Fresh install of Debian 11 ( as of yesterday) 
Trinity Desktop 14

My screen is not going to sleep Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. 

For instance:

I took a nap earlier... The password box said the session was locked at 2:01 
PM CST. At 3:00 the screen was still on!!

Also when the screen does turn off, it takes WAY over the time that I 
have it set for to blank off and turn off the screen. I have it set for:

25 for screensaver

26 for display standby

26 for display suspend

26 min to power off the screen.

Sometimes its almost or right at an hour before the screen blanks off. 

I didn't have this problem with Gnome DE on Debian. 

Thanks,
Chris

No sound in Flatpaks

2022-02-05 Thread c. marlow

Fresh install of Debian 11 ( installed yesterday) 
TDE 14 ( Trinity Desktop)

Hi,

I am having problems with flatpak installations. 

Firefox, VLC, and Telegram has no sound at all when you try to play something. 

But reverting back to the repo version of Firefox ESR and VLC, the sound works 
fine. 

I need to keep Telegram as a flatpak because the repo version when you sign 
into it, it will ask you to enter the code that they texted you and then as 
soon as you enter it, it will say that, that version of Telegram is too old 
and is no longer supported and that I need to update it. 

How do I fix this?

I tried googling this issue, but I can't find anything about flatpaks not 
having any sound in TDE.

Thanks,
Chris

TDE File Manager options

2022-01-20 Thread c. marlow

Hi,

Yes, I know that in previous emails I was using LXDE, but I thought that I 
would nuke and pave give TDE a try since I had never tried TDE  before.

And I am wondering what other file managers work with TDE 14 besides 
Konqueror,  which ain't worth a dang! 

Thanks,
Chris

NO THANK YOU to LXQT... If I want to use KDE, then I'll nuke and pave
and install KDE. 

I tried LXQT on Lubuntu and hated it. The icon themes suck all the way
around. I cant stand Papirus. 

And actually, LXDE is still alive.. It's even still getting updates for
some of the apps. A few of the team members didn't want to see LXDE
die, so they refused to move over to LXQT.

2022-01-16 Thread c. marlow

I am wondering do ya'll mix and match your DE's?

I feel like if I was using plain LXDE,( as in installed as the BASE DE)
It just seems like LXDE didn't come with a lot of apps to choose from. 

I ran this command: ( This is coming from the Deb website):

A complete Debian LXDE desktop environment (starting from Debian 7.0
"Wheezy"):

# apt install task-lxde-desktop



Did I install LXDE wrong on top of gnome? 



My system has Gnome ( as the base) and now LXDE. 

I do use a few Gnome programs in LXDE like:

Clocks, 

Calculator,
 
Screenshot, 

Text Editor (I am guessing that
Mousepad is LXDE's Text Editor? 

Image Viewer

Calendar

Just to name a few. :)

Sometimes that happens to the best of us, we read something and we're
like " That doesn't sound right to me, let me change it".  You then
correct what you said and read it out loud before hitting send and your
mind is like " That sounds a lot better" when its ACTUALLY WRONG! :(

Just curious if there's anybody out there still using LXDE?

2022-01-15 Thread c. marlow

Are there any LXDE users STILL out there?

Today, I have been having this discussion on Debian's Reddit about LXDE
and it's future. 

Even though LXDE is DEAD when it comes to development and adding new
features, I just learned today that LXDE just got a update for
LXterminal just a month or so ago. So LXDE is still getting small bug
fixes from time to time. 

I have LXDE installed on a separate user... Meaning I created a new
account and then installed LXDE from that account. So my CHRIS account
is strictly used with GNOME and the LXDE account is strictly used for
LXDE.

I guess that its good to have SOMETHING installed as a backup just in
case Gnome takes a poop.

Funny, I say that, but I am using THUNAR as my file manager in Gnome 3. 

I tried Nemo first,  I used it for almost a month and it was OKAY I
guess... 

I then decided to install Thunar, and I liked it better. 

But, that's as close to XFCE as I am going to get! lol

DEB Wheezy xfce desktops

2014-05-17 Thread c. marlow

Hello IM BACK!

I am wondering where I can find the desktops thats used in the latest
Debian XFCE desktop Wallpapers?

Theres one I have been hunting UP AND DOWN for on google search and
cant find it, it was the one I was using before I went back to Xubuntu
( just havent gotten around to reinstalling deb xfce yet) It was kind
of a white background ( kinda a creamy off white) and had a tree in
the middle reminded me of windows 2000 my fav windows os.

