Hi all,
Some migration issues that still seem to be there:
Renaming issues with system directories. Two I ran into:
/etc/trinity/kdm -> /etc/trinity/tdm
/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdm -> /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdm
Often both directories exist with different files being placed in
different directories. The configuration files mainly look for files in
the kdm variants of the directories. I can imagine that kdm/tdm is not
the only program that needs attention.
I also still haven't seen the r14 user profile migration script on Ubuntu.
I'm not sure how things are planned exactly now, but I suppose there
should be a second script that can be used to perform and diagnose the
KDE3->TDE migration on a system level.
Best regards,
Julius

Please post some examples of those configuration files looking for kdm rather than tdm.
Thanks!

I did a grep -i kdm /etc/trinity/*/* and it came up with one file.
I've attached the following file:
kubuntu-default-settings-trinity: /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmdistrc
In the error messages I got from KDM before I added symlinks kdm->tdm
(and moving everything inside one directory), also kdm was in the path.

At this point I don't know where the conflict you describe exists. Thus I'm a bit
confused --- nothing new there. :-)
Which set of packages are you using?
If you are using GIT sources (R14 Development), then TDE will use tdm and not kdm. The
default system config directory will be /etc/trinity/tdm and not /etc/trinity/kdm.
If you are using 3.5.13 or 3.5.13.1, then kdm is still used and not tdm. Those releases do
not know anything about tdm.
With the GIT sources, if both /etc/trinity/tdm and /etc/trinity/kdm exist, then the latter
directory is ignored and no longer used. If you are using GIT sources and your system is
trying to use kdm rather than tdm, then I lean toward something distro-specific or
system-specific causing that to happen. Possibly a system startup script is hard-coded to
kdm rather than tdm.
I have been using the GIT sources as my primary desktop for a while now and do not notice
any conflicts or migration issues.
Regarding not seeing the migratekde3 script in your packages, the script gets built into
my Slackware packages without any build script help. The cmake files automatically add
that script to the tdebase package. The installation location of the script should be the
same as starttde.
Regarding the potential second script, I'm unsure what we should check or how. I'm
open to ideas. :-) I think first we look at migratekde3 doing its job. If you don't
have that script in your GIT packages, you can still test by just grabbing the file from
the GIT repository. Although the script works quite well in my system, I believe very few
others in the project have vigorously tested the script. All testing is appreciated. :-)

Erm, I didn't update the Debian/Ubuntu packaging
to include
the migration scripts until yesterday. Rebuild is in progess! :-)
Okay. :-) I'm confused why that was necessary, but I don't use Debian. The cmake
configuration should automatically build and install the migratekde3 script.
Does your Debian/Ubuntu startup script that controls the graphical login look for kdm or
tdm?

tdm IIRC.
