How to add "tcam" camera application to TDE?
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 05 Nov '26

05 Nov '26

Hi all! I'd like to add "tcam" to the TDE repository, What would be the preferred procedure for that? What is "tcam": in short, "guvcviewer" for TDE, but with working v4l2loopback support for input and output. It has the ability to modify a video stream (crop, color adjustment, overlay ...) comming from a camera or a v4l2loopback device, modify it and send it to another v4l2loopback device. Next release will have an import function for obs scenes, obs-backgroundremoval functionality, face tracking with zooming (your face stays in the center of the frame, zoomed to apropximatly the same size), and some color adjustment filters for forground and background. The binary is here, in case somebody wants to test: https://www.klepp.cn/darkness/devuan/pool/main/tcam_2026.11.03_amd64.deb Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

New release: Darkness - version 2026-11-04 - 64 bit and 32 bit
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Nov '26

04 Nov '26

Hi all! I just uploaded the latest relase of "darkness" :) It comes with my new application "tcam" - a native TDE camera application that allows you to change camera settings, resolution, fps, brightness ... and you can add an overlay image, crop the image and feed the video back into a v4l2loopback device that can be used as video source for e.g. meet.jit.si (background removal like obs-backgroundremoval comes in the next version, as does face tracking, filters etc.) Full release notes: Whats in it: - TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT - tcam - new TDE camera application with v4l2loopback support - Xlibre 25.2.2 - new background images - kernel 7.2.15 - all specific tweaks are packaged in darkness-tweaks - rpi crossinstaller - i386 iso with kernel 7.2.15 for those who love old hardware Notes: - Persistent partition at 3GB when booting the ISO from a USB stick: As long as any future ISO written to the stick is smaller than 3GB the data on the partition is unaffected. - Virtualbox/VMware guest graphics: "modesetting" is used for "VirtualBox GPU". - Laguage: TDE language packs of unused languages are removed when booting from iso, so that translations of missing texts come from english and not from any other language pack - deactivate 3D acceleration on Lenovo X61 / Intel GM965/GL960 - dark theme for OpenSCAD - i386 iso comes without EFI support Download: amd64: - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-20261104.iso - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-20261104.iso.sha256 i386: - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-i386-20261104.iso - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-i386-20261104.iso.sha256 Please feel free to download and try .. and post your experience :) Project homepage: https://www.klepp.cn/darkness/iso/readme.html Announcement thread: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=66393#p66393 -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

[François] relnotes don't match repos
by Felix Miata 04 Nov '26

04 Nov '26

According to relnotes, F42 was dropped, not F43, which is missing from rpm repos, while still supported by Fedora. Multiple other repo dirs on http://archive.trinitydesktop.net/trinity/rpm/ lead to 404 errors as well. The abbreviated openSUSE dirs there and on the wiki's installation instruction page seem peculiarly named. ostw (Tumbleweed) and osl160 (Leap) or os160 (also Leap) I can grok, but not with the second "s"es found there. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Hi, I wonder if I am the only one with this issue (see attached). As you know I build TDE from scratch with some patches and Debug. However after last update (before latestest release) konsole crashes after start. Installing previous version does not manifest the problem. Can you help me understand why? Thank you in advance PS: Here is also output from GDB. Reading symbols from /opt/trinity/bin/konsole...

TDE R14.1.7 release postponed by a week
by Michele Calgaro 30 Oct '26

30 Oct '26

Hi, we are sorry to announce that the release of TDE R14.1.7 has been postponed by a week and will happen on Nov 1 instead of today. Building all the packages for the various distributions is taking longer than we initially anticipated and rather than announcing a partially built release, we prefer to wait an extra week. The development of R14.1.8 is unaffected by the delay, since the team is already working on it. Cheers Michele
