That gives you complete control over pulseaudio, which is what the headset will use with bluetooth. I'm glad you have something working. Kate

Bug on scroll

by Christian Schmitz

Hi Everyone: I am having a strange issue. With firefox and openoffice. The mouse wheel DONT WORK this ocurr a little random but specially after change desktop or make click on lower panel of TDE. If i do click on any point of window and after that i press CTRL+tab then mouse wheel start to work. I make a small video, is in low quality to take fewer bytes. Sadly is take the phone inverted, but you can see the proble very well. I think that are a problem with focus pasing from TDE to program, but is only my idea. Best Regads.

Possible bugs in Trinity Control Center - Printers and OS Installer

by Edward

I installed the PCLinuxOS Trinity Mini image to my second desktop today. Iniitially, the printer was working. When I tried to use the HP Device Manager, once the printer was added to it, it stopped working. The Control Center showed the printer was 'stopped'. The printer is an HP OfficeJet 3830. I was able to get the printer to work again by adding it a second time in the Control Center, but using a different name for it. Then, when I attempted to remove the original printer (in Administrator Mode), the original printer will disappear from the listing once 'Remove' is selected, then about 5 or 10 seconds later, it reappears in the list by itself. I have attempted three additional times in reinstalling the OS from scratch. But after each reinstall and reboot, once logged in, I went to the Printers section and the printer was still listed. On this third reinstall, the printer was physically disconnected from the computer during the re-installation of the OS, no power, no USB. Please understand that this has become frustrating. Some questions: 1. Once in Administrator Mode, why does the printer reappear by itself again, once removed? 2. Why after a fresh, new reinstall of the OS, complete with partitioning of the hard drive (?), does the printer still appear on the Printers screen when it's physically disconnected, once the system comes up after the initial reboot? If no printers are connected, it should not be showing any printers. In fact, the printer status showed: 'Idle (accepting jobs)'. I am going to attempt a fourth reinstall of the OS, but will be using Gparted to format the hard drive, prior to this re-installation.

kworker using a lot of CPU

by Dan Youngquist

Hi all, Fresh installation of MX 19.2 (Debian 10) and TDE 14.0.9. There's a process called "kworker/0:3-events" that continually uses 30% CPU. Maybe 3 times a minute it changes to "kworker/0:3+events_freezable" for several seconds. It isn't there in XFCE; but if you start TDE, then logout and login to XFCE, it is there and continues. Any ideas what this is and how I can make it stop? -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

machines spying on us - NEW thread!

by William Morder

It occurs to me that this thread is starting to go off-topic, but I am also curious to know what might happen. Thus the new thread ...

About the only way to escape them is to go back to the Stone Age and make our own tools. I got into a conversation awhile ago when somebody described Orwell as a futurist. No, I said, he was very bad at guessing about the technological side of the future; but what he did guess was that those new "computing machines" that were used in the "war effort" would soon be used for controlling citizens rather than fighting an external enemy. Orwell worked writing and broadcasting for the BBC during the war years (which he called propaganda), and had an insider's glimpse of what was in store for us in the future; the future which is now.
