Strange clicking noise from my laptop hard drive
by Philip Ashmore 11 May '17

11 May '17

Hi there. I managed to record it using my laptops built-in microphone. To those who would prefer a description: It starts fast and slows down. I opened the file with Audacity and determined the intervals to be 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 10, 15 seconds, then it repeats. It sounds like some kind of protocol negotiation algorithm that requires a disk sync when the polling time doubles. Here's a link for your listening pleasure: https://www.dropbox.com/s/apdr1o056tam5ie/click.wav?dl=0 I'm hoping it's some cron job, or DropBox, Trinity Desktop, wifi, smart disk status monitoring, nVidia, Intel, ... not a virus trying to phone home. I'm really hoping that someone reading this will go "oh that thing" and know what it is instantly. Curiously it doesn't happen every day. Regards, Philip Ashmore

What is your default Desktop manager? Nautilus being the default file manager for gdm, I could imagine a link. I've seen Gnome 3 bloquing TDE in some distributions. Maybe there is something like that with Ubuntu? As I don't run Ubuntu and don't have nautilus installed I never saw this behaviour. Thierry

in addition to what looks like the unity screen... the Kicker panel is still there with the proper apps present and/or running and all icons respond properly. I remember this happening before, and I ended up deleting the .trinity directory, losing all my settings,email etc. got to be an easy way. Dave

All of a sudden one of my desktops changed to what looks like the Unity display. Right click on desktop only shows new folder and organize by name.If I add a desktop it switches to new desktop, while the other desktop reverts back to TDE. If I delete the new desktop , the (unity) desktop goes back to prior DT. I can't seem to make it permanently gone. Dave

When this system is replaced, which graphics card should I get? I am NOT a heavy user of the video capabilities of any card, just want something that Just Works. :-) -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, Just a quick reminder that our yearly fundraiser is under way. So far results have been somewhat disappointing, so I'd like to ask: what would you (reasonably) like to see us do before contributing a little something to the project? Thanks!

Konsole issue
by Peter Laws 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hello. After being on Ubuntu 14.1 LTS for years, I tried to update to 16.1. Install media Would. Not. See. workstation's RAID so switched to CentOS 7 (all my production stuff uses that anyway). Immediately installed TDE, of course, 14.04 I think. Two issues with Konsole, possibly related to the video driver (card is an "AMD FirePro V4900" with their drivers). First is that it seems to have trouble rendering the _ (underbar) character. No problem leaving random underbars on the screen as text advances, but can't seem to put them in the right spot. This is most noticeable on the last line of a screen full of text. Second, and much more annoying is that when I start Chrome (not my primary browser but necessary for some sites), Konsole becomes very sluggish. Not 2400-baud modem slow, but that was the first thing I thought of. Maybe more like 9600 ... or 14.4 ... Ideas? I do run yum update regularly. -- Peter Laws, BS, MRCP / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu
