Need some help with kmail regexp filters
by J Leslie Turriff 28 Jan '26

28 Jan '26

I'm trying to filter some semi-constant noise from the subject fields of mail items in a subfolder, but I can't get my filter to work. Clearly, I'm doing something fundamentally wrong, but I can't see what. Here are some examples of Subject fields: SUSE-SU-2026:0245-1: Security update for php7 openSUSE-SU-2026:10079-1: python311-weasyprint-68.0-1.1 on GA media and here is the filter that doesn't work (quoted to show where there are spaces): "(open)?SUSE-SU-[0-9]{4,4}: ?[0-9]{1,5}-[0-9]{1,2}: " which kregexp interprets as: Repeated at Most 1 Time: "open" "SUSE-SU-" Repeated Exactly 4 Times: One of the following Characters: from 0 to 9 ":" Repeated at Most 1 Time: " " Repeated From 1 to 5 Times: One of the following Characters: from 0 to 9 "- " Repeated From 1 to 2 Times: One of the following Characters: from 0 to 9 ": " What am I overlooking/misunderstanding here?

openSUSE Leap 16.0 and TDE
by Gianluca Interlandi 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Dear TDE users, I was wondering whether anyone has installed openSUSE 16.0 along with TDE. What is your experience so far (in particular with openSUSE 16.0)? Does openSUSE 16.0 still support RPM? Thanks!

Choose logout choices
by Thierry de Coulon 25 Jan '26

25 Jan '26

Hello all, I am configuring an old UpBoard (SBC) with Trinity as Desktop. I plan that this machine will be used by people who know little (or nothing) about Linux and maybe even computers. The point is: when I right-click the desktop and choose "logout", I get a lot of possibilities: Logout, Shutdown, Restart, Freeze, Suspend, Hibernate and Hybrid suspend. I'd like to have only the three first ones. Would removing TDEPowersave do that (Powersave is no use as this SBC does not have any battery)? Or is there any otherway to configure that (maybe in TDM, as running with lightdm offered only "logout")? Thierry

no TDE system sounds in Trixie
by Felix Miata 29 Dec '25

29 Dec '25

TDE produces no desktop sounds, Kmix volume control is dead, though mute works, and KControl Sound System Test Sound produces nothing regardless of selected device. OTOH, aplay works fine. Can anyone here suggest what's missing or errant so that TDE session can't connect to Pipewire, so pw-play produces: error: pw_context_connect() failed: Host is down There's also cannot connect and "Host is down": $ wpctl status Could not connect to PipeWire $ pw-cli list-objects Device Error: "failed to connect: Host is down" $ pw-cli list-objects Node Error: "failed to connect: Host is down" $ # dpkg-query -W | egrep 'alsa|arts|audio|codec|demul|dbus|fmpeg|gstr|jack|kodi|h26|mix|mpv|pavu|puls|sof-|sound|vlc|wire|xdg'|sort alsa-firmware-loaders 1.2.14-1 alsa-tools 1.2.14-1 alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.14-1 alsa-utils 1.2.14-1 dbus 1.16.2-2 dbus-bin 1.16.2-2 dbus-daemon 1.16.2-2 dbus-session-bus-common 1.16.2-2 dbus-system-bus-common 1.16.2-2 dbus-x11 1.16.2-2 firmware-sof-signed 2025.01-1 kdbusnotification-trinity 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 kmix-trinity 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 libarts1c2a-trinity:amd64 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 libartsc0-trinity:amd64 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 libasound2-data 1.2.14-1 libasound2t64:amd64 1.2.14-1 libaudio2:amd64 1.9.4-9 libaudiofile1:amd64 0.3.6-7+b1 libdbus-1-3:amd64 1.16.2-2 libdbus-1-tqt 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 libdbus-glib-1-2:amd64 0.114-1 libdbus-tqt-1-1c2 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 libjack0:amd64 1:0.126.0-4 libpipewire-0.3-0t64:amd64 1.4.2-1 libpipewire-0.3-modules:amd64 1.4.2-1 libpulse0:amd64 17.0+dfsg1-2+b1 libwebrtc-audio-processing-1-3:amd64 1.3-3+b1 libwireplumber-0.5-0:amd64 0.5.8-2 menu-xdg 0.7 pipewire-alsa:amd64 1.4.2-1 pipewire:amd64 1.4.2-1 pipewire-audio-client-libraries 1.4.2-1 pipewire-bin 1.4.2-1 pipewire-jack:amd64 1.4.2-1 pipewire-pulse 1.4.2-1 sound-theme-freedesktop 0.8-6~deb13u1 tdemultimedia-tdeio-plugins-trinity 4:14.1.5-0debian13.0.0+0 wireplumber 0.5.8-2 xdg-user-dirs 0.18-2 xdg-utils 1.2.1-2 # inxi -Aaz Audio: Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Oland/Hainan/Cape Verde/Pitcairn HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7000 Series] vendor: Dell driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 8 link-max: gen: 3 speed: 8 GT/s bus-ID: 01:00.1 chip-ID: 1002:aab0 class-ID: 0403 API: ALSA v: k6.12.57+deb13-amd64 status: kernel-api tools: alsactl,alsamixer,amixer Server-1: aRts v: 1.5.10 status: active with: artswrapper status: off tools: artsdsp Server-2: PipeWire v: 1.4.2 status: off with: 1: pipewire-pulse status: off 2: wireplumber status: off 3: pipewire-alsa type: plugin 4: pw-jack type: plugin tools: pw-cat,pw-cli,wpctl $ systemctl -l --no-pager --global --user status pipewire.{service,socket} pipewire-pulse.{service,socket} wireplumber ○ pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) TriggeredBy: × pipewire.socket × pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.socket; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: resources) since Fri 2025-12-26 16:58:51 EST; 16min ago Duration: 7min 59.281s Invocation: e757e540b8614c7fa94a5049727a8dd4 Triggers: ● pipewire.service Listen: /run/user/2000/pipewire-0 (Stream) /run/user/2000/pipewire-0-manager (Stream) Dec 26 16:50:52 fi965 systemd[1230]: Listening on pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Sockets.

