shentel has new email server & I can't smtp send
by Gene Heskett 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Greetings all; shentel has fired gmail, so that account stopped working, without notice or fanfare about 14:30 local time yesterday. I have now fixed my fetchmail & related scripts so that I can receive incoming emails from their new server. On port 995 But setting that address in a kmail send account is not working, and kmail won't even show me the alternate sending server as a sending target. A "check what the server supports" times out about a minute later as no contact hasa been made. I'm fresh out of clues & could use some help. Like is there an alternate port number to try instead of 25 for smtp? Thanks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

When will R14.0.1 be ready?
by yanestra＠arcor.de 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Sorry for such a kind of superfluous comment, but when can we expect TDE R14.0.1 to be ready and downloadable? And another question: I will need to compile TDE myself and I have read that there were massive problems because of failed library dependcies which were not detected (visible?) during compilation. Esp., libpng15, because that one missing ruins the general appearance. Any hints on that topic, or has there been an improvement on the compile script side?

Smartphone USB connection with Krusader
by Robert Peters 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Using Krusader 1.90.0 in TDE 14.0.1, trying to access the file system in my LG-P716 phone. But it doesn't appear in Krusader's dropdown media list. Or under /media/. For the phone's USB connection type I try Media sync (MTP) or Camera (PTP), both without success. Installed kio-mtp and associated KDE4 files but still no go. Any ideas? -R

Strange (to me) error message in KMail
by Lisi Reisz 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Debian Wheezy 7.8 Trinity R14.0.1 KMail 1.9.10 It is a new installation of both Trinity and KMail on a new computer. Initially it worked fine and a pile of new messages downloaded. Now it won't download and I get the error message: 'could not connect to host localhost' I have run it from a terminal, and I get: john@Harrier:~$ kmail [TDE NM Backend ERROR] [/tmp/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.1/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1224] org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files [TDE NM Backend ERROR] [/tmp/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.1/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1224] org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files [TDE NM Backend ERROR] [/tmp/buildd/tdelibs-trinity-14.0.1/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1803] org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files kmail: WARNING: Autosave directory /home/john/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/autosave/cur not found! john@Harrier:~$ WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended.

What do I do to get KMail working, or do I have to put this client back on Icedove and Mbox. :-( Thanks, Lisi

Mails won't send, no error message.
by Lisi Reisz 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Debian Wheezy 7.8 Trinity R14.0.1 KMail 1.9.10 Mails won't send, no error message. Not even if I click on <send queued messages>. So far I have not succeeded in sending a single message from teh new set-up. I have googled, but usual problem - too much KDE4. :-( The following could be the explanation, but I can't translate it into Trinity-ese. Something somewhere must be misconfigured or stuck. I attach (if they will go) screenshots of the smtp settings, with the email address changed a bit. But if the settings were wrong I would expect an error message. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your mails are not being sent, without error messages If KMail does not send mail without saying anything, the 'agent' responsible for 'dispatching' the mails can be stuck. Of course, you need to ensure you have proper network connectivity for mail to be send! To remedy this, it might help to abort the current action and re-start it. First, quit KMail by using KRunner (Alt + F2) or Konsole and typing: kquitapp kmail. Note that a normal Alt + F4 or File -> Quit does not do the trick! Wait a minute, then start KMail again. Now start akonadiconsole using KRunner (Alt + F2) or Konsole. Go to the Mail Dispatcher Agent, do a right-click and abort the current action. You will most likely get some error messages popping up. Go back to KMail and choose File -> Send Queued Messages. Now it might work. If not, instead of aborting the current action, try toggling the offline/offline status of the Mail Dispatcher Agent or restarting things like mentioned in the workaround 2 of the problem above this one. Note akonadiconsole can be quite helpful for a number of situations as it shows all the 'agents', the separate components of the KMail backend. You can stop and start them, put them in offline mode, abort ongoing actions etc. It can be very helpful when things get stuck. --------------------------------------- I am sure that it is PEBKAC again, but I can't leave this for a day or three until I feel more functional. I have to get it done. Lisi

Hello, I cannot resize the windows with the right button of the mouse as before, on kde-trinity 3.5. So, I must accept two sizes, a size by default (80 X 24) or the mode full screen. Thanks. André

Installing TDE on Ubuntu 14.04 ARM
by Alexandre 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hi, I just bought an ARM laptop at a relatively low price with a dual-core WonderMedia WM8880 1,5ghz CPU and 1gb of ram. It comes with Android, but I found a working sd card image with Ubuntu 14.04 ARM made for it, and it works impressively well with it. But now, I would like to know if there is pre-built package for Ubuntu 14.04 of either R14.0.0, or better R14.0.1 (or Slavek's PSB repo). If yes, what do I add to my source.list file? Here is the laptop, for info: http://www.craigelectronics.com/site/pdetails.php?id=642 Thank you! -Alexandre

32 bit file count overflow?
by Gene Heskett 16 Aug '15

16 Aug '15

My inbox, which has no expiry rules set, has gone from a 6 digit msg count encompassing dates back to 2002, had suddenly lost quite a few years worth of content, and is now showing 1522 msgs, for 91.2 megabytes. Loosely confirmed by a du -h performed in my Mail/inbox directory, so they are truly gone. 3 or so months ago, it was showing close to 695,000 msgs, and about 12 gigabytyes. However, another folder which also has no expiry rules, is showing north of 87,000 mesgs, & 481 megs occupied. Does anyone have a clue where they may have gone?

No "out-of-the-box"
by Anderson Serra 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

Hello. I installed Ubuntu with TDE environment, but the manager software was absent. So I managed to install, but now says I have no privileges to run. How to solve it? I've never seen it before on a distro. Another problem is that these same errors occur when trying to install a .deb package. There is not bound program to perform the installation. I would like to use the TDE as my default environment, but I am finding these obstacles. Because there is no TDE distros that came with software managers like the Ubuntu one. I'm not talking about Synaptic, which many softwares is missing. I have installed the TDE on SolidX distro, but it is buggy, and always lose the saved session. Which distro you recommend me that works out of the box, with TDE environment? It would be possible to install TDE in Mint Debian Edition? I do not want to use RPM-based distros. Thanks in advance. By the way, the ISO image called "tde-ubuntu-4.14-desktop-latest-amd64.iso" found in http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/ is wrong. Its environment is the Ubuntu Unity. I lost a cd media with this deception!
