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.

squawk about kmail fwding an email
by Gene Heskett 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Greetings all; I don't often fwd a message by any kmail method, but with the recent election and the demonrat hijinks that gave it to Joe, I wanted to fwd a message from the local libertarian mailing list to another friend. But SA has been putting this is spam headers on those messages and I found that kmail, when it fwd's a msg so labeled, forwards only the sa header, not the whole maryann as I intended. The msg itself is not forwarded. Can this bug be addressed? Or do I have something in my config fubared?

Another card I'm looking at is the Creative Labs Sound Blaster AE-9 PCIe https://www.microcenter.com/product/610437/creative-labs-sound-blaster-ae-9… Although, as far as I can tell, has no linux support but I could be wrong. Thanks again Kate

MediaWiki, CategoryTree not enabled by default?
by Michael 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Hi Slávek (or anyone else who admin’s the Wiki), I’m trying to add the category list as displayed on: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Special:Categories to the bottom of the main wiki page: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Trinity_Desktop_Environment MediaWiki says CategoryTree is suppose to be able to do something like that and also is suppose to be enabled by default: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension%3aCategoryTree But, it’s not enabled?, or I’m typo’ing the examples? I could possibly do it manually, but then it’d get out of date. Would you know a way to accomplish this? Basically trying to embed the full top level category list into the bottom of main page, so there is some navigation for users. Best, Michael
