Migration of services - 1. web server
by Slávek Banko 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Hi all, I'm launching a series of threads related to the migration of individual services. The main web server was listed first. -- Migration status -- The web server is already successfully migrated to the virtual machine on the tde-box. It was migrated almost unchanged. The changes concerned only: 1. Service alerts - instead of a manually maintained page, the real status of services is now displayed. Additional work is required to ensure that the retrieval status of the services is properly distributed among the individual servers where the services are active (eg, the mail server for the status of the mailing list services). 2. API documentation - search is not active, instead of Qt3 documentation TQt documentation is now published, instead of old KDE documentation, TDE documentation is published (tdelibs and tdebase). Further changes will be needed here. However, there will be a need to discuss how to maintain and generate documentation. 3. Supported RFEs - the page is now static and since we do not currently have a way to accept monetary donations, this page is suitable for removal and replacement in a new way sometime in the future. 4. List of active mirrors - now provides a better overview of the status of mirrors. -- What needs to be done -- 1. Webhook for automatic update when pushing commits to git. 2. New bot for recording history / interaction on IRC and Jabber rooms. Currently, IRC history is being retrieved from the old Tim's server. 3. There could be some small changes in style - for example, for better display on mobile devices. 4. The menu could be revised - there some links are almost duplicated - Documentation × API Docs, some fully duplicated Home/Contact × Support, Bugs × Support/Bugs, Wiki × Support/Wiki. 5. Some changes in the content. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the web server? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

Umlaute and other keyboard special characters
by Gianluca Interlandi 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

Dear TDE users, I just installed TDE on openSUSE Leap 15.2 and I really like it. Thank you so much! I have a question about special keyboard characters such as the german Umlaute ä, ö, ü or the italian/french accents. Normally in Linux you can hold down the key <Shift> and then press <Ctrl>, which sets you into "Compose mode". Then, you can press for example the high quotes " and then a voyel like a, o, u and they are displayed with the dots on top. This is not working in openSUSE Leap 15.2 with TDE (same with LXDE). It just prints '"a'. In past versions, I had to set the variable QT_IM_MODULE to xim, but in openSUSE Leap 15.2 it is already set to xim and I still cannot compose Umlaute or accents. If anybody has any ideas or has figured it out, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Is there a quick hack for this?
by dep 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi, everybody! In that gThumb, which I used for years, has had everything useful about it removed, I sought alternatives. I often need to edit IPTC data embedded in photographs; while gThumb used to do this well it now does it poorly. For most uses, I employ the excellent Photini (https://photini.readthedocs.io/en/latest/other/installation.html ), but from time to time I need just to pop into a picture to check or edit the IPTC data. The Trinity version of Gwenview is good for this. But to get to those data, one needs Plugins > Images > Metadata >Edit IPTC. Possibly because it comes apparently from a plugin, there's no way I can find to shorten this chain -- certainly can't move it to, say, a toolbar. So I'm wondering if in fact there is a way to do just that, either move it to a top-level menu or to add it to the toolbar. I realize that this would probably involve screwing around with the code. And yes, I know it's probably in opposition to standards set by the World Health Organization or UEFA or somebody. I'm just hoping that someone here is familiar enough with the code to give me an idea what I need to change to produce the desired ressult. Thanks! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

Hi all! I have a monitor with 2560x1440 pixel. When I open an image with kuickshow in fullscreen with scale to fit the creen then the image is not always centered and shows artefacts in the supposed-to-black regions of the screen (see screenshot). Anybody seen this happen before? nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

To put it another way. If I right click on an image in Gwenview I get a menu. That menu includes "External tools." There is an item there, "Configure External Tools." It lets you call any program you have on your computer. I can configure it to call Word 5.5 running in a DOS emulator! And, if there were a way to call the metadata editor from there, job done. Ah, but . . . I have no idea what Gwenview is doing, up there deep in the bowels of the Plugins menu, to cause the metadata editor, a/k/a /opt/trinity/share/services/kipiplugin_metadataedit.desktop , to appear. Byut there is surely something that Gwenview does to call it, and if I knew what that was I could use it as the command argument to call the thing from the menu generated by the RMB on the image I intend to improve. So: Does anyone know what Gwenview does to get kipiplugin_metadataedit to run? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

Trinity on openSUSE Leap 15.2
by Gianluca Interlandi 19 Jun '21

19 Jun '21

Hi! I am planning to install the Trinity desktop on openSUSE Leap 15.2. I have the following questions: 1) On the Instructions website it says: "2. Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository". I am curious why that is. Do the Trinity packages depend on packages in the PACKMAN repositories or is it so that the most up to date multimedia packages are installed? 2) Is it possible to use the kwin-decor-suse2-0.4.1 style in the Trinity desktop? I understand that KDE3 and Trinity packages cannot coexist, but would it be in principle possible to download the RPM: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_Leap_15.2/x86… le-suse2-0.4.1-lp152.57.2.x86_64.rpm and move the files to folders where Trinity would find them? Or, is there a window decoration style in Trinity that looks similar to SUSE2 decor? 3) What about the font "misc-console"? This used to be available in KDE3, but I do not see a similar package in the Trinity repositories. Thank you very much in advance for helping me with these questions!

Is there any saving of KMenu?
by dep 17 Jun '21

17 Jun '21

Greets, folks . . . I just now spent five minutes looking in vain for PDF Arranger in my kmenu. I have no doubt it's there, but in the decades of KDE3x and TDE I've yet to have the kmenu search box work even once; meanwhile, items in the submenus are spashed across them with no sense nor reason I can find -- Settings, System, and Utilities are in many respects one submenu distributed at random across three. Install a new application? Where is it in the kmenu? It's not a menu, it's a *game*! (Example: I have the Gramps genealogy application installed. It's even on the kmenu. Wanna know where it got stuck? Office > Database.) This doesn't matter if you have just a few applications installed. More than that and you're screwed. The problem is exacerbated by new applications being installed any old place within a submenu. Might be at the top. Might be at the bottom. Might be in the middle. (And of course the classic favorite, in some other sub- or sub-submenu entirely.) To make the game even more challenging, there's no practical way to bring order to it. There's no way to arrange the applications in alphabetical order within a submenu. And for advanced players, kmenu is festooned with some script that without user intervention prevents the desktop from starting at all! Surely there's got to be a way to automagically (or let users) organize the kmenu in TDE. Because as it stands, and has stood for decades, it's an unholy mess. Is there a recipe or script or, well, anything? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/

by dep 13 Jun '21

13 Jun '21

now i was merrily editing my kmenu. saved it, opened it -- and it has sprouted a heretofore nonexistent category of "most used applications." it definitely wasn't there an hour ago. how do i make it go away? if you like it, i'm glad it's there for you. but i don't want it! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
