For the upcoming #TDE R14.1.6 release, we have carried out a long overdue update of the builtin search engines. We have also grouped them into various categories and reworked the GUI to simplify the configuration process.
Use the runner window with Alt+F2 to get the best out of the updated engines.
Find out more at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/677.
Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.

Info for #Trinity developers, packagers and builders.
kvirc can now be built with cmake. Until the release of R14.1.6, both cmake and automake builds will be supported, afterward automake support will be removed and only cmake will be available. Make sure to update your building scripts as needed.
This is part of the continuous effort to migrate all #TDE code base to cmake builds. Check the current status at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/9
# CMake conversion status This issue serves as an overview of CMake conversion status. If you build TDE from source code, it will help you to determine whether the module can be built with CMake or whether Automake is needed. ## Common - [x] admin - Not applicable - [x] libltdl - [x] libtdevnc ## Dependencies - [x] akode - [x] arts - [x] avahi-tqt - [x] dbus-1-tqt - [x] dbus-tqt - [x] libart-lgpl - [x] libcaldav - [x] libcarddav - [x] libr - [x] polkit-tqt - [ ] pytqt - [ ] sip4-tqt - [x] tde-cmake - [x] tqca - [x] tqscintilla - [ ] tqt3 - [x] tqtinterface ## Main - [x] tde-i18n - [x] tdeaccessibility - [x] tdeaddons - [x] tdeadmin - [x] tdeartwork - [x] tdebase - [ ] tdebindings - [x] tdeedu - [x] tdegames - [x] tdegraphics - [x] tdelibs - [x] tdemultimedia - [x] tdenetwork - [x] tdepim - [x] tdesdk - [x] tdetoys - [x] tdeutils - [x] tdevelop - [x] tdewebdev ## Libraries - [ ] kipi-plugins - [x] libkdcraw - [x] libkexiv2 - [x] libkipi - [x] libksquirrel - [x] libtdeldap - [ ] libtqt-perl - [ ] pytde - [ ] pytdeextensions ## Applications - [x] abakus - [x] amarok - [x] basket - [x] bibletime - [x] codeine - [x] compizconfig-backend-tdeconfig - [x] desktop-effects-tde - [x] digikam - [x] dolphin - [x] filelight - [x] gtk-qt-engine - [x] gtk3-tqt-engine - [x] gwenview-i18n - [x] gwenview - [x] k3b-i18n - [x] k3b - [x] k9copy - [x] kaffeine - [x] kasablanca - [x] katapult - [x] kbarcode - [x] kbfx - [x] kbibtex - [x] kbiff - [x] kbookreader - [x] kchmviewer - [x] kcmautostart - [x] kcmldap - [x] kcmldapcontroller - [x] kcmldapmanager - [x] kcpuload - [x] kdbg - [x] kdbusnotification - [x] kdiff3 - [x] kdirstat - [x] kdpkg - [x] keep - [x] kerberostray - [x] keximdb - [x] kftpgrabber - [x] kgtk-qt3 - [x] kile - [x] kima - [x] kiosktool - [x] kkbswitch - [x] klamav - [x] klcddimmer - [x] kmplayer - [x] kmyfirewall - [x] kmymoney - [x] knemo - [x] knetload - [x] knetstats - [x] knights - [x] knmap - [x] knowit - [x] knutclient - [x] koffice-i18n - [ ] koffice - [x] kommando - [x] kompose - [x] konversation - [x] kooldock - [x] kopete-otr - [x] kpicosim - [x] kpilot - [x] kplayer - [x] krecipes - [x] krename - [x] krusader - [x] kscope - [x] ksensors - [x] kshowmail - [x] kshutdown - [x] ksplash-engine-moodin - [x] ksquirrel - [x] kstreamripper - [x] ksystemlog - [x] ktechlab - [x] ktorrent - [x] kvirc - [x] kvkbd - [x] kvpnc - [x] kxmleditor - [x] mathemagics - [x] mplayerthumbs - [x] piklab - [x] polkit-agent-tde - [x] potracegui - [x] qalculate-tde - [x] rosegarden - [x] smartcardauth - [x] smb4k - [x] soundkonverter - [x] tastymenu - [x] tde-ebook-reader - [x] tde-guidance - [x] tde-style-baghira - [x] tde-style-domino - [x] tde-style-ia-ora - [x] tde-style-lipstik - [x] tde-style-polyester - [x] tde-style-qtcurve - [x] tde-systemsettings - [x] tdebluez - [x] tdedocker - [x] tdeio-appinfo - [x] tdeio-apt - [x] tdeio-ftps - [x] tdeio-gopher - [x] tdeio-locate - [x] tdeio-sword - [x] tdeio-umountwrapper - [x] tdealternatives - [x] tdeknighttour - [x] tdenetworkmanager - [x] tdepacman - [x] tdepowersave - [x] tderadio - [x] tdesshaskpass - [x] tdesudo - [x] tdesvn - [x] tdmtheme - [x] tellico - [x] tork - [x] twin-style-crystal - [x] twin-style-dekorator - [x] twin-style-fahrenheit - [x] twin-style-machbunt - [x] twin-style-mallory - [x] twin-style-suse2 - [x] wlassistant - [x] xdg-desktop-portals-tde - [x] yakuake
Yeah, Macintosh System 7.1 or so is pretty peak #UI.
