skype and pulse audio
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Hi I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a fix to re-enable alsa or the like? Kate

Kaffeine and HDTV
by Thierry de Coulon 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello all, Basically, this is possibly somewhat off topic, but as it's still TDE related, maybe someone allready found a solution: I've been using Kaffeine for years to watch DVB-S. Mor recently, I got a USB DVB-C receiver (Sundtek) and it works relatively well (although I got freezes). My problem is that my Cable operator recently warned us that some programs would stop being proposed in their non-HD version. Kaffeine, however, does not work with the HD versions (at least I can't set them up). Eye TV (on a Mac Mini) works (I use that as a recorder under my TV set). Am I missing some settings on Kaffeine (0.8.8)? Thierry

KPDF print error
by Greg Madden 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Been printing from KPDF for quite some time,recently I got the following error. I am running Debian Stretch + TDE R 14.0.3, which is testing ..for Debian anyway. This is the error dialog with NO filters, selecting 'keep' actually prints. "The file format application/postscript\012- \012- application/octet-stream is not directly supported by the current print system. You now have 3 options: TDE can attempt to convert this file automatically to a supported format. (Select Convert) You can try to send the file to the printer without any conversion. (Select Keep) You can cancel the printjob. (Select Cancel) Do you want TDE to attempt and convert this file to application/postscript?" This is the error dialog with various filters selected, tried different combo's..same result. "The MIME type application/postscript\012- \012- application/octet-stream is not supported as input of the filter chain (this may happen with non-CUPS spoolers when performing page selection on a non-PostScript file). Do you want TDE to convert the file to a supported format?" I

There are possibly a few things to edit when you move to .trinity (but that will be only once). Mainly, did you edit /.trinity/share/config/kmailrc ? In the last part of the file (after the mailboxes), you have the path to your mail directory. In (very) old time this would have been ~/mail , but somwhere in KDE history it was relocated to a ./kde3 subdirectory, usually $HOME/.kde3/share/apps/kmail/mail. You must change that to $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail As far as I remember that's all I had to do (apart from copyinf the directory). Thierry

KMail Update
by Glen Cunningham 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

G'day Trinity Users, At last I've found a tuit ( a round one) :-) Upgrading from TDE 3.5.11 to Trinity R14.0.2. So far, I've got Ubuntu 14.04.4 with Trinity R14.0.2 on another computer. My yellow-streak compells me to leave the working TDE 3.5.11 system alone until the new box is properly configured. My main problem is transferring KMail settings and mailboxes to the new system, so my questions are .... 1. Is it just a simple copy of the files from the old to the new systems? 2. If this is possible, which files need to be copied? From where to where? (Seems that paths and directories are very different on the two systems). FWIW. I tried searching the list archives but my search-foo is rather low just now, but I found some references that suggest that what I want to do is actually doable. Thanks in antic, Glen PS. If anyone is interested, the "new" system is an Aldi Akoya E4214 which is not as yet well supported by Linux distros but eventually got WiFi working with a custom compiled driver. G.

[trinity-users] apps in /usr/local/share/applications/*.desktop in Lost & Found instead of where they belong

Anyone know how to get them to show in main menu sections they belong in automatically instead of Lost & Found?

keyboard back light issue
by Pisini, John 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

I have a CM devastator keyboard with back lighting. This keyboard uses the scroll lock key to turn the light on and off. On my system running Ubuntu under other desktop environments like Mate or KDE I can turn the back light on using xset led 3 and I usually have it scripted to turn on after I log in. Under Trinity doing xset led 3 causes the keyboard to flash really quickly once and then the light goes off. Is there something holding the keyboard under Trinity? Is there a way to use the back light? -- John P
