Re: [trinity-users] can burn DVDs but not CDs

You likely did this but just in case, just k3b's perms setup/ 2. Check all related perms (dvdrecord, cdr* etc). 3. See if you can complete a burn as root (if you can, it's a perm problem) 4. Also try burning at half the adverted speed. Because of today's corner cutting standards, disks are not always adverted speeds. Let us know what happens and good luck, Kate

Can Trinity for Jessie be used for Stretch/ASCII?
by Jimmy Johnson 09 Jun '18

09 Jun '18

I like the desktop for Jessie, I don't feel like I'm missing anything by using it and I'm experiencing a reproducible bug that's shared by others in ASCII/Stretch and it gets worse using the Plasma Desktop and would like to test the problem with TDE for Jessie. The problem is screen blackouts both audio and video using HDMI on a smart tv, the blackouts come and go, come and go, short blackouts using TDE and long blackouts using Plasma. Thank, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Jessie - TDE Trinity R14.0.4 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda2 Registered Linux User #380263

No desktop after upgrade
by mgb-trinity＠yosemite.net 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Upgraded from Jessie + TDE Stable to Stretch + TDE PSB. Upgraded cleanly. On first attempt TDE ran some kind of XDG compliance enforcer. TDM starts and I can log in. TDE spends half a minute or so saying "starting desktop" in the usual way but then I'm left with nothing but the cursr and a blue background. The only anomaly I've found thus far in the logs is (IIRC) an ASSERT of "primary_set" from randr. Any suggestions, tips, or hints would be welcome. Difficult to answer questions as without KMail it is taking me several attempts to type perfect headers into telnet that the list software will accept. I have recent backup as a last resort but am hoping for a way forward. Thanks, --Mike

HP laptop volume keys don't work
by Dan Youngquist 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

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 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

-----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-----
