tdeinit startin twize ...
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

This is the followup of "dcopserver starting twize". As I am just creating a new Devuan+TDE ISO I ran into this naging problem again. When booting from the ISO created with refractasnapshot /etc/init.d/tde starts tdeinit twize in parallel. This leads to dcopserver running twize - sometimes one for root and one for $USER, sometimes both for $USER. My workaround for now: "service stop tdm; killall dcopserver" restarts TDE once. Now my question is: where is that racecondition hidden that makes /etc/init.d/tde to start tdeinit twice in parallel? Any idea?

Qt5 software in TDE
by Darrell Anderson 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

Is there a recommended strategy to deal with Qt5 software in TDE? This is somewhat like dealing with GTK software. On my systems, Qt5 programs look awful in TDE, mostly really tiny fonts and ignoring themes. Qt5 tools look normal when I use KDE. I am aware of qt5ct. That tool provides some sanity with Qt5 tools in TDE, but usage needs to be limited to TDE. Otherwise qt5ct introduces its own frustrations in KDE. Thanks.

Konqueror File Sorting
by darrella＠clovermail.net 29 Feb '24

29 Feb '24

How is the R14.1.1 Konqueror sorting options supposed to function? With the following options: * View->View Mode->Tree View * View->Show Hidden Files->enabled * View->Sort->Group Directories First->enabled * View: ->Sort->Group Hidden First->disabled Nothing happens when toggling Group Hidden First. Hidden directories always list before non hidden directories. I expect directories such as ~/Desktop, ~/Pictures, etc to list before ~/.cache, ~/.config, ~/.trinity, etc. Tested with a fresh profile. Thanks.

Cant install Trinity in Tumbleweed
by jacobheinrich＠hotmail.com 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

So... I had to roll back an install that I broke, but now that I am back to a "working" barebones install, I have to install TDE. But when trying to install any TDE app, I receive an error that the dependency "libtiff.so.5()(64-bit)" is needed but not provided. This is on OpenSUSE tumbleweed. Anyone else having this issue when updating/installing TDE apps?

network issues - tdenetworkmanager
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Now I got bitten by the same problem - and got solution (at least for devuan) - so this might be interesting for Bill :) It turned out that the compination of "apparmor" plus "pulseaudio" made networkmanager go kind of numb. It would not connect to my wifi for ever. Retrying did not change anything nor did turning the wifi device on/off change anything. Last entry in syslog was always "wlan0: associated", but it looked like ip address was received. Now removing "apparmor" increased the chace of getting ip adresses via dhcp to ~ 50%. After removing pulseaudio and pulseaudio-modules-bluetooth the rate is back to normal aka 100%. Note: I had pulseaudio to connect to bluetooth speakers and my problems begun after installing it. At last I got the speakers working with "bluealsa" --> kmix is not confused with the "pulseaudio" device sneeking in as first coundcard.

feature request - a way to download *all* TDE-Trinity packages for a system
by William Morder 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

I don't know if this is totally selfish and/or solipsistic of me, but I would like to have a way to download *all* available packages appropriate to my system. If there is some command that will do this, that will work, as I can pick and choose on my own. A tool like aptoncd would be better, but I can find anything like it any more. Best thing about images created with aptoncd is that apt treats them exactly like repositories, so I don't need to cobble together self-styled hacks and use dpkg, but can just depend or apt to find the right combination of packages and dependencies. Debian still offers, I believe, extra CD or DVD images of the extra packages in their repositories. In addition to the installation images, there are usually extra discs, 1, 2, 3 and 4, containing extra packages. I used to search all over Devuan to find the same, but now it seems that they, too, have caught up, and offer disc images of extras. Or perhaps I have only recently discovered where they keep them hidden? My reason for this request is related to my recent previous posts: sometimes I find myself in a remote place, or in a crazy situation, where there is no internet access, or where -- such as recently -- flooding or some other disaster has knocked out internet. Yet, while I have no internet, I still need to have a working computer for other things that I do offline; and now, suddenly, my machine gives me problems, and I need to do a system reinstallation, or at least to install some new and unfamiliar packages. Thanks for any help, Bill

Trinity File associations for http/https scheme
by Wirlaburla 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Hey Trinity Folks. I'm having trouble getting xdg to play nicely with the file associations and settings I have for Trinity. While TDE applications follow them just fine, non-TDE programs don't seem to. That's fine, I tweaked xdg myself. The issue is that something happened and now non-TDE applications don't follow my "Open http and https URLs in an application based on the contents of the URL" (in TDE Components > Default Applications > Web Browser) anymore. Now when I click an http URL directly to an image or video, it opens up in my web browser. I'm not really sure what's changed because it was working fine before. My initial thoughts are to find out how TDE opens "in an application based on the contents" and just assign it to xdg but I'm unsure of what that is or where to find it. Thanks. -- Wirlaburla

using nmtui or other tools to change hostname
by William Morder 04 Feb '24

04 Feb '24

Another thing I do from time to time is to change my host name, as I must share a network with many other people. The administrators of this network insist on using a ridiculously insecure password, which doubtless could be cracked by a script kiddie in a few minutes; moreover, the password has never been changed in at least 7 or 8 years. Myself and others have recommended changing the password, but nothing happens. After I did a little messing with that program that Nik suggested, nmtui, I wondered what else I might use it to do. I like these stone tools; once one has figured out the basics, then at least there is the possibility of controlling the machine. Even before I started this thread -- or the previous thread which spawned it, regarding my network problems, or tdenetworkmanager -- I was wondering about this problem of the hostname. Is there a way to change my hostname easily, without reinstalling my system? This (nmtui) seems like the right tool for the job; although of course, when running Linux, there are sure to be dozens of others that do the same or similar. These are probably stupid questions, and a thousand people out there can answer it: but the man pages do not cover these possibilities. I want to know, first, if one ought to disconnect from internet (or to connect) when changing the hostname like this. It seems to me that trying to change the hostname on a live connection may cause problems. On the other hand, when I am doing a fresh installation, I must set the hostname on a live connection, but then it is a new, unnamed connection. Second, should I run nmtui (or similar tool) as root in order to change my hostname? When I tried it out earlier, it seemed like it could do nothing with my connection unless I was running as root; but then, before my fresh installation, I could not use tdenetworkmanager, could not use internet at all, except as root. Can I, in ordinary circumstances, change my hostname without first becoming root? After I change my host name (that is, after a fresh installation), I seem to have no problems for a while. What I want is to be able to change the hostname periodically, without doing a complete new installation. Also, I block pings with my firewall, that kind of thing, but eventually these problems start up again, because some people out there (or their automated cracking scripts) apparently have nothing better to do than to search for vulnerabilities in other people's machines. All ideas or suggestions are welcome. Bill
