Image for TDE on 32bit machines :)
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 26 May '26

26 May '26

Just a heads-up for all devs: TDE 14.2.0 running on a "HP Mini" ATOM 32bit machine. - Kernel 7.0.9 i686 - TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT - Devuan Ceres Download: - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-2026-05-24-i386.img.xz - https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-2026-05-24-i386.img.xz.sha256 Please note: for the old DXXX ATOM CPUS you must use the "modesetting" driver, otherwise the GPU will crash: cat > $MNT/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf << XXX Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" # Driver "intel" Driver "modesetting" Option "NoAccel" "True" Option "DRI" "False" EndSection XXX So dust off those old machines on your shelfs and basements, you can run a decent OS on them :) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

TDE with vncserver and KRdc
by deloptes 25 May '26

25 May '26

Hi, I wonder what is the best vnc tool to use with TDE? I did following experiment now: - installed a VM and installed TDE in the VM - installed vncserver - configured the user and the startup script [1] - started the server - on my PC started krdc and connected to the TDE I had some issues, but I found out that xstartup was not executable. There are still some issues with things not working (TCC crashing etc) => Again as may be 15y ago there are issues with keyboards. Buttons stop working. ALT/META key has strange behavior. I switched to vncviewer and things are much better. I can indeed work. Any ideas ... what are you using or how are you configuring both sides?

Re-maping the "Windows" key
by Thierry de Coulon 10 May '26

10 May '26

Hello all, I've got one of these nice Lenovo Thinkpad Keyboards (the old USB, wired type). Unfortunately, the one I got has the US layout but I use the Swiss layout. This mostly is solved with stickers, however many european languages use a layout with one more key (which is used for <, > and \). So this key is missing (physically). Now there is that useless "Windows" key looking at me. Can I modify TDE's Swiss Keyboard Layout to re-map that key to <>\ ? Thierry
