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.

Problem with starting arduino ide (from devel to user)

by MLR

Hi again. Did Nik mean chmod o+w or chmod a+w? I looked to the manpage, a+w is writeable for everyone. It can solve the message "failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp'". But I learned that user shouldnt write in /etc/... folder. When I made chmod a+w /etc/tqt3 does it affect on /etc or only in /etc/tqt3? I dont want to destroy my system. :/ For the new readers, this is my problem: I have ubuntu 18.4 with trinity R14.0.5. If I want to start the arduino ide from arduino.cc (download and extract arduino-1.8.7-linux64.tar.xz) there comes the splash-screen for one second and it crashes with this message: ~/arduino-1.8.7$ ./arduino Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing What I have to install or change? I logged in today with the ubuntu standard desktop and the arduino ide works great. deloptes points in devel to $CLASSPATH, the var in empty in my shell. ./arduino is a bash script.

I don't know if it's useful to you. Also, you can try installing Seamonkey,which has the same web editor as part of the suite. Assuming opensuse has it as a package. Kate

KPDF Print wants to convert my document to...what?

by J Leslie Turriff

I don't often print PDF documents, but recently when I have tried to do so I have been stymied when KPDF told me that my document needs conversion. It also says something about using a non-CUPS print server, which is not my case. I have attached screen shots of the relevant message dialogs that KPDF produces. When I click through these, most of the time KPDF just disappears, but sometimes I see the third dialog first. I can find no information on what it's really wanting or trying to do, so I have no clue as to which MIME type to choose. My understanding is that somewhat recently, Linux has switched from printing PDFs directly to converting them to PostScript; perhaps that has something to do with this? What is the proper way to navigate these dialogs? Leslie

tdekbdledsync

by Russell Brown

Hmmm.... tdekbdledsync is trying to control the wrong keyboard LEDs for remote displays. We have a number of remote users (XDMCP/tdm) and each one has a tdekbdledsync process running with /dev/tty0 and /dev/input/eventX open on the server (the machine hosting tdm) and not the remote workstation. This is obviously wrong. Ideally, tdekbdledsync should be smarter and not try to control the keyboard LEDs on remote displays but as it isn't, can I globally disable tdekdbledsync? (we don't run X on the main server console). I looked at the tdm source and in kgapp.cpp I see: if (trinity_desktop_synchronize_keyboard_lights) { kbdl = new TDEProcess; *kbdl << TQCString( argv0, strrchr( argv0, '/' ) - argv0 + 2 ) + "tdekbdledsync"; kbdl->start(); } but I can't find what sets "trinity_desktop_synchronize_keyboard_lights". Any pointers? -- Regards, Russell -------------------------------------------------------------------- | Russell Brown | MAIL: russell(a)lls.com PHONE: 01780 471800 | | Lady Lodge Systems | WWW Work: http://www.lls.com | | Peterborough, England | WWW Play: http://www.ruffle.me.uk | --------------------------------------------------------------------

WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs clean HTML code?

by Michael

Hi All, Completely off topic, and I understand that this is like asking who has the Holy Grail... Anyone have good experience with a WYSIWYG HTML editor that outputs plain, clean HTML code? Anything close to say LibreOffice Writer or MS Word that exports/outputs regular HTML and not a thousand lines of trash to say “Hello World?” While I’m wishing on a star, if it also has a spell-checker and a table of contents creator based on H tags nirvana might just be found! Best, Thanks, Michael
