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.

Lost TDE Display Manager and other TDE issues after upgrade to Debian 11

by Edward

After upgrading to Debian 11 on both of my two systems, upon reboot, I lost the TDE Display Manager. The login screen defaults to whatever Debian itself uses and I have been unsuccessful getting the TDE login manager back. > ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity > tdm.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. Also...during the upgrade, one of the packages it wanted to remove was binutils, which it did. It left a package binutils-common installed, but not upgraded. If I attempted to remove binutils-common, it also wanted to remove numerous Trinity packages. Is there a fix for these issues?? -- Linux. A Continual Learning Experience.

Apt repository for Devuan

by Slávek Banko

Hi all, if you are using Devuan, you may have noticed with the release of R14.0.9 that there are newly available resources generated for Devuan distribution names in the apt repository. When entering a Trinity repository into the apt sources list, you no longer need to use equivalent Debian distribution names. The packages as such remain the same for both Debian and Devuan, as we still guard to maintain independence from systemd. See https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall Cheers -- Slávek

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

Bluetooth Headphone Microphone

by Edward

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.

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.

twin-style-suse2 for openSUSE Leap 15.2

by Gianluca Interlandi

Dear TDE users list, I see that the SUSE2 theme has been packaged for Trinity thanks to Philippe: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/twin-style-suse2 https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/56#issuecomment-… I wonder whether there are any plans to package it for openSUSE for the current version of Trinity R14.0.10? If not, is it straightfoward to extract the binaries compiled for another distribution and move the files to the respective folders? Thanks!

Is it possible to modify the TDE Menu search function keybinding?

by Brian Durant

I have been digging around the TDE documentation, as well as the TDE center to see if there is a way to change the TDE menu search function keybinding. I am pretty sure that there is an answer, as there must be others as well, using a non-US/UK keyboard layout. Any ideas?
