rpi: cannot mount flashdrive
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi all! I just ran into an interesting problem on rasperrypi: I cannot mount any flashdrive using TDE. udisks2 is installed, my user in group "disk". I get: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127" Does anybody know what "Launch helper" this refers to and/or what I can do to solve this?

Konqueror (file manager, su mode) question.
by Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi! :-) I'm using the latest TDE v (14.0.10) on Devuan stable (Beowulf) x64. Konqueror (file manager) in normal mode, works flawlessly. My problem is when I'm choosing (from menu or from konsole), to start it in admin (su, root) mode. it works, with one exception: When going to "Storage" (system:/media), it throws a couple of error messages and displays a blank (empty) page. These messages are: 1) "The TDE mediamanager is not running.". and 2) "During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify. Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output? If you choose to disable aRts output now, you can re-enable it later or select an alternate sound player in the System Notifications control panel.", with the options: "Try Again" and "Disable aRts output". There is actually a workaround: Mount the desired partition with Konqueror in normal mode and then point Konqueror in admin mode to /media/my_username/ and go to the already mounted partition. Any hints? Am I missing something??? :-) G.

Update-notifier applet
by midi-pascal 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi all, Since the last TDE stable upgrade (many months ago), the update-notifier applet is not available anymore. Is there a good reason to have it removed from TDE or did it fell in a crack? It was useful to know if some updates are available in a simple way. I am missing this small and efficient little applet. Or is it part of a package I missed? Thanks for maintaining and enhancing Trinity, the best desktop ever, Pascal Ubuntu 18-04 LTS installed from the TDE live dvd image. Trinity R14.0.10

Apologies. I mistakenly sent this orginally to Midi instead of to the list.

You could check your /var/log/apt/... which usually goes back a year to see if you can figure out which package got uninstalled during the updgrade. My guess would be package-update-indicator which is from Gnome but works with other desktops. --Mike

TDE 14.1: subpixel hintig greyed out ?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hi all! I just found that cannot adjust the subpixel hinting in the antialiasing settings (fonts) any more. It's always greyed out :( Anybody has seen this, too, and maybe any idea what I can do to solve this?

ksmserver crashes on logout
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 27 Aug '21

27 Aug '21

Hi all! Just in case somebody runs into the same issue: When you configure TDE so that - it shuts down the computer when you log out - should not show the logout dialog chances are ksmserver segfaults on logout instead of shutting the computer down. If it happens to you check that in .trinity/share/config/ksmserverrc these two enries are set to "false": [Logout] doFancyLogout=false showLogoutStatusDlg=false Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

problem with sound for bullseye upgrade on amd64: must be root for sound to work on my machine
by James D Freels 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hello, I am a long-time debian and TDE user, and just recently upgraded my buster amd64 machine to bullseye. As part of this upgrade, I also switch from stable builds to the preliminary stable builds of TDE. For example, tdm-trinity is versioned to read this: 4:14.0.11~pre26-0debian11.0.0+7 . Essentially everything works as expected so far. However, one very nagging problem I currently have is that my sound does not work unless I am rooted. For example, if I issue the command aplay bark.au where bark.au is a snippet sound file of a dog barking, it fails. However, if I issue the command sudo aplay bark.au it works fine. Similar sound playing occurs with any sound-playing app. For example mpg123, vlc, etc., all require a sudo or be logged in as root to work. I have looked all around the WWW to try to find a solution to this problem. The most common solution is to make sure that user ids are in the audio group in the /etc/group configuration file. Of course, I have that, and have confirmed it. This is not a brand new installation after all, but an upgrade. Other common remedies I have tried are to fiddle with the pavucontrol and alsamixer settings. My sound card does not show up in the pavucontrol (pulse doesn't find my sound card), but DOES show up in the alsamixer. I have also looked at the debian sound wiki, and other sources to try to fix this problem. Then, I remembered that I often used this form to learn about debian way back in the days when I first started using debian about 1994 or so. Perhaps I can get some expert help. Maybe a source I can go down a list of troubleshoot to nail this one down. It is obviously a permissions issue (I also looked at device permissions, etc.). I am not sure if this is a debian/11/bullseye problem of a TDE problem, so I have cross-posted this help request to the debian-user mailing list as well (without the TDE information since it is not supported there). Just a bit puzzled and frustrated. P.S. BTW, my sound card is a C-Media, Xonor DG with chip set CMI8788 and uses the oxygen HD audio driver. lspci -v output corresponding: 05:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. CMI8786 (Xonar DG) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22, NUMA node 0 I/O ports at e800 [size=256] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: snd_oxygen Kernel modules: snd_oxygen Nothing has changed with the hardware, and I know the setup works. This seems to be a permissions/software issue. -- James D. Freels, Ph.D., P.E. freelsjd(a)gmail.com 865-457-6742 (landline) 865-919-0320 (cell)

Installing TDE on a KDE system.
by Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi! :-) I installed lately at one of my systems, a fresh Devuan installation with KDE (stable ver. Beowulf, x64, fully updated). Then I tried installing the latest TDE (the official way). At my 1st try (after installing and updating the GPG DEB package), I tried (via Synaptic), installing the tdebase-trinity package, but Synaptic refused and aborted, indicating broken packages and dependencies. OK. I closed it and opened Konsole -> went root (su -) and I tried apt (apt install tdebase-trinity). This time TDE installed properly, but KDE installation was removed altogether (with the exception of some packages (like SDDM)). I'm perfectly good with it, and I already (after backing it up), formatted and reinstalled Devuan without any desktop this time and I installed TDE on it. Just out of curiosity, is it possible to install TDE alongside with KDE? TIA! :-) Giorgos.
