Ksnapshot
by phiebie＠drei.at 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Trinity 14.0.6 preliminary. Don't know if it is a feature of ksnapshot or a misconfiguration somewhere from me, but it is getting absolutely annoying what happens. I have a website, a document or whatsoever on my screen in full A4-papersize. Now I want a printout of a small part of it. Call ksnapshot, choose "region" "new snapshot" and then draw a border around the desired part. Press "print" and then print it. Bull... I get a print in landscape, useless and even worse not even the original layout reappears. Stop ksnapshot, restart it and same procedure with again the same miserable result. Stop, restart, same procedure but no actual printing, instead I look into the printer properties. And there, big surprise, landscape was marked as to be printed BUT all 4 orientations were grayed out, so I couldn't change that. Checked in tdeprint the printersettings, nothing wrong, in "instances" "settings" all 4 orientations were available and portrait was marked as to be applied in the default printer. Checked kprinter and of course the settings of tdeprint were there also valid. But then I had an idea. If I selected in ksnapshot a larger part of the screen, say more than half A4, what would happen? Yes, some ugly words from me and there it was: portrait was marked but still all 4 possibilities grayed out. So ksnapshot decides how it wants to print and doesn't leave the user a chance to get a result, that he wants. Utterly bull.... Any suggestion, where I could look to alter this behaviour? Phiebie.

skype and pulse audio
by Kate Draven 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

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?

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.

The problem becomes, and naturally so, that TDE may need to become upstream for the various components of Amarok, or Amarok itself it upsteam support is gone. There was a lengthy discussion on the openSuSE list about Amarok and specifically whether a "better alternatives exist.". There were none found that provided the traditional features or behavior of Amarok, which mitigates in favor of patching Amarok and continuing to offer it. There were always shortcomings in the supposed better alternatives that either required hacks or workarounds, even for behavior as trivial as continual play. Just another angle to consider. The openSuSE list discussion was within the past 2-weeks, though I must have deleted that thread. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[trinity-users] exegnu64 sources list.
by gregm 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Want to see if installimg exegnu64 is a "shortcut" to my typical install method. The sources.list for Devuan is correct, the Trinty sources.list is different than the one listed in the install directions, Trinity website. Can I edit the Trinity sources after install and have a robust sytem? gregm

[trinity-users] changing perms
by Gene Heskett 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Greetings all; I find I cannot execute some parts of tde's system admin because its not asking for a sudo passwd, but roots, and root does not have a passwd set. How can I get around this as user 1000? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

[trinity-users] Sound don't works.
by Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

Hi! :-) I just installed TDE (following the official instructions), on a fresh Devuan (stable, x64, console-only) installation. I tried both tde and tdebase metapackages. Everything seems to work good and well, with one exception: Sound doesn't seem to work at all. It may be related to this issue: https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3031 However, this isn't the case here, since installing PulseAudio, didn't change anything. Do you think it's a bug? Any thoughts? TIA! :-) G. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] Alt+Space missing?
by Philip Ashmore 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hi there. I recently noticed this running Debian Buster/Sid using Preliminary Stable build. It's supposed to bring up the Window menu, so Alt+Space N would minimize the window in focus. Anyone else notice this?
