Creating TDE Themes: kate/kwrite colors missing
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Hi all! I just noticed, that creating a TDE theme does not include the color settings for kate and kwrite. Is there a way to include these into the *.xml of the theme? Or by some other trick? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

kmail and OAUth
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hello all, My school uses Office 365, also for mail. I used to be able to get my mail using imap and be able to answer these mails using Office's smtp. Now they activated two factor authentication and kmail can't access anymore. I had to remove this imap access as it tended to block kmail (that was waiting for me to act on it's error message). I've solved the problem of receiving the mail (which is the most important) by simply forwarding to my usual account (which is linked to my website). However, I have to log in m$ stuff (online) to answer because Oulook refuses mails from my private mail server. It looks like they use something named OAuth and this does not appear to exist in TDE's kmail. Does someone know if it's possible to tweak settings so as to communicate with OAuth? I can try to ask our IT people but they usually simply answer that Linux is not supported and I should run Windows... Thierry

Using Python3 for Superkaramba
by Slávek Banko 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hi all, we would like to inform you that the DEB packages for Superkaramba in PSB and PTB repositories have been updated to use Python3 instead of Python2. Please, if you are using Superkaramba and using PSB or PTB, please test that the sensors work with Python3 as they did with Python2. If you experience problems, please report it. Thank you! Cheers -- Slávek

Anyone know how to turn off the touchpad on my newish HP laptop? The X synaptics tool doesn't do it. Leslie -- Operating System: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.12 tde-config: 1.0

OpenSuSE vs. Debian kcontrol
by J Leslie Turriff 16 Sep '22

In the OpenSuSE version of kcontrol, the first item in the TDE Components group is Autostart Manager, but this item does not appear in the Debian version of kcontrol.

.DCOPserver_<HOST>__?, lDCOPserver_<HOST>_:? gone missing
by J Leslie Turriff 15 Sep '22

15 Sep '22

I've been doing a lot of customizing on my new Devuan machine from the root account. When I tried to switch users to my unprivileged account I was unable to login because of a DCOP: | There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The message returned by the system was: | | Could not read network connection list. | /home/leslie/.DCOPserver_palomino__1 | | Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! ps aux|grep -i dcop shows |root 15175 0.0 0.1 49316 10244 ? S 04:42 0:00 dcopserver [tdeinit] --nosid --suicide I also see that root has .DCOPserver_<HOST>__0 and a symlink, .DCOPserver_<HOST>_:0 pointing to it; these are missing in account leslie. Is there a way to recover from this, or do I have to recreate the account?

Trouble Installing TDE in Devuan Chimaera
by J Leslie Turriff 14 Sep '22

14 Sep '22

I have acquired a used HP Probook 440 G5, on which I have installed Devuan Chimaera. The Chimaera installer balked at adding | deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free | deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free which continue to fail to work after the install completed; I'm not sure just what they provide and if they are really necessary; I couldn't find any useful information about them in a web search. Perhaps these need to be working before installing Trinity? I followed the install instructions in the Trinity Wiki page <https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Devuan_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst…>, but | apt-get update fails with 'E: The repository ... does not have a Release file.' (see attached command output, etc.). Since all of my experience with Linux has been with openSUSE and RedHat, I'm not sure what to do to resolve these issues. Help!? :-) Leslie -- Operating System: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.12 tde-config: 1.0

I am using Slackware64 15.0. However, rather than using Slackware's TeX packages, I just install texlive and get it over with. Are you using texlive, or OpenSUSE's TeX packages? And, in either case, if you copy xdvi from a working system and try it out on your system, does it work? You might consider submitting a bug report to the OpenSUSE people (assuming you are using their package, and not texlive). Jim

I never implied that. Sorry, when you said "I can use okular to display the .dvi document, but I miss how fast xdvi is."

In a > OpenSUSE 13.2 installation I have for example: > /usr/lib64/ghostscript/9.15/X11.so > Would that be enough? I'd guess not. That library provides gs the ability to output to X11 devices, and (in my tests) it is needed to display .eps images in xdvi, but I speculate you need the ghostscript executable (which is /usr/bin/gs on my system). If you copy that over from your old system to your new system, don't forget it needs to be found before the system one vis-a-vis your $PATH setting. My version of gs has the path name for that directory hard-coded into the executable. (On my system the path name for ghostscript's X11.so library is '/usr/lib64/ghostscript/9.55.0', but on your system that will be something different.) Consequently, if you try copying the gs from your old system to your new one, and they are different versions of gs (which is presumably the case) you will have to create the correctly-named directory on your new system and put the library in that directory. With luck, the old version of gs will play nicely with the (presumably) newer versions of all the libraries on your new system. If it doesn't, you can go deeper down the rabbit hole in a number of ways, but at that point you might want to accept defeat and use okular. (I could suggest some ways to proceed, but I really doubt you will find the spending of the required time productive. Much better to get on with blood clotting research. My vet tells me dog blood clots many times faster than human blood, but I didn't have the presence of mind to ask her if she knew why that is so. Maybe you know.) > I also realized that my subject line should have read "OpenSUSE 15.2", not > 15.3, but that may not be as relevant now. Only, I suppose, if you were submitting a bug report or talking to another OpenSUSE person about this issue. Jim
