[tde-users][suse] update alternatives for default desktop
by Felix Miata 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager default-displaymanager /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/tdm 15 /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager Above sets the default display manager to TDM. What is the corresponding first command to install TDE (as a desktop selection)? I know how to make it work via symlink, but what is the update-alternatives command method??? The symlink method doesn't make TDE an available selection when update-alternatives --config is run. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.

Windows are forgetting my size preferences
by J Leslie Turriff 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

For some time now, whenever I open a PDF file with kpdf, its window appears only a few inches tall instead of the max height from when I have previously closed it. I have tried to use Advanced => Special Window Settings => Maximized vertically [force], but that doesn't work. Now the main kmail window is starting to do the same thing. What's causing this, and how can I fix it? Leslie

atlantikdesigner-trinity ?

Somehow tdeaddons-trinity pulls in atlantikdesigner-trinity, but IMO this should only be a dependency iod tde-games. Or is there a reason for this? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Avengers Assemble

Ok humans, AIs and others... I hope this email finds you and yours healthy and safe. I never everyone's input here. Ok, every 20 years (yes that's right), I rebuild my primary computer. It's now time. I have all the pieces collect save for 1. I need to replace my fully linux supported Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum PCIx with a PCIe card. I'm currently looking at this one, Creative SoundBlaster AE-7. However I can't find any definitive info stating it's linux supported. I'm using Kernel 4.19.124-pclos1 because of it's excellent stability. Until the human unit, designated as "Alistair Izzard" (who's judgment I've come to trust well) rolls out a new ISO, I'll stick with this kernel. Can anyone find any info on it or suggest a similar but fully supported card? All input is welcome. Thanks in advance. Begin processing... Cheers, Kate PS, I'm so going to binge watch the marvel movies now.

Startup sound not playing all the time
by Edward 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

I've noticed when the systems boot up, the startup sound is not playing all of the time, but the sound at logoff plays all the time. Is there a setting that will perhaps fix this? I looked at TCC/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System, but wasn't sure if any of those settings would correct it. Also, after I installed the OS on my other system, in order for the system sounds to play at all, I had to go to the same selection, choose Hardware, change the Audio Device from Autodetect to ALSA, save it, then change it back to Autodetect. Should this setting specifically be on ALSA? Thank you in advance.

Do a search of your package manager and search for... mp3 (there's lots) audio media info meta info trinity-multimedia easytag is another and the like. Good luck, Kate
