trouble with tdm on debian/buster
by James D Freels 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hello TDE users/developers: First, let me take this opportunity to state, once again, TDE is by far, my favorite desktop. I have used it for many years, and continue to support it financially and encourage all users to do likewise. I am using debian/buster now since it's release. I am also using the "preliminary stable builds" of TDE using the following location: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb buster deps-r14 main-r14 I am having 2 problems. The first is with TDM, which I will describe here. I will ask for help on the 2nd problem later. In addition to tdm-trinity, I also have 2 other login managers installed: lightdm and lxdm. Both of these are working fine. Only TDM has this problem. I would much prefer to use TDM. If I boot up under TDM (after running dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity first to initiate TDM into the boot sequence), it starts fine, but continuously hangs in the main console with one of the infamous systemd problems wherein we get the "a startjob is running ..." and it NEVER ends until rebooted. The TDM session appears to run fine, and I can login and run TDE fine. However, because the vt1 console is never ending waiting to complete, I have no other VT consoles. Essentially, I have NO virtual consoles at all. Further, computer resources are always wasted and never ends waiting for the the startup to completely finish. This ONLY happens when booting up with TDM. I can bootup with LXDM or LIGHTDM and this does not happen. Further, I can issue a "systemctl stop lightdm" or "systemctl stop lxdm" (depending on which is running from the boot), then issue a "systemctl start tdm-trinity" and TDM runs fine and there is not a never ending startjob waiting to complete. So, it appears that TDM does not start in the same order of the boot sequence as LXDM and/or LIGHTDM which is causing this problem. It is at this point, where I need some help in how to fix it, and I suspect that all debian/buster users may have the same issue, but not sure of course. I hope I can help get his bug fixed before the final release of TDE for buster. Thanks again. Jim Freels, PhD (retired)

Hi people A recent update seems to be causing amarok to crash when I attempt to play a song. I get the usual signal 11 stuff of the gui. From the commadline I get [kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'amarokapp' crashing... Invalid write to eventfd: Bad file descriptor Code should not be reached at pulsecore/fdsem.c:199, function pa_fdsem_post(). Aborting. [kcrash] Unable to start Dr. Konqi Any idea as to what might be causing this? It's happening on all pclos boxes. Cheers to all, Kate

Did you install Slavek's version, or are you trying to update "regular" TDE with Slavek's version? I never tried the second option, but having the Premilimanry stable builds installed on Buster (clean install, not upgrade) I see not problem with apt-get update Thierry

Mouse too fast - where can I set DPI ?
by Internal Affairs 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Hello all you good people, My mouse is moving too fast. It is a simple Crystal White Mouse bij Logitech, nothing fancy. I tried setting DPI in the hwdb of udev. But it seems like it only works for a few seconds, and then the mouse is fast again. Setting accelaration to 0 also does not help. I have no idea where the DPI is set. evdev is not present on this system. My distro is ExeGnu. Any ideas? Eric-Jan

kmail forever indexing is back
by Gene Heskett 16 Dec '19

16 Dec '19

Greetings all; So I picked the largest cur dirs, and using mc have moved about 2 years worth of each to an outside of the ~/Mail view of kmail. And nuked those index files, so it has to rebuild them. Its not done with that yet, but we'll see. Damn this is getting old. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

How to minimize all windows (and not have them pop back up by themselves)?
by Michael 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hi All, Both the ‘Show Desktop’ button and Ctrl+Alt+D will minimize all windows and upon repeat action raise just those prior minimized windows. All good, except; A) It seems locking the session also raises the windows again and B) raising anything prior to re-clicking ‘Show Desktop’ resets the ‘Show Desktop’ action so it doesn’t now raise just those prior minimized windows. Replication: A) Ctrl+Alt+D {windows are minimized} Lock Session Login {windows have been restored} B) Ctrl+Alt+D {windows are minimized} Click a task in the taskbar (e.g. Firefox) Ctrl+Alt+D {window is minimized} {prior windows are not restored} Anyone know of a way to minimize all displayed windows such that A) results in windows staying minimized upon lock/unlock and in B) (re)performing the action (or even using some other command) results in the original minimized windows being restored? Possibly something using dcop kdesktop ??? , maybe dcop twin ??? (I tried looking there, but even using kdcop, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack for things even relevant) Thanks, Michael PS: Way to go whoever is doing TDE SEO, Google search on “dcop gui” returns https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks in 5th place :)
