Greetings all;
I had to reboot after 19+ days of uptime yesterdat, dinking around with a
new hard drive that wasn't quite new.
Anyway, since then I have only had the new mail beep from mail as
entertainment, all web video is silent movies, and even Kscd is muted as
in the volume control is greyed out.
This has all worked without a trace of pulse even being installed.
Here is my SWAG on it. This motherboard has 2 snd-hda-intel driven
systems thru the MCP55 chipset on this M2N-SLI Deluxe asus board.
My video card, is an eVga whose hdmi audio is not even bonded out, so
while it signs in when an lcpci -vv is exec'd, the only noise its ever
made is from the GeForce4 8400 GS's cooling fan, which is typically a
bearing rattling annoyance. Its an eVga, what can I say, you buy
aftermarket fans in 3 packs for them, and its on its 2nd of the 3 now.
But I think somehow that the snd-hda-intel driver has linked itself to
the no output stuff on this video card.
Since the same snd-hda-intel driver runs both, how can I blacklist the
worthless one? Can I edit something in udev.d to cause the product
number 1302 to be ignored? That might be the ultimate hammer to drive
tis nail it seems.
Comments, audio guru's?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hello everybody,
I've just seen that the German magazine EasyLinux will publish a review of
Trinity in its second 2015 issue (they say on 17.04.2015).
http://www.easylinux.de/ for those who can read German. I'll try to get it.

Hello developers,
can someone explain, why aptitude will remove all (R14-) trinity packages from
a jessie installation, when I would install the g++ compiler?
What shall I do i.e. reinstall trinity after g++?
Many thanks for your suggestions.
Rolf
I recall I had a heck of a time in the past with the older kde, in
keeping the monitors/screensaver set so it might show a few minutes of
the screensaver of choice, and to powerdown the monitor after a few
minutes of screen saver. But it can't remember those settings more than
a week or so, so I just put a couple entries in my crontab:
*/1 * * * * * xset +dpms
*/1 * * * * * xset dpms 300 0 600
To see if refreshing its memory hourly will effect a fix.
But it sure would be nice if we didn't have to overpower it like that to
keep it working.
In TDE control center, its set 5,0,10 but that seems not to affect it,
when it has failed the pheripherals/display/screensaver and display
power management are all zeroed out or the checkboxes cleared.
It appears is as if a zmalloc has gone astray?
Under appearance/screensaver its set to start a slide show after 4
minutes. The memory of whatever it uses for the "elevator music for the
eyeball" also seems transient, it switches to either a blank screen or
some glx thing that burns up the cpu, again at random intervals that do
not seem to correlate with the dpms settings failures.
Info, bug action, your pick. ;-)

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.
Lisi
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
