[trinity-users] Purging non needed TDE packages
by Michael 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

Somewhat on a whim, I’m trying to figure out what laptop packages I can remove from my desktop. Having already removed touchpad-indicator, I came across klaptopdaemon-trinity as a good candidate. # aptitude search '~d laptop' i A klaptopdaemon-trinity - battery monitoring and management for laptops using TDE So, did a dry run, and it wants to remove all of TDE from the computer. (output below) So, uhm, what am I missing here? TDE isn’t really dependent on a laptop daemon, right? My desktop does not need that package, right? What’s the proper command to remove it? Thanks, Best, Michael michael@local [~/data/trash]# apt-get purge --dry-run klaptopdaemon-trinity NOTE: This is only a simulation! apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.

[trinity-users] Fonts question
by Janek Stolarek 05 Aug '20

05 Aug '20

In the TCC Fonts module by default the fonts are labelled simply as "serif" and "sans-serif", instead of concrete font names. How can I learn which exact fonts are being used? Bonus question: and how can I add support for Chinese signs to these fonts? Japanese seems to work fine, but some Chinese signs show up as crossed boxes.

[trinity-users] Loading setting on logon takes long time
by Janek Stolarek 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

I've recently set up a new machine with TDE. For reasons I can't figure out, when I log into TDE on the new machine the startup screen needs about 4-5 seconds to get past the "Loading settings" step. On the old machine this takes a split second, so on the new machine this is several times slower. The new machine has a faster SDD and comparable CPU (more cores than the old one, but that's probably not relevant here) so I don't see a good reason why this is so slow. I know there is a setting in TCC to disable configuration checking on login, which I did. It seems to *sometimes* work, i.e. occasionally "Loading settings" will take a split second, but for the most time it still takes 4-5 seconds. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?

[trinity-users] Upload file to Wiki?
by Michael 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

I’m trying to upload the tde.pm for MX Linux to the Wiki. Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, webp. Okay, whatever, I can rename it to tde.png, except the Wiki is a perfectionist: “File extension ".png" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (application/xml).” Would one of the Wiki admins add both .txt and whatever extension handles (application/xml) to the permitted file upload types list? Or just turn the MIME type matching off.

[trinity-users] Apt-get or aptitude to install the TDE?
by Ken Heard 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

I note that in the instructions for installing TDE R14.0.8 say to run as root the following: apt-get update aptitude install TDE-trinity I am confused by the fact that two different installation applications are used here, apt get and aptitude. It was always my understanding that those two apps should not be mixed because they are not compatible. I have always used apt for all the desktops I ever had including for installing TDE and never had any problem. Is aptitude better for TDE than apt? I would prefer to use apt because that is what I plan to use for installing Debian Buster on a couple of desktops in the near future. Ken Heard

[trinity-users] Mounting issues
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 03 Aug '20

03 Aug '20

Hi all! I've just upgraded some old machines and ran into a issue with mounting flash storage devices: pmount only: mounting/unmounting works as expected, but pmount leaves for each plugged device a folder with one file in /media/*/.created_by_pmount - is there an easy way to tell pmount to remove that file+folder when the device is unplugged? udisks2 only: no folder in /media/ is created, mounting fails. I need to create e.g. /media/usb /media/usb0, then mounting/unmounting works. But this is not consistent across machines, some maschines mount flash devices under /media/<username>/... - there mounting/inmounting works, if the folder /media/user/ exists. But how/where can I unify the behaviour, so it always mounts devices on /media/<device> ?

[trinity-users] KMix can't control audio volume
by Janek Stolarek 01 Aug '20

01 Aug '20

I'm setting up TDE-based Debian on a new machine and I've run into a problem I have not experienced on any other of my machines with similar configurations: KMix can't control audio volume. More specifically, I have two audio outputs: an HDMI one (via nVidia card with proprietary drivers) and a front panel audio jack. Sound works correctly on both outputs and I can control it with pavucontrol (PulseAudio sound mixer). However: 1. KMix master slider that appears after clicking on the tray icon does absolutely nothing. 2. When I open the mixer window in KMix it recognizes PulseAudio as an audio device. There is just one volume slider and it does nothing. 3. Another recognized audio device is HD-Audio Generic. This has a bunch of output sliders and the sliders work correctly (i.e. they change the volume) when the sound is directed to headphones, but not when it's directed to HDMI (output change done via pavucontrol). 4. The final audio device recognized by KMix is HDA Nvidia. This only has seven toggles labales IEC958. First toggle mutes/unmutes the sound, the remaining ones don't seem to be doing anything. I'm puzzled. This is the first time I see KMix master slider not working at all, even though I have pulseaudio set up on all my other machines with TDE. Any thoughts or suggestions?
