[Possibly OT] Pipewire "popping"
by Hunter Ellett 10 Nov '21

10 Nov '21

Does anyone else here use Pipewire with TDE? I've never used Pipewire until just a few days ago, but I heard lots of good things about it. On Linux, I have an audio issue that wasn't present with OSS on FreeBSD (which makes me think it may be ALSA-related), where the sound likes to "pop" randomly. It's especially annoying when listening to music or playing games. I thought it may just be ALSA/Pulseaudio, but even with Pipewire (which is supposed to harmonously combine all sound systems) I still have the popping. I guess with TDE on top of the mix I have ALSA, Arts, and Pulseaudio installed. I am running Debian Sid and followed a guide on fixing the "pop" in Pipewire. Most of the tweaks I tried are in pipewire-pulse.conf (setting pulse.min.freq and pulse.default.freq to lower values) but none of them work. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and figured out how to fix it. -- ~ Hunter

Bluetooth Headphone Microphone
by Edward 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

In addition to my previous question re startup sounds not sounding all the time, I have a question regarding Bluetooth. I am able to use the Bluetooth Manager to connect a pair of headphones and can hear audio through BT, it sounds excellent. The one thing I can't get working is the microphone that is built into BT headphones. I know they are primarily designed for phone calls via a smartphone, but is it possible to use the BT headphone microphone through the PC, for example, if you were having an online Zoom/Skype/Jitsi meeting? The local Linux group has been having virtual meetings every month and although my Logitech headphones with microphone boom (USB-connected) work perfectly, I would like to try wireless/Bluetooth - if it's even possible. I attempted this with the previous distro (Fedora) and was not successful. Thanks again.

TDE R14.0.11 released, new target R14.0.12 will start soon...
by Slávek Banko 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hi all, I would like to thank for all your echo, echo, echo,... You are also who helps the development go forward! Thanks to the development team, mirrors and infrastructure managers, translators, and also users whose testing and reporting issues is also an important part. It is great that we have such a coherent community here. Now, after the release of R14.0.11, we are going to open a window to work on R14.0.12. There are already several pull-requests that are waiting to merge. And also our translators do not stop translating, where the translations will also be merged into the upcoming release. If you used the Preliminary Stable Builds repository only temporarily, and you prefer to stick on the official final release, it is now the best time to switch to the official repository. The packages in both repositories will be identical for some time, so it is smooth to change the apt source if you want. Otherwise, we will be very happy if you help us in testing the upcoming release. Along with the release of R14.0.11, the building of packages for Debian 8.x (Jessie) and Ubuntu 14.04.x (Trusty) will be stopped. So the upcoming R14.0.12 will no longer be available for these distributions - the packages will not be available in the PSB repository. If you are still using one of these distributions, you should consider upgrading to a newer version. I intend to begin building R14.0.12 preliminary packages on November 7th. Thank you for your support! Cheers -- Slávek

TDM not starting in Debian Sid (Preliminary Stable)
by Hunter Ellett 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hello friends, I switched from FreeBSD back to Debian for several reasons: * More software (not necessarily just Trinity), especially with flatpaks * More documentation since I continued to have "unsolved mysteries" on FreeBSD * Greater performance and hardware support * GNU/Linux just as free as in freedom as FreeBSD, I was a bit one sided before But I have an issue. I have installed most core components of Trinity (tdebase, tdeaccessibility, tdegraphics etc.) but I always start in a tty when booting. I tried to execute the starttde script but it doesnt work. Furthermore if I add it to .xinitrc and run startx, it doesn't work. If I remove my home .xinitrc file and use startx, the session will start but I can't use TDM at all. Running the script directly is a lot more verbose, telling me that pretty much nothing can connect to the X server. I have seen this talked about before in the ML but it seems like they solved it. I used to use the preliminary testing branch and it worked but I decided to go with stable this time and can't seem to get TDM to work at all. That pesky X server.
