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

I just resubscribed, but the 64$ question is how did I get removed?

by Gene Heskett

Last post ack the list archives was in August 2017, after which the list was silent, and my msgs were apparently routed to /dev/null. But I didn't unsubscribe. My ISP has been known to block/bounce but pearsoncomputing.net was in their "whitelist", I put it there yonks ago. Anyway, I'm glad to be back. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

HP laptop volume keys don't work

by Dan Youngquist

Hi all, HP Probook 6475b, Debian 9 (stretch) (MX 17.1 actually), TDE 14.0.5. The volume buttons will move the onscreen indicator between 0% and 10%, but no farther, and the volume setting is unaffected. The volume buttons work fine in XFCE. Any ideas where to look for the problem? Thanks.

changes to konqueror ark plugin submenu

by Michele Calgaro

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear all, the "compress as" submenu in Konqueror is going to have some minor rework. We are changing the default compression format from gz to xz and enabling jar format (which could be useful for java programmers). We would like to remove lzma from that menu since we think it is not widely used anymore (the format would still be available through the "Add to archive" entry). Any objection on this last point before we proceed? thanks Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEjhl1z5vbYB3YbFTiKnW3yore1c8FAlsNB/QACgkQKnW3yore 1c9MBg/+Nr+hMbtK7EE/F+B010HlOm8bDKN9ivSkVY6+hCqG6MAXIZtBJjACLsKo i84yChQnehPaL2pSNEY83MIguRN9FFVxHtgw3gNOkAU1zqnLPTZw4ug963aPBT6Q L4tf0CHjdFehaNBPLbKF3GfuAHzqC+VjRKTwVurXw9bXzLOCAie/ABdZbz3INYBo y8ATRbiyRlr3oGaaujIXoQkj7I2q5a7nw9DFFL1UhncgxLbnRSWgo8ttXfM+nkgx 7gp/5KHH6DucWWBPnY1m6KsRB5DpprRVHKg5krtD/sln59XvXK92CmzvMRyieH2M 8DNCrePSVEHiaFRDPM1LjRT9ntEMeaWTbpaGUdgHsYgnUbGsbG+asHz+NEwEjvSE LkRGDof2lVGfiQLjRxpP2JZ1uVaTyXQv9+yByj7A77f9jTylXju6dNVegvnPWnBP NZ8MWB2Q3TztPWyLS3NeSJHX6XLfBDj3Iw9gbXg6KRATnJLuw1M/3N6Lldnw6dwp TZtuHXOLacbt1XQDt/MuL1HjFQK5Xsech1ZyDktW74HLWGqGO8ZLTPfWp074YBBK sdGp/8UQVRo84Za9Wz8TYxJJBobwBcHoxLFdDNzjomEtf12HcLfnhk23x3oooJ51 kEsNrjJ/BiZg7iKB+888qER3U1y5Hq6l5moA0nIit1cxy8UvwKY= =fjkJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[tiny new feature proposal] by default space between "close window" and "restore/maximize"

by wofgdkncxojef＠gmail.com

Hi everyone. This is a proposal for a tiny usability improvement, in my biased opinion. A bit of space between "close window" (the X) and "restore/maximize" (the boxy thing) up right, on the window border. If you remember, kubuntu did this once. You can already do this your self, i'm just proposing to make it the default config. If the devs feel, enough people approve of it on the mailing list, they will do it. So make sure to share your opinion.

Getting the trinity-keyring in Devuan.

by Jimmy Johnson

Getting the trinity-keyring in Devuan can be tricky, I had to learn a system that worked, First of course is to do the Devuan base install and then boot and login and do apt-get update and 'apt-get install trinity-keyring --allow-unauthenticated', now you can apt-get install tde-trinity, you will have to tell apt 'y' for yes when asked to install untrusted. After the install is done and you boot to the trinity desktop you can copy the trinity-keyring and run 'apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.io --recv-keys (paste the trinity-keyring here)' and your good to go. If you try to have a system without the keyring properly installed you are going to have system problems, so make sure you can install aptitude and can run aptitude dist-upgrade without problems.

Help with HDMI audio please!

by Jimmy Johnson

Hey Guys, first my thanks to Timothy who had the foresight to start this project and stay with it. Timothy Pearson you rock! I test Debian and Ubuntu KDE for more than 20yrs, but no more I'm leaving Plasma and Systemd, they take the Happy out of Camping and computing too. I'm trying to setup Trinity with No-Systemd and get a good HDMI connection for both audio and video, it seems with systemd this is no problem and without systemd it's a hit and miss thing, if I keep at it I can get it working but I don't know what I'm doing and get frustrated. I have 3 multimedia computers one has nvidia and I'm watching video and I have audio, I can turn audio down using the video player vol control but the tde-mixer or pulseaudio vol control are not working. The other two are Intel audio and video and I feel lucky to get audio at all, sometimes it's just video and when I go to the konsole and type $ 'pulseaudio --start' I can get audio. Any help to get all this to working auto-magic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Beowulf - TDE-Trinity R14.0.5 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda8 Registered Linux User #380263

can't start screensaver matrix

by Uwe Brauer

Hi I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and the corresponding trinity version. But know I have a sort of bizarre problem. I activate the screensaver, I select the matrix. I successfully run the test, but when the screensaver should start, just a simple empty blank screensaver starts, but not the matrix. Is there anybody with a a similar problem and know how to solve it? Thanks Uwe Brauer
