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

External drive gets mounted twice
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

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

What is your default Desktop manager? Nautilus being the default file manager for gdm, I could imagine a link. I've seen Gnome 3 bloquing TDE in some distributions. Maybe there is something like that with Ubuntu? As I don't run Ubuntu and don't have nautilus installed I never saw this behaviour. Thierry

in addition to what looks like the unity screen... the Kicker panel is still there with the proper apps present and/or running and all icons respond properly. I remember this happening before, and I ended up deleting the .trinity directory, losing all my settings,email etc. got to be an easy way. Dave

desktop backdround
by dave 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

All of a sudden one of my desktops changed to what looks like the Unity display. Right click on desktop only shows new folder and organize by name.If I add a desktop it switches to new desktop, while the other desktop reverts back to TDE. If I delete the new desktop , the (unity) desktop goes back to prior DT. I can't seem to make it permanently gone. Dave

When this system is replaced, which graphics card should I get?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, Just a quick reminder that our yearly fundraiser is under way. So far results have been somewhat disappointing, so I'd like to ask: what would you (reasonably) like to see us do before contributing a little something to the project? Thanks!
