greetings, folks,
through inadvertence I wiped out my Linux partition. I restored my
files but I didn't have a backup of the system so I installed a new
version of q40s (which runs a version of TDE). I use a prior version
on another laptop I don't have access to right now.
then began the misadventures with font sizes in this HiDPI laptop; I
got some help from the list (thanks!) last yr with such problems on a
similar laptop.
I've wrestled them to the ground for the most part but the windows
labelled as "TDE Control Module" have teensy font size. where do I
find the file that regulates their appearance?
thanks for the advice.

I just installed TDE on a new-to-me system running debian stable (buster).
All the initial system installation was done from a live CD, and it installed
KDE. That installed version of KDE works as well as KDE ever works these days.
In particular, though, the screen looks fine (1920x1200) and everything works
as expected.
In the newly-installed TDE, though, the desktop flickers wildly and the
desktop is simply unusable: input is lost during the flickers, so most
keyboard/mouse input is not even seen by the desktop.
Where should I look to try to eliminate all the flickering so that I can get a
usable TDE?

Since my kmail problems seem to be both legendary and generally ignored,
I have based my attempted fixes, which so far have only managed to fix
it for a week at most.
And I thought 2 weeks ago I had found a fix, but then the motherboard
caught fire at one of the usb to back panel headers, requiring a fire
extinguisher]s services and stinking up the place something awful.
S9 as of last evening, a new mobo, cpu is now a 9nth gen core i5 with 6
cores running at 3.7 GHz and more memory, from 8 to 32GB, yadda yadda
has given kmail a brand new playpen to raise hell in. Which is exactly
what its doing, bounceing from core to core, using 87% to 100% of
whichever core it running on at this second.
A brief description seems to be that it is continuously regenerating the
index files forever, burning up a core of the cpu forever. I say burning
up somewhat tongue-in-check as I bought the biggest cpu cooler that
didn't need water, and its running maybe 3 degrees above room temp.
This I assume includes the sorted lists. But because this corpus of
email has been copied and recopied so many times, and the copy creation
is faster than the time granularity of the sort, the sort is never
satisfied so it goes on forever.
What I'd like to do is ask linux to lie during one more copy operation,
by having a script scan the header of the message for the oldest date,
which likely is the date the message was rx'd here, and assign the
filesystems creation date from that header date. This would have the
effect of restoreing the time differences it is sorting by such that
there should not be 50 messages all sharing the same second in 2017
creation date from the last copy operation which is the situation now.
This of course is asking linux to lie as some of these messages are 20
years older than their creation dates on the disk.
So, can it be done? If so, how? Or, can we change the sort date/time
from linux's filesystem view, to the date/time contained in the messages
header? This would slow the sort, a lot, but would restore the time
granularity of the sort.
What say you?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi
I brought up the topic a while ago, and it is really something I am
missing much.
Here is the situation.
1. I posses a Thinkpad X1 running Ubuntu 16.04
2. On top of that trinity 4:14.0.6.
3. When I use the gnome desktop shipped by Ubuntu, closing the lid
hibernates my laptop.
4. When I try the same under trinity it does not work, also I
configured TDEPowersave to do that precisely hibernate when lid
is closing.
5. I can hibernate in trinity either pressing FN 4 or using the shutdown
menu.
I am really desperate, it must be a bug, did anybody make some progress
in resolving this issue?
Regards

Looking in journal and Xorg.0.log I see no clues. X starts, but startx just starts
X and exits. Trinity-tdm is installed, but no other *dm, and I see no evidence of
its configuration in systemctl list-unit-files or systemctl list-units.
/var/log/tdm.log was last written over a year ago. Trinity tries to start using
startx /opt/trinity/bin/starttde, but a popup comes twice, then X exits:
"There was an error setting up inter-process communications for TDE. The messag
returned by the system was:
Could not read network connection list.
/root/.DCOPserver_hp945_0
Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!"
startx icewm works.
How does one do that, and why isn't there a TDM running?

Hi everyone.
I have a PC with opensuse tumbleweed and trinity as desktop, all
working fine.
Yesterday i upgrade the system and now i cant start the trinity
session.
There was an erro setting up....... Could not read network connection
list .DCOPserver_
Check that DCOp server is running
So i check the the file HOME/.xsession-errors and found:Â
Autentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specidfied are supported and host-based authentication failed
Â
I search in google and found 2 points:
1)The hostname, i change it and same DCOP problem
2)libICE problem. specifically problem with versionÂ
libice-1.0.9-2 to libice-1.0.10-1
i cant confirm the point 2. but plasma work fine. i dont know how
downgrade libice and i dont know how solve the problem
Â
Best Regards

Hi people,
Ok I realized my mistake and fixed it (See below). However the TV doesn't
support that resolution. So it appears, I either need to upgrade cards or
stay at this resolution. So the question is now, video card recommendations.
I just want something that will take advantage of the greater capabilities of
the TV.
Thank you again.
Kate
Original Question:
I stepped into it. A client gave me a Samsung QLED 43 inch TV to use as a
monitor for "fixing" his zip drive problem (he had it slaved to a ROM drive
so it wasn't working properly). One tax audit survival later, TV...
Anyway, I want to take advantage and run a higher res. Currently it's running
at 1920x1080. I've tried a variety of thing to change the res but none were
really successful. The card can run higher resolution than that. The card is
a Radeon HD 6450 with 2G DDR3 with a max res of 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz.
I tried using pclos's ui but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm assuming I'm
doing something wrong (obviously) so here I am.
Any thoughts humans, AIs and others?

Hello,
Since upgrade Debian Stretch => Buster,
I do not have any more the daemon file "tdm" in "/etc/init.d/"
(it was present in Stretch).
So, the system doesn't boot on tde-trinity desktop.
Is it norrmal ?
What to do to have the daemon "tdm" in /etc/init.d/ as before ?
Cheers,
André
