I have a box with Debian Wheezy and TDE installed in it. The GPU has
three connectors, one DVI and two HDMI.
I have two monitors connected to it. The diagonal measurement of one
is 49 cm. It has a 1600x900 resolution and is connected to the box by
a DVI cable.
The other is a TV/monitor with a diagonal measurement of 124 cm (49
inches). It is connected to the box by HDMI. The box recognizes its
existence, but the display on it has the same resolution as the
smaller monitor.
It consequently uses only about 40-45% of the screen area, nor is it
centred on the screen. It starts more or less from the upper left
corner and leaves an L shaped unused black space on the bottom and
right sides. The left side does not correspond to the left side of
the screen; a strip on the left side of the display is seen on the
smaller monitor but not on the large one.
Is it possible to create a display resolution larger than 1600x900 for
the large monitor and properly centred on the screen, possibly using
the ‘Monitor and Display’ feature of the TDE Control Centre?
Regards, Ken

OK, I once again forgot to link the pictures... :)
Hi Michele,
Not so easy... There's not much showing.
With kpackage, I get the same behaviour wether I start kpackage (from the
TDE/kicker menu) or by right-clicking on the *.deb file and choosing "open
with":
kpackage opens, I choose install, kpackage asks for the password (snapshot 1).
Maybe a clue? It asks for the SUDO password - I have no sudo password.
Neither the root nor the user password work. The dialog box disappears, then
comes back, and so on.
If I modify the menu command in "tdesu kpackage", kpackage works (albeit I get
a "tdeinit could not start tdesu" message...).
I tried starting kpackage from the command line but all I get is:
thierry@haswell:~$ kpackage
TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing
TQLayout "unnamed" added to TQVBox "page", which already has a layout
thierry@haswell:~$ ^C
thierry@haswell:~$
No idea if this tells you something...
Gostcrypt shows a similar behaviour, but with no message at all. I can select
the crypted partition, but when I want to mount it this requires the root
password, which is not taken, so of course gostcrypt does not get the
superuser rights (snapshot 2).
tdesu gostcrypt works perfectly, so this is not really a problem.
I also need tdesu to start synaptic, but this is more to get a nice dialog box
(otherwise some text window is used to ask for the root password.
Thank you,
Thierry
I've installed a brand new "Jessie" with TDE. Globally a smooth install.
Now I've got a small problem with superuser rights with some programs. Until
now kpackage-trinity and Gostcrypt have shown this behaviour:
- if I start the program (from TDE), at some point it will ask for the
password. Neither the root password nor the user password work.
- if I modify the program "icon" by adding "tdesu" before the command, the
password is asked first, and the program works correctly.
This is no problem with gostcrypt, but with kpackage it means that I can't
use "open with" with a package, I must load the package in kpackage (not a
big deal, but I wish I would understand what the problem is).
I did not see this problem with openSuSE, seems to be Debian related.
Thierry
Greetings all;
I would like at some point to be able to use some sort of verification,
even encryption for some of my emails.
But the msg from Ken Heard displays the start of my problem, in that no
matter how I configure kmail on the crypto tab, any message bearing a
signature will be displayed at first with a checking signature message,
then nominally 1 second later, will either change to a yellow bar say
not enough information, or a red bar that says its bad. It has never,
ever shown me that its a good signature.
So, how do I proceed to bring this feature into the appropriate RFC
compliance and properly functioning?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi all,
I bought a few weeks ago a 10 inch android netbook, with a dual-core 1.5ghz WonderMedia WM8880 cpu and 512mb of ram, 2 regular usb 2.0 ports, wifi and ethernet. These go for around 100$ on ebay and so far, it is a great buy! It has Android 4.4 and can boot from the sd card.
I found somewhere on internet (from the guys at http://androportal.github.io/linux-on-aakash/) a working Ubuntu 14.04 image for this netbook.
I currently run Slavek's TDE Preliminary Stable Build on it, and TDE is very comfortable on it and responsive, even with Compton enabled.
Real-life power seems to me to be almost the same as the Raspberrry Pi 2(subjectively), but in a complete and pretty laptop.
Hardware support is more or less complete, as I have to use an external usb to ethernet adapter to go online, and no wifi for now under linux, but it is still a very capable machine and the quality is much better than it was in the past.
If someone is interested in it, I'll be able to upload online an image of the sd card.
Merry Christmas and may 2016 be a great year for you and your family!

Before Wheezy clicking on a URL in an icedove email would cause the
URL to open in iceweasel. With Wheezy and Jessie I can no longer do
so. Now I have to copy the URL from the email, open iceweasel and then
enter it myself in the iceweasel address line.
In one computer I have Wheezy, TDE 14.0.2, icedove 38.4.0 and
iceweasel 38.5.0. Update-alternatives --config x-www-browser points to
iceweasel %u as the default. In addition file
~/mozilla/icedove/9vgk89rr.default/user.js contains the following
two lines:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "iceweasel %u");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "iceweasel %u")
Removing the ‘%u’ where I had it has no effect; so I kept them.
I also ran in my user the command
xdg-mime default iceweasel.desktop x-scheme-handler/http \
x-scheme-handler/https
also to no effect.
Am I missing something else required to open URLs in icedove emails
automatically in iceweasel?
I have the same problem with another computer with Jessie instead of
Wheezy, but I do not have access to that one at this time.
Compliments of the season and thanks in advance for any help provided,
Ken Heard

On this website:
http://codemonkey.org.uk/projects/trinity/
is a Linux program that makes random system-calls. The
author calls it a "fuzzer" and has named it "Trinity".
When run, it creates lots of junk files, can delete
pre-existing files, and do anything else the OS can do.
A friend of mine wanted to install TDE, but carelessly ran
that "fuzzer" program instead. He cleaned out the junk files
but doesn't know what other damage has been done.
People need to be warned about that program!
I sent e-mail to the author asking him to put a warning
on his web page for people seeking TDE, but I don't know
if he will do it.
Prospective TDE users must be sent here directly:
http://trinitydesktop.org/
and told not to find it via Google, etc.
Greetings all;
I am having a problem with the mouse pointer being very hard to find on
the milling machines box. TCC doesn't show me any themes, so what do I
need to install that will A, give me a bigger pointer, and B color it
some bright color with buckets of contrast on the default bluish TDE
screen?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
