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?

Hi all,
I'm having a trouble getting Trinity working on Mageia 6. I've installed
via the official URPMI repositories, using the trinity-desktop package
to ensure all dependencies are present.
Note, I've got Trinity running OK on my laptop with Mageia 6, but on my
desktop system it's badly broken for reasons I can't trace. My desktop
uses an NFS mounted home directory and and is a dual-monitor system.
If I use TDM as the login manager, the I get dropped out of X back to
the terminal, TDM seems to be unable to start at all. I've switched to
LightDM, which fixed this but TDE isn't listed as an available desktop
in the relevant menu. Fixing this required a symbolic link from
/opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/sessions/tde.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions.
If I login the initial splash screen appears, but I then get a crash
message which closes before I can read the details, I then get dumped
back at the login manager. If I login using XFCE and try to run
starttde, then I get same behaviour and again, the crash handler
vanishes before I can get at anything useful. I see the following at the
command prompt:
[starttde] Starting starttde.
[starttde] This script is /opt/trinity/bin/starttde
[starttde] TDE version is R14.0.4

Note, I'm not sure why this is complaining about
/home/timw/.DCOPserver_baa.sheep__0, I've checked prior to start up and
this dir does not exist, nor is it left behind after the crash.
I've tried using a clean user account and also running this as root, but
there is no difference, the start up just crashes.
I've audited my system and have removed all the left behind Mageia 5
packages, so the installation is clean as far as I can tell. TDE
programmes such as konqueror, kate etc start up OK running on XFCE.
Any help much appreciated, I'm somewhat lost without my Trinity desktop
and this is my primary work computer.
Thanks in advance,
Tim W

When I run:
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
to install TDE on my 64-bit stretch system, some of the things I see are
sufficiently concerning that I don't want to go ahead and allow the
installation without further guidance and confirmation that I'm not about to
break something important.
The output is:
----
[HN:apt] sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
The following NEW packages will be installed:
<lots of new packages>
but then:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
chromium-inspector{u} libgsoap5{u} libwebp5{u} libwebpdemux1{u}
virtualbox-dkms{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
libart-2.0-2
1 packages upgraded, 328 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 222 MB/225 MB of archives. After unpacking 593 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
desktop-base-trinity : Conflicts: desktop-base but 9.0.2 is installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) desktop-base [9.0.2 (now, stable)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
----
So:
1. Looking at the packages that will be removed, will I still be able to run
virtualbox if virtualbox-dkms is removed? [I think that the answer is yes, but
I would like some assurance from someone who is more certain than am I.]
2. And then what about desktop-base? The version that is currently installed
is from the official debian stable repository, so I don't think that I should
be removing it. So what should I do about this conflict?

[*] Anyone who has tried to use the KDE 5 that is included with stretch will
know why I've finally given up on the KDE death-spiral and want to get back to
something that works properly. I would have been here long ago if TDE were an
official part of debian, but KDE 5 is so painful and bug-ridden that I am now
forced to overcome my deep-rooted distrust of software that is not in the
official debian repositories.

Probably worth sharing on the user ML as well for future reference, although R14.1.0 won't be out soon...

Subject: R14.1.x new Kate session panel
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2017 00:29:11 +0900
From: Michele Calgaro <michele.calgaro(a)yahoo.it>
To: TDE devel <trinity-devel(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net>
Dear all,
I have finally come around to push the new Kate session panel code to R14.1.x trunk. This adds a session panel to Kate
to easy and enhance working with sessions. I have been using it for a couple of years, while slowly developing it.
In future I envision more functionality added to it, although finding the time to develop that could be a serious challenge.
Just three things to look out for:
1) the format of Kate's session files has changed, the new code will import all your session files and save them with
some differences. So if you are just planning to test the new code to see how it works and then revert to an older
version, it is recommended that you make a backup of your session files before you start and you restore them at the end
of the process
2) with the new code, the "default" session is no longer hardcoded. You can rename it, delete it or do whatever you want.
3) a "read-only session" is a session where you can do whatever editing you want (and all the editing will be saved!).
But when you close Kate or switch to another session, the session file will not be modified and the next time the
session will open with the same GUI-state (same open files, same panel positions and so on...).
If you run into any problem, just report to the ML or preferably open a bug report in bugszilla.
Cheers
Michele
Greetings,
I am using EXE-Linux and having a problem installing my Brother HL-2135
printer. Using other distros I have had no problems, other than resorting to
using the driver for the 2170W model sometimes.
When I select any of the drivers offerered in the 21 series of printer in
TDEPrint I get the following message:
"Unable to find the executable foomatic datafile in your PATH. Check that
Foomatic is correctly installed".
Can anyone help please.
