Nvidia Quadro M2000
by Peter Laws 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

New Dell T5810 with above card. Put Centos 7 on it (after finding the "use a basic video driver" selection under "Troubleshooting"). Got TDE v.newest installed just fine (after reading all steps in the directions - sad considering I'd done this before ...). But how do I adjust the video? The stuff in RandR only seems to want to give me 1024x768 which seems ... skimpy ... on a pair of P2416Ds which are 2560x1440 each (I've not connected the 2nd display yet). What am I missing? Do I need to ditch the Nouveau stuff and go for some sort of proprietary driver? I'm not opposed to either direction, but I really have to have better than 1995's idea of hi-res. :-) Or is there a tool I'm missing? -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

No possibility to create a hard disk icon
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

Hello, Since I upgraded my Debian from Jessie to Stretch, I cannot create a hard disk icon. Right click on the desktop, "create a new icon", "to a peripheral", "hard disk" (in /etc/fstab), OK, the icon is created. When I click on this new icon I receive this text : [Desktop Entry] Dev=UUID=f9cafbc8-5b78-4b8a-9e5f-f50697ab33f4 Icon=drive-harddisk-mounted MountPoint=/media/sdb1 ReadOnly=false Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=drive-harddisk What happens ? Thank for a help. André

Keyserver issue?

Hi all, I'm trying to add GPG key for preliminary stable builds server but I get a timeout error: # apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --homedir /tmp/tmp.WPQPbWCxI4 --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model always --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-jessie-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-jessie-security-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-jessie-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-stretch-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-stretch-security-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-stretch-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668 gpg: requesting key A04BE668 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error Is it the servers fault or did the GPG signature for Trinity servers changed but wasn't updated on the web page [1]?

Recent preliminary stable update
by Philip Ashmore 09 Jul '17

09 Jul '17

Hi there. I checked for updates in Synaptic and saw a slew of preliminary stable updates. It didn't occur to me that running a Trinity update inside of Trinity might be a bad idea. That is, until my desktop disappeared. I did a pstree check to see if the update had finished, which it had, probably because Synaptic was killed. Now there is no record of the updates in Synaptics history and the updates are no longer present - did it succeed? Just a heads up! P.S. should I do anything to try to recover the update history? Do I need to be worried? Regards, Philip Ashmore

R14.0.4 Issues
by Dave 02 Jul '17

02 Jul '17

New hardware and new install. Ryzen 1600, ASUS B350 Prime Plus, BIOS 0803, Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel-4.10.0-041000-lowlatency, and of course TDE R14.0.4 and it does dual boot into Win 10, but I seriously, _seriously_ hate Win10 after using XP Aggravating issues, about Trinity but I keep plugging on. I won't file bug reports , because of all of NEW HARDWARE issues. I'm mainly just looking for confirmation of these problems. 1. Trinity Control Center / Monitor & Display when Brightness and Gamma are changed, It does not save the settings beyond the current session, even when logged in as root. When you log out, the background on the TDM login screen even shows the settings returned to default. (System file permissions somewhere?) 2. When I logout, any active Konsole windows that were open are not saved and all setting are lost. ( again, System file Permissions ?) once in a while, when saving the desktop on logout, an error message will popup but closes so fast ya can't read it. 3. System Guard Network sensors are dead (bug 2398) probably brought on by Systemd changes of hardware naming.( no more eth0, wlan0) 4. Network Icon in system Tray used to show connect speed or wifi signal strength text, gone. (Could be one my settings) One odd one, I had to change permissions on /sys to 775 along with sub directories. I think it had to do with SCP. that was 2 weeks ago. so I'm not real sure of this one. There are a few other issues, but I think they belong to AMD, ASUS and BIOS. (such as Xorg using so much processor power, and not knowing if this setup is using all of the cores) Because of the NEW hardware and this being the first time with R14.0.4 version, I don't know if prior versions of Trinity have these problems. I've been using Trinity since Tim started the project, so I'm not new to this debug fight process. Does trinity and it's apps have log files to look at? I can only find a tdm.log I've loaded Xubuntu on a different partition, but has it's own issues without Trinity loaded. If I get it to run with fewer lockup issues (kernel), I'll try an older version of Trinity after I check Xorg processor usage. Dave
