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.

KMix not controlling volume / Konsole not beeping (MX-18 Linux)

by Michael

Hi All, - TDE - MX-18 Linux (Debian 9 "stretch") - GTX 1060 (NVidia) - ASUS monitor (VP228he), connected through HDMI Ref: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=48235 I finally got sounds working but... - The applet KMix doesn’t change the volume no matter which option I select within it. - Konsole will play a test sound for the ‘Bell emitted within a visible session’ but it doesn’t play the sound (or any other it seems) when it should (e.g. hit ‘Backspace’ at empty prompt). - When TCC restarts the sound server all 'The Window Manager' sounds no longer work. 'The Window Manager' sounds seem to be coming from the MX’s Settings Manager>System Sounds not TDE. [1] Based upon the last item, I’m guessing TDE and MX are fighting over who’s managing sound? Just a guess, but does anyone have a hint on what to look at to get TDE back in control? The ‘Ref:’ above has ‘aplay -l’ and other details. Thanks, Michael [1] https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=48790

Where, in wheezy, do I make kopnqeror the default browzer?

by Gene Heskett

I'd like to make it the default, but everytime I click a link in konqueror, it launches anothercopy of mozilla. So how do I make konqueror the default?

Printing multiple copies

by deloptes

Hi, can some one confirm that you can print multiple copies of a PDF document with kpdf? I just tried to print 4 copies, but the printer is printing only one. I have HP M402dn on a cups server. I don't recall when I printed multiple copies or even if I have done so. thanks and regards

kedit , kate , konqueror, modify files on remote computer

by andre_debian＠numericable.fr

Hello, I posted some months ago this problem : When I want to modify some files with Konqueror and kedit, from a remote computer server on my local computer (sftp), the file is downloaded in a tmp trinity directory. When it is saved, I have to upload it to the server. This is a waste of time, if I must modify many files. If I use "kate" (instead kedit), I dont'have this problem. Strange, on my laptop, with * strictly * the same configuration than my workplace computer, kedit saves directly the files on the remote server. Not so important, kate is good, it's just to understand. Happy day, André

Re: [trinity-users] kedit , kate , konqueror, modify files on remote computer

Not quite on topic for the original post, but a comment on that comment: There is one respect where, in my opinion, KEdit is much better than KWrite. If you are jotting down a lot of notes on something, and using soft word wrap, and you want to scan through the file, looking for something, by dragging the scroll bar up or down, KWrite has a disconcerting behaviour such that as you drag, the top of each paragraph jumps to the top of the text area, making it very uncomfortable to scan through the file. KEdit does not have that problem, and behaves perfectly smoothly as you drag the scroll bar up and down. For that reason, I always use KEdit for jotting down a lot of informal notes on something, and it's great for that purpose. But I always use KWrite for coding. I remember that KDE 3 had a bug such that turning off the cursor blinking in Qt3 control did not stop the cursor blinking in KEdit. That was such a serious problem that I had to stop using KEdit in KDE 3. That bug has been fixed in Trinity, and the fix is much appreciated.
