Greetings all;
I went to town this afternoon an bought another HD to replace the one
that went read-only about 6 weeks back, an event that started this whole
dog & pony show.
Got it home, had some din-din, and came in here to install it, where it
is a 2T Toshiba sata6 drive. Pulled it out of the sack, reached for
pocket knife to cut box seal. Already cut...
Pull out foam tray, static bag has alo been ripped open. Practice 15
minute non-repeating profanity explosion, but bag still open. So, find
out what I have, plug it into the sdb slot in the cage & boot up again.
Issue smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sdb. Smartctl not found. Synaptic says
smartmontools not installed, and I'd swear it was. Install again.
Drive has about 90 hours on it, with 34 spinups, so by now its obvious
somebody had it out & could not make it work & returned it. So. still
curious as to what the heck I have, its now doing a -t=long and won't be
done for a couple hours.
But I now have no sound, and the usual culprits say it is not muted.
I've not had to battle with sound in 3 or 4 years, so ATM I have no clue
where to start.
So use my fingers and perhaps aplay or alias to see where its broken.
And attempt to do something with it in TCC, results on the save progress
bar repeating infinitely till a ctl+c is issued.
So, whats next? One could say that with no sound, I am all ears. :)
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

On my husband's computer the Google Chrome window opens behind the KMail
window when a hyperlink is clicked. My husband finds this very annoying. Is
there anything I can do to make the Chrome window open in front of the KMail
window when a hyperlink is clicked?
Wheezy, TDE 3.5.13.2, KMail 1.9.10, Google-Chrome 41.0.2272.89
I have googled, but apparently there used to be a bug where Chrome insisted on
staying on top, and that was almost all I could find. They seem to have
over-compensated. I did find one that was what I wanted, I think, but it was
for Ubuntu and in Ubuntu-speak and I couldn't follow it. DE specific?
Thanks.

I am intending to upgrade to TDE 14 on Wheezy, and then upgrade Wheezy to
Jessie when the dust has settled and I have had a bit of fun running 14 on
Wheezy..
Is this the best source, with jessie changed to wheezy? (I like Slávek's
repositories and keeping up with patches.)
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb jessie deps-r14 main-r14
I can't upgrade to Jessie first, because 10.5.13.2 is not available for
Jessie.
Thanks,
Lisi
Greetings;
I have been asked to crosscheck some address decoding on a proposed PDB
design, and I have been useing the binary display of kcalc to do that
sort of thing for a decade or more.
Unfortunately, TDE has excised that display capability from kcalc.
So, is there a replacement package that will do that? If not, can it be
put back into kcalc?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

François,
Thanks again! I did edit the config file and this time all went well.
I now have R14 on PCLinuxOS! (Just in case Alexandre decides not to go with
R14. :-)
No email or other yet on that partition, but I'll set that up soon.
Many thanks,
Andy

Ooops! Silly me, apt-get followed the redirection to find the package list. I
guess; I know so little about this. It seems to me that it follows the path
at least as far as the package list but then does not go far enough to find
the packages. Maybe.
I'll look into it some more.

In the KDE3 Konqueror Tools menu there was an Archive Web Page tool
(that creates a .war containing the html, images, etc.). It's
referenced in the related TDE package description, but it's not in my
TDE Koqueror Tools menu. Is there something I need to do to enable it?
On a somewhat related topic (Konqueror and archives), .zip files in
Konqueror have a right click Compress menu instead of an Extract menu.
I am bringing up 2 brand spanking new desktops PCs with Ubuntu 14.04.2
and TDE 14.0.0 -- using the live CD from the Trinity web site.
jonesy@nix6: $ display /opt/trinity/share/apps/amarok/images/amarok_rocks.jpg
display.im6: color is not known to server `FOREGROUND': No such file or
directory @ error/xwindow.c/XGetPixelPacket/3064.
jonesy@nix6: $
A web search on "display.im6: color is not known to server" pulls
up _only_ two references to the error message, and one of them
is :
From: Paul Cartwright <pbcartwright@...>
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:54:28 -0500
Subject: Imagemagick error
...at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::5517 (!!!) which
describes _my_ problem exactly. That was 1 1/2 years ago.
Only I do not see that he ever got a reply, nor do I see any fix or
work-around for the problem.
If I shorten up the search for just "color is not known to server", I
see a lot more hits for what seems to be the same problem. But, still,
I see no fixes or work-arounds (yet).
I use `display` A LOT in desktop objects and I really need this fixed or
circumvented.
I can't believe I'm the only one in the Trinity group to have this
problem.
Thank you,
Jonesy

Greetings all;
This is the clock shown in the upper right corner of the message window.
I have never had kmail display a clock before until installing TDE R14.
Or is it? It was showing 0.08 when I sat down a minute ago, but the
system time for the rest of the clocks was 2:08. But I just pulled this
composer window down so I could see it again, and now its correct.
Both are now showing 2:12
Was I seeing things?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
