Slightly OT: The Thompson-Davis Editor
by Leslie Turriff 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

I'm using the source code for the open-source Thompson-Davis Editor <http://adoxa.altervista.org/tde/>, "a simple, public domain, multi-file, multi-window binary and text file editor written for IBM PCs and close compatibles running DOS, Win32 (console) or Linux" to learn C and curses programming. You may have noticed its coincidental acronym :-) and yes, it stores it's configuration information in $TDEHOME. TDE is small but non-trivial, and I think it will be a good resource for someone like me, who is attempting to get a grip on programming in the *nix environment; it's not so big as to be overwhelming, yet not as useless as HelloWorld.c. Thoughts? Leslie

I'll check into this. I didn't check each section. There may be more to review than I initially thought. Thanks Greg, Kate

The problem with that is, the drives are never the same. These are client drive (mostly crackmonkeys) in need of data retrieval. Someone will have an answer. As for ancient computers. Glad to see I'm not the only Dr Frankenstein here. Me first computer was comprised of about 27 different computers I found in the rubbish over a period of months about 30 something years back. Still doing it, I've built some amazing machines. A lot of them even worked without blazing into a fireballs. Kate

You likely did this but just in case, just k3b's perms setup/ 2. Check all related perms (dvdrecord, cdr* etc). 3. See if you can complete a burn as root (if you can, it's a perm problem) 4. Also try burning at half the adverted speed. Because of today's corner cutting standards, disks are not always adverted speeds. Let us know what happens and good luck, Kate

Can Trinity for Jessie be used for Stretch/ASCII?
by Jimmy Johnson 09 Jun '18

09 Jun '18

I like the desktop for Jessie, I don't feel like I'm missing anything by using it and I'm experiencing a reproducible bug that's shared by others in ASCII/Stretch and it gets worse using the Plasma Desktop and would like to test the problem with TDE for Jessie. The problem is screen blackouts both audio and video using HDMI on a smart tv, the blackouts come and go, come and go, short blackouts using TDE and long blackouts using Plasma. Thank, -- Jimmy Johnson Devuan Jessie - TDE Trinity R14.0.4 - AMD A8-7600 - EXT4 at sda2 Registered Linux User #380263
