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?

Hello all,
I've installed openSUSE 42.2 and so upgraded to TDE 14.0.4 (previously I
couldn't on my old 13.1, something broke so I stayed at 14.0.0).
I don't know which of the two is responsible, but now, when I plug in an
external drive, it gets mounted twice. On my desktop I see the drive itself,
and the partition. For example, when I plug in my 16GB mac formated usb key,
I get both "14.8 GB removable device", mounted on /deb/sdg,
and "macUSBDrive", mounted on /dev/sdg1.
Of course the former throws an error if I try to open it.
This is not so bad and I can live with it, but I wonder where this is
distribution specific, machine specific or if you all see this too.
Regards,
Thierry
Hi there.
I've got a really great Amarok playlist of songs that I find help me
concentrate.
I've looked for a means of playing such a playlist on Android without
success.
If anyone has succeeded in porting a TDE program to Android it would
maybe bring this dream a little closer.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with such a dream :)

greetings, everybody . . .
this morning i received a fairly alarming note from my ISP, who apparently
farms out its mail handling to yahoo (and yahoo seems to have belatedly
gotten interested in security). the note specified that i am not using a
sufficiently secure mail client (KMail in TDE) and that in a few weeks
OAuth will be required.
an admittedly brief search has not produced information as to whether this
is something that can be enabled in KMail in TDE or, if so, how to enable
it. is this something that has come up before? if so, how was it resolved?
and if it hasn't, any solutions?
thanks very much.

I just wanted to let you know that the new TDE site SSL certificates have
been installed. They are valid until 2020 so we should be good to go for
quite some time. QuickBuild is handled somewhat outside of the TDE
project itself, but should also be updated in the next month or so.
Thank you all again for helping resolve this issue so quickly!

I'd suggest a little more research while paying attention to the
originating source material (CA's who are losing money). At least one
of the FUD sources in your link has been responded to:

And with that we're good to go! I'll order the replacement certificates
shortly, which should reactivate TDE under all major browsers.
Thank you all very much for stepping up and helping fix this, I greatly
appreciate it!

As some of you may already be aware, StartCom (a major provider of SSL
certificates) has repeatedly and intentionally violated the basic rules to
be listed as a root CA in most browsers [1] [2]. Unfortunately, TDE used
StartCom as its root CA provider in an attempt to lower overall costs; as
a result, the main TDE pages, QuickBuild, and other related services will
no longer be accessible to the majority of Web clients.
We do not have the funds to replace the certificate with a costlier option
at this time. LetsEncrypt does not appear to be secure enough as it
effectively requires automated certificate installation on the master
servers, and furthermore I expect it to be removed from as a fully trusted
root CA or at least demoted in some way in the future [3].
Due to the industry-standard security in use, we cannot simply disable
HTTPS without disabling access to all TDE sites previously using HTTPS.
Furthermore, disabling HTTPS would open TDE users adn visitors to
malicious MITM attack, and I am not willing to do this.
Our only options come down to either accepting the heavy loss in visitors
/ traffic that will come from using a self-signed certificate, or
attempting to raise the funds required to purchase a new certificate. It
should only cost around $200 to obtain a new multi-year certificate
covering TDE, so if you can please contribute something toward this goal
via our donations page [4].
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience; it is not common for a CA to be
delisted and the impact from this has been felt across many sites.
Unfortunately, it will only continue to worsen as Chrome (with its 75%
market share) is updated by end users over the next few days / weeks.
Thank you!

Hello,
i can not use the tde network-manager frontend.
A Message-Box pops up and says:
Unable to save network connection!
Potential causes:
* Insufficient permissions
* NetworkManager not running
* DBUS failure
Beside that i think the Assistent should not be closed.
Both - ConsoleKit and PolicyKit - are installed.
And i'm using OpenRC, not systemd on Debian Jessie, with backports enabled.
Kind Regards,
Richard
