I went to check on the latest version of Alexandre's remaster for PCLinuxOS, having the PCLinuxOS_no_TDE_remaster_5sept2015.iso already downloaded; but the most recent on the TDE site is this one: PCLinuxOS_no_remaster_2octobre2014.iso Is there a problem with the newer one? Lisi

One more question for the TDE guru's

by Gene Heskett

Greetings everybody; Everytime I have to reboot, but often, or more recently because of tdm updates, restart tdm, I have had to find a shell and execute "alsactl restore" before I have sound. Is there a file that runs after my login, far enough after it, that I could add that command to instead of figureing out "hey its awful quiet in here" some time after the restart and reminds me to go and execute it? If I could figure out where in the restart the sound gets muted, I'd fix it there. This has been a nearly 2 year long problem for me. Thanks everybody.

Hep me! ksmserver crash

by Peter Laws

This started after an update Friday. Get the login screen, system accepts password, progress bar shows for about 1/3 of the way, then get the dialog box about ksmserver crashing. I've done both "report crash" and "create backtrace" both of which cycle me back to the login screen. I pull packages from here: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 Stuff I don't understand from the logs: Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.008000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.920132] ioapic: probe of 0000:00:05.4 failed with error -22 Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 4.348917] fglrx: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel Feb 9 11:01:48 toto3 failsafe: Failsafe of 120 seconds reached.

Supposedly on latest R14 but apt-get is reporting IGN on the mirror.xcer.cz translation

What is the correct sources.list line for staying current with all tde r14 updates? I did just now get 11 updates for the box on the mill, but none for this box, which should have similar TDE installs. But I've been looking at a red star for the update-manager status just to the left of the time-date display for weeks, just on this machine, but if I "sudo apt-get update", no errors are reported. But I just checked in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and found several enpty or all commented out files and nuked them and the red star is gone. Puzzling at best, like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Plausible explanation for a buglet? DIIK. Thanks folks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Huge tde update yesterday, python stuff now fails

by Gene Heskett

Greetings guru's; This did work before the 51 tde updates yesterday: gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc$ python python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py", line 278, in <module> main() File "python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py", line 222, in main root = Tk() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1712, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND" This has been a dog & pony show I have been to before, several times, and each time IIRC the fix was different. Historically, if by playing the 10,000 monkeys with typewriters scene long enough that I manage to fix 'BACKGROUND' the FOREGROUND will be the next excuse used to exit a formerly working script. Does anyone have a clue what to fix this time? Thanks everybody. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Who are using 3.5.13.x series?

by Slávek Banko

Hi to all, I know that there are still many users who use TDE 3.5.13.x series. Please, you use official 3.5.13.2 or my older PPA 'axis'? For those who use PPA 'axis': You've probably noticed that some time ago there were several updates. I would therefore ask you whether you can change the address in the sources.list from original ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net to mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org. Benefits will be on both sides. Because on mirror.ppa are packages for most of distributions in the local cache, you'll have faster downloads. And thanks to this will be less load of line to the master server. Cheers -- Slávek

TDE and Wayland

by Thierry de Coulon

I've just been reading about Wayland supposed to be used in distributions this year. While I guess X will still be provided for some time, I was wondering how Wayland would impact TDE? Thierry
