I was wondering if any of my fellow TDE users and TDE developers have
ever experimented with the KDE connect app/system. I have installed it
on my Debian/12 system and Android phone, and it appears to be working.
However, I don't think I am using all of the functionality, and cannot
find documentation on how to do so. It seems like a powerful thing to
have for connectivity between the desktop and phone.
This might be a great addition to the TDE desktop.
Regards, and Merry Christmas to all !

Just wondering if there is a way to do this, such as:
sudo /etc/init.d/<dcop or whatever> restart
I don't know what caused this issue; maybe it was because I had left my laptop
running without rebooting for a very long time?
Everything else seems to be running as I want (fingers crossed), so I have
just been able to relax a bit and let the machine go, as I have got it
properly trained, and it never disobeys me.
So this was a surprise. What happened, first, is that I could not check email,
even after I had just sent an email a few minutes earlier. Then when I tried
to open a new window in konqueror, I got the same message about dcop
launcher.
When I rebooted at last, everything seems back to normal, but I wonder if this
is not a sign of other problems that I need to address.
It seems that restarting dcop would do the trick, but I know very little about
this part of how these things actually work.
Any recommendations or insights are welcome. Nothing urgent, I think, but I
would still like better to understand what's going on.

Dear all,
Sorry if this may be off topic for TDE. I have a NVIDIA GT 1030 video
card. I installed the proprietary driver version 535.146.02. The audio
works fine from a fresh boot. However, if I recover from either suspend or
hibernate pulseaudio stops working. The TDE sounds still work and mplayer
can also play sound. However, firefox and vlc cannot. If I start vlc with
a simple movie with sound, it says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
Connection refused.
I did not have this problem with the opensource nouveau driver. Is there a
way to restart pulseaudio? I tried with
pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start
But that didn't make a difference. It seems that alsasound works but not
pulseaudio. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Gianluca
PS: Also when I click on kmix there are now three choices: "Pulseaudio",
"HDA Intel" and "HDA NVidia". Before installing the driver there were only
the first two.

I got myself a second monitor and got everything setup to my liking with
TDE, except one annoying behaviour.
When a program goes into "full screen" mode on one monitor (like media
player or youtube in web browser) it covers kicker panels (as it should,
everything is correct here), but as soon as any window on another monitor
gets focus, panels appear on top of that fulls screen window.
Setting "Allow other windows to cover panel" fixes this issue, but
introduces other undesirable behaviour - maximize now covers panels, and
windows snaps to actual edges of the screen, not to panels
Is there any way to prevent panels from showing on top of
out-of-focus fullscreen window on another monitor or
do something like "allow only fullscreen windows to
cover panel"?

But it is nevertheless 'In release", but not to me nor doubtless others.
I would like to return as soon as possible to the Trinity fold.

I only just found this. Possibly same with the rest of us?

Hi all!
I think it is time to submit some new screenshots for the TDE homepage, what do you think?
Here are 3 taken from my T480, dark themed according to the season. Maybe "somebody" could put them on the screenshot page :)
BTW: can't we have a screenshots page that shows all screenshots? The srolling version is kind of ok, but a gallery (as before) would be more convenient.

I have a bunch of Mageia 8 installations, including a few on 32 bits. 8 support
just expired, so I've updated most of them for the last time, some to backported
6.1 kernels, others staying on 5.15. My only Athlon XP locks up locally booted to
TDM on the 6.1 kernel, but seems fine on 5.15. Booted 6.1 to multi-user.target,
and TDE started with startx, seems to be fine, indicating it's only TDM with the
6.1 kernel problem. The only dmesg/journal clues found from TDM and 6.1 seem to be
timeout related, and only in the journal. Same PC with Bookworm and 6.1 seem fine too.
Any similar observations? Anybody still using a 32bit Athlon with TDE?
