kmail sends attachment but deletes message enroute
by dep 03 Sep '18

03 Sep '18

hi, everybody! i'm using kmail-tde via the protonmail bridge beta for email, and i've encountered a puzzling issue. when i send a message with an attachment, the attachment arrives but the message space is labeled "Empty Message." this is problematic for a number of reasons. of course i first got in touch with the protonmail people, and we went through a few tests -- plain text vs. html and so on -- and no joy. they've pointed out that the only linux client they support, anyway, is thunderbird, so for everything else we're on our own. (i do not like thunderbird and like it even less for its poor support of maildir.) looking in kmail configuration, the lone reference i see for attachments (beside turning on the flag to tell me i used the word "attached" without attaching anything) is some sort of outlook mode, which when checked flings a warning of Very Bad Things if i use it. (fwiw, protonmail bridge does support outlook.) before i check the box, anybody know what's going on with the attachments sending but the messagfs not? btw, they show up just fine in the sent-mail directory. tia. -- dep Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Mouse wheel desktop changes
by Thierry de Coulon 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

When I accidentaly roll my mouse wheel when the pointer is over the desktop pager, it changes desktop (I suppose it's the intended behaviour). In the pager's option there is a checkbox about changing desktop with the wheel when the pointer is over the desktop background (and it works). Is there a setiing to block this wheel beaviour also on the page? Thierry

Trinity and Konqueror and Image View
by J Leslie Turriff 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

I see that the new release of Trinity is now available (Congrats!), and I'm thinking of replacing OpenSuSE KDE3 with it once again, but I have a question first: In OpenSuSE's KDE3 Konqueror, Image View is available in addition to Photobook, whereas, IIRC, Trinity Konqueror only has Photobook, which I find much less friendly. Is there a way for me to get Image View in the Trinity version of Konqueror? Leslie

R14.0.5 released, new target R14.0.6 will be started...
by Slávek Banko 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi everyone, who is currently using Preliminary Stable Builds repository as you have surely noticed, the final R14.0.5 was released. At this time packages in Preliminary Stable Builds (PSB) repository and official R14.0.5 are both based on an identical source packages. If you used the PSB only temporarily, you can now switch to official repository. This is the best time because here are waiting updates to upload into PSB. I suppose the first uploads will be done in early September. You have been warned ;) If you are using PSB deliberately, you can look forward to that soon will launch the first upload of packages for the new target R14.0.6. We will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Thank you for your attention :) -- Slávek

stretch problems
by Gene Heskett 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Installed stretch on a fresh hard drive, using a multiple partition setup, default gnome simple install. Broke my eyeballs and will use up a set of batteries in my mouse weekly to get anything done. Its a single user, single tasking system, with a busted terminal emulator, at best. Rebooted back to wheezy and printed the "debian trinity repository installation instructions", then rebooted back to stretch to apply them. Did, but got an odd error with the import key line. Fixed trinity.list for apt of course first. But synaptic did run, tde was clear at the bottom of the left column, but I found it and 45 minutes and about 1100MB of downloads later I thought I had enough tde to run. R14.0.5 FWIW. Rebooted to stretch, was greeted by the trinity login greeter, thought I was home free, but it was quiet for about 45 seconds after I entered the pw. Then boom, I'm looking at the worthless gnome screen again. During the install, I was asked which manager to use and clicked on tdm-trinity. But its not sticking, and I can't mount the stretch drive and edit it, theres enough diffs between the ext4's that it refuses to mount from wheezy. And if I add it to wheezy's fstab, the reboot locks up and I have to use the root pw to get a shell and # sign that line back out of wheezy'd fstab. Hopefully I will not have that problem in reverse because there's about 150 GB of stuff on the old wheezy drive to copy over. I did that, and I could read a dir or 3, but when I rebooted to wheezy again, it had to do a 20 minute e2fsck of the wheezy drive, which it did w/o reporting any errors. Looks like I need help before I really screw this up. So first, what do I edit or nuke to get rid of the gnome over-ride? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

TDE, Debian Install Wiki page (unclear/errors?)
by Michael 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

I stumbled across this from the TDE, Devuan Wiki page, and unfortunately I don’t have enough knowledge of Debian to know what a proper fix, or additional wording for a clarification, for these would be. Ref: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall > Section: 4.1 Fresh R14.0.x installation lists TDE v3.5.13.2 instructions… (I can’t really tell, but I think a header got left out?) > Section: 4.2 Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation has the command, “sudo aptitude full-upgrade” Per Googling, “full-upgrade is the former dist-upgrade” Per, https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.apt-get.html “such as the change from one major Debian version to the next, you need to use apt full-upgrade” Whatever the correct instructions are, is being forced to upgrade from say ‘7.x - wheezy’ to ‘9.x - stretch’ accurate? But, that does seem to directly conflict with the information presented in “1.1 R14.0.x series,” which implies I can stay on ‘7.x - wheezy’ and install R14x. # # # Would someone add some additional appropriate information to that page? And if the distribution upgrade is a requirement, also add some really ‘bold’ warnings? Best, Michael
