OSS support ?
by Philippe Bourdeu d'Aguerre 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hello, A few words of presentation. I am new to Trinity. I manage a Centos 5 server with users connected trough Sunray devices. Centos 5 is stuck to KDE 3.5.4. There is a project (http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ ) providing KDE 3.5.10 but it seems to be dead. It's why I am very excited about Trinity project. I am trying Trinity 3.5.13. and have an issue with sound. Arts offers only Alsa backend. In KDE 3.5.10, I have more choice. Sunray devices need OSS which is available in KDE 3.5.10 but not in Trinity 3.5.13. Is there a way to get OSS backend ? Thank you. -- Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE AIME - Campus de l'INSA http://www.aime-toulouse.fr/ 135, av. de Rangueil Tel +33 561 559 885 31077 TOULOUSE Cedex 4 - FRANCE Fax +33 561 559 870

[debian] Trinity installation and Qt3 versioning bug
by Laurent Dard 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

To all Debian users who are experimenting problems to install Trinity. There was a bug with Qt3 versioning, in the Debian version of Trinity 3.5.13. (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=583) If the following command: dpkg -l|grep 3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0 is listing some packages, you'll have to force a "downgrade" from version "3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze" to version "3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze". Here is a script to do the job: OLDVERSION=3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze NEWVERSION=3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze for f in `dpkg -l | grep $OLDVERSION | awk '{print $2}'` ; do apt-get install $f=$NEWVERSION done -- Laurent Dard

Hello, after some days of work, I think I've managed to build a "first final" LiveCD for TDE 3.5.13, based on Fedora 16 (i386). You can download the ISO on the mirrors at the following URL: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/f16/trinity-… Your feedback is welcome. Thanks Francois Andriot

minimal trinity installation
by Stefan Endrullis 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi, is there a way to install the Trinity Desktop Environment without installing nearly all KDE3 programs such as digikam, ...? The proposed package kubuntu-desktop-trinity has IMO quite a lot dependencies. Is there a certain package which only provides the DE? So that Trinity can be started from kdm or gdm? Regards, Stefan

Installation problem on Ubuntu oneiric (ksmserver-trinity fails to install)

Hi, when I try to install Trinity 3.5.13 on my Ubuntu oneiric machine the package "ksmserver-trinity" fails to install. Apt-get shows the following error: > dpkg-divert: error: `diversion of /usr/bin/plasma to /usr/bin/plasma.kde4 by ksmserver-trinity' clashes with `local diversion of /usr/bin/plasma to /usr/bin/plasma.kde4' > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ksmserver-trinity_4%3a3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~oneiric_amd64.deb (--unpack): > subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 (full output of "apt-get -f install" in appendix) I suppose this is a bug, but is there a way to work around it?

problem installing dev packages for 3.5.13
by Werner Joss 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I would like to compile kde3 stuff for trinity, without compiling all of trinity first. so I tried to install kdelibs4-trinity-dev but this fails: Die folgenden NEUEN Pakete werden zusätzlich installiert: comerr-dev{a} hspell{a} kdelibs4-trinity-dev{b} krb5-multidev{a} ... ....... 0 Pakete aktualisiert, 93 zusätzlich installiert, 0 werden entfernt und 0 nicht aktualisiert. Muss 28,7 MB an Archiven herunterladen. Nach dem Entpacken werden 92,7 MB zusätzlich belegt sein. Die folgenden Pakete haben verletzte Abhängigkeiten: kdelibs4-trinity-dev: Hängt ab von: gettext-kde, welches ein virtuelles Paket ist. libarts1-trinity-dev: Hängt ab von: libogg-dev-la, welches ein virtuelles Paket ist. Die folgenden Aktionen werden diese Abhängigkeiten auflösen: Beibehalten der folgenden Pakete in ihrer aktuellen Version: 1) kdelibs4-trinity-dev [Nicht installiert] 2) libarts1-trinity-dev [Nicht installiert] (which means something like 'keep kdelibs4-trinity-dev' although it is not installed !) reply Yes gives no result (nothing downloaded, nothing installed). in addition, there is a dependency for kdelibs4-trinity-dev mentioned: gettext-kde, which is not available. what am I missing ? werner p.s. my setup is debian squeeze, trinity updated from 3.5.12 to 3.5.13

TDE on Mepis Linux
by Thierry de Coulon 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Hi all, I have been following TDE development, howeverI don't like Ubuntu's "way of life" and Debian Squeese lacked some drivers I need, so I've been using Squeese based Mepis 11 for the last moths (Warren finaly put together a usable KDE 4.x desktop). With the release of TDE 3.5.13 I decided to look if I could install it on Mepis. I followed the instructions for Squeese and actually everything went smoothly, except that update-initramfs failed, so I had to run it again with -t -u The problem I'm trying to solve is this: after reboot, I was able to choose TDE as environment for my session. However, I get a "Could not start kdeinit. check your installation" message. When I click "OK", TDE seems to load correctly, but kicker crashes on me very often, some settings can't be done (e.g. I cant change the clock, clicking on "configure clock" crashes kicker). I don't seem to find the TDE settings, which I would expect to be linked to this error too. Where should I look to try and understand *what* prevents kdeinit to start? I'm not sure if this culd be a KDE 4 / TDE conflict. This is not a production install, so I can try almost anything. thanks for any suggestions, Thierry

additional programs for 3.5.13
by Werner Joss 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

hello all, I just want to announce that I have now succeeded in building most of my favourite kde 3.5 applications which are not in the trinity repos, for trinity 3.5.13 on debian squeeze, see http://www.hoernerfranzracing.de/zip/trinity/index.html if anyone is interested, feel free to check them out. but keep in mind, that these are _not_ official trinity packages, nor guaranteed to work as expected, though I can confirm *worksforme* :) werner p.s.: I'll also ask on the devel list if there is interest for any of these to be incorporated in the official trinity applications tree (in which case I will first have to learn how to build proper debian packages...)

I'll test this a little more before installing on my production machine, I have some important things to do this week. I downloaded all the other repository packages (libqt-compat-headers and so). Should I install them as well? Have a nice day, Thierry

Squeeze/TDE 3.5.13 - failed upgrade
by Neil Youngman 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Unwisely, perhaps, I attempted an upgrade from within a running desktop. I replaced my sources.list entries for TDE with: # Trinity desktop deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main aptitude update succeeded on the second attempt and then I ran aptitude upgrade. The first sign of trouble was that the window manager crashed as the update was applied. I was left with only the running windows and no borders. The only way to switch windows was to click in a different window, so I shut them all down with CTRL-Q and then I selected "end current session from a right-click menu. This dropped me straight back to a command line. All attempts to restart X and KDM failed, so I rebooted to see if that made any difference. I was still stuck at the command line, so I reverted my sources.list and tried to revert kdm. That failed with dependency issues, so I wiped all of trinity 3.5.13 and reinstalled 3.5.12, which restored my desktop to normal functioning. Neil Youngman
