The problem with that is, the drives are never the same. These are client drive (mostly crackmonkeys) in need of data retrieval. Someone will have an answer. As for ancient computers. Glad to see I'm not the only Dr Frankenstein here. Me first computer was comprised of about 27 different computers I found in the rubbish over a period of months about 30 something years back. Still doing it, I've built some amazing machines. A lot of them even worked without blazing into a fireballs. Kate

You likely did this but just in case, just k3b's perms setup/ 2. Check all related perms (dvdrecord, cdr* etc). 3. See if you can complete a burn as root (if you can, it's a perm problem) 4. Also try burning at half the adverted speed. Because of today's corner cutting standards, disks are not always adverted speeds. Let us know what happens and good luck, Kate

Can Trinity for Jessie be used for Stretch/ASCII?

by Jimmy Johnson

I like the desktop for Jessie, I don't feel like I'm missing anything by using it and I'm experiencing a reproducible bug that's shared by others in ASCII/Stretch and it gets worse using the Plasma Desktop and would like to test the problem with TDE for Jessie. The problem is screen blackouts both audio and video using HDMI on a smart tv, the blackouts come and go, come and go, short blackouts using TDE and long blackouts using Plasma. Thank, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Jessie - TDE Trinity R14.0.4 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda2 Registered Linux User #380263

No desktop after upgrade

by mgb-trinity＠yosemite.net

Upgraded from Jessie + TDE Stable to Stretch + TDE PSB. Upgraded cleanly. On first attempt TDE ran some kind of XDG compliance enforcer. TDM starts and I can log in. TDE spends half a minute or so saying "starting desktop" in the usual way but then I'm left with nothing but the cursr and a blue background. The only anomaly I've found thus far in the logs is (IIRC) an ASSERT of "primary_set" from randr. Any suggestions, tips, or hints would be welcome. Difficult to answer questions as without KMail it is taking me several attempts to type perfect headers into telnet that the list software will accept. I have recent backup as a last resort but am hoping for a way forward. Thanks, --Mike

HP laptop volume keys don't work

by Dan Youngquist

Hi all, HP Probook 6475b, Debian 9 (stretch) (MX 17.1 actually), TDE 14.0.5. The volume buttons will move the onscreen indicator between 0% and 10%, but no farther, and the volume setting is unaffected. The volume buttons work fine in XFCE. Any ideas where to look for the problem? Thanks.
