Sound issues
by SuperRyn 22 Mar '25

22 Mar '25

I have a strange issue where if the first application to make sounds closes, all other applications become incapable of making sounds until I reboot This is the case with or without the sound system being enabled I'm on Arch Linux, and installed trinity via the tde-meta package. If it helps, I used to have gnome, xfce4, and enlightenment installed, but removed them.

Can Kate be configured to automagically continue searching at the beginning of the document rather than always prompting to continue? Thanks.

Window borders
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Is there a way to not have borders around windows? Or at least the side vertical borders? I am using TDE Classic Style. When I am reading an online article in a web browser, often I "fling" the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen to keep the pointer out of the way of reading text. I use the mouse scroll wheel to move down the page. With TDE I can't do that because when the pointer hovers over that left edge window border the effect is to kill scrolling. I have to continually bump the mouse pointer to the right to get off the border. I do not experience this in other desktop environments. Memory muscle and habits are difficult to change. So I am thinking this is a property of twin. Thanks. DA

404.
by Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος 19 Mar '25

Hi! :-) I tried to install TDE to my Devuan system (stable, Daedalus). I gave (as root): "apt update", but I received a 404 error for the mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org (although I can reach it, via browser). Additionally, I received the message that "the repository does not have a Release file". Can someone confirm, that the repository is online and works as expected? TIA!!! :-) Giorgos.

Alt+Tab Walk through windows
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Is there a way to change the size of the 'window walker' that appears when using the global Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut? The widget that appears for me is small. I would like something a bit larger. Thanks.

Konqueror and embedded viewers
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Seems pretty much that double-clicking on files in konqueror almost always default to embedded viewing rather than external tools. While this behavior can be changed for individual mime types, can this behavior be change globally? Changing every mime type to open in an external tool is a lot of drudgery. Thanks.

KPDF and tabs
by Darrell Anderson 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Does KPDF support tabs? I don't see any such option. I was surprised when I had a PDF open and from within the KPDF menu I opened a second PDF to compare side-by-side. Rather than a new tab the first PDF document was closed in order to open the second PDF. Seems the only way to have multiple PDFs open is launch externally from Konqueror? Or use a different PDF viewer?

Date Formats
by Darrell Anderson 15 Mar '25

15 Mar '25

I use the Plain clock in the panel and configured the Short date format to SHORTWEEKDAY SHORTMONTH dD. My clock date format: 2:58 pm Thu Mar 13 My brain is getting old and fuzzy but usually I can remember the year. :) Konqueror's List/Tree view seems controlled by the same Short date format. I want to see the year in the Modified column date stamp. I change the Short date format to SHORTWEEKDAY SHORTMONTH dD YYYY and then the Modified column dates look the way I want to include the year. But the clock format changes too: 2:58 pm Thu Mar 13 2025 Not the end of the world, but is there a hidden way to control each format separately? Thanks.

Konqueror file manager blank new tab
by Darrell Anderson 15 Mar '25

15 Mar '25

I only use konqueror with the file management profile. When I open a new tab the file pane contents are always empty -- blank. Is a empty/blank page normal or do I have something misconfigured? I am guessing the blank page is a carry over from web browsing. The only related configuration I could find is Behavior->Home URL, which I have configured to $HOME (actual file path and not env. variable). I would think that one way or another a new tab would list the contents of that path. I use Tree View all the time. Curiously, when the new empty tab appears, the View->View Mode menu shows 'TDEHTML' and not Tree View. Methinks I have something mucked up somewhere. Where to look? Thanks.
