kdesktop error
by Oleg Levenets 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi, I'm getting a kdesktop boot error from time to time on my system: https://paste.ee/p/rfxYv I compile the tqt3 package with the options -pipe -g -ggdb3 -Og -fvisibility = hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden, unfortunately when I use the -O0 option this error does not manifest itself. Maybe you need some more technical data to solve my problem? best regards, Oleg Levenets.

home and desktop are the same
by Thierry de Coulon 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

I 've decided to create a new user restricted to special use. I created this user with kuser. Works well, I can log to it but... there is no "Desktop" folder, rather /home/<new user> *is* the desktop folder. With the result that any /home/<folder> shows on the desktop. I guess there must be a way and a place to tell TDE to use /home/desktop but I have not found it yet. Thierry

Devuan Jessie works well but is based on Debian Jessie which is moving into LTS. Devuan Ascii works well and is based on Debian Stretch and is well supported. Devuan Beowulf is in development based on Debian Buster in development. I don't know what you mean by "Devuan Jessie-Beowulf merged version". I would not recommend Jessie as it is moving to LTS. I would not recommend Beowulf at this time except to bleeding edge users who are comfortable fixing any problems they might encounter. I would suggest you start with a working Devuan Ascii before thinking about TDE PSB. --Mike Sorry, that's totally my mistake. I've been running Debian for about a year now, but I've only been running Devuan for about a week. I am not familiar with what Devuan names correspond to the naming in Debian. I know that Devuan Ascii corresponds to Debian Stretch, and somewhere I thought I remembered that Beowulf corresponded to Jessie. Apparently they did not change the name for Jessie? At the time I was only sporadically online, had no list at hand to check, and no browsers installed so that I could look it up online. In any case, I believe I have solved my network issues (or at least found a workaround). There are some deeper issues that I will bring up in another thread. Bill

got a puzzle
by Gene Heskett 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Greetings all; I ran synaptic-pkexec this morning and got some non-sensical errors. Shut it down, and looked in /etc/apt, and found all my sources.lists had been replaced by something pointing at stevenpusser at opensusi.org. And all the changes were dated this morning. Now, I have no clue who the hell steven pusser is, but there sure as hell isn't anything on this system, an i386 wheezy install, from opensusi.org that I know about. And its all owned by root. So even after I've restored the .saved versions of everything, the .saved weren't exactly correct since the trinity entry was pointed at cz, which I was told last week was a deprecated address. So among other things I need to restore is my deb line for the trinity repo. Never having run kpackage-trinity, I thought I's see what it looked like, it was showing as installed but its not in any of the TDE menu's. And can't be found by me or root. All of this mucking with my sources list was apparently done by synaptic-pkexec. Its all datestamped today at 5:40AM locale time, which is when I tried to run synaptic-pkexe. And I can find no "arch" reference anyplace. It should be i386 for this machine. Call me puzzled. Or worse. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

How to stop screen/session lock?
by Jimmy Johnson 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

I use my laptop for multimedia connected to external screen and run it with the lid closed, well when I close the lid the screen locks and I have to plug a external keyboard in to type the password, what a pain and it would help a lot if I can turn off screen session lock. Anybody know how to turn it off? Thanks, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Jessie - TDE Trinity R14.0.4 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda2 Registered Linux User #380263

Hopefully you don't have comcast or any of it's sub companies. I'm hearing terrible things from those who use them here. Now, onto the important stuff. I completely disagree with you on coffee being the first item in the food group. It's clearly chocolate. I feel better, Kate

just tried to fire up gparted to see if i can use it to resurrect some USB sticks. it has always required me to start it from the commandline, even though i have the box checked to prompt me for my password. anyway, at the commandline it now throws this error: [kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'gpartedbin-gtk-tqt-application' crashing... any guesses? dep Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) Secure Email.

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1". 84 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory. i just realized that this is probably the first time i tried to run gparted since the "upgrade" to ubuntu 16.04. any idea what packages i'm missing here? i have gpartedbin -- /usr/sbin/gpartedbin -- but nothing with gtk or tqt modifiers. dep Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/) Secure Email.
