skype and pulse audio

by Kate Draven

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

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

Setting up power-off icon

by Lisi Reisz

I want to set up a large power-off button, with an icon, preferably on the desktop but on the panel would do. The ordinarily available one will not do because this is for someone with very poor sight and the ordinary power-off button is inextricably linked with lock screen. Well, I can't extricate it. I THINK I can manage the three other large icons that are needed on the desktop, but this one has stymied me. I could rephrase the question: how do I produce an icon that, when clicked, operates /sbin/poweroff. Jessie with TDE 14, installed from Slávek's repositories. Replacing a badly scammed Windows 7! Help!! Lisi

Hi, Did you installed knemo-trinity? This is the TDE-specific package.

Re: TDE Fundraiser

I installed Trinity as an experiment 2 weeks ago, when I came across your website while looking for an old application, and it's so nice, I'm doing all my work in Trinity now. I loved KDE 3.5, and I was sad when I had to leave it six years ago, to upgrade to Debian 6 and KDE 4. After upgrading from Debian 6 to Debian 8 a few weeks ago, two old favourites, Kasablanca and KHexEdit, were no longer available, and I could not even find the source code for KHexEdit, until I remembered reading about Trinity some years ago, and found your website. I think it's wonderful that you're maintaining the KDE 3.5 look and feel, functionality, and applications. I have donated 30 dollars to Trinity via your donations page. I'm sorry it can't be more at the moment, money is a bit tight. Konqueror has improved since KDE 3.5, but I can run Konqueror-KDE4 in Trinity from a menu item with the command /usr/bin/konqueror, and thus get the best of both worlds. Some other KDE applications have sadly deteriorated in the later versions of KDE4. In particular, KolourPaint in Debian 8 has been damaged by a very bad revision, so I am using KolourPaint-Trinity now. It is far better. When I installed Debian 8, I was offered a list of 7 desktop environments to install. I would certainly have tried Trinity at that time, if it had been on the list. If Konqueror-Trinity and Konsole-Trinity need to be given new names in order to get Trinity into the Debian distribution, (to avoid a clash of names with KDE), perhaps I could suggest Clarity for Konqueror-Trinity and Simplicity for Konsole-Trinity, since these names rhyme with Trinity, and suggest some of the defining characteristics of TDE. Yours sincerely, Chris Austin

frequent hangups

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: My TDE session frequently hangs. A message window opens at the bottom right corner of the screen saying: "New display output options are available! A screen has been added, removed, or changed." After this the screen inputs (mouse and keyboard) become unresponsive. Running programs keep running. I have to hard reset the computer. This is becoming annoying. I have openSUE 13.2 with TDE R14.0.4. Any idea what causes this and how to fix it? Thanks, Istvan
