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

Rolling release distro with Trinity?
by Dan Youngquist 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

Hi all, I'm considering the possibility of changing to a rolling release distro. Ideally, it should be easy to install using an existing separate /home partition, have good multimedia support, and work well with TDE. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm

what can I do, uptodare wheezy, to play video3gpp2950.3g2, which claims its an mpeg4
by Gene Heskett 22 Mar '18

Greetings; One of my boys sent me this video, video3gpp2950.3g2, claims to be an mpeg4, to show what it is he is doing on a new job, which is fixing up the damaged electricals after all these nor-easters. The menu system says noatun, when I click on it in kmail, but its not even opening a work window when noatun is entered in a terminal window or clicked on in the menu. And no errors are returned in that terminal window. tde 14.0.5, up to date debian 32 bit wheezy. Ideas to check? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

my silly project continues
by dep 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

so, i have a full ubuntu-13.04 install on the ancient 2012 nexus tablet. now the only thing left to do is replace the ghastly gnome/unity desktop with something else. might have to do xfce or lxde but first thought i'd try tde if there's a version of it. do we know a repository that has an ARM7 port of whatever tde was around then? -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com

Doctors, modern doctors, are useless and one needs a good environment. Sadly it's harder to find these days. On the bright side, (wee bit brighter) I was told in 1999, I would be dead in 5 years (long story) by 2 doctors. So called experts in the fields. The both dead within 5 years. I'm not happy they died but I can't help but laugh at the irony. Moral of the story is, don't give up. No matter what others tell you. Fight to the end. Kate hopes off her soapbox, places it carefully under her arm... and disappears into the fog.

Anything temporary, dump it. Then go to tdecontrol and set it to clear tmp. Do the same for root, if you use it alot. Kate

I do trim it down the stuff in my home folder once in a while, and back up files to external drives. At least 6 gb of that is 15 years or more of emails. And then there are some duplicates, where I copy my mozilla or other folders as a precaution before I attempt something both daring and stupid.

It's very useful. Now, if only doctors would hand out info like this. I know, asking too much. Thank you again, Kate
