pulseaudio issues after installing NVIDIA driver
by Gianluca Interlandi 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear all, Sorry if this may be off topic for TDE. I have a NVIDIA GT 1030 video card. I installed the proprietary driver version 535.146.02. The audio works fine from a fresh boot. However, if I recover from either suspend or hibernate pulseaudio stops working. The TDE sounds still work and mplayer can also play sound. However, firefox and vlc cannot. If I start vlc with a simple movie with sound, it says: Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: Connection refused. I did not have this problem with the opensource nouveau driver. Is there a way to restart pulseaudio? I tried with pulseaudio --kill pulseaudio --start But that didn't make a difference. It seems that alsasound works but not pulseaudio. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. Thanks! Gianluca PS: Also when I click on kmix there are now three choices: "Pulseaudio", "HDA Intel" and "HDA NVidia". Before installing the driver there were only the first two. ----------------------------------------------------- Gianluca Interlandi, PhD gianluca(a)u.washington.edu +1 (206) 685 4435 http://gianluca.today/ Department of Bioengineering University of Washington, Seattle WA U.S.A. -----------------------------------------------------

Multiple monitors and full screen
by Nick Koretsky 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

I got myself a second monitor and got everything setup to my liking with TDE, except one annoying behaviour. When a program goes into "full screen" mode on one monitor (like media player or youtube in web browser) it covers kicker panels (as it should, everything is correct here), but as soon as any window on another monitor gets focus, panels appear on top of that fulls screen window. Setting "Allow other windows to cover panel" fixes this issue, but introduces other undesirable behaviour - maximize now covers panels, and windows snaps to actual edges of the screen, not to panels Is there any way to prevent panels from showing on top of out-of-focus fullscreen window on another monitor or do something like "allow only fullscreen windows to cover panel"? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)

Cannot install trinity-testing because no public key!

But it is nevertheless 'In release", but not to me nor doubtless others. I would like to return as soon as possible to the Trinity fold. Regards, Ken Heard

Hi all! I think it is time to submit some new screenshots for the TDE homepage, what do you think? Here are 3 taken from my T480, dark themed according to the season. Maybe "somebody" could put them on the screenshot page :) BTW: can't we have a screenshots page that shows all screenshots? The srolling version is kind of ok, but a gallery (as before) would be more convenient. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Looney Tune: running on Athlon XP & 1G RAM???
by Felix Miata 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

I have a bunch of Mageia 8 installations, including a few on 32 bits. 8 support just expired, so I've updated most of them for the last time, some to backported 6.1 kernels, others staying on 5.15. My only Athlon XP locks up locally booted to TDM on the 6.1 kernel, but seems fine on 5.15. Booted 6.1 to multi-user.target, and TDE started with startx, seems to be fine, indicating it's only TDM with the 6.1 kernel problem. The only dmesg/journal clues found from TDM and 6.1 seem to be timeout related, and only in the journal. Same PC with Bookworm and 6.1 seem fine too. Any similar observations? Anybody still using a 32bit Athlon with TDE? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

My current stunt is a secure tablet. That is impossible with Apple products but is relatively easy with Google hardware. (In case there is interest, a hot take on the project is here: https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1161.html ) It is amazing the number of applications that reintroduce problems solved a generation ago. There is, for instance, *no* good mobile browser. So I was happy and horrified to install Emacs a few minutes ago. For those of us who are nostalgic, it looks as awful as it did 25 years ago. For those of us who want to get work done, it is in all other respects as awful as it was 25 years ago. I haven't yet found ports of useful Linux applications. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

New MX-Linux with TDE ISO
by Thierry de Coulon 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hello all, I've been using MX-Linux for more than a year and recently decided to play with MX-Snapshot, a tool that let's you create an installation ISO from a running system. So I have installed the latest MX (23.1, based on Debian Bookworm), with kernel 6.5.0, then I added Trinity and started creating ISOs. Installation only succeeds if you use lightdm for the process, but TDM is installed and dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity is (almost) all that is required to get a full TDE based MX-Linux. It seems Mega accepts that I upload an ISO and share it, so if anyone wishes to try, here are the links: Iso file: https://mega.nz/file/1Xt1jIZL#h0VcKZaSH0eSE1INm5NOxiiywWBa1J0T9ZDmHLBFS5Q md5 file: https://mega.nz/file/kWVh0YQb#iWJ3cVkDpXHPS0wENA6knM0AthK66g8u-12zYFVjyak ReadMe file https://mega.nz/file/NfUTjQ5B#iSzIBWYSZ-Xfqn25RFOf2_CYKRbTUn40tJMb_g9VWAc If you do try, I'd like to get a feed back (what worked, what did not). Have a nice day, Thierry