This won't sadden OS/2 lovers, some of whom are here
by dep 29 Dec '25

29 Dec '25

Lou Gerstner has shuffled off this mortal coil. "The CEO misread consumer and business enthusiasm for PCs, allowing Compaq and Dell to overtake the market it pioneered, and Microsoft to dominate the market for PC operating systems to the extent that IBM gave up on OS/2. . . . IBM also lost leadership in networking, storage, processor design, and saw x86 servers drive its mainframe and midrange business into niche markets." But other than that . . . https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/29/lou_gerstner/ dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kmail apostrophe weirdness
by Leslie Turriff 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

Lately I've been seeing this weird spacing effect with apostrophes in incoming emails. The encoding for the messages in question is "auto-detected" by Kmail as UTF-8, and in the message headers announce that they are UTF-8. Is this some artifact of the sending agent, or something that Kmail is doing? I attach an example.

The downloader in the SuperKaramba app (under Desktop category in TDE menu) seems to not work anymore, returning an empty list.

kmail update trouble
by Thierry de Coulon 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Hi all, I had some spare time available so I decided to do a dist-upgrade (MX-Linux 23, TDE on psb). Now habve 14.1.6 ~development (and the latest MX 23, whatever it's called). Now, I can't start kmail anymore - this is sent from the older MX 21 install. The error message is: kmail: error while loading shared libraries: libgpgme++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libgpgme++.so.5 is a link to libgpgme++.so.5.0.0 in /opt/trinity/lib Bug? Workaround?

I'd love if certain Plasma features would be ported
by rave002＠o2.pl 30 Nov '25

30 Nov '25

Nothing that will go against Trinity's philosophy (I don't want to lose this lightweight DE either and I don't want another plasma), but stuff like: - An option to use kwin-x11 as a window manager as well as configuring kwin effects (wobbly windows, etc.) so using an outdated compiz or beryl/emerald is not needed to have cool stuff. - Desktop notifications for applications that integrate with Plasma's notification system. - Kdeconnect capability to integrate with mobile phones. - A visual tablet configuration window, even if it's just a wrapper for xsetwacom. May add more later on if I think of something that wouldn't go against Trinity's philosophy, but would be useful to have.
