skype and pulse audio

by Kate Draven

Hi I'm trying to get skype sound to work but apparently the monkeys at MS removed alsa support and replaced it with pulse, which is rubbish. Even though I have pulse enable (pclos - ali's remaster), it still doesn't show up. Is there a fix to re-enable alsa or the like? Kate

Mageia 6 crash on login, can't start desktop

by Tim Williams

Hi all, I'm having a trouble getting Trinity working on Mageia 6. I've installed via the official URPMI repositories, using the trinity-desktop package to ensure all dependencies are present. Note, I've got Trinity running OK on my laptop with Mageia 6, but on my desktop system it's badly broken for reasons I can't trace. My desktop uses an NFS mounted home directory and and is a dual-monitor system. If I use TDM as the login manager, the I get dropped out of X back to the terminal, TDM seems to be unable to start at all. I've switched to LightDM, which fixed this but TDE isn't listed as an available desktop in the relevant menu. Fixing this required a symbolic link from /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm/sessions/tde.desktop to /usr/share/xsessions. If I login the initial splash screen appears, but I then get a crash message which closes before I can read the details, I then get dumped back at the login manager. If I login using XFCE and try to run starttde, then I get same behaviour and again, the crash handler vanishes before I can get at anything useful. I see the following at the command prompt: [starttde] Starting starttde. [starttde] This script is /opt/trinity/bin/starttde [starttde] TDE version is R14.0.4 [starttde] TDE base directory is /opt/trinity [starttde] TDEHOME is not set.

Note, I'm not sure why this is complaining about /home/timw/.DCOPserver_baa.sheep__0, I've checked prior to start up and this dir does not exist, nor is it left behind after the crash. I've tried using a clean user account and also running this as root, but there is no difference, the start up just crashes. I've audited my system and have removed all the left behind Mageia 5 packages, so the installation is clean as far as I can tell. TDE programmes such as konqueror, kate etc start up OK running on XFCE. Any help much appreciated, I'm somewhat lost without my Trinity desktop and this is my primary work computer.

[trinity-users] What has to be done to keep updates from obliterating my tdmrc customizations?

by Felix Miata

This has been happening on all 14.0.x installations to Debian and openSUSE. I know I can lock it down with chattr, but that leaves the package managers showing what appears to be that tdm latest is not installed, and a would be tdmrc replacement sitting in /etc/trinity/tdm/. :-( -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Trinity and Gnome son't see the same screen

by Thierry de Coulon

I have a laptop (Thinkpad X220t) freshly reinstalled with latest openSuSE (I did not yet have time to check under other distributions). I installed Trinity over Gnome 3; If I boot and start Trinity (first user) I have nothing on the external screen (which is a beamer, 1024x768). Internal screen is at 1366*900. If I start a second user (under Gnome) the internal screen resizes to 1024x768 and I get an image on the beamer. Thierry

[trinity-users] "could not find module 'kde-fonts'"

by Felix Miata

That's the response to: tdecmshell fonts This isn't the first time I've had to ask this, but I can never remember how to locate anything that provided an answer, likely because I've asked on IRC, where I have no archive, instead of here. Other than kinfocenter5, I don't see any package or menu item containing infocenter either. It's also missing from the KControl window. What package contains the fonts module in 14.0.4? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[trinity-users] window decorations stuck on tiny

by Felix Miata

14.0.4 Nothing I can find in KControl makes any titlebar objects bigger. I would expect something in either Window Decorations or Icons, but no joy. Among icons, several of the types offer only the default smallest size, 16px or 22px. trinity-accessibility is not installed, but I'm avoiding trying it because I don't expect to need kmag, msayit, kttsd or kmousetool, which trying to install it seems to require. Is there some special theme required? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
