Hybrid Live Images
by Glen Cunningham 30 Nov '15

30 Nov '15

To the hardworking Devs and ISO-builders, Please, that's pretty please with sugar on top, can we have hybrid .ISOs for the expected new batch of live CDs/DVDs with TDE R14.0.2?? My reasons for asking .... 1. Many modern PCs and most laptop/netbooks do not have an optical drive. 2. I know there are utilities for writing an ISO to a USB-stick but they are not particularly user-friendly. eg. unetbootin is a total PITA. Besides a simple "sudo dd if=path-to-hybrid of=/dev/usb-stick" is trivial and works as expected. 3. Boot and run from a USB-stick is much faster than any CD/DVD so demonstrating to potential new adopters is a better experience. Thanks in antic, Glen

downloading from quickbuild inordinately slow
by Ken Heard 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yesterday I downloaded from ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net the upgrade to TDE 14.0.2 for wheezy. The downloading was ultimately successful, but it required approximately twelve hours to complete. On the other hand all my other downloads, including those from the debian wheezy depositaries, are super fast. I am in Thailand but have a fibre optic connection to the ISP close by and from there by satellite directly to the rest of the world. It would consequently seem that any slowdown is not at my end. Is such a low speed for downloads from quickbuild normal?

Folder size !
by Baron 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hi Guys, I've just noticed a folder that I have restored from a backup only shows a size of 1Mb when I hover the mouse over it. Refreshing the desktop doesn't alter the reported size. However if I look at "Properties" it shows me the correct size of 1.3Gb. Thanks: -- Best Regards: Baron

k3b want's a 800MB CD
by Thierry de Coulon 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hello all, I've run in a problem with k3b. I wanted to try Qt4--Fsarchiver that comes (in one form) as an Ubuntu live CD. The problem is that the image is 880 MB but k3b "sees" it as a CD. It cant't burn it on a 700 MB CD and it does not accept a raw DVD so you're stuck. The workaround for me was to use Brasero that remained from the basic Gnome install, but I wonder what, if anything, we can do to change that behaviour. Qt4-archiver does it's job by the way, and the live CD gives you a GUI environment (Unity of course...). I think I still prefer Image for Linux and the command line however. Thierry

PclinuxOS 64 and 32bit repository
by alistair izzard 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hi I did manage to update to 14.0.2 however I get a lot of file size mismatch errors when I did so (I actually cheated to get it installed by using rpm -Uvh once the files downloaded using apt-get) and a lot of others can't update at all. I hope the list is updated soon as this is a very nice release and is faster and more stable which belies it's .0.1 increase in version Alie

Desktop Icons

Hi When loading the desktop, trinity is centering the desktop icons. Is there a way to keep it from rearranging the icons? Locking the icons in place doesn't prevent the centering. Kate

Webmail alternatives (was Re: [trinity-users] kmail vs gmail problem)
by Robert Peters 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

This is something of a change in topic: Does anyone know of any webmail providers, with less spyware and ads, as alternatives to gmail? How do Hotmail and Yahoo compare? Or even an internet service provider? Formerly I used an ISP account, but it turned out to be blocked in China, where I travelled often. Robert

Backing Up !
by Baron 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hi Guys, Thanks for the help getting this new machine up and running. I backed up all the required bits in the old ".trinity" and simply copied them into the same place on the new machine. Apart from one missing item in "Knode" all the links and passwords were restored perfectly. Great job from the TDE team. I only have one slight dissapointment ! The new quad core AMD is not as fast as the old P4 dual core yet the performance rating suggests that it should be at least twice as fast. Subjective, I know, but ! Thanks again: -- Best Regards: Baron

Backing up !
by Baron 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi Guys, I need to save and transfer all my Kmail, Knode settings and passwords to a new machine running Jessie/TDE desktop. However the machine I need to transfer from is 32 bit and the new one is 64 bit, I don't know if that makes a difference. Which files do I need to copy over ? I've already done a backup of "Home" though some files didn't copy at all but I think that they were things like sockets. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron
