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

TDE on openSUSE Tumbleweed?
by Thierry de Coulon 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hello, I guess François Andriot would best answer this question. I am experimenting with installing Linux on a Sony Vaio Tablet (Vaio Tap 11, model SVT112113CXB ). This has proven *much* more difficult than on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2: - You can disable SecureBoot in the BIOS *but* it is still there! The first consequence is that I can't install Debian! - Other Linux version more or less did install (Ubuntu 16.10, Alexandre's PCLOS, openSUSE) but I everytime has trouble. In the end, the only install that (really) runs well is openSUSE Tumbleweed: really snappy under Gnome 3, onscreen keyboard, it even tries to use the accelerometer and rotates the screen (although in a somwhat eratic way) Now, of course, there is no installation of TDE for Tumbleweed. Would the instruction for 42.3 work? Now, a Tablet is not where I need TDE most, but... Regards, Thierry

Latest on Linux on tablets with (please Lord) Trinity?
by dep 20 Jan '18

20 Jan '18

Greets, folks . . . I once loved my iPad, but Apple has made me hate and despise it, with constant unwanted terrible updates that remove functionality and have reduced battery life from <12 hours to >3 hours. (IoS 11 sucks so badly that it pulls the branches off nearby trees.) I have had it with the iPad. But I have need of a tablet. It's been awhile since I heard anything involving Linux being put on a tablet; for a time I had a version of Linux running on an H-P Touchpad, which has long since died. The X support was semi-decent -- I had either OpenOffice.org or Libre Office running (very slowly) on it. That was probably six years ago. I kind of hope that some sort of Linux/X development has taken place, but haven't been able to learn much. Anybody know if there has been? And the important question: would it be possible to put TDE on it and if I did, would it work?

linux phone, ultra portable, the universe, and everything!

merry christmas, everybody! did you see the piece in the register today (or maybe yesterday, or saturday) about the new psion or psion-ish device that is a tiny postable computer with keyboard, phone, and so on, that dual boots android *and linux*? this may be the gadget we've been waiting for. the question, of course, is whether it will run trinity. looking at the specs -- 4 gigs of memory and 64 gigs of storage -- i see no reason why it wouldn't. the video is 2160x1080, which ought to work. (it apparently ships with xfce.) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/12/22/gemini_special/ i do wish it had a better pointing system -- it has a touchscreen, but i'd prefer a pointing stick ala the good thinkpads or the toshiba librettos. my sense is that this is the device many of us have been waiting for. i'm not rolling in money by any means, but i'm very close to making the leap to pre-order of the wifi-4G version. i'm weary of my little ipad and my blackberry, though still functioning, is, well, a blackberry and whatever rim calls itself nowadays doesn't do proper blackberrys anymore, so this seems just right. going crazy here imagining being on a story, shhoting the pictures, putting the card in a SD adapter via usb, opening the GIMP and adjusting color and saturation, and shipping the pictures to the paper, just like that. a phone and tiny laptop device for grownups! -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

more on the gadget
by dep 28 Dec '17

So, doing a little research I find that the Planet Computing Gemini is apparently shipped with Debian Stretch. Here's their first video demo from a couple of months ago: https://vimeo.com/239095559 It illustrates dual boot, a terminal session, Firefox running (very tiny, I think -- they could have done themselves a favor by making it larger), and LibreOffice running. All ran pretty quickly. Especially pleasing to me is that the GIMP is shown running in this story: https://liliputing.com/2017/11/crowdfunded-gemini-pda-mini-laptop-ship-date… There is apparently also a Linux on Android feature which allows the running of Linux applications from within an Android boot, with a common clipboard and such. What isn't clear is the extent to which other resources can be shared -- it's a pain with systems like Virtual Box, though a lot can be shared even with that -- or, really, how the running of Linux applications works. (There was a way to run Android applications on the Blackberry Playbook, which was RIM's answer to calls for applications, but it kind of sucked, like the Mirrors ports of Windows applications to OS/2.) Much to be learned, but promising so far. I see no reason why TDE won't work perfectly on this little thing. It would need, I suppose, some userspace tweaking of fonts and icon size and such, but I expect it to work, and happy day when it does! (If my posting about this is unwanted or off-topic, let me know and I'll cease.) -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Error in building tbebase 14.0.4
by Oleg Levenets 25 Dec '17

25 Dec '17

I added a JOB_NUM = "- j3" entry to my tdebase.SlackBuild for my core2duo cpu and the package was compiled without errors. It's strange, because this setting was already set in my global configuration file for the TDE assembly script... Maybe the logs will help?

Error in building tbebase 14.0.4
by Oleg Levenets 22 Dec '17

thanks for the answer! command from builg.log cd /tmp/build/tmp-tdebase/build/tdm/backend && perl -w /tmp/build/tmp-tdebase/tdebase/tdm/confproc.pl /tmp/build/tmp-tdebase/tdebase/tdm/config.def config.ci really creates this file. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer, maybe generated config.ci help to understand what's wrong?
