Trojita, the fastest Email Client - Gmail Setup Guide

on
 I had recently switched to KDE from Gnome and was looking for an Alternative for Geary. I really liked how fast Geary was and neither Thunderbird nor KMail could act as a replacement for my need(Simple and fast). Before giving up for another Electron app, I gave a try to Trojita and immediately fell in love with its speed. It was blazingly fast to the extent even Geary could never match! This is a simple guide to setup Trojita for Gmail.  Sources: OMG Ubuntu Google Support Overview: You need to make use of App Passwords in Google Account in order to access Trojita through Gmail (The other way is to enable Less Secure App Access which doesn't sound inviting!). App Passwords, in turn, need 2-Factor Authentication turned on. After installing Trojita, you need to setup IMAP servers for Gmail. Turn on 2- Step Verification Set up App Passwords Install Trojita Logging in with Gmail 1. Turn on 2-StepVerification Open your Google Account . In the navigation panel, select Security...

How to Install and Open WPS Office in KDE Neon?

on

WPS Office is a popular MS Office clone for Linux and they provide better support for MS Office files than Libre Office or any other Office in Linux (as far as I know). But, WPS Office doesn't work well with Neon's KDE environment and fails to launch. So, I will explain the steps to install and setup WPS Office successfully in Neon.

  • Download the latest WPS Office from here.
  • Open the Downloads folder in Dolphin file manager and right click on the Debian package.
  • Select Open With --> QApt Package Installer. It is available in every KDE Neon installation.
  • Select Install and input your Password when requested.
  • Close it once the installation is over.
  • sudo dpkg --configure -a
Now, after installing, you may not be able to launch it when opening a document opening a document or in Applications menu. This is because of incompatibility with KDE. We have to make it fallback to GTK for it to work. Now follow these steps.
  • Right click the Application Launcher and select "Edit Applications".
  • Select Submenu WPS Writer under Office.
  • In the General tab, replace /usr/bin/wps %f with  /usr/bin/wps %f  -style gtk.
  • Similarly, add -style gtk to the existing commands for WPS Presentation and Spreadsheets.
  • Finally, click Save and close the Menu Editor.
Now, if you open WPS Office from Application Menu, it will launch successfully. However, if you try to open documents from Dolphin, the Ark archive tool will open. For that problem, follow this work around.

    For me it worked with these:
    /usr/bin/wps %f -style gtk --> Writer
    /usr/bin/et %f -style gtk --> Spreadsheet
    /usr/bin/wpp %f -style gtk --> Presentation

    Hey, It's not working for me. While opening the WPS applications after addition of that gtk command, it is showing gtk not found.
