tmix - replacement for kmix for pulseaudio.
by Calvin Morrison 18 May '26

18 May '26

hi guys, please see this repo and give feedback if you cane it is a pulseaudio based mixer for TDE. it's similar to kmix but not identical. It's similar to pavucontrol-qt but not identical. If you can build it, let me know, if you cannot build it, let me know if you like it... let me know! maybe it could go upstream at some point into tdemultimedia, it would take work, translations, a help guide, probably minimally also an ALSA backend as well. https://git.ceux.org/tmix.git/ thank you all

[François] Mageia 10 TDM puts 2 out of 3 displays to sleep
by Felix Miata 10 May '26

10 May '26

Without GreeterScreen= in tdmrc set to the correct screen, the login window doesn't appear, only the un-asleep screen displays anything, which is nothing but blue if incorrectly set. Correctly set, login is possible, upon which the other two displays work as expected. # inxi -GSaz --za --hostname System: Host: ab560 Kernel: 6.18.28-desktop-1.mga10 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 15.2.0 clocksource: tsc avail: hpet,acpi_pm parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=<filter> noresume audit=0 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 consoleblank=0 preempt=full mitigations=off Desktop: TDE (Trinity) v: R14.1.6 tk: Qt v: 3.5.0 wm: Twin v: 3.0 with: kicker tools: avail: xlock vt: 7 dm: 1: TDM 2: XDM Distro: Mageia 10 Graphics: Device-1: Intel RocketLake-S GT1 [UHD Graphics 730] vendor: ASUSTeK driver: i915 v: kernel alternate: xe arch: Xe process: Intel 10nm built: 2020-21 ports: active: DP-1,HDMI-A-1,HDMI-A-2 empty: HDMI-A-3 bus-ID: 00:02.0 chip-ID: 8086:4c8b class-ID: 0300 Display: x11 server: X.org v: 1.21.1.22 compositor: Twin v: 3.0 driver: X: loaded: modesetting unloaded: vesa alternate: fbdev dri: iris gpu: i915 display-ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 3600x2640 s-dpi: 120 s-size: 762x558mm (30.00x21.97") s-diag: 944mm (37.18") Monitor-1: DP-1 pos: primary,bottom-l model: Acer K272HUL serial: <filter> built: 2018 res: mode: 2560x1440 hz: 60 scale: 100% (1) dpi: 109 gamma: 1.2 size: 598x336mm (23.54x13.23") diag: 686mm (27") ratio: 16:9 modes: max: 2560x1440 min: 720x400 Monitor-2: HDMI-A-1 mapped: HDMI-1 pos: top-left model: NEC EA243WM serial: <filter> built: 2011 res: mode: 1920x1200 hz: 60 scale: 100% (1) dpi: 94 gamma: 1.2 size: 519x324mm (20.43x12.76") diag: 612mm (24.1") ratio: 16:10 modes: max: 1920x1200 min: 640x480 Monitor-3: HDMI-A-2 mapped: HDMI-2 pos: top-right model: Dell P2213 serial: <filter> built: 2013 res: mode: 1680x1050 hz: 60 scale: 100% (1) dpi: 90 gamma: 1.2 size: 473x296mm (18.62x11.65") diag: 558mm (22") ratio: 16:10 modes: max: 1680x1050 min: 720x400 API: EGL v: 1.5 hw: drv: intel iris platforms: device: 0 drv: iris device: 1 drv: swrast gbm: drv: iris surfaceless: drv: iris x11: drv: iris inactive: wayland API: OpenGL v: 4.6 compat-v: 4.5 vendor: intel mesa v: 26.0.6 glx-v: 1.4 direct-render: yes renderer: Mesa Intel Graphics (RKL GT1) device-ID: 8086:4c8b memory: 30.19 GiB unified: yes API: Vulkan v: 1.4.335 layers: 6 device: 0 type: integrated-gpu name: Intel Graphics (RKL GT1) driver: mesa intel v: 26.0.6 device-ID: 8086:4c8b surfaces: N/A device: 1 type: cpu name: llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.8 256 bits) driver: mesa llvmpipe v: 26.0.6 (LLVM 20.1.8) device-ID: 10005:0000 surfaces: N/A Info: Tools: api: clinfo, eglinfo, glxinfo, vulkaninfo gpu: gputop, intel_gpu_top, lsgpu x11: xdriinfo, xdpyinfo, xprop, xrandr # The HDMI-connected display is the only one not put to sleep for active TDM. /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d contains nothing applicable to display configuration.

Heads up on vim-9.2.0388 -> 9.2.0437 changes to term.c causing issues for konsole
by David C Rankin 08 May '26

08 May '26

TDE Devs, All, There is an issue I've run into with Arch and the update of vim-9.2.0388 to vim-9.2.0437 that causes control codes "pp" to be shown in the vim window on the remote Arch host when accessed over ssh from my openSUSE KDE3/konsole (and from the Arch mailing list there are other terminals affected as well, such as one terminal on the RaspberryPi 5) The terminal control codes provided by my terminal (as returned by v:termresponse in vim) are ^[[>0;115;0c which is also the same provided by the RaspberryPi 5 terminal reported on the Arch list. There were no issue with vim up through vim-9.2.0388, but whatever the changes between that version and the new vim-9.2.0437 have caused the vim builtin xterm type to no longer play nicely with some older terminals. If TDE hasn't patched or updated the konsole code in tdebase, then I would expect TDE/konsole to be impacted as well, thus this heads up so it can be looked into. If somebody running TDE also has an Arch box around, they can test/confirm this by: 1 open konsole, 2 ssh into the Arch box, 3 vim foo If you see "pp" overlayed at the cursor position (first chars of a new file, or where the cursor is placed in an existing file), then TDE is impacted by this as well. 4 while still in vim, you can confirm the terminal response code by typing: 5 :echo v:termresponse (it will be shown bottom left over the command line) We have a issue open with upstream, https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/20140 and we are working through patch ideas, etc. So the purpose of this post was to provide a heads-up to TDE, and, of course, if you have a silver-bullet that solves this, I'll take that too :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
