Text with icons on KMail toolbar. Squeeze + TDE 3.5.13.2
by Lisi Reisz 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Happy New Year, all! A few months ago I saw that it was possible to put text with the icons on the KMail toolbar and breathed a sigh of relief. I could at last move my husband from Icedove (Thunderbird) to KMail, without being cruel to him, and my life would get a whole lot easier. I could finally have him on Maildir not Mbox and could remove the viruses he loves downloading, without destroying half his email. He downloads viruses with gay abandon, and whilst they do not hurt him, he has Windows using friends. I am about to set his new computer up. I am looking at things on my computer to refresh my memory. And the text has disappeared again! I am really sad about this. Does anyone know where it has disappeared to or where I ought to be looking? I hope that the problem is PEBKAC, and thus easily solved with your help. It is KMail 1.9.10 on TDE 3.5.13.2. Please help! I can't face another eternity of trying to protect his friends from viruses on Icedove. I tend to get cowardly and not run a virus check. :-( I have Googled and Googled. I have been Googling for a week or two. :-( He is away, and I want to have it set up properly for him when he gets home on Thursday. Thanks, Lisi P.S. I once found seven little .exe files sitting in his home directory doing nothing!! They were easy to delete. :-)

Problems with Firefox 16.0.2
by Jeff Taylor 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Since installing the recent update to FF 16.0.2, I have been having constant issues. Sometimes as often as 3-4 times a day (other times it works ok for a couple of days at a time), FF will appear as though it has lost all access to the internet. Any tabs that I try to reload will just sit there and spin. 'Top' does not show any processes running out of control, and if I close and restart FF, everything works normally. I have not noticed any pattern to the sites I'm visiting when it stops working. It does not appear to be related to flash content, and sometimes I come back to my computer to see it stuck trying to reload a page, so it appears to lose its connection even when not being actively used. I do not have any proxies or other special setting for my network - it's just a straight connection to the local LAN. I had assumed it was just my computer, but today my wife informed me that she has also been having the same problems for the past week. Both systems are running Ubuntu 11.04 (natty), and all updates have been applied. I can't really work from a new profile because I need my bookmarks and plugins for daily work, and as I mentioned this problem does not immediately show up. However if anyone has other suggestions that I could look into, or if you have run across any other threads from people having similar problems, please let me know.

Re: [trinity-users] Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13

I assume you showed the Debian Squeeze repositories by mistake. So, I trimmed back the URLs, looked around, and went with: deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lucid main However: Err http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu lucid/main Packages 404 Not Found Fetched 22.4kB in 2s (11.1kB/s) W: Failed to fetch http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/… 404 Not Found There is no "/lucid/" under .../trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/ But, there is a "/lenny/", as in: http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lenny/... Very strange. Is there a sub-dirextory naming error there? Would using: deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lenny main be a Real Ugly Hack to proceed? >Or upgrade from 3.5.11 straight to 3.5.13.x. >This would not be a problem. I was afraid that _would_ cause me problems. But having an existing, local desktop Ubuntu 10.04 with Trinity 3.5.13.2 gives me (maybe) the ability to fix any strange problems that might appear -- if I have to give up trying to upgrade to Trinity 3.5.12 Thank you. I am looking for an explanation of that "lenny"... Happy New Year! Jonesy

sound in TDE on openSUSE
by Felix Miata 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Does TDE have a preference for either alsa or pulseaudio? The last 12.2 system I installed TDE on has no sound currently. It has installed currently alsa, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins & alsa-utils, but no pulsau*. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

English language spelling question

> By the way, is it Mom or Mum? English is not my primary language... Je > parle en francais, mais je vis au Canada :) > > Merry Christmas! > -Alexandre Bonjour Alexandre! I didn't see that you ever got an answer to the above question. The answer is that it's both. "Mom" is American and "Mum" is British. I don't know what they use in English Canada. Bonne année et bonne santé de Cincinnati! Tony

Storage Media list in Dolphin
by Alexandre Couture 29 Dec '12

29 Dec '12

Hi everyone! Anyone who have tried my LiveCD would have seen that when you click on ''Storage media'' in Dolphin, you have to click on refresh to see the list of the drives you can mount. Also, if I do a ''safely remove'' on a usb key, I have to click on refresh to see the drive as unmounted. Ok, I'll admit that there is more important problems than this in the world, but It would be nice to have a kind of auto-refresh in that window. Is this problem caused by the underlying changes in Linux (with DBUS, UMOUNT, HAL, ...) or it is just a small problem in Dolphin? Does the next release of TDE will get better support for that? Happy New Year! -Alexandre

TDE and Wheezy
by Lisi Reisz 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

I am just about to install Debian and TDE on my husband's birthday present box. He is quite clear that he wants Squeeze. He likes stability and would rather have a reinstallation in the not too distant future than have something not called Stable. And he hates change! But not even the prospect of being left in peace far longer could tempt him into Wheezy. Moreover, he is adamant that he likes KDE 3 best. (I have given him various environments to try.) BUT - I'm the one doing it! If I can present him with a stable box, even if not a Stable one, he will be happy. So - how stable is Wheezy with TDE 3.5.14 nightly builds? I get the impression not quite. But using Squeeze means opening the box and putting an extra network card in in order to be able to install it. (Or anything else with a kernel < 2.6.34.) I just want to be quite sure in my mind that Wheezy won't yet do, before I start opening boxen. Thanks . Lisi

PCLinuxOS Live CD
by Baron＠linuxmaniac.net 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

Hi Alexandre, I've now got your live CD installed on my machine... I'm quite impressed though I do seem to have moments of very odd behaviour. For instance I used "Network Center" to disconnect my wired ethernet prior to doing some other things. But didn't reconnect before I shut the machine down. Starting the machine up this evening I discover that I now have "Dolphin" started up and three instances of "Gkrellm" all on the same desktop. Most curious ! Things work mostly as I expect. Good work. Thankyou for sharing. Sent from Trinity Kmail on PCLOS -- Best Regards: Baron

installing trinity on wheezy.
by Calvin Morrison 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Hi, I am having trouble installing trinity on wheezy. I tried adding the sources for sqeeze to my /etc/apt/sources.list but that did not work because of dependency problems. I then changed those lines from squeeze to wheezy. Unfortunately that only worked half way. There is no build-deps built for wheezy available so I removed those lines. When I try and install kdebase-trinity it does not find the package. My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this: deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debianwh… main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debianwh… main deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free Any ideas?

I vaguely remember some chatter about 'failings' in FF 16 in the forums on Webmaster World -- but I do not remember the exact problems. The consensus there, tho', was the upgrade to FF 17 cleared all that up. Jonesy
