how to boot uefi from partition
by Felmon Davis 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

greets! yrs ago I thought BIOS was mysterious; I didn't anticipate UEFI! was travelling, my SSD collapsed - dead - and I had to get another and get Linux installed fast. put Kubuntu on; back home added tde. I just resized the partition and added another ext4 with exegnu installed but I installed the loader to the partition, fearing to touch /boot/efi. so there's boot/efi on sda1, kubuntu on sda2 and exegnu on sda3. there's some crap in my efi because of other misadventures but the important thing now is I can boot into kubuntu, what do I do so I can put into exegnu also? is it simply a matter of grub-install? other magic? my ultimate goal is to remove kubuntu and install Windows 7 with exegnu as the default boot. f. -- Felmon Davis "Home, Sweet Home" must surely have been written by a bachelor. -- Samuel Butler

Kmail: fetching GMail over IMAP
by Jan Stolarek 25 Jul '17

25 Jul '17

Dear all, I have recently set up KMail to fetch a GMail account over IMAP protocol. However, I am experiencing an issue that does not happen with any of my other IMAP accounts. Very often when I fetch new email and mark it as read locally, the next time emails are fetched this mail is locally marked as unread, instead of being marked as read on the server. Is any of you experiencing similar issues with GMail? Is this just a matter of setting appropriate options in GMail and, if so, which ones?

Hi-res, small icons ...
by Peter Laws 24 Jul '17

24 Jul '17

Was 5760x1024 (3 "HD" displays). New W/S is 5120x1440 on two displays. LOVE the resolution ... but ... my eyes are old (they saw Armstrong and Aldrin walk on the Moon on live TV when they were younger, for instance) ... so how do I, in one step (I hope!) make everything on my displays bigger? Is that even doable? It is in that Microsoft OS (you select a percentage above or below 100% and everything gets scaled). -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

Nvidia Quadro M2000
by Peter Laws 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

New Dell T5810 with above card. Put Centos 7 on it (after finding the "use a basic video driver" selection under "Troubleshooting"). Got TDE v.newest installed just fine (after reading all steps in the directions - sad considering I'd done this before ...). But how do I adjust the video? The stuff in RandR only seems to want to give me 1024x768 which seems ... skimpy ... on a pair of P2416Ds which are 2560x1440 each (I've not connected the 2nd display yet). What am I missing? Do I need to ditch the Nouveau stuff and go for some sort of proprietary driver? I'm not opposed to either direction, but I really have to have better than 1995's idea of hi-res. :-) Or is there a tool I'm missing? -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

No possibility to create a hard disk icon
by andre_debian＠numericable.fr 21 Jul '17

21 Jul '17

Hello, Since I upgraded my Debian from Jessie to Stretch, I cannot create a hard disk icon. Right click on the desktop, "create a new icon", "to a peripheral", "hard disk" (in /etc/fstab), OK, the icon is created. When I click on this new icon I receive this text : [Desktop Entry] Dev=UUID=f9cafbc8-5b78-4b8a-9e5f-f50697ab33f4 Icon=drive-harddisk-mounted MountPoint=/media/sdb1 ReadOnly=false Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=drive-harddisk What happens ? Thank for a help. André

Keyserver issue?

Recent preliminary stable update
by Philip Ashmore 09 Jul '17

09 Jul '17

Hi there. I checked for updates in Synaptic and saw a slew of preliminary stable updates. It didn't occur to me that running a Trinity update inside of Trinity might be a bad idea. That is, until my desktop disappeared. I did a pstree check to see if the update had finished, which it had, probably because Synaptic was killed. Now there is no record of the updates in Synaptics history and the updates are no longer present - did it succeed? Just a heads up! P.S. should I do anything to try to recover the update history? Do I need to be worried? Regards, Philip Ashmore

R14.0.4 Issues
by Dave 02 Jul '17

02 Jul '17

New hardware and new install. Ryzen 1600, ASUS B350 Prime Plus, BIOS 0803, Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel-4.10.0-041000-lowlatency, and of course TDE R14.0.4 and it does dual boot into Win 10, but I seriously, _seriously_ hate Win10 after using XP Aggravating issues, about Trinity but I keep plugging on. I won't file bug reports , because of all of NEW HARDWARE issues. I'm mainly just looking for confirmation of these problems. 1. Trinity Control Center / Monitor & Display when Brightness and Gamma are changed, It does not save the settings beyond the current session, even when logged in as root. When you log out, the background on the TDM login screen even shows the settings returned to default. (System file permissions somewhere?) 2. When I logout, any active Konsole windows that were open are not saved and all setting are lost. ( again, System file Permissions ?) once in a while, when saving the desktop on logout, an error message will popup but closes so fast ya can't read it. 3. System Guard Network sensors are dead (bug 2398) probably brought on by Systemd changes of hardware naming.( no more eth0, wlan0) 4. Network Icon in system Tray used to show connect speed or wifi signal strength text, gone. (Could be one my settings) One odd one, I had to change permissions on /sys to 775 along with sub directories. I think it had to do with SCP. that was 2 weeks ago. so I'm not real sure of this one. There are a few other issues, but I think they belong to AMD, ASUS and BIOS. (such as Xorg using so much processor power, and not knowing if this setup is using all of the cores) Because of the NEW hardware and this being the first time with R14.0.4 version, I don't know if prior versions of Trinity have these problems. I've been using Trinity since Tim started the project, so I'm not new to this debug fight process. Does trinity and it's apps have log files to look at? I can only find a tdm.log I've loaded Xubuntu on a different partition, but has it's own issues without Trinity loaded. If I get it to run with fewer lockup issues (kernel), I'll try an older version of Trinity after I check Xorg processor usage. Dave
