[trinity-users] Kmix : sound volume max at tde boot.
by ajh-valmer 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hello, I use debian Buster, TDE, all recently upgraded. The sound volume adjust works well. When TDE starts, the sound is always at the max level, even if before stopping the laptop, I put down the volume at the mini level (zero, no sound). Each time after boot, I have to put the sound down manually. Thank to tell me how to do to maintain the low volume. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] Mageia: no desktop context menu
by Felix Miata 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

This absence is regardless of version. I have several installations on various PCs all unable to produce a desktop context menu. What could I be missing? openSUSE and Debian installations all work as expected in this regard. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[trinity-users] Kmail attachments question
by Janek Stolarek 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

A quick question about KMail attachments. By default when I click on a (PDF) attachment KMail asks whether to save it or open with KPDF. I have accidentally marked the "remember my choice" checkbox. How do I undo that? I really want KMail to ask me what to do.

[trinity-users] Setting mouse speed?
by Janek Stolarek 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

I just realized I don't know how to set mouse speed in TDE. Control center allows to set acceleration but not speed. I'd like to set acceleration to 1 (default: 2) but then the mouse is a bit too slow, so I need to increase the speed. How can I do that?

[trinity-users] MX-TDE edition options
by Michael 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Hey all, I’ve reached out to the MX Linux group and asked: How to add a DE to the MX Package Installer? https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=59309 The response is pretty positive and I think it’s at the point of needing a TDE developer to contact their lead developer to work out what/which options are available and what would be the next step. Copy/Pasting current replies: ########### by Michael-IDA » Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:14 pm [me] I'm not a dev, but there has been interest by the TDE (Trinity Desktop Environment) folks to get added into the 'official' MX build. What, or who, can I point the TDE devs to? by Jerry3904 » Sat Jul 18, 2020 8:28 pm [Administrator] The Lead Dev: Dolphin Oracle. by andyprough » Sat Jul 18, 2020 9:16 pm [User] By the way, TDE is extremely easy to add to MX - just add the repos and the gpg signing key from the Debian installation page (https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst…), and then apt update, and apt install tde-trinity. Works very well on MX. by Stevo » Sat Jul 18, 2020 10:49 pm [Developer] That makes it simple to add to MX PI scripts, but are they looking for real "official" approval from MX, or just being added to the installer? Maybe they could work with us to set up an official MX-TDE edition, if they're interested, though of course the XFCE-specific MX tools will again have to modified for TDE right after dolphin_oracle has adapted them for the upcoming KDE release. It would probably need both a 32 and a 64-bit release. ########### For whatever I’m capable, I’ll help.

[trinity-users] what is "platform reset"?
by Felmon Davis 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

greets! I have a new notebook I want to install Debian/Trinity on. 'Secure Boot' is turned on. maybe this doesn't account for the problems I'm having but my question is about it. in the BIOS I can turn it off but it says doing so "requires platform reset." turning it off within Windows simply reboots to the BIOS. I can't figure out if this is just another word for 'reboot' or does it have other consequences? googling yields no clear (or trustworthy) answer. it's an Asus Zenbook with Windows 10 Home; BIOS is American Megatrends version 300. f. -- Felmon Davis Verbum sat sapienti. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] Inconsistent font sizes
by Janek Stolarek 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

I have a question about configuring font sizes in TDE Control Centre. I would expect that setting a given font size under a given screen resolution will always produce the same rendering result. That however is not the case - see attached screenshots. These were taken on two different machines running a FHD resolution. As you can see font sizes are set to be identical on both system but the results of font rendering are totally different between the systems. I am guessing that this is because the rendering engine is trying to somehow compensate for different physical sizes of the actual screens (15,6" on the laptop vs. 24" on the desktop) but the end result is far from what I want. There's a setting to force a font DPI of either 96 or 120 and the result is that it indeed makes the font on the laptop much much smaller and seemingly consistent with what the desktop shows. I would, however, want things the other way around, i.e. set the desktop to the same rendering results as on the laptop. Any way I can set a DPI different than the predefined options?

[trinity-users] upgrade always wants to throw out my tdmrc
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

Is there some configuration option or other method to make apt or zypper or dnf or urpmi not want to discard my tdmrc customizations with each upgrade to a new minor release, so that the question doesn't get asked, and the process wait for a keyboard response? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[trinity-users] Trouble mounting sr1 as user but not sr0 updated info
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

I forgot to mention but are bluray external powered USB drives. Hi People (and the rest of you) Having trouble mounting sr1 as user but not sr0. It's clearly a perm problem but I'm at a loss to figure it out as both have the same perms. When trying to mount from media:/ for example I get: Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem” on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr1 My user belongs to all the right groups. sr0 works as expected. Any ideas?

The last was a Zenbook Flip of a friend. thank you and William and Nikolaus for help. I have Debian/Trinity installed on a Zenbook UX330 which is why I thought it safe to attempt it on this Zenbook UX433FAC-A5348T but my attempts have failed. the installer craps out and sends me to the commandline. I have tried with Debian Live and netinst, 4Q0S live and Devuan ASCII netinst. I did disable Secure Boot without disastrous consequences, that is, the native Windows Home still boots, etc. I do not want to do too much 'surgery' since it is fresh bought and I can return it if it's not too far from default state. I wanted to boot up Linux, look around and then determine my install strategy. I may be plotting my return strategy instead. not sure how to diagnose. I see an error as follows: 'please fix 'fbdev' driver. fbdev didn't call xf86SetGamma to initialise'. no idea how to fix it. Gerhard, Nikolaus, how do you get '|' on a German keyboard? I can't do a 'dmesg | less' without it. (actually the keyboard is German but I suppose the key setup is American.) f. -- Felmon Davis Verbum sat sapienti. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
