Does TDE have a preference for either alsa or pulseaudio? The last 12.2
system I installed TDE on has no sound currently. It has installed currently
alsa, alsa-oss, alsa-plugins & alsa-utils, but no pulsau*.

Bonjour Alexandre!
I didn't see that you ever got an answer to the above question. The
answer is that it's both. "Mom" is American and "Mum" is British. I
don't know what they use in English Canada.
Bonne année et bonne santé de Cincinnati!

Hi everyone!
Anyone who have tried my LiveCD would have seen that when you click on ''Storage media'' in Dolphin, you have to click on refresh to see the list of the drives you can mount. Also, if I do a ''safely remove'' on a usb key, I have to click on refresh to see the drive as unmounted. Ok, I'll admit that there is more important problems than this in the world, but It would be nice to have a kind of auto-refresh in that window.
Is this problem caused by the underlying changes in Linux (with DBUS, UMOUNT, HAL, ...) or it is just a small problem in Dolphin?
Does the next release of TDE will get better support for that?
Happy New Year!

I am just about to install Debian and TDE on my husband's birthday present
box. He is quite clear that he wants Squeeze. He likes stability and would
rather have a reinstallation in the not too distant future than have
something not called Stable. And he hates change! But not even the prospect
of being left in peace far longer could tempt him into Wheezy.
Moreover, he is adamant that he likes KDE 3 best. (I have given him various
environments to try.)
BUT - I'm the one doing it! If I can present him with a stable box, even if
not a Stable one, he will be happy.
So - how stable is Wheezy with TDE 3.5.14 nightly builds? I get the
impression not quite.
But using Squeeze means opening the box and putting an extra network card in
in order to be able to install it. (Or anything else with a kernel <
2.6.34.)
I just want to be quite sure in my mind that Wheezy won't yet do, before I
start opening boxen.
Thanks .

Hi Alexandre,
I've now got your live CD installed on my machine... I'm quite
impressed though I do seem to have moments of very odd behaviour.
For instance I used "Network Center" to disconnect my wired ethernet
prior to doing some other things. But didn't reconnect before I shut
the machine down. Starting the machine up this evening I discover that
I now have "Dolphin" started up and three instances of "Gkrellm" all on
the same desktop. Most curious !
Things work mostly as I expect. Good work. Thankyou for sharing.

I'm running FF 17.0.1 here -- pushed to me in the Ubuntu updates. I
vaguely remember some chatter about 'failings' in FF 16 in the forums
on Webmaster World -- but I do not remember the exact problems. The
consensus there, tho', was the upgrade to FF 17 cleared all that up.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 with Slavec's Trinity 3.5.11.1 backport
repositories.
For some time now -- since the 'official' release of 3.5.11.1 -- I've
only been seeing Ubuntu updates. There has been no Trinity updates.
I've been meaning to ask here what I should've done to move to the more
'official' Trinity repositories. But, holding a Black Belt in
Procrastination, I have yet to do that.
This morning I found an update announcement.
To wit:

102 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 102MB of archives.
WHAT!!??? Is this copasetic?
Anybody else seeing this?
I haven't seen a "Heads Up" here about a large, impending update.
Maybe there's something screwy within my system and/or my apt
configuration files.... I'll hold off on the update until I hear
back from someone.
Regards,
Jonesy

Hello everyone!
My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster is ready to download!
I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of their repos, it is also not supported by them.
It can be seen as a whole as the much-loved PCLOS 2007, but fully updated and upgraded.
It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD).
Major apps pre-installed (in no special order):
-PCLinuxOS 2012 base system with KDE 4.8 stripped out and replaced by TDE 3.5.13.1
-Amarok
-K3b
-Firefox
-Dolphin
-Konqueror
-LibreOffice
-Quanta plus
-VirtualBox
-SuperKaramba
-Synaptic
-VLC media player
-Kaffeine
-BleachBit
-GParted
-QtCurve theme
-Baghira theme
-The GIMP
-QCad
-Kontact
-Skype
-KMyMoney
-P7Zip
-All PCLinuxOS regular configuration apps
-Localisation Manager, to translate your system
-LibreOffice Manager
System requirement:
A x86 computer with at least 256mb of RAM.
It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too.
It is available in a 4-parts zip archive. (Please note that Ark doesn't support muti-part archives, so use another decompression app.)

It would be very appreciated if someone can host the .iso file in a mirror!
If you like what you see, you can consider giving some money to the Trinity Desktop Environment project!
Give me your comments!
