TDE does not open
by Ken Heard 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

Sometime since 2023-11-10, when it was created, an email thread with this title disappeared from my email client. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to copy to a text file the contents of that thread; so the content was not lost. Three people also contributed to this thread, Mike Bird, Thierry de Coulon and Peter. I hope that they at least still have that that thread so they will know what it am talking about in this posting, as it is a continuation of that thread and would not have been possible without their collective help. I was able to download from the desktop computer a copy of file ‘.xsession-errors’. It is attached to this posting, all 924 linesof it, with the title ‘TDE-xsession-errors.odt’, no more dot and everybody has permission to read it. Interestingly enough, the ‘.xsession-errors’ file for the laptop contains only 894 lines. After examining the desktop .xsession-errors of all the possibility for errors which could cause TDE not to open, I was able to identify only one, the UID. The .xsession-errors used 1001 as the UID. At some point I changed my default UID from 1001 to 1000. (The UID on the .xsession-errors for the laptop is and always was 1000.) In view of the foregoing I think the best thing for me to do now is to reinstall Bookworm and TDE completely. For Thierry’s information both computers have four partitions, boot/efi, root (/), /var and /home which is encrypted. I no longer have a swap; I had them since 2008 in several computers – but never were they ever used. ‘Partition’ /tmp is now part of tmpfs and set up as so by a line in the /etc/fstab file. In retrospect, the original message – Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?). Check your installation. – was misleading. If my analysis herein is correct a full temporary directory is not the issue. The command lnusertemp, if it is a command, could refer to a UID number; which it could not do for the desktop but could for the laptop. One final comment. I will not be able to do the reinstalments before 26 November. I will report results when done. Regards, Ken Heard

TDE does not open
by Ken Heard 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

In mid-October last I installed in a desktop computer Debian Bookworm and TDE. After the installation I was able successfully to transfer the source of the operating system from the CD disk to the built-in source. After opening the OS from the local source I installed an application and was able to use it. I also made some adjustments to the TDE ‘kicker’. I then closed the computer for the night. The next morning I expected to open the computer without difficulty. So I opened it and got as far as the ‘Login to TDE’ window. I entered my password. Instead of opening the TDE I received the following message: Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?). Check your installation. As of this point the only access I had to the computer was by a ‘console login’. Fortunately I had a spare laptop without any operating system installed. I consequently installed on it the same OS and TDE. This time I did not receive the message quoted above. In time I was able to install all the applications I wanted and adjust the kicker and other TDE features to my liking. While I have been using the laptop for several weeks now, I would like to be able to use the desktop. I did however do an online search; all I found were a few posts about this message dated on average ten years ago. A few made reference to the possible absence of KDE files, a diagnosis which I did not think relevant. Others made reference to having the right permissions. Without however complete access to the desktop it was difficult to check permissions of ‘temporary directories’. Directories which appeared to me relevant and where I was able to see the permissions in both computers, all were identical. I cannot understand why what appears to me as identical installations in both computers would not work in both. How can I ‘check the installation’ if access to the computer is so restricted? All help, suggestions, etc. will be gratefully received.

ImageMagick import freezes keyboard I/O in opensuse 15.4
by Gianluca Interlandi 01 Nov '23

01 Nov '23

Dear TDE users list, This is a problem probably outside of TDE. I often use ImageMagick import to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With previous installations, up to openSUSE 15.2 (and TDE), I have always been able to enter something like: import test.ppm and then either use for example Ctrl+F4 or Alt+Tab to switch to a different desktop or window. However, with openSUSE 15.4 (tested with TDE and LXDE) after entering the command for import the keyboard freezes and I cannot switch desktop or window, neither I can exit import by pressing Ctrl+C. The mouse still works and I can still take a screenshot of whatever is on the screen. However, this makes it more combersome to take a screenshot. The interesting thing is that it seems like whatever I type on the keyboard is "queued" and executed once import exits (by drawing a rectangle with the mouse). So eventually it still switches but only after import is done. If anybody has encountered this same problem and has a possible solution, I would be glad to hear.

Project Roadmap? Wayland Support?
by jacobheinrich＠hotmail.com 30 Oct '23

30 Oct '23

Hey all. Is there a project roadmap that is updated? Mostly looking to see the projects perspectives on things like Wayland for example? I know that X11 is still around, but its development isn't exactly lively anymore. Most of the team has migrated over to Wayland which is catching up quick. Im curious to see how a project such as this could tackle such an issue.

Packages for openSUSE 15.4
by Gianluca Interlandi 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Hi! The distribution openSUSE 15.4 will be supported until the end of November. I wonder how long the TDE packages for openSUSE 15.4 (the current ones are R14.1.0) will be available online and can be downloaded past the official end of support of the distribution? Thanks!

Tde on Freebsd
by PMnemo 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Re Tde on Freebsd Please note I'm not sure if this is the right place for this request, if it is not could you inform me or move to to the correct place Background I built tde from ports then put the resulting packages onto a usb stick Then by editing Freebsd.conf to read from the usb I was able to install tde onto another machine from the usb In the same way as if it was a linux machine Request Therefore as you (TDE) have to do the same ie: build to ensure they compile ok it would mean you have tde freebsd source & packages Could you then treat these packages the same as you do the linux ones ie make available via http(s) All a freebsd user would have to do then is add it (the http(s) info ) to Freebsd.conf as a repo & install tde the same as any other freebsd desktop pkg This would also mean we don't have to wait for freebsd to decide to host tde packages PMnemo Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

network issues
by William Morder 28 Oct '23

28 Oct '23

Now I have developed issues with my network connection. And, just to be clear, I tried a basic reinstallation of my system, devuan chimaera, downloaded TDE packages from the stable repositories, didn't do anything weird, nor any self-styled hacks. The tdenetworkmanager now will not permit me to deactivate my connection, but defiantly autoconnects. I went into the settings and disabled the autoconnect, yet it still reappears. When I went into the xfce desktop (which I never use, except for troubleshooting, such as times like this, I got a message that said that I was not authorized to change network connections. The only way that I am able to turn off the wifi connection is by using iwconfig and ifconfig. I am thinking of uninstalling the tdenetworkmanager and the gnome networkmanager on which I believe it relies, and to go back to using wicd for a while. I feel like I am losing my mind. I have not changed anything in my basic settings or installation patterns in *years*. And I mean, years and years and years. I've been doing it exactly like this since about 2012 or so, when I first changed over from the old KDE3 desktop (on Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04) to the earliest versions of the TDE desktop, once I figured out how to get it working. I've done it like this through Kubuntu, Debian, and now Devuan. If something major has changed which is affecting all these different applications, I have not seen anything in the tech news and gossip. Furthermore, as I said earlier, my new keyboard/mouse combon will not work at all with TDE's Secure Attention Key, so it looks like I will be returning it to exchange for something that is explicitly made to work with a Linux system. Please, if anybody has even a clue what's going on, say something, as I am lost here. Bill
