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?

Greetings all;
I have been forced to open a terminal and do an "alsactl restore" after
every login despite scattering such around in the rc.local and Xsession
files.
A misscue with htop killed tdm yesterday, and when it had reinited to the
login screen, and I had restarted everything that killed, I had no
sound, indicating the sound killer was maybe part of the stuff that runs
as root before I login.
So, since its working ATM, I just did a "sudo alsactl store", which if
its root related, should fix it. We'll see on the next x restart,
whether its a reboot or ?? And when I have had to restart, if I then
have sound, I'll report back.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Greetings;
I use mailfilter as a prefilter in front of fetchmail to nuke some spam
while its still on the server.
But its missing hits on what I suspect is the From: or Return-Path:
strings that have quotation marks in the string because the string is
being spec'd by being surrounded by "show this name" bs.
I've added the character < as part of the string its to search for, so
the search string now looks like "From:.*<*\.unwanted-tld". Does this
stand that famous snow balls chance in hell of working well with or
without a quoted "some funkity name" in front of the real url with the
<> around it?
I just love the lack of documentation on how this string comparison stuff
works as shown by the man pages for grep and regex. All sorts of
control options are well covered, but figureing out how to write a
search expression must be one of the worlds better guarded secrets.
So if someone could show me, or give a url that actually has the full
docs, I'd be greatfull.
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hello,
I've migrated to Centos 7 / TDE 14.0.3. Everything went fine, apart from
one point: I am no longer seeing on the screen only the contents of my
$HOME/Desktop folder like it was before, but rather the contents of
my entire home directory.
Apparently there should be some configuration option which would allow
to define $HOME/Desktop as a starting point in place of $HOME, but so
far I was unable to locate it.
What should I change? Thanks a lot ahead for any hint!
Andy.
Dear all,
we discussed about a new logo for a while. So I would like to invite whoever is interested to submit their proposals or
ideas within the end of the month to this ML. After that we will arrange some sort of vote to choose 3 or 4 possible
candidates (including the "keep the current logo possibility") and at the end we will see what Tim thinks about it.
Thanks everyone for his/her contribution.
Cheers
Michele
PS: let's *NOT* start another war-like email chain on this again :-) Just submit yuor proposal ;-)
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)?

Hi all,
since I have installed pulseaudio I have a problem with the multimedia audio
keys.
Where are they configured?
In particular when I press mute and unmute in KMix both pulse and "HDA Intel
PCH" Master volume get messed and unmute does not toggle both controls, so
that I have to open KMix and unmute manually.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
PS: I recall I have played with multimedia keys perhaps 6y. ago. No idea
where it was - just vague memory that it was about remote control and my
first tv card/stick.
After more than 10 years of launching Konsole from a desktop icon which
uses a Promptread routine for interactive Perl menus which writes a prompt
to STDOUT and then reads the user's response from STDIN, this routine is
now failing in an infinite write loop.
I tried using the other Perl approaches, Readline, and Term::ReadKey with
the same result, even autoflushing the output buffer after each prompt
write. Nothing works
I am now getting this error while pausing in the Perl debugger before the
prompt, indicating that Konsole is somehow infected:
X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 20
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x7a00187
Apparently this shows up from time to time, but nobody has resolved it.
If I use other terminal emulators, the problem goes away. In particular,
Byobu replaces the look and feal of Konsole, so I would like to use it.
Is there a way to change settings in the icon creation dialog with its
terminal option to make byobu the terminal default instead of Konsole?
Thanks in advance,
Joseph Thames

To all:
The TDE mailing list is supposed to be a place where we discuss things in a polite and quiet manner.
People are free to post their opinion, but please remember to respect others' opinion as well.
You may not like what is being discussed in a specific thread, you are free to raise your objections to that but please
refrain from denigrating other people's comment or suggestion and respect the time and effort they put in to contribute
to this project.
I have to say that over the last 12 months or so I have seen an increasingly number of "animated discussions" on this ML
and it was not pleasant at all. Especially considering that it was completely unnecessary for them to be "animated"
For the records, some of our contributors have already decided to move away because his/her suggestions were
continuously denigrated on this ML.
How can we expect to have new contributors if we are so negative about whatever thing they bring along??
I repeat:
"How can we expect to have new contributors if we are so negative about whatever thing they bring along??"
We are a small community, probably we will always be.
Let's make sure this community remains a happy community.
Please be considerate when you are messaging on this ML.
Cheers
Michele
