Strange clicking noise from my laptop hard drive
by Philip Ashmore 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hi there. I managed to record it using my laptops built-in microphone. To those who would prefer a description: It starts fast and slows down. I opened the file with Audacity and determined the intervals to be 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 10, 15 seconds, then it repeats. It sounds like some kind of protocol negotiation algorithm that requires a disk sync when the polling time doubles. Here's a link for your listening pleasure: https://www.dropbox.com/s/apdr1o056tam5ie/click.wav?dl=0 I'm hoping it's some cron job, or DropBox, Trinity Desktop, wifi, smart disk status monitoring, nVidia, Intel, ... not a virus trying to phone home. I'm really hoping that someone reading this will go "oh that thing" and know what it is instantly. Curiously it doesn't happen every day. Regards, Philip Ashmore

What is your default Desktop manager? Nautilus being the default file manager for gdm, I could imagine a link. I've seen Gnome 3 bloquing TDE in some distributions. Maybe there is something like that with Ubuntu? As I don't run Ubuntu and don't have nautilus installed I never saw this behaviour. Thierry

in addition to what looks like the unity screen... the Kicker panel is still there with the proper apps present and/or running and all icons respond properly. I remember this happening before, and I ended up deleting the .trinity directory, losing all my settings,email etc. got to be an easy way. Dave

desktop backdround
by dave 30 Apr '17

All of a sudden one of my desktops changed to what looks like the Unity display. Right click on desktop only shows new folder and organize by name.If I add a desktop it switches to new desktop, while the other desktop reverts back to TDE. If I delete the new desktop , the (unity) desktop goes back to prior DT. I can't seem to make it permanently gone. Dave

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, Just a quick reminder that our yearly fundraiser is under way.
