KPDF change dir in save as dialog
by Greg Madden 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

TDE R14, Debian Jessie I download & open a pdf file with kpdf from a vendor, happens automagically, kpdf is set as default app for pdf. I go to 'file>save as" , the save as dialog always starts at /tmp...then I have to navigate to the dir with saved pdf's...this is a deep dir structure...I would prefer to have 'save as' open the last used dir...or something..is this configurable? -- Peace, Greg

kmix issue with mwheelevent in TDE
by westlake 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

hi tde fans! I notice there's the systemtray kmix applet which works quite well in TDE for managing sound volume but there's a little benign issue here with r14 on debian jessie. When I use the mousewheel over the kmix volume speaker in the system tray, the volume changes but when the kmix icon is clicked on to expand showing the vol indicator, the position of the vol indicator remains unaffected. not a top priority of course so I'm patient to see a fix on this.. thanks

tde-kmail spell checker works but missing from tools menu???
by Gene Heskett 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Greetings all; TDE r4, kmail-1.9.10. Just in th last 4 or 5 days, the spell checker in the tool pulldown menu has disappeared. It still works, hilighting the words it _thinks_ are miss-spelled, but the only way to fix it seems to be playing the 10,000 moneys writing MacBeth again. Any body know how to re-enable that spelling thing in the tools menu and make it work again? It did work, for a few days after I installed TDE, latest. but it left at about the same time it forgot 40 of the 70 or so filter rules. Thanks all.

R14: where is the user administration
by Uwe Brauer 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Hi I just installed R14 on Ubuntu 14.04 and everything went smoothly. Thanks to the team! However I opened the control center and I cannot find the user administration tool and am familiar with. Is this included any new package? Thanks Uwe Brauer

Passwords
by Robert Peters 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Was "Re: [trinity-users] R14: where is the user administration" A way to generate and remember passwords: use an algorithm. Start with a memorable sentence, for example: "Trinity Desktop is my #1 website" Replace parts of it to make a password: "TD14=m#1ws" where TD stands for the site's name, and 14 is the number of letters in it. So for Facebook you could use "FB8=m#1ws" Of course you would use a different phrase in which you could substitute more special characters. Now all you need is the website name to reconstruct the password. Robert

kmails filters disappear
by Gene Heskett 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Greetings; new sub to the list, had trinity installed for about a week. It solved a huge fonts problem I had with wheezy's kmail. However, it appears that everytime I add a new filter, an old one falls out of the list and quits working. Since I have about 60 folders, I can only setup "sort to folder" rules for about 24 or so before this "culling" seems to start. And the droppage does not effect the install presets, just the ones I've added, most of which were generated by the "filter on Subject/To:/From:" in the message pulldown. And then fine tuned for changes in [content] of the subject, and in the order of application. I don't know if its too small a buffer assignment for filters or what. I have 8Gb of memory in this amd64 (phenom) powered box, so memory, within reason, should not be a problem. Is this known? A fix in progress? 2nd kmail related question... Several previous versions of kmail, it has had a dbus port, by which I could have a 'new mail watcher' script send a message to kmail to have it go get that mail which had arrived in /var/spool/mail by way of a fetchmail/procmail/spamassassin/clamscan chain that has been running for several years here, unloading that duty from kmail. So all it has to do is go get that mail when it comes in. That script is now logging errors to the shell I started it in because the dbus target string doesn't exist. AMD64 bit 3.2.0 kernel running ATM. Thank you. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

clamscan etc log perms, can't keep logs
by Gene Heskett 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

The default script that runs clamscan over a goodly portion of the system on a daily basis is haveing cron send messages to /var/spool/mail/mail, so I changed perms on that file so kmail could fetch it from the local mail box and set kmail up to do that. I find I had about 125k worth of messages because the scripts I copied over from the old drive aren't quite compatible with this install. I have fought tooth and nail with the system and it blanket denial of my ability to read a log file unless I either play with the parent locations ownership and permissions, so much so that I create in my home dir, a log subdir so that all these utilities could both write a log file and I could read it. I am eventually going to have to create some logrotate entries to handle maintenance on these log files, but at least I can read them. Which is the preferred method of dealing with this, my way, or hacking up owners and permissions all over the /var/log tree? Thanks.

Zypper claims to refresh them (apparently valid), but anything I try to (32 bit P4 HT; uname -i = i386) install results in unmet deps. e.g. libtqt3.mt needed by trinity-tdm can't find libaudio.so.2; trinity-tdebase cant find libmad.so.0 needed by trinity-arts.

k3b-trinity and blu-ray
by dep 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

greetings, folks . . . i don't know if this is a bug or if i'm doing something wrong here. the plan was to burn my 20-gig mail directory to a blu-ray m-disc for archive purposes -- m-discs are supposed to last without degrading for 1000 years. in order to burn blu-ray, i understand that i need to use cdrecord, which is fine. so i got and installed it, but k3b-trinity says it can't find it. oddly, k3b from kde4x found it just fine, and it works. i prefer k3b-trinity. but i have no idea what i can do to make it find cdrecord. additionally, i'd guess that because cdrecord overwrote whatever was there before, i can't use k3b-trinity for anything anymore. is this a known issue? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com
