PulseAudio?
by Peter Laws 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

KMix seems to default to that, but seems to have no control over audio when it does. If I select "HDA Intel", all is well. What is PulseAudio and if I don't need it can I get rid of it?

Why replace libgcc1, libstc++6, et al?
by Mike Bird 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

I am upgrading Debian Squeeze systems from TDE 3.5.12 to 3.5.13. The upgrades seem to work fine omitting the following packages: gcc-4.5-base 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgcc1 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgfortran3 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgomp1 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libstdc++6 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 I am loathe to install non-Debian versions of these packages in case they cause problems with other Debian software, either now or in future. Is there any reason why Trinity needs to replace such critical packages? Thanks, --Mike Bird

libreoffice issue
by Greg Madden 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I have a new install of Debian Squeeze & TDE 3.5.13, gave up on trying to upgrade from 3.5.12 > 3.5.13. I am having issues with LO, anyone else ? I installed Libreoffice 3.3.4 deb packages from Libroffices's web site. LO starts , I have the screen with the various components listed, selecting 'open document' doesn't bring up a the open document dialog box. I can open one of the apps, but no 'open doc dialog box' again. Frustrating because everything works in TDE 3.5.12 & my Virtualbox instances. -- Peace, Greg

i386 on Fedora 15?
by e_vera＠lavabit.com 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

So, I keep checking the two most easily reachable mirrors (uidaho, and mangafrance) and I notice they both have 64 bit binaries yet neither had 32 bit ones. :/ Yet I do see a folder labeled 'i386' I am wondering what's taking so long with the 32 bit binaries? o.O Kind of bothersome I moved to fedora the moment I saw it was available... lol Hope that wasn't too rude to ask either...

Congratulations for Distrowatch donation!
by Andy 08 Nov '11

I see that Trinity is this month's recipient of a Distrowatch donation ($300 USD). I think this is wonderful news, both for the money and for the recognition. Congrats to the Trinity team! Best regards, Andy

Re: [trinity-users] RE: cannot install to Fedora 15
by E. Hakan Duran 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Thanks for the info. It looks like there seems to be at least a moderate if not high demand for trinity-desktop. KDE4, Gnome 3 and Unity must have caused a lot of resentment. It is actually sad, considering all the voluntary work hours spent on those window managers, and the lost potential. My biggest personal disappointments actually are KDEPIM, akonadi, nepomuk trio, along with amarok. I am hoping to experience a back-to-home feeling with trinity desktop on these fronts.

[trinity-users] Squeeze/TDE3.5.13 - Successful upgrade
by David Hare 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

2 more (Squeeze) systems to upgrade from 3.5.12 here today. Using official repo (not "nightly builds") I made sure to upgrade all Debian packages first (TDE sources temporarily disabled) and reboot. There was a recent Squeeze "point release". One machine has nvidia. Then (TDE sources re-enabled) used apt-get in download-only mode : apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -d Once more: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -d That should have shown error messages for any failed downloads (there were not). If so I could have either waited or downloaded manually from "nightly builds" to /var/cache/apt/archives Then, to see if any other errors, like half the system to be removed or packages which apt will not install: apt-get dist-upgrade -s Finally, when satisfied it all looks good: (su) /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop (log in to shell as root) apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (when prompted for config file overwrites, select "install the package maintainer's version") /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity start No problems at all.

Package missing: kde-i18n-de-trinity
by Danny B. Edel 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hello list, I am currently using TDE 3.5.12 on Debian Squeeze and want to upgrade to latest version. Although I have added the entries from ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net (...) trinity-v.3.5.13, I cannot upgrade because some package seems to be missing. Here is the output from apt-get upgrade, it contains the URL of the package in question. root@dannytrinity# LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: gwenview-trinity k3b-data-trinity k3b-trinity libk3b3-trinity The following packages will be upgraded: amarok-common-trinity amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity arts-trinity hal-trinity kde-i18n-de-trinity libakode2 libarts1c2a-trinity libartsc0-trinity libk3b3-extracodecs-trinity 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Need to get 22.0 MB/37.5 MB of archives. After this operation, 557 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/ squeeze/main kde-i18n-de-trinity all 4:3.5.13-0debian9+r1181027+pr1~squeeze 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/p… 404 Not Found E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? If you manually browse to the folder http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/p… you will see that it is in fact empty, so I assume its a build problem. Please upload the new i18n package, since we want to use Trinity in the German language.

Kicker crashes when I hover over "System" or "Settings"
by Corey McGuire 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

When I hover over "System" or "Settings" in the K Menu, kicker crashes. This bug is 100% repeatable and it happens after I've hovered over the name long enough to invoke the displaying of the child menu. I have a completely new install of Xubuntu 11.10, AMD64, and I am running the nightly build of 3.5.13. I blew away my profile, so this is a squeaky clean install. I'd file a proper bug report, but I don't know where I get the appropriate dump for this crash. Point me there, and I'll post it.
