KDE connect
by James D Freels 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

I was wondering if any of my fellow TDE users and TDE developers have ever experimented with the KDE connect app/system. I have installed it on my Debian/12 system and Android phone, and it appears to be working. However, I don't think I am using all of the functionality, and cannot find documentation on how to do so. It seems like a powerful thing to have for connectivity between the desktop and phone. This might be a great addition to the TDE desktop. Regards, and Merry Christmas to all ! -- James D.

how to restart dcop launcher ?
by William Morder 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Just wondering if there is a way to do this, such as: sudo /etc/init.d/<dcop or whatever> restart I don't know what caused this issue; maybe it was because I had left my laptop running without rebooting for a very long time? Everything else seems to be running as I want (fingers crossed), so I have just been able to relax a bit and let the machine go, as I have got it properly trained, and it never disobeys me. So this was a surprise. What happened, first, is that I could not check email, even after I had just sent an email a few minutes earlier. Then when I tried to open a new window in konqueror, I got the same message about dcop launcher. When I rebooted at last, everything seems back to normal, but I wonder if this is not a sign of other problems that I need to address. It seems that restarting dcop would do the trick, but I know very little about this part of how these things actually work. Any recommendations or insights are welcome. Nothing urgent, I think, but I would still like better to understand what's going on. Bill

pulseaudio issues after installing NVIDIA driver
by Gianluca Interlandi 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Dear all, Sorry if this may be off topic for TDE. I have a NVIDIA GT 1030 video card. I installed the proprietary driver version 535.146.02. The audio works fine from a fresh boot. However, if I recover from either suspend or hibernate pulseaudio stops working. The TDE sounds still work and mplayer can also play sound. However, firefox and vlc cannot. If I start vlc with a simple movie with sound, it says: Audio output failed: The audio device "default" could not be used: Connection refused. I did not have this problem with the opensource nouveau driver. Is there a way to restart pulseaudio? I tried with pulseaudio --kill pulseaudio --start But that didn't make a difference. It seems that alsasound works but not pulseaudio. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. Thanks! Gianluca PS: Also when I click on kmix there are now three choices: "Pulseaudio", "HDA Intel" and "HDA NVidia". Before installing the driver there were only the first two. ----------------------------------------------------- Gianluca Interlandi, PhD gianluca(a)u.washington.edu +1 (206) 685 4435 http://gianluca.today/ Department of Bioengineering University of Washington, Seattle WA U.S.A. -----------------------------------------------------

Multiple monitors and full screen
by Nick Koretsky 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

I got myself a second monitor and got everything setup to my liking with TDE, except one annoying behaviour. When a program goes into "full screen" mode on one monitor (like media player or youtube in web browser) it covers kicker panels (as it should, everything is correct here), but as soon as any window on another monitor gets focus, panels appear on top of that fulls screen window. Setting "Allow other windows to cover panel" fixes this issue, but introduces other undesirable behaviour - maximize now covers panels, and windows snaps to actual edges of the screen, not to panels Is there any way to prevent panels from showing on top of out-of-focus fullscreen window on another monitor or do something like "allow only fullscreen windows to cover panel"? -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky(a)gmail.com)

Hi all! I think it is time to submit some new screenshots for the TDE homepage, what do you think? Here are 3 taken from my T480, dark themed according to the season. Maybe "somebody" could put them on the screenshot page :) BTW: can't we have a screenshots page that shows all screenshots? The srolling version is kind of ok, but a gallery (as before) would be more convenient. Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...

Looney Tune: running on Athlon XP & 1G RAM???
by Felix Miata 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

I have a bunch of Mageia 8 installations, including a few on 32 bits. 8 support just expired, so I've updated most of them for the last time, some to backported 6.1 kernels, others staying on 5.15. My only Athlon XP locks up locally booted to TDM on the 6.1 kernel, but seems fine on 5.15. Booted 6.1 to multi-user.target, and TDE started with startx, seems to be fine, indicating it's only TDM with the 6.1 kernel problem. The only dmesg/journal clues found from TDM and 6.1 seem to be timeout related, and only in the journal. Same PC with Bookworm and 6.1 seem fine too. Any similar observations? Anybody still using a 32bit Athlon with TDE? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
