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

Hi, With a CentOS minimal installation the tde session doesn't start. Installing over gnome (gdm) or mate (lightdm) it works. Any tips?

upgraded, but TDE video issue
by dep 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful system upgrade in the (heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter. But now I'm encountering a problem that is annoying: menus in Firefox and some other applications are reversed, white text on black background. Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and preparing to revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .).

color issue solved
by dep 31 Jul '17

well. in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts it's possible to employ different themes for GTK2 and GTK3 applications, and this fixes the menu color problem. What I haven't been able to fix is the tiny fonts problem in TDE applications. Additionally, my cursor, in all its variants, has become *huge.* Very strange indeed. And it came about from first unchecking and then rechecking Appearance & Themes > Colors > Apply colors to non-TDE applications. How can this be? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

trying to avoid rebuilding whole system
by dep 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

greetings . . . i've about concluded that i absolutely must upgrade my linux/tde install. i'm currently running 14.04 atop ubuntu 1204-LTS, which is at its end. hypothetically i should be able to do use ubuntu's system upgrade tool and all would be well in moving me from 1204 to 1404; i would not have to reinstall everything from scratch. but no. it throws this error: [quote] Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu [/quote] looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade, i find this error: [quote ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.' [/quote] for some reason i must have added it to that blacklist, but truth be known i do not remember having done so or even the existence of such a blacklist, never mind how to add or delete something to or from it. so, am wondering if there is a way around this that wouldn't (as it appears would happen here anyway) nuke my TDE install. am i missing something obvious? do i want to d/l and install a TDE image and, if so, can i do an upgrade (rather than wipe and reinstall) from that? thanks in advance -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

how to boot uefi from partition
by Felmon Davis 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

greets! yrs ago I thought BIOS was mysterious; I didn't anticipate UEFI! was travelling, my SSD collapsed - dead - and I had to get another and get Linux installed fast. put Kubuntu on; back home added tde. I just resized the partition and added another ext4 with exegnu installed but I installed the loader to the partition, fearing to touch /boot/efi. so there's boot/efi on sda1, kubuntu on sda2 and exegnu on sda3. there's some crap in my efi because of other misadventures but the important thing now is I can boot into kubuntu, what do I do so I can put into exegnu also? is it simply a matter of grub-install? other magic? my ultimate goal is to remove kubuntu and install Windows 7 with exegnu as the default boot. f. -- Felmon Davis "Home, Sweet Home" must surely have been written by a bachelor. -- Samuel Butler

Kmail: fetching GMail over IMAP
by Jan Stolarek 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Dear all, I have recently set up KMail to fetch a GMail account over IMAP protocol. However, I am experiencing an issue that does not happen with any of my other IMAP accounts. Very often when I fetch new email and mark it as read locally, the next time emails are fetched this mail is locally marked as unread, instead of being marked as read on the server. Is any of you experiencing similar issues with GMail? Is this just a matter of setting appropriate options in GMail and, if so, which ones?

Hi-res, small icons ...
by Peter Laws 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Was 5760x1024 (3 "HD" displays). New W/S is 5120x1440 on two displays. LOVE the resolution ... but ... my eyes are old (they saw Armstrong and Aldrin walk on the Moon on live TV when they were younger, for instance) ... so how do I, in one step (I hope!) make everything on my displays bigger? Is that even doable? It is in that Microsoft OS (you select a percentage above or below 100% and everything gets scaled). -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu
