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

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.

Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong place to submit bugs. I initial tried reporting bugs via the Bugs link on the webpage, https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/issues, but it requires a login, and doesn't give an option to create a new account. I'm on Arch Linux, and after using Trinity for a few days, I noticed a few issues: 1. Dolphin is lacking the option to have a common display for all directories 2. Konqueror: maximum thumbnail limit of 100MB is to small by modern standards. I have video files that are measured in 10s of GBs for example... 3. Konqueror/Dolphin: thumbnails for basically all modern video files (example: mkv h265) are not generated. Would be nice to have a modern ffmpeg backend. 4. Thumbnails for JPEG XL and AVIF images are not generated. Similarly, they cannot be viewed at all. 5. Switching to another virtual terminal session (like a Plasma 6 session running for another user) and then switching back to the TDE session results in black screen, with only the mouse cursor visible. (Using SDDM.)
