[trinity-users] what is "platform reset"?
by Felmon Davis 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

greets! I have a new notebook I want to install Debian/Trinity on. 'Secure Boot' is turned on. maybe this doesn't account for the problems I'm having but my question is about it. in the BIOS I can turn it off but it says doing so "requires platform reset." turning it off within Windows simply reboots to the BIOS. I can't figure out if this is just another word for 'reboot' or does it have other consequences? googling yields no clear (or trustworthy) answer. it's an Asus Zenbook with Windows 10 Home; BIOS is American Megatrends version 300. f. -- Felmon Davis Verbum sat sapienti. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] Inconsistent font sizes
by Janek Stolarek 18 Jul '20

18 Jul '20

I have a question about configuring font sizes in TDE Control Centre. I would expect that setting a given font size under a given screen resolution will always produce the same rendering result. That however is not the case - see attached screenshots. These were taken on two different machines running a FHD resolution. As you can see font sizes are set to be identical on both system but the results of font rendering are totally different between the systems. I am guessing that this is because the rendering engine is trying to somehow compensate for different physical sizes of the actual screens (15,6" on the laptop vs. 24" on the desktop) but the end result is far from what I want. There's a setting to force a font DPI of either 96 or 120 and the result is that it indeed makes the font on the laptop much much smaller and seemingly consistent with what the desktop shows. I would, however, want things the other way around, i.e. set the desktop to the same rendering results as on the laptop. Any way I can set a DPI different than the predefined options?

[trinity-users] upgrade always wants to throw out my tdmrc
by Felix Miata 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

Is there some configuration option or other method to make apt or zypper or dnf or urpmi not want to discard my tdmrc customizations with each upgrade to a new minor release, so that the question doesn't get asked, and the process wait for a keyboard response? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[trinity-users] Trouble mounting sr1 as user but not sr0 updated info
by BorgLabs - Kate Draven 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

I forgot to mention but are bluray external powered USB drives. Hi People (and the rest of you) Having trouble mounting sr1 as user but not sr0. It's clearly a perm problem but I'm at a loss to figure it out as both have the same perms. When trying to mount from media:/ for example I get: Unable to mount this device. Potential reasons include: Improper device and/or user privilege level Corrupt data on storage device Technical details: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem” on object at path /org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sr1 My user belongs to all the right groups. sr0 works as expected. Any ideas?

The last was a Zenbook Flip of a friend. thank you and William and Nikolaus for help. I have Debian/Trinity installed on a Zenbook UX330 which is why I thought it safe to attempt it on this Zenbook UX433FAC-A5348T but my attempts have failed. the installer craps out and sends me to the commandline. I have tried with Debian Live and netinst, 4Q0S live and Devuan ASCII netinst. I did disable Secure Boot without disastrous consequences, that is, the native Windows Home still boots, etc. I do not want to do too much 'surgery' since it is fresh bought and I can return it if it's not too far from default state. I wanted to boot up Linux, look around and then determine my install strategy. I may be plotting my return strategy instead. not sure how to diagnose. I see an error as follows: 'please fix 'fbdev' driver. fbdev didn't call xf86SetGamma to initialise'. no idea how to fix it. Gerhard, Nikolaus, how do you get '|' on a German keyboard? I can't do a 'dmesg | less' without it. (actually the keyboard is German but I suppose the key setup is American.) f. -- Felmon Davis Verbum sat sapienti. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

[trinity-users] Writing Blu-Ray?
by Thierry de Coulon 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

I am in need of backuping quite a volume of data, so DVD's would feel like old time floppy backup. I was thinking of turning to blu-ray (M-Disc as they advertise long life). Does anyone know if TDE's k3b can write on Blu-ray, or would I have to install KDE's (or rather some Gnome stuff?). Debian Buster here.

[trinity-users] exegnu64 sources list.
by gregm 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Want to see if installimg exegnu64 is a "shortcut" to my typical install method. The sources.list for Devuan is correct, the Trinty sources.list is different than the one listed in the install directions, Trinity website. Can I edit the Trinity sources after install and have a robust sytem? gregm
