Greetings everybody; Everytime I have to reboot, but often, or more recently because of tdm updates, restart tdm, I have had to find a shell and execute "alsactl restore" before I have sound. Is there a file that runs after my login, far enough after it, that I could add that command to instead of figureing out "hey its awful quiet in here" some time after the restart and reminds me to go and execute it? If I could figure out where in the restart the sound gets muted, I'd fix it there. This has been a nearly 2 year long problem for me. Thanks everybody.

Hep me! ksmserver crash

by Peter Laws

This started after an update Friday. Get the login screen, system accepts password, progress bar shows for about 1/3 of the way, then get the dialog box about ksmserver crashing. I've done both "report crash" and "create backtrace" both of which cycle me back to the login screen. I pull packages from here: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14 Stuff I don't understand from the logs: Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.008000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 0.920132] ioapic: probe of 0000:00:05.4 failed with error -22 Feb 9 11:01:47 toto3 kernel: [ 4.348917] fglrx: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel Feb 9 11:01:48 toto3 failsafe: Failsafe of 120 seconds reached.

What is the correct sources.list line for staying current with all tde r14 updates? I did just now get 11 updates for the box on the mill, but none for this box, which should have similar TDE installs. But I've been looking at a red star for the update-manager status just to the left of the time-date display for weeks, just on this machine, but if I "sudo apt-get update", no errors are reported. But I just checked in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and found several enpty or all commented out files and nuked them and the red star is gone. Puzzling at best, like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Plausible explanation for a buglet? DIIK. Thanks folks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Huge tde update yesterday, python stuff now fails

by Gene Heskett

Greetings guru's; This did work before the 51 tde updates yesterday: gene@GO704:~/linuxcnc$ python python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py", line 278, in <module> main() File "python_opencv_camera_example_with_gui.py", line 222, in main root = Tk() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1712, in __init__ self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use) _tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND" This has been a dog & pony show I have been to before, several times, and each time IIRC the fix was different. Historically, if by playing the 10,000 monkeys with typewriters scene long enough that I manage to fix 'BACKGROUND' the FOREGROUND will be the next excuse used to exit a formerly working script. Does anyone have a clue what to fix this time? Thanks everybody. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Who are using 3.5.13.x series?

by Slávek Banko

Hi to all, I know that there are still many users who use TDE 3.5.13.x series. Please, you use official 3.5.13.2 or my older PPA 'axis'? For those who use PPA 'axis': You've probably noticed that some time ago there were several updates. I would therefore ask you whether you can change the address in the sources.list from original ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net to mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org. Benefits will be on both sides. Because on mirror.ppa are packages for most of distributions in the local cache, you'll have faster downloads. And thanks to this will be less load of line to the master server. Cheers -- Slávek

TDE and Wayland

by Thierry de Coulon

I've just been reading about Wayland supposed to be used in distributions this year. While I guess X will still be provided for some time, I was wondering how Wayland would impact TDE? Thierry

kaddressbook no resource file available kmail 1.9.10 trinity R14.0.3 on debian Jessie

by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com

had this system running for a while now, but somehow i never used kaddressbook. I thought i had it configured correctly, but, since it doesn't work, i done something wrong. The standard error is " no resource available". googling for it helps very little and everything reverts to kde4, even the "about kmail" help tag link!!!! any pointers to properly configuring kaddressbook would be appreciated. thanks in advance, d.

Still keyboard trouble

by Thierry de Coulon

Hello all, I allready mentionned this problem, but it seems to get worse recently: I use Keyboard Layouts (enabled through Trinity Control Center). I set "German (Switzerland) ch, fr variant, as first Layout, with English (US) as second option. This works fine, except that I often loose the function of the "Alt Gr" key (for those who only know the US keyboard, Alt Gr is necessary to access a bunch of characters we use in non-English languages. This in inconvenient as it means I loose {} and [], but as I don-t program a lot... However we need the Alt Gr key also to get @, and it so happens that I use it in passwords that usually have to be typed in blind. I know where to find it on the US keyboard, but I have no way to know if my Alt Gr works or not before a password fails. This is independent from distribution (I had hoped that switching to Jessie and 14.0.2 would help, but not). What I don't know is what is causing the problem. The rest of the keyboard layout continues to work, only Alt Gr is gone. So far only loging out and in cures the problem. Anyone has a clue to what causes this? Thierry

Kate and Konsole settings lost

by Philip Ashmore

Hi there. After starting my laptop I notices that my two Kate instances had forgot the session they had open. Also, Konsole forgot its open tabs and the settings/schema/paper background. These were easy enough to restore but in case it's a symptom of a more serious problem I thought I'd run it by the list. Also, shutdown didn't complete so I had to hard-reset the laptop with the press-the-power-button-down-for-5-seconds trick, not nice! Regards, Philip Ashmore
