If I fill in my email address and a description, then send it off, where does it go? Is it integrated with the TDE bug reporting system?

I don't think there is a mechanism in KDE3 or Trinity to dynamically size the cursors, but while I was poking around looking for additional ones, I found "Material Cursors" on this web page <https://www.debugpoint.com/best-cursor-themes/> (among some other intriguing ones). "Material Cursors, a longstanding favourite among Linux users, offers a visually captivating cursor theme that has garnered a dedicated following. With three colour variants, namely Material (Blue Grey), Dark, and Light, and multiple size options ranging from 24 to 64 pixels, this cursor theme caters to a wide range of preferences and desktop environments." (In fact, several of the other cursor packages in this article have multiple sizes; and the Gnome-Looks website has lots of others as well.)

lock session menu entry
by Felix Miata 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Is there any way to get it out of my menus? Alternatively, is there a way to move it where it won't likely get hit by accident, which is the frequent problem here? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Re: network issues - tdenetworkmanager
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

I just ran into polkit hell + network-manager - like Bill. This is how to get network-manager working for your user, so you do not need to run it as root: Check your permissions - if you get "yes" on all lines, you are good, but then you won't have network-manager issues at all: $ nmcli gen permissions If you don't get "yes on all lines, then create this file: #/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.rules polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control") return "yes"; }); Now check again - all lines should say "yes": $ nmcli gen permissions Now you can do bad stuff with network connections from all your systms users, but as you most likely are the only system user it should be ok: $ nmtui Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Need Help Getting Trinity Desktop Environment Running in Termux Proot-Distro Debian
by ddp619＠icloud.com 22 Apr '24

22 Apr '24

Hello everyone, I've been trying to get the Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) up and running in Termux Proot-Distro Debian, but I've hit a roadblock and could use some assistance. I've included the log file below for reference: ``` termux-x11 :1 -xstartup starttde [starttde] Starting starttde. [starttde] This script is /opt/trinity/bin/starttde [starttde] TDE version is R14.1.1 [starttde] TDE base directory is /opt/trinity [starttde] TDEHOME is not set. [starttde] Set TDEHOME to /home/doug/.trinity. [starttde] Setting TDEROOTHOME to /root/.trinity. [starttde] XDG_DATA_DIRS: /opt/trinity/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share [starttde] TDEDIR: /opt/trinity [starttde] TDEDIRS: [starttde] Starting Trinity... Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory [starttde] Trinity hardware control dbus daemon not started. mkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root [tdebuildsycoca] tdebuildsycoca running... [2024/04/21 09:54:26.947] [dcopserver] DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. [starttde] TDE_FULL_SESSION: true [starttde] TDE_SESSION_UID: 1000 [tdeinit] Shutting down running client. ``` It seems that I'm encountering an issue with connecting to the system message bus and starting the Trinity hardware control dbus daemon. Additionally, there's a problem with setting the ownership of `/tmp/.ICE-unix` to root. I've tried troubleshooting on my own but haven't been able to find a solution. If anyone has experience with running TDE in Termux or has any insights into what might be causing these errors, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

tdemid default output
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

Hello all, I happen to have inherited an "old" but stil kicking SoundCanvas SC-88 Pro. So I took out my midisport 2x2 and fired tdemid to see what I could do with it. Works very well as a matter of fact. The only "problem" is that everytime I load a midi file, tdemid defaults to MIDI Through port 0 and I have to change it to midisport. I took a look at the configuration file, but there is nothing there about default output. Maybe it's possible to add some instruction, but where can I find the correct syntax, if any? Thierry

Alternative E-mail provider (off topic)
by Gianluca Interlandi 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

Dear TDE list, Sorry, this may be off topic. I am looking for an email provider that is not Google, Yahoo or Apple. Recently, these providers have tightened the ability to forward e-mail as detailed in this article by UW: https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/it-systems-infrastructure/e… In particular, I am looking for the following: 1) Ability to access through IMAP 2) Ability to set up automatic forwarding while leaving one copy of a message in the INBOX 3) Possibly free or low cost with enough storage > 1 GB and ability to have attachments >= 25 MB. I have been looking at AOL and GMX. AOL is now owned by Yahoo, so it may have the same issues. GMX is attractive especially since it allows attachments up 250 GB. However, I wonder whether e-mails sent through GMX have to go all the way to Germany and then back to the US (making the process slow)? Or does GMX mail have servers all over the world including the US? Any other recommendations? Also, I would like to use IMAP using Alpine and I read that "Alpine also assumes that the Inbox is located at /var/spool/mail/user_name on the email SMTP server": https://opensource.com/article/21/5/alpine-linux-email I am curious whether today's e-mail providers store their e-mails in a /var/spool/mail/ folder.

D-Bus and Polkit Galore
by Mike Bird 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

Here is a discussion by the SUSE Security Team of their review of KDE6. For me it cast a lot of light onto the murky behind- -the-scenes D-Bus and Polkit. If you are a TDE developer or power user you might want to take a look. https://security.opensuse.org/2024/04/02/kde6-dbus-polkit.html

can "lock session" be removed from menu?

If so, how? It's too easy to hit accidentally when trying to log out. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
