Pretty cool

Here's the modern, grown-up analog to the computer-in-keyboard devices of s generation (or, could it be, two generations) ago. Because it has Raspberry Pi 5 innards (plus 16 gigs of memory and a decent SSD), it will run a full Linux install -- Raspberry PiOS is Debian, currently Bookworm -- and I have run TDE on a Pi 5 eith no problem. At $200 it is expensive for a Raspberry but with, now, a good keyboard, cheap for a decent computer. https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/25/peak_pi_reached_with_raspberry/?td=r… dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

The continuing story of scanning software
by dep 23 Sep '25

23 Sep '25

In that there seemed to be a degree of interest, I thought I'd put on record this week's impressions of scanning software I've tried. Kooka -- as previously noted, it is just about impossible to establish a workflow. Works, in an emergency. EpsonScan2 -- segfaults at launch, which many of us would find a significant limitation. SimpleScan -- lacks configuration options and just, well, simple. IScan -- the original Epson native scanning application. Works well, but for instance when saving it starts with ~/ *every single time,* so you spend more time navigating your hard drive than actually scanning. GIMP -- nothing is simple with the GIMP, and scanning is no exception. I apparently have the plugins installed correctly -- itself an ordeal -- but haven't yet found a way to get GIMP to scan. Skanlite -- a surprise, and the current winner. Offers both image settings and applicating settings. Assumes that there's a good chance that it you saved the scan you made 90 seconds ago in a particular directory, you might want to save the one you made just now in that directory. Very much like the much better Windows version of the native Epson software. Unlike any non-VueScan Linux scanning software except IScan, can scan transparancies. KDE native, so it doesn't download half the Synaptic Debian repository. Has weird resolution settings, though, somewhat inexplicably but there might be a reason. Anyway, if your scanner is SANE-compliant, Skanlite seems the way to go. Apparently last built when KDE was doing whatever they were doing in 2020. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kleopatra
by Robert B. Carleton 22 Sep '25

22 Sep '25

I've been trying to load a p12 file into Kleopatra using Q4OS Aquarius, and Andromeda. I wasn't able to load the p12 into Aquarius at all. In Andromeda, I can load the certificate into Kleopatra, but once it's there, I can't decrypt received email messages in KMail. It throws an error when I enter the protection password for the certificate, then press okay. Something else I noticed, is there seems to be a status bar on the lower right hand side of the Kleopatra user interface. It seems to indicate a partially completed task at all times. I've mostly used Kleopatra Version 4.0.0.241203 (24.12.3) under Debian Trixie, so I'm still getting familiar with the version in Trinity. Any tips on some more things I could check? I've started tdepim issue for this: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdepim/issues/169 I don't know if there is some kind of missing user knowledge, or perhaps a workaround for this issue. I'd be happy to add some more updates to issue 169 if that helps in the troubleshooting. TIA, --Bruce

Split Screen / Tile Management (picture by picture)
by Michael 20 Sep '25

Does TDE have either? I want to get an ultra wide and place Desktop 1 and Desktop 2 side by side on the monitor screen at the same time (picture by picture). Technically, I guess I don’t need too? Just put all the apps from both on one desktop and manually keep them to their ‘side.’ Thanks, Michael

This looks interesting and I may give it an appimage shot. The fellow who wrote it likes it. https://github.com/patrickfournier/gorfector?tab=readme-ov-file dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kooka configuration
by dep 18 Sep '25

18 Sep '25

Greets, everybody . . . I have a need to scan in a bunch of pictures and documents using my Epson photo scanner. As is not unexpected, the reasonably good Epson-supplied scanning software core dumps. So I've looked at the other installed scanning software, which is xsane, which kinda-sorta works, Simple Scan, ditto, and Kooka, almost ditto. Kooka shows some hope, but it seems really flaky. For a start, it wants to put scans in "Kooka Gallery," but there is none such on my machine, so I can't tell where the hell it's putting them, though it seems to be saving them somewhere. I decided to RTFM, and right from the start, the screen shown does not at all resemble the Kooka I am running. I thought it might help to nuke ~.config/kookarc, but there isn't one. Has anybody used it? I would consider VueScan, which by all accounts is excellent but which is $150, and that sucks. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Kmail changes some folder settings to default after a system hang.
by J Leslie Turriff 16 Sep '25

16 Sep '25

Occasionally, after my system hangs (after forgetting to kill my Firefox instances), Kmail forgets my customized folder settings (thread messages, prefer html, sort message list latest first) and I have to reset them all. Sometimes, too, it erases all of my mail filters. Does anyone know what might cause this, and how to prevent it?
