The output is a little different, but the results are just as
disappointing. :-(
I particularly find the statement, "Please exercise appropriate action."
frustrating.

greets, everybody . . .
i'm trying to set up dnscrypt on my desktop and laptop machines, both of which are running tde atop ubuntu 14.04. (i know. one of these days, when i have a week, i'll move 'em both over to full debian.) the tutorials i've found on this make assumptions as to desktop utilities that i think are not tde. to wit:
Open the session and startup manager and add the following to the Application Autostart Menu.
sudo dnscrypt-proxy -R opendns -a 127.0.0.2:53 -u dnscrypt
what in tde corresponds to the "session and startup manager"?
there's a gui for dnscript-proxy, but there's no binary for it and i don't have time to sort out dependencies (up to and including QT5), and given the changes that have come to linux since last i much tinkered with its innards i have no idea where one can even insert dna nameservers anymore -- the old places now all get overwritten at boot. grr.
now an actual on-topic question: i remember when i upgraded to 14.04 in late 2016, i was told that there were problems getting tde to work happily atop 16.04. is this still the case, or am i safe un upgrading to a newer ubuntu while keeping tde?
thanks!

Hello to everybody,
a few days ago, I updated the Slax with Trinity to version 9.4. I hope
that I have also solved the problem with persistent changes. The problem
was probably in the missing 'changes' folder, which is empty at the
beginning. Thank you for your feedback.
Cheers

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?

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.

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?
