kmix and usb soundcards?
by Rody 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Now it gets weird: Even though the HDA Intel device is selected (the default soundcard on the motherboard), the sound is actually coming from the rubix... I'm puzzled... Regards, Rody

Mascot naming
by Alejo Fernandez 22 Jun '25

22 Jun '25

Hello! As you all know, The Dragon has been added a "T" to the Scarf in many images at TDE Gitea, and I made a sandbox for the Trinity Desktop Project Wiki with information about the 'Tonqi' mascot, but as you've suggested, they're unsure of the name 'Tonqi'. So I'm asking you to decide on a name for TDE's mascot. P.S. The link to the article and/or sandbox is here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/User:SleeperGuy/sandbox/Tonqi

by Rody 20 Jun '25

On a Devuan 5 system with TDE as the only desktop, I have a Roland Rubix as soundcard. It's recognised by the system but not visable and thus selectable in kmix. aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC221 Analog [ALC221 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: Rubix24 [Rubix24], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 The correct device is listed as card 2. Is there any way to tell kmix to use this usb card? Regards, Rody

Desktop media icon preview turning it off?
by Curt Howland 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Good morning. Yesterday I had a crash when moving a file icon to a thumb drive while the previously moved file icons were being deleted. The crash recovered almost instantly and I haven't seen any repercussions. Except... Now when I leave the mouse pointer over a media file icon, it starts to play it. The media player is not launched, it's just done as a preview. I found under "properties > preview" a "play automatically" check box, which I have unselected. I tried toggling that, but it did not work to stop the mouse-over preview. Can someone point me to where to turn this feature off globally?

dropbox system tray disappeared
by Uwe Brauer 16 Jun '25

16 Jun '25

Hi all I am running Ubuntu 24.04 and 4:14.1.3 I have been warned in the last weeks the support for the system tray might be dropped and as of today it did. While in Ubuntu with the native Gnome desktop the tray is still visible, in trininty it is not. Is there anybody using Dropbox and the file synchronization? Did anybody find a workaround. For me this is a real loss because I relied quite a bit on it. Dropbox still works but I have no direct way of knowing whether a syncrhonization worked, how much space I am using, other than running the command line which is annoying Uwe Brauer

TDE menu color
by Darrell Anderson 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Where in KControl is the TDE panel menu color controlled? I can change the panel color and background image, but my menu color is gray. How do I change that to black(ish) with white text? I am not much into themes so an extra clarification or two would be helpful. Thanks. :)

Using Alien to convert .deb to .rpm
by J Leslie Turriff 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Does anyone here know how to work Alien? So far I have had no success converting a .deb package to .rpm so I can install it on my machine. Attached is a terminal session that shows what's happening. I tried sending a support request to the maintainer, but my email bounced with "joeyh(a)debian.org: SMTP error from remote server for RCPT TO command, host: muffat.debian.org (209.87.16.33) reason: 550 Unrouteable address".

Using external player for system sounds; how do I pass arguments?
by simon.stockhaus.95＠gmail.com 05 Jun '25

05 Jun '25

I want to play system notifications through Pipewire's pw-play due to having some issues with ARtS (high CPU usage, volume spikes when playing multiple sounds - I'll write a bug report later), but if I just specify 'pw-play' as the player in the Knotify settings it only plays one sound at a time, I'm presuming since it's run as a foreground process. I know that you can add an '&' to the end of a command in the terminal to spawn it as a background process, is there a way to do something similar here? 'pw-play &' doesn't work since I'm assuming the file argument is appended to the end (or if the sound data is passed through stdin, idk how this works). Help would be appreciated.
