fish: vs. sftp:
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

Hi all! I just noticed that on daedalus sftp:/...-URLs do not work any more. Konqueror is stuck with a rotating circle and eventually times out. fish:/...-URLs work, but calculating the disk size of remote directories is kind of buggy, e.g. 22GB are counted as 9GB. Did somebody see this, too? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Re: Preserving current layout on keyboard reconnect

I never use bluetooth (never saw this work correctly) but I do use a KVM so I'd guess the keyboard is also on and off. It seems TDE can use keyboard settings from the system, but I always set my keyboard in TCC -> Regional & accessibility -> Keyboard Layout and never had problems. Don't know if that can help, but as you asked for "any" tip :) Thierry

Preserving current layout on keyboard reconnect
by Maciej Pilichowski 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

Hello all, After switching from traditional USB keyboard to BT one I noticed, that after each reconnect the keyboard layout is reset to hardware default. Meaning I have two layouts -- Polish and Russian -- after a while when not using keyboard, it sleeps (to save power), and on reconnect I have US layout (which is not on the list). For comparison XFCE also does this for a split of second, but then warms up and changes layout to the correct one. Is there some trick I could use to get back my layout automatically (for now I manually switch layout twice per reconnect)? Thank you in advance for any tips. Cheers, -- http://przypadkopis.wordpress.com/

No more getting the login manager
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

OK, I'm looking like a newbie there, but I'm willing to learn :) Short story: I had a Thinkpad running Buster Today upgraded it to Bullseye, went fine Then I removed xfce (I guess this was the problematic move). Now my system boots to a prompt: login: If I do login, then startx, I get TDE. I've tried "systemctl set-default graphical.target" but no change. I know I can reinstall my backup but I'm sure there's someone here who will point me to the right way to start with the TDE login manager. Note that after removing xfce, at first it *did* boot to TDE login. Then it stopped doing it, and startx boot to... Gnome. I then removed Gnome and ran dpkg-reconfigure, so now startx starts TDE... but I have to login and startx. I'm a bit lost :( Thierry

Ubuntu 20.04 adding an icon link to app, trinity freezes
by Uwe Brauer 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hi A friend of mine is using Ubuntu 20.04 (I still stick to 16.04) and the corresponding trinity version, as described in https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Ubuntu_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… It is possible to add a new icon, that links to an app, however, if one tries to chose a different png for better display the system starts to search, stops at 13% and we have to reboot the whole machine. Any idea what is the problem? Regards Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the ban of Russia from SWIFT. I support the EU membership of the Ukraine.

Linux Magazine's article on TDE

Not sure if it's a hit piece or legitimate news reporting, but I recently found this: https://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2022/254/Trinity-Desktop I didn't buy the article, so no telling what their conclusion is. Thought I'd share, best, Michael

No image thumbnails when accessing USB device via popup after plugging in
by Leskala 03 Jul '22

03 Jul '22

Hello everyone, when I plug in an USB storage device containing images like an SD card reader, Konqueror doesn't show thumbnails (previews) of image files on that device if I open it via the automatic popup window that is displayed after plugging in the device. There seem to be 3 distinct ways to reach the USB storage ("/dev/sdb1/" in this example) in Konqueror: 1. "system:/media/sdb1" - reached when plugging in an USB device and choosing "Open in New Window" from the popup - (popup configured via "Peripherals" > "Storage Media" in the control center) - image thumbnails do not work! 2. "media:/sdb1" - using the menu "Go" > "Storage Media" in Konqueror - image thumbnails work 3. "/media/<user>/<label>/" - actual path for the internal mountpoint, needs to be manually navigated to - image thumbnails work Number 1 is the problematic one and is the path Konqueror opens from the automatic storage media popup. I always have to resort to manually navigating to one of the other 2 paths in order to get image thumbnails to work, rendering the convenience of the automatic popup useless in cases where images are involved. Is there any way to fix this? Best regards, Leskala

Spell checking issue
by Marvin Jones 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Confused I am. Some of that is probably of my own making. I know I have a mis-spelled word in "a" spellchecker. And, it appears I have both 'standard' spell checkers in play: both `ispell` and `aspell`. `kwrite` seems to be using ispell `nano` seems to be using aspell Well, I've noticed that the spell checker in kwrite is happy with the spelling "everyting". nano is unhappy with the spelling "everyting", as it should be. The only user spellchecker files I can find in $HOME/ are: .aspell.en.pws .aspell.en.prepl There are no .ispell* files in $HOME/ There's no "everyting" in .aspell.en.pws - as confirmed by nano. I can find no other user file in $HOME/ that seems to be related to any spellchecker. But I know I've added 'words' in kwrite -- especially often-used acronyms, Two questions: Where is the user file for ispell's user added words? Can someone point me to a decent HOW-TO to set my system (Ubuntu) to use just _one_ of the spell checkers? Maybe I could clear up my multiple spell checker confusion. Well, I guess I have a third query: Could someone that uses ispell confirm whether or not "everyting" is in ispell's global dictionary?

TDE display control messes up colors on RPi with full KMS driver
by Leskala 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Hello everyone, I'm running TDE R14.0.12 on Debian 11 (bullseye) using a Raspberry Pi 2B. With the Debian 11 (bullseye) release of the Raspberry Pi OS, the RPi offers 2 display drivers: "vc4-kms-v3d" (full KMS) and "vc4-fkms-v3d" (fake KMS). Till Debian 10 the fake one was default, now it is the full KMS and the fake KMS driver is supposed to be no longer actively supported (though it can still be switched to). The new default driver (full KMS) poses new issues with the display handling of TDE in terms of color (or gamma) management. As soon as TDE's display management is used, the colors get all weird like the whole screen gets rainbow-colored with very low color depth. Here's a photo I took (it doesn't show up on screenshots): https://i.imgur.com/DIaIP9m.jpeg - using xrandr or TDERandRTray to switch resolutions is fine - using the Trinity control center's "System Administration" > "Monitor & Display" > "Enable global display control" will make colors go crazy as shown in the photo - moving the "Hardware Gamma Control" sliders in the control center will alter the shades of rainbow colors but never fixes the general color distortion - using "xrandr --output HDMI-1 --gamma 1:1:1" will fix colors until reboot - when global display control is enabled, this is persistent and colors will go crazy as soon as TDM starts after bootup I'd like to keep the new (full KMS) driver since the old fkms one always had other issues were KMix's audio volumes would scale between -350% and -400% (yes, negative values) while alsamixer being at 50%, effectively preventing any working volume control in TDE since sliders start at 0. This is fixed with the full KMS driver as it handles the audio devices differently. However, with the new driver I can't make permanent adjustments to screen resolutions with TDE (only temporary with RandR) as I encounter the color bug as described above. Is there anything I can do about it? Should I file a bug somewhere? Best regards, Leskala
