How do I change it so that the TDE desktop starts at 1920x1200, so that I don't need to modify it manually each time?

[trinity-users][opensuse] menu reconstruction
by Felix Miata 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

A fellow user suffered extreme visual impairment, which severely limits his ability to use his PC. At irregular intervals, I straighten out his problems, and do his release upgrades. Somehow in his desire to reduce clutter on Kicker by deleting unused objects he has managed to eliminate a large number of items from his main menu. Office is totally absent, even though the entirety of LibreOffice is installed. Likewise, Internet, Utilities and System are also missing. Is there some simple XDG or other way to regenerate the menu that doesn't eliminate menu customization or impact Kicker? <https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_desktop_guides/kde_desktop_us…> suggests touch $KDEDIR /share/services/update_ksycoca Substituting $TDEDIR produces no such file or directory. # man ksycoca No manual entry for ksycoca # man xdgmenu No manual entry for xdgmenu # man update-menus No manual entry for update-menus $ ls -l .*xdg* *xdg* ls: cannot access '.*xdg*': No such file or directory ls: cannot access '*xdg*': No such file or directory :( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
