To give a sense of how far this goes back . . .

. . . I just scrolled to the first of the 35,155 messages I have archived in my KDE-Users mail directory and found this: [q] Help with install Date: Sun Oct 18 13:41:33 1998 From: "Julia's Mail" <ourhome(a)globalnet.co.uk> To: KDE general mailing list <kde(a)lists.netcentral.net> Reply to: kde(a)lists.netcentral.net I have loaded RedHat 5.1, upgraded it to 5.2 and installed qt-1.40. When I try to install KDE (kdelib) from the RPM files I get a message that qt >= 1.33 is needed by kdelibs-1.0-7rh51, and qt-egce-10x is needed by kdelibs-1.0-7rh51. Did I miss a step? If you can think of a way to fix this I would be grateful. :) Mark -- Send posts to: kde(a)lists.netcentral.net [/q] So these directories have survived a *lot* of upgrades. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

The sound mess, etc.
by dep 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

Greetings, everybody, and happy 2025 even though the start to the year does not seem promising in many places. Digging through issues one by one here. Am using the desktop more after having gotten a TKL (SSK in IBM parlance) Model M from Unicomp. I have a couple of genuine IBM SSKs, but they have become to valuable to use. The Unicomp reissue is if anything better, and I love it. But I digress. I'm running Debian Trixie and TDE-almost-ready (I don't remember what TDE testing is called, but I'm running the not-bleeding-edge testing version, the middle one). I've discovered that sound doesn't work on my machine. I imagine that this comes down to Pipewire, the Wayland of sound. (No, I do not use Wayland. Playing pioneer in Linux was a hoot 25 years ago; now I just want the damn machine to work.) When setting up a couple of Rspberry Pi5s as television sets last year, I got no sound until I nuked Pipewire entirely, which I haven't done here on the desktop yet. KMix seems in order. I have gone everywhere I could find to set the audio to the built-in audio -- the system seems desperate to give me HDMI audio, but I have no HDMI audio. At the moment, I have no audio of any sort, but at least I have the hardware for non-HDMI audio. pulseaudio -v renders this: I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted I: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: This is PulseAudio 17.0 I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Page size is 4096 bytes I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Machine ID is 5319a42264b14252b3e0bc50dadf9032. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Session ID is 4. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using runtime directory /run/user/1000/pulse. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using state directory /home/dep/.pulse. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using modules directory /usr/lib/pulse-17.0+dfsg1/modules. I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode: no E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. When I check the sound system page in KControl, all seems fine. System restarts uneventfully. Everything seems to work except sound coming from the speakers. I'm out of guesses. Advice? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Is Bluetooth free?
by lee892533＠gmail.com 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Yes, the songs are transmitted to your headphones, but that's over a paired Bluetooth connection between the headphone and the phone. And there's no cost to that. You only pay for the data transmitted to your smart device over the phone company's network by way of using the app. https://spacebarcounter.org

Notification popup size
by Darrell Anderson 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

R14.1.2. I am not using kdbusnotification. The default notification daemon is xfce4. In TDE the notification popups are tiny. They look fine when using Xfce4. Any ideas to resolve? Thanks.

No desktop notifications when using TDM
by Darrell Anderson 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

I'm looking for ideas or a check list how TDM might block or ignore desktop notifications. Notifications appear as expected when using a different DM. I am not using the kdbusnotification package. R14.1.2. Thanks.

Volume Control does Nothing?
by CHRIS M 06 Jan '25

06 Jan '25

I use my Alexa speaker, connected to Bluetooth for computer audio. I just noticed that, when I went to adjust the volume, using the volume control in the system tray. the volume never changed... Why is the volume button not working? Thanks, Chris Debian 12 Bookworm ( Base Install, then Installed TDE on top of it) Latest Version of TDE