Cant find it on google like you can the desktops included in the
*buntus where they release it for anyone to download if your on that
distro or not...

If anyone has it or wants to send me all the debian XFCE desktops
pleease do... ive been looking for that tree desktop I was using
in Wheezy ( whatever the latest deb version is of vanilla Deb)

Thanks,
Christopher

Hi tom,

I have checked all over google and cannot find any of the desktops in 
Vanilla Debian, as they're different distro to distro I am on Xubuntu 
12.04 right now but one day plan on going back to Vanilla Debian I liked 
how it only used 100 MB idle with nothing open xubuntu about 250 or so MB.


But I would love to have those desktops / wallpapers I mean if possible 
to add to my ever growing collection :D

That's why I gave you the name of the package that provides at least
some of the wallpapers (I don't know if it contains the one you're

ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xfce4-artwork/ or your preferred

Thank you so much TOM you made me SO HAPPY... I found the one I

  now, Debian Xfce ( just removed all of LXDE's packages in synaptic

 Sounds good. I did this more times (mostly while testing new Debian
 releases in VBox), but sometime a go to troubles, due forgotten/missing
 packages. To solve this is time consumed task - ff the PC has not a lot
 of custom settings/data yet i can to suggest to start from new

 But it is good start to learn more and try to solve this by
 investigating packages dependencies. To find, if the installed
 packages are the first (higher priority by default) from  XFCE
 packages :-)

You know what I did was, I went though synaptic and typed in anything
with LX and removed any packages with LXDE in it, so far xfce says the
computer has been up 11 hours 42. min... So far so good, keeping fingers
crossed! But I might do what you said eventually fresh format and start
over. I will have to come back in a couple days and let you know how
things are going but so far no more X crashes. ^_^

 It is, of course, your decision.  If you prefer to use Windows, taht is up to 
 you.  But I think taht you would get further in Linux if you didn't jump 
 about so much.  You never give any problem time to get solved, and you mix 
 the different things up all the time.  Jumping from one solution/problem to 
 another doesn't really get you anywhere.  (As you see. ;-)  )

So far so good in XFCE, my taskbar says ive been up 11 hours 45 min, I
think I am doing good so far. Keeping my fingers crossed will have to
check back in, in a couple days let you know!

Dont count me out yet! ^_^

Now that ive thought about it going back to windows, prob a bad idea,
I've forgotten everything its been over a year since i've touched
windows.

Sudo Autoremove wanting to kill my system?

2014-04-22 Thread c. marlow

it looks like AUTOREMOVE is wanting to remove everything from the
system? But I dont understand why and is it safe to say yes its not
wanting to remove the whole system? It is because I removed LXDE and now
using XFCE?

I did a TOTAL REMOVE from synaptic of all lxde packages.

 Don't exagerate. It merely wants to remove a few packages which are not
 being used by anything. If anything really critical to the system was
 about to be removed you would receive a warning.
 
 The system is safe. Whether the users of it like the end result is a
 different matter.
 
  But I dont understand why and is it safe to say yes its not

 It isn't removing the whole system. The kernel and libc6 are still in
 place; everything is ok with the world.
 
 Make a note of packages you might want to reinstall; libreoffice? xsane?
 Otherwise say 'yes'.
 
 

Well, it did kill my window manager I had to reinstall LIGHTDM 

it was kinda cool at first, when booting up it would go straight to
terminal entry with

log in:

then it would say your last login was at .. pm
no new messages

soon as I loged in and startx I went straight to my desktop, but I went
ahead and installed all the LIGHTDM components and rebooted now I get a
graphical log in screen instead of a terminal prompt.

 I can assure you LXDE works fine without any icons on the desktop. 
 However, it might be that your system has some issues (avoiding the word 
 'unstable' on purpose).
 
 To rule out Ralf's hypothesis could you please copy paste the output of:
 
 apt-cache policy
 aptitude search '~i!~A^stable'

Holy cow Andrei, that package you told me to install, installed like a
ton of things that were not even in the iso I downloaded from
debian.org.

So far so good, going to go back and reinstall all the codecs for flash etc.

I went though and told synaptic to remove all apps I installed ( total
removal) and reinstalled them to be sure.
Evolution, Cairo dock, vlc, chromium,

but now I have two of some stuff Like 2 task managers, 2
screenshot apps, and they're the same both XFCE versions. its like
that task-xfce  package doubled everything?

Oh I see what it did now, looks like it installed gnome3 under xfce
when I installed that package andrei told me to install. task-xfce4
something. I guess I am going to have to re install tonight..  :(
bummer
