Hi all! I just finished uploading the latest version of "darkness".

App-Indicator Installation
by CHRIS M 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

When launching dropbox, I get an error saying that I need to install app-indicator for the dropbox icon to show up in the system tray, and that if I don't install it, Dropbox will run in the background, I just won't be able to see what it's doing. What do I need to install? I am using Debian 13. Thanks, Chris

Monitor Standby broken
by CHRIS M 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

I woke up this morning to my screen still being blacked out, but the backlight was on even though I have TDE set to: https://imgur.com/a/hVRnLMl The only way I can get it to turn off completely is by checking the " DISABLE SCREENSAVER" box, but by doing that, when you come back to the computer and move the mouse, instead of being asked for a password, you're taken straight to the desktop. What am I doing wrong? Its like down to the point where, I don't have time to tinker with things that constantly break so its like: 1 > I just leave the monitor on a screensaver at night and cover up the screen with something to make it dark in my bedroom. Because I hear, using the power switch on the monitor will age the monitor components faster. And Yes, I know leaving it on, with a screensaver will age the bulbs too.... But, its like Damned if you do, and Damned if you dont!!!!!!! 2> Tinker and figure out why the power settings are broke in TDE Thanks, Chris Platform: Linux Distribution: Debian 13 Desktop Environment: Trinity

Sound coming from Internal Speaker instead of bluetooth device.
by CHRIS M 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

I got TDE installed, I am using the same user account as I was Plasma 6. I installed Blueman, deleted my speaker's connection, paired it to blueman. But instead of sound coming from the bluetooth Alexa speaker, I am only getting sound from the internal speaker. HELP! I've looked in KMIX and don't see anything about switching to bluetooth for sound output! Thanks, Chris

Website is down, yet again..
by Chris M 04 Oct '25

"Hello, are the lights still on? or did TDE go out of business?" I'm afraid to nuke my system to install TDE, because I tried installing openSuse in a VM, and when running the commands to install TDE, they all errored out. So I guess I will just wait it out, until everything is fully functional again. https://imgur.com/a/ssuJ523 Thanks, Chris
