strange keyboard issue
by dep 21 May '13

21 May '13

hello, good people. this is not a new issue, but it's a continually annoying one, so i thought i'd bring it up in case someone knows an easy fix. i am here at the office running a thinkpad in a docking station, with external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. the keyboard is attached via a usb adapter and mostly works fine. when i use a plain old bog standard keyboard, all is well but for the fact that every so often, unpredictably as far as i can tell, it stops accepting input and the keyboard lights flash for a couple seconds, then it works again just fine. any characters typed in during that period, though, are lost. this is not a problem when i use a trusty old ibm model m keyboard. here, the issue is different. as long as i'm in console mode, no X or framebuffer or anything running, all is well. but when X starts, no keyboard input is accepted unless and until i unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. then all is well. this is consistent across several model m keyboards i have tried, so it's not a keyboard or cord issue. something happens when it goes into graphical mode that makes it think it doesn't have a keyboard. i suspect that there is a configuration switch somewhere that will fix this, but i can't find it. anyone know? thanks, and i hope this wasn't terribly o/t. -- dep The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle guitar playing?

Kmail issue
by Greg Madden 21 May '13

21 May '13

TDE 3.5.13.2 Wheezy amd64 I reply to an email, I use 'smart quoting' Actually editing new emails same issue. Highlighting text to be deleted does not work reliably... the hightlighted text does not stay hightlighted. It takes a few tries to get the text to stay highlighted so I can delete it, very annoying. Anyone else see this behavior? -- Peace, Greg

How to configure ssh-agent with Trinity?
by Jan Stolarek 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hi, I'd like to use ssh-agent with Trinity, but I can't figure out how to do it. Right now I'm running ssh-add manually to unlock the keys after logging in. What I would like to have is typying the ssh passphrase the first time it is required and have that passphrase unlock the keys in ssh-agent). How could I do that? Janek

xdg-open issue
by Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all! I just came around an anoying xdg issue: $ xdg-open justapdf.pdf This opens a pdf, but with Gimp! I fiddeled around with gimp.desktop without success. I fiddeled around with xdg-mime without success: $ xdg-mime query default application/pdf /opt/trinity/share/applications/kde/kpdf.desktop but it opens gimp. IMO xdg-* is quite broken. :-( Now the only workaround I came up with is setting the environment variabe DE to kde: export DE=kde Then xdg-open uses kfmclient and that calles the kpdf. Now, would it be possibel to let TDE set that variable by default or am I missing a vital point? Nik

TDE on Debian/Wheezy
by James Downing 16 May '13

16 May '13

I saw a question earlier, and I was also interested, in how to install TDE on Debian/Wheezy/7.0. Since it did not appear that TDE was available yet for Wheezy, I was concerned that I would have to continue to wait for my favorite desktop, so I would need to continue to wait to upgrade Debian. Then I saw are response that I could use an un-released development version of TDE for wheezy, and I was prepared to do that, but did not step into that yet. So, I commented out the TDE archive from my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and upgraded Debian/Squeeze/6.0.X to Wheeze as usual. I was surprised to find out that TDE was retained in full and it works fine. The only experience I have found thus far is that I cannot use the mouse right away after switching from one user desktop to another. I can use the keyboard to unlock the screen, and then the mouse becomes usable again. Otherwise, the new upgrade is flawless (as usual for Debian). Is there anything that I am unaware of that is actually broken, but perhaps, I have not noticed ? -- James D. Freels, Ph.D. freelsjd(a)gmail.com

TDE on Linux Mint [WAS: root password on Alexandre's live cd?]

Perhaps just blow-by-blow instructions for changing the MATE-DE to TDE might be easier for someone who knows what they are doing, particularly if the instructions are in GOF-speak(1). Glen