You can also spin up a VM for, let's say, Ubuntu 10.04 pretty easily. Whatever was the last Gnome 2.x Ubuntu release.
Also, some distros and probably BSDs have #TDE, the #TrinityDesktopEnvironment, which is based on KDE 3.x, I believe.
You could also just try Mate, but I actually prefer old Gnome 2 to Mate in side-by-side comparisons.
Compatibility options and currency signs have been added to #TDE kxkb under the "Miscellaneous options" section. See the screenshot below for a before/after comparison.
Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.
#TDE applications sometimes hanged when visualizing some specific Unicode characters using specific fonts. This was due to a bug in TQt related to glyphs rendering. The bug has been fixed and will be part of the upcoming R14.1.6 release. See https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tqt/issues/270 for more info.
Updated PSB/PTB packages will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.
## Basic information - TDE version: R14.2.0 (master) - Distribution: Gentoo - Hardware: amd64 ## Description [`TQTextEngine::shape()`](https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tqt/src/commit/6ec5d7ec4ff7cfbb52866b28c8b36e5ea3ee31d1/src/kernel/tqtextengine_unix.cpp#L98) hangs up on some characters in particular `เค (U+0908) DEVANAGARI LETTER II`. This is likely a cause for https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdeutils/issues/93 . ## Steps to reproduce 1. Build: ```cpp // Build with g++ $(pkg-config --cflags --libs tqt-mt) foo.cpp #include <tqapplication.h> #include <tqlabel.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const unsigned char devanagari_letter_ii_u8[] = {0xE0, 0xA4, 0x88, 0x00}; TQApplication app(argc, argv); TQLabel l(TQString::fromUtf8((const char*)devanagari_letter_ii_u8), 0); app.setMainWidget(&l); l.show(); return app.exec(); } ``` 2. Run it 3. It hangs up ## Screenshots <details> <summary>(gdb) bt</summary> ```d #0 0x00007ffff70b4e58 in __memmove_sse2_unaligned_erms () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff78fb497 in memcpy

KMail was not able to correctly verify the GPG signatures of messages that were both encrypted and signed, although it had no problems with signed but non encrypted messages. This has now been fixed and will be part of the upcoming #TDE R14.1.6 release.
More info can be found at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tdepim/issues/187 and https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tdepim/issues/190.
Updated PSB/PTB packages are or will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.
I recently started using KMail in conjunction with GPG to encrypt and sign outgoing emails, as well as decrypt and verify signatures of incoming emails. While encryption, decryption, and signing works as expected, verifying signatures does not. Let's say I have a contact whose all public GPG keys are imported into my GPG keyring - this includes the master certifying [C] key, as well as authentication [A], signing [S], and encryption [E] sub-keys. I stress that the certifying key has no signing capability and there is a separate signing sub-key. This differs from GPG defaults, which, when generating a master key, give it both certifying and signing capability [CS]. However, a common practice is to remove the signing capability from the master key and have a dedicated signing key - this setup follows that practice. When I receive email signed with [S] subkey, KMail cannot verify the signature; it claims that while the signature is valid, the key with which the message was signed is unknown. However, the supposedly unknown key is a signing sub-key imported into my keyring. This suggests that when KMail tries to verify a signature, it only looks at master keys present in GPG keyring, but not their sub-keys. I think this is wrong. Other observations: * If email comes from someone, whose master key is both certifying and signing [CS], the signature is verified without problems. * An interesting case is signing of sent emails. Email is signed correctly, but the reported key fingerprint is that of a master key, not the signing key. This is where my GPG knowledge reaches its limit: my master key only has [C] capability, but not [S] - therefore it should not be possible to sign anything with it. I also note, that if I send email to myself, KMail can correctly verify the signature, i.e. based on the fingerprint of a master key it correctly finds the signing subkey. Putting it all together, it seems that KMail assumes that when an email is signed, fingerprint of the master key needs to be provided. Given master key fingerprint, KMail can find a signing sub-key. However, it does not search subkeys by default, so when the signing fingerprint is that of a subkey, KMail cannot find it in the keyring. I note, that most other email clients (or: essentially all signed emails that I receive) provide only the signing subkey fingerprint, and thus their signatures cannot be verified. Please take these conjectures with a grain of salt though: I am not a GPG expert, nor am I knowledgeable about KMail's internals.
Info for #TDE users on Debian-like distros (either PSB/PTB or the next stable release).
In the last couple of weeks there has been some package renaming to better comply with Debian conventions. If you are experiencing #Trinity-related package conflicts while updating your system, please try one of the following methods:
1. apt-get full-upgrade
2. aptitude upgrade
3. apt upgrade (should be fine)
4. from aptitude TUI, use `U`
Few packages are affected so far and there may be some more coming.
In the past few days, several bug fixes for twin's translucency settings have been added to #TDE's code. Using translucency should now provide a smoother experience, with less annoying bugs that previously required restarting a session or twin.
For more info see the current WIP version of "R14.1.6 release notes" at https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/242.
Updated PSB/PTB packages are or will soon be available on the #Trinity mirrors.
