Control Center / superuser - problem in 14.1.0
by Mike Bird 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

I'm testing TDE 4:14.1.0 from PSB. There's a thread here about a mysterious tdehwdevicetray process which has been appearing in my systray. While investigating this I tried to go into Trinity Control Center / Peripherals / Device Manager. I enter the root password but I don't get a Device Manager. If I put in the wrong password it alerts me if I put in the correct password I don't get a Device Manager. Same happens with Trinity Control Center / System Administration / Monitor and Display. Can anyone replicate this before I file a bug report? Thanks, --Mike

Unwanted Device Manager in Panel
by Mike Bird 02 Apr '23

02 Apr '23

I'm testing TDE 4:14.1.0 from PSB. At least twice a "Device Manager" has appeared in my "Panel" (part of my Kicker setup along with the "Main Panel" and the "External Taskbar"). This Device Manager features two volumes: one is /boot/efi and another which I suspect is a Windows Recovery partition from when the laptop was first purchased. I REALLY don't want this "Device Manager" appearing and confusing and tempting end users. This "Device Manager" is not listed when I right click to "Remove From Panel" / Applet or Application. How please do I prevent this "Device Manager" from appearing here? Thanks, --Mike

kmail problem
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 01 Apr '23

01 Apr '23

Hi all! I just stumbled onto a problem in kmail that I think is present in 14.1.X but not earlier: When "answering to mailinglist" the sender adress is always the last used address. It does not use the aDress I set in the mail folder settings for that specific folder. Can somebody confirm this? I run kmail 4:14.1.0~s290-0debian12.0.1+11~a Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

OT: CISA and Industrial Control Systems
by J Leslie Turriff 31 Mar '23

I remember that someone on the User list works with CNC or some such, and I wonder if he knows that CISA <https://www.cisa.gov> regularly issues advisories about Industrial Control System vulnerabilities?

Keyring madness
by dep 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

Greets, folks . . . I'll not mention the three hours I spent yesterday trying to get the Thinkpad wireless working again -- it had been off for a few days -- or the multitude of diagnostics I ran, or how at the end I remembered the little physical switch that turns wifi off and on. It was on, but when I switched it off and then on again the wifi was suddenly fine. So, a reminder: flip off/on switches at least once every 15 years or so. No, won't mention that. But will mention something else that is driving me (further) insane: On the Thinkpad I now have *two* keyring popups, one, presumably gnomish, that wants my user password when I start the network, and the other, genuine TDE, that pops up when I start KMail. It, too, wants my user password but not my mail password. After entering these, all proceeds as hoped. I'd like to make them go away. I have searched the machine for any kind og keyring configuration file for either of these things, and have come up empty. The TDE Wallet Service version says "The application 'kmail' had requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet.' Please enter the password for this wallet below." Anyone know how I can make these things stop? I don't have anything running that I don't have running on the desktop machine, where I do not get the popups. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

TDE mailing list - email addresses
by William Morder 30 Mar '23

30 Mar '23

This has come up before, and gets discussed, but the problem seems to remain. Is there some way that we can get the mailing list to hide our personal emails from public view? I created an email template just for the TDE mailing list, so that my "reply to" address gives <users(a)trinitydesktop.org> as my email, so this works pretty well. But if I click to reply to somebody else's post, then I find that I often send an email directly to their personal address, and that my personal email address is also exposed. So far as I know, there is not a bad person who participates in this mailing list, and I don't mind if I get sent an email directly from anybody here, whether intentionally or by mistake. I often do the same to others. But it would be nice if we could keep our email addresses from being exposed to public view, and we all know some of the reasons: email harvesters and spammers and phishers and so on. Bill

Restructuring TDE donations - opinions wanted
by Michele Calgaro 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Hi everyone, so far donations to the TDE project have always ended up to Tim. Although he is the founder of the project, he has not really been involved in the daily matters and development for several years. In the past there has been talks to establish a non-profit TDE organization, but this has yet to happen. With release R14.1.0 coming soon, I would like to propose for donations to be temporarily redirected to Slavek, till the TDE non profit organization is established. Once the organization comes to birth, the amount of donations can be transferred over to it. A transparent public account of donations could be setup, so everyone would be free to see how donations would be used. If Slavek needed to pay additional taxes due to the temporary donation income, I suggest those would be paid out of the donations themselves. What is your opinion? There is about a month before R14.1.0 is released, so it would probably leave just enough time to prepare the new setup. Cheers Michele

Are there any guides or tips and tricks for planning a migration from Thunderbird to KMail? The wiki did not have anything. Thanks.

Is there a panel applet to add only a Lock Session button rather than the combo Lock/Logout applet? Thanks.
