TDE flickers wildly and unusably; KDE OK
by D. R. Evans 13 Dec '19

13 Dec '19

I just installed TDE on a new-to-me system running debian stable (buster). All the initial system installation was done from a live CD, and it installed KDE. That installed version of KDE works as well as KDE ever works these days. In particular, though, the screen looks fine (1920x1200) and everything works as expected. In the newly-installed TDE, though, the desktop flickers wildly and the desktop is simply unusable: input is lost during the flickers, so most keyboard/mouse input is not even seen by the desktop. Where should I look to try to eliminate all the flickering so that I can get a usable TDE? Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans

my KMail problems, continued
by Gene Heskett 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

Since my kmail problems seem to be both legendary and generally ignored, I have based my attempted fixes, which so far have only managed to fix it for a week at most. And I thought 2 weeks ago I had found a fix, but then the motherboard caught fire at one of the usb to back panel headers, requiring a fire extinguisher]s services and stinking up the place something awful. S9 as of last evening, a new mobo, cpu is now a 9nth gen core i5 with 6 cores running at 3.7 GHz and more memory, from 8 to 32GB, yadda yadda has given kmail a brand new playpen to raise hell in. Which is exactly what its doing, bounceing from core to core, using 87% to 100% of whichever core it running on at this second. A brief description seems to be that it is continuously regenerating the index files forever, burning up a core of the cpu forever. I say burning up somewhat tongue-in-check as I bought the biggest cpu cooler that didn't need water, and its running maybe 3 degrees above room temp. This I assume includes the sorted lists. But because this corpus of email has been copied and recopied so many times, and the copy creation is faster than the time granularity of the sort, the sort is never satisfied so it goes on forever. What I'd like to do is ask linux to lie during one more copy operation, by having a script scan the header of the message for the oldest date, which likely is the date the message was rx'd here, and assign the filesystems creation date from that header date. This would have the effect of restoreing the time differences it is sorting by such that there should not be 50 messages all sharing the same second in 2017 creation date from the last copy operation which is the situation now. This of course is asking linux to lie as some of these messages are 20 years older than their creation dates on the disk. So, can it be done? If so, how? Or, can we change the sort date/time from linux's filesystem view, to the date/time contained in the messages header? This would slow the sort, a lot, but would restore the time granularity of the sort. What say you? Thanks.

hiberate, lid closed thinkpad X1
by Uwe Brauer 07 Dec '19

07 Dec '19

Hi I brought up the topic a while ago, and it is really something I am missing much. Here is the situation. 1. I posses a Thinkpad X1 running Ubuntu 16.04 2. On top of that trinity 4:14.0.6. 3. When I use the gnome desktop shipped by Ubuntu, closing the lid hibernates my laptop. 4. When I try the same under trinity it does not work, also I configured TDEPowersave to do that precisely hibernate when lid is closing. 5. I can hibernate in trinity either pressing FN 4 or using the shutdown menu. I am really desperate, it must be a bug, did anybody make some progress in resolving this issue? Regards Uwe Brauer

[trinity-users] no TDE on Mageia 7
by Felix Miata 05 Dec '19

05 Dec '19

Looking in journal and Xorg.0.log I see no clues. X starts, but startx just starts X and exits. Trinity-tdm is installed, but no other *dm, and I see no evidence of its configuration in systemctl list-unit-files or systemctl list-units. /var/log/tdm.log was last written over a year ago. Trinity tries to start using startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde, but a popup comes twice, then X exits: "There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The messag returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_hp945_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!" startx icewm works. How does one do that, and why isn't there a TDM running? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

4k man... Resolved, I think...
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 02 Dec '19

Hi people, Ok I realized my mistake and fixed it (See below). However the TV doesn't support that resolution. So it appears, I either need to upgrade cards or stay at this resolution. So the question is now, video card recommendations. I just want something that will take advantage of the greater capabilities of the TV. Thank you again. Kate Original Question: I stepped into it. A client gave me a Samsung QLED 43 inch TV to use as a monitor for "fixing" his zip drive problem (he had it slaved to a ROM drive so it wasn't working properly). One tax audit survival later, TV... Anyway, I want to take advantage and run a higher res. Currently it's running at 1920x1080. I've tried a variety of thing to change the res but none were really successful. The card can run higher resolution than that. The card is a Radeon HD 6450 with 2G DDR3 with a max res of 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz. I tried using pclos's ui but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong (obviously) so here I am. Any thoughts humans, AIs and others? Kate
