TDE on Armbian
by Thierry de Coulon 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

I've got an SBC (not a raspberry) with an ARM processor. I've managed to install Armbian. As it will be running headless but I'd like to take a look at what it has been recording from time to time, kdrc would be perfect. I've done that on a Raspberry (thanks to QOS), but it seems the only TDE for arm is for Raspbian and there are unsatisfied dependancies when I try to install on Armbian. I'll try to see what I can do with vnc, but has anyone made experiences with Armbian? Note: I was able to install KDE 4's krfb on Armbian, but some "smart" developper has decided (for security I imagine) that you have to give the password for kwallet, then create an unattended password everytime - which totaly defeats the use as headless remote access.... Have a good day, Thierry

G'day List, According to DistroWatch, Manjaro is the most popular Linux disribution by a vary large margin. Has anyone put TDE/Trinity on Manjaro? If so, what is the correct way to do it? Thanks, Glen

Kaffeine unattended
by Thierry de Coulon 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

I don't know if someone can help me on this one. The goal is as follow: I have an older machine, running Wheezy and TDE 13.2 As it's only used to record satellite-TV I never felt the need to update it and won't do unless necessary. Now what I would like to do is record something in a week, without leaving the computer on for all that time. I can let the computer start at the right time. When starting it loads kaffeine. I've programmed the recording. My problem is this: a) Kaffeine is started by a link in .trinity/Autostart. The programs starts OK but the Recording Schedule is empty. No recording. b) I close kaffeine and start it again. Now the Recording Schedule is there. Is there some magical string to add so that Kaffeine autostarts *AND* loads the Recording schedule? man or --help don't provide anything about recording. Thierry

Liddel's messages, they still end up in spam. So I have to fish them out as well. A friend at google says it happens because their filtering setups, are designed to favour paid adverts and spam tag nonpaying competitors. He guesses E. Liddel, must be similar enough to a nonpaying competitor to be filtered into spam. Honestly I think they have it out for Liddel. Cheers to all Kate PS Whenever I see an email from Felmon, I always think Felonious Monk, and then think of the Monk series. Which only proves, I have a strange mind. No offense Felmon.

Trinity Desktop and IMEs
by Promet 06 Oct '18

06 Oct '18

Hi, I am a CJK user which relies on IMEs (i.e. iBus, fcitx) etc. to type my native language. However, I found that most of the IMEs only work with modern toolkit libraries, like Qt4/5 and GTK 2/3. I tried R14.0.4 and fcitx does not work on it. It seems that unless these IMEs provide libraries to work with Qt3, it is impossible to get IMEs working in TDE. So my question is, are there any workarounds for such a situation?

Not Getting list mail
by Baron 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Hi Guys, Is there something going on with Google (Gmail) and the list mail ? There isn't any list mail shown when I go into my mail account. But I can see my post and John Pisini's reply on line. Thanks John, but I've not had anything to go into the spam or waste bin folders. -- Best Regards: Baron

I don't think it has to do with SpamAssassin or any local filtering. Kate

Re: In defense of TDE copy

Hello, Sorry, the recent internet link below is in french. (28/09/2018) I translate a little bit : The Linux system "cloud Azure" of Microsoft represents now 50%, and each month it increases. As I written, Microsoft says that : "they are now a major actor of the opensource..." Even the ex-General Executive of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, who hated Linux, qualified it as a "cancer ", says now that he is a fan of the Linux system. The time has changed... The article : www.zdnet.fr/actualites/c-est-qui-le-patron-sur-microsoft-azure-linux-39874… > "Linux users of all countries, unite you !" : Yes, but we are not numerous enough (in the consumer market), only 3%. The desktops of Linux could be a brake to switch to Linux, (KDE, Mate, Xfce...) but TDE-Trinity desktop is really good and not known enough. Maybe, the desktop of Windows is the only quality of this system. For me : Linux and TDE are perfect, the winning cocktail ! Remains the battle materials (install driver) too complex on Linux. Companies as IBM coud help the Linux community ? (after the disaster of OS/WARP). Regards, André

I also use kshowmail and it deletes the emails I don't want and go lists the ones I do. gmail's "filters" are really just designed to let paying spam through anyway. Kate
