Are there any TDE native tools to configure user break intervals? Tools similar to RSI or eye/screen breaks? Thanks.

kmail & oauth2
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 13 Mar '25

Hi all, Has anybody successfully used kmail with anything that requires oauth2 authentication (m$, google, ...)? I am currently in the need to setup a client with outlook365 (what a pest). My plan was to go with https://github.com/simonrob/email-oauth2-proxy - but maybe there is a better way?

getting Logitech USB microphone to work with Audacity (or better solution) - off-topic
by William Morder 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

Okay, so here's another off-topic conumdrum for the more technically-inclined musicians and sound people out there. I found a Logitech USB microphone at a second-hand shop for cheap ($5), and want to get it working with my machine, so that I can do quick and dirty recordings of demos or just for my own practice. My machine does recognize the microphone, no problem. (I always seem to have good luck with Logitech products.) I used alsamixer, hit the F6 key, chose Logitech USB microphone, and there it is. I did not have Audacity installed, though I have used it a lot, when I have a much more complete mixing setup, sometimes with multiple instruments and microphones attached. Again, no problem. I've made many recordings using Audacity with different guitars and microphones. Now, however, while my machine recognizes the microphone, Audacity will not start up at all. I installed it from the repositories, everything seems right. When I run F2 and enter audacity, the logo shows up. But when I check top, it never appears at all, as if something is blocking Audacity from starting up. I checked what I could of config files, etc., but nothing seems amiss. I do have a backup of my system, including the folders for my previous working version of Audacity, so it's possible that I could solve my problem by just copying the old folder into my new folder, and overwrite everything so that my settings ought to be forced. But I'm wondering if anybody else might have a clue what's going on, before I go rogue and do something stupid. Also, over the past couple years I've been reading various complaints about the new "privacy" policies of Audacity: that it now snoops on users, even when it's not running, if it's installed on a system. I would like to find a better fork that respects our privacy, but so far I have found nothing to compare with it in GNU/Linux programs. Thanks for any help. Bill

Can I use DCOP to maximize a window programmatically?
by J Leslie Turriff 07 Mar '25

07 Mar '25

In a particular script, I'd like to maximize the Konsole window, and DCOP seems like the way to do this, but I can't figure out which component would provide the capability?

skype only with SNAP (off-topic)
by Gianluca Interlandi 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Dear TDE users, I understand this may be off-topic. I was trying to update skype on my openSUSE Leap 15.4 installation (I know this is no longer officially supported), but I discovered that skype is no longer provided as RPM, but only as SNAP. I have never used SNAP. Can SNAP and RPM coexist in openSUSE Leap? Is that going to create conflicts? Is there a way to extract files from the SNAP archive? All I see on the skype website is a button that says "Install" but not sure whether that installs directly or first downloads a file? Thanks!
