Okay, I found it on rpm.bone.net. I presume from your list that there is no problem with having multiple versions of this library installed? Leslie

Problem installing Trinity Desktop on OpenSuSE 42.3

by Leslie Turriff

I decided to switch back from KDE3 to Trinity, but I ran into a problem while attempting the install. It seems that, while KDE3 uses libIexMath-2_1, Trinity wants libIexMath-2_2.

Harris > Web Services > Virginia Commonwealth University > http://www.vcu.edu/ > I do recommend using separate partitions for home. The advantage is, if you need to reinstall the os. You need only reformat / (root). /home is left untouched. If you have a computer with a small amount of ram and/or slower CPU, I recommended a swap partition of no more than 2 gigs. Example: swap (sda1) / (root sda2) /home (sda3) There have been occasions when it became necessary to reinstall the OS (Ex. crackmonkey decided to make "room" by logging in a root and deleting stuff). Having the sep /home saved all of the user data and settings etc. My setup I actually have sep hard drives for things like /home /media /software etc. However, if this is a test machine, I wouldn't bother. No point to it. Kate

Remove session lock?

by Thierry de Coulon

I'm trying to setup a machine to autostart at a given time, do record something and then shutdown. Autostarting works with: echo `date -d 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ' '+%s'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm but this seems to work only if I put the computer in suspend mode (if I shutdown the computer does not come back to life). However, when the computer starts from suspend, the session is locked... and I am not there to unlock it. I've searched TDE's control panel without luck. Is there a way to remove the auto-lock feature? Thierry

Incorrect digital clock time

by D. R. Evans

I'm not sure where to report this: I have three 24-hour TDE clocks in a panel: one on local time; one on London time; and one on UTC. The London and UTC clocks are reading the same time, but I discovered yesterday that in fact London is already on summer time (and has been for nearly a week, I understand), so the London time should be displaying a number one hour higher than UTC.

Window without titlebar?

by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp

Hi all! Is it possible to instruct twin for a certain type of window (in my case: urxvt) to not have a title bar, but just have the window borders? Or maybe for all windows to hide the titlebar? Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

However: TDE is made to work with TDM as display manager. If you use another DM (light DM, GDM, etc... ) you get what you discribe: back to the (non-TDE) login screen. Apart from changing the DM you use I know of no way to prevent this. Regards, Thierry
