THANKS! (and an error compiling amarok)
by Diego M. Vadell 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi ! First of all, thanks for making trinity. I works very well, and finally I found the lightweight DE that I was looking for. So I started compiling apps, and started with amarok. I downloaded from trinity's server (meaning, not from git). Then cmake . and make. It gives me this error when it tries to compile libamarok.so.0.0.0: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/5.3.0/../../../../x86_64-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -ltagmp4-static collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status amarok/src/CMakeFiles/amarok-shared.dir/build.make:3012: recipe for target 'amarok/src/libamarok.so.0.0.0' failed make[2]: *** [amarok/src/libamarok.so.0.0.0] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/kubuntu/home/dvadell/tde3/build/amarok' CMakeFiles/Makefile2:199: recipe for target 'amarok/src/CMakeFiles/amarok-shared.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [amarok/src/CMakeFiles/amarok-shared.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/kubuntu/home/dvadell/tde3/build/amarok' Makefile:127: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 So I unistalled KDE4 (I didn't need it now :) ) but the error remains. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. Again, thanks for trinity. Cheers, -- Diego.

curiosity v cat
by Gene Heskett 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Greetings all; I have been forced to open a terminal and do an "alsactl restore" after every login despite scattering such around in the rc.local and Xsession files. A misscue with htop killed tdm yesterday, and when it had reinited to the login screen, and I had restarted everything that killed, I had no sound, indicating the sound killer was maybe part of the stuff that runs as root before I login. So, since its working ATM, I just did a "sudo alsactl store", which if its root related, should fix it. We'll see on the next x restart, whether its a reboot or ?? And when I have had to restart, if I then have sound, I'll report back. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Hopeing I can find a regex expert here
by Gene Heskett 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Greetings; I use mailfilter as a prefilter in front of fetchmail to nuke some spam while its still on the server. But its missing hits on what I suspect is the From: or Return-Path: strings that have quotation marks in the string because the string is being spec'd by being surrounded by "show this name" bs. I've added the character < as part of the string its to search for, so the search string now looks like "From:.*<*\.unwanted-tld". Does this stand that famous snow balls chance in hell of working well with or without a quoted "some funkity name" in front of the real url with the <> around it? I just love the lack of documentation on how this string comparison stuff works as shown by the man pages for grep and regex. All sorts of control options are well covered, but figureing out how to write a search expression must be one of the worlds better guarded secrets. So if someone could show me, or give a url that actually has the full docs, I'd be greatfull. Thanks.

Why do I see the entire contents of my home dir on desktop?
by A M 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello, I've migrated to Centos 7 / TDE 14.0.3. Everything went fine, apart from one point: I am no longer seeing on the screen only the contents of my $HOME/Desktop folder like it was before, but rather the contents of my entire home directory. Apparently there should be some configuration option which would allow to define $HOME/Desktop as a starting point in place of $HOME, but so far I was unable to locate it. What should I change? Thanks a lot ahead for any hint! Andy.

After that we will arrange some sort of vote to choose 3 or 4 possible candidates (including the "keep the current logo possibility") and at the end we will see what Tim thinks about it. Thanks everyone for his/her contribution. Cheers Michele PS: let's *NOT* start another war-like email chain on this again :-) Just submit yuor proposal ;-)

Kaffeine and HDTV
by Thierry de Coulon 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello all, Basically, this is possibly somewhat off topic, but as it's still TDE related, maybe someone allready found a solution: I've been using Kaffeine for years to watch DVB-S. Mor recently, I got a USB DVB-C receiver (Sundtek) and it works relatively well (although I got freezes). My problem is that my Cable operator recently warned us that some programs would stop being proposed in their non-HD version. Kaffeine, however, does not work with the HD versions (at least I can't set them up). Eye TV (on a Mac Mini) works (I use that as a recorder under my TV set). Am I missing some settings on Kaffeine (0.8.8)? Thierry

Multimedia audio keys assignment
by deloptes 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hi all, since I have installed pulseaudio I have a problem with the multimedia audio keys. Where are they configured? In particular when I press mute and unmute in KMix both pulse and "HDA Intel PCH" Master volume get messed and unmute does not toggle both controls, so that I have to open KMix and unmute manually. Any ideas? thanks in advance PS: I recall I have played with multimedia keys perhaps 6y. ago. No idea where it was - just vague memory that it was about remote control and my first tv card/stick.

Replacing the default Konsole with Byobu in desktop icons
by Joseph Thames 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

After more than 10 years of launching Konsole from a desktop icon which uses a Promptread routine for interactive Perl menus which writes a prompt to STDOUT and then reads the user's response from STDIN, this routine is now failing in an infinite write loop. I tried using the other Perl approaches, Readline, and Term::ReadKey with the same result, even autoflushing the output buffer after each prompt write. Nothing works I am now getting this error while pausing in the Perl debugger before the prompt, indicating that Konsole is somehow infected: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 20 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x7a00187 Apparently this shows up from time to time, but nobody has resolved it. If I use other terminal emulators, the problem goes away. In particular, Byobu replaces the look and feal of Konsole, so I would like to use it. Is there a way to change settings in the icon creation dialog with its terminal option to make byobu the terminal default instead of Konsole?
