I made a new Squeeze/TDE-lite Live CD with 3.5.13 and all current
Squeeze updates:
http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/tde/
In this version are only minimal changes to TDE defaults, just a nice
(official TDE) wallpaper and a keyboard switcher on the panel .
It is a "clean" build using debootstrap and some custom scripts (not
remastersys or other utility) Everything is strictly GPL.
Included are installers for HD and USB key, a snapshot/remaster utility,
various other custom scripts, virtualbox-OSE guest support. Excellent
results here from USB key.
US/UK English and Spanish language support are preinstalled. Language
and keyboard are selectable from the boot prompt. If there is any
interest, one extra language (DE or FR ?) might just squash in to
CD-size, for a future build.
If anyone else wants to have a go at live image building, I have
deb-packaged the necessary TDE-specific live-boot and live-config
supplementary scripts.
Please note: this is *NOT* an official TDE project and is supported by
nobody except me. Unless you are feeling adventurous, please use the
official TDE installation methods. It is not properly tested, beyond
that it boots and the installer works here; some bugs will likely
surface that are not the fault of TDE !

I'm new to this mailing list thing, so forgive me if I am doing anything
wrong.
To the guy who is having trouble with his Trinity installation. From what
I've gathered on IRC and a post on the announcements mailing list it seems
that the mirrors haven't synced up. The issue seems to be related to Tim's
connection troubles around the time of release. The server was also (I
believe?) brought down to all the traffic gained from slashdot. I'm not
entirely sure on this, since I'm just someone on the same boat as you.
I did get around that specific problem by finding a different mirror
though, and downloading the .repo file from mangafrance:
http://trinity.mangafrance.com/f15/ but it's pointless because since the
mirrors haven't synced fully (From what I've gathered, I'm not sure?)
you'll get too many missing dependencies to install anything.
It's hilarious since I Jumped to Fedora 15 the moment I saw trinity was
available for it. Which is pretty funny! lol
Hi all,
I followed the instructions on the web site
(http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#redhat) to install trinity to
Fedora 15. However the command "#yum install trinity-desktop" returns the
following error message and nothing happens:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/index.html?url=f15.repo, line: 1
'<html>\n'
There is an index.html and an index.html?url=f15.repo file in /ec/yum.repos.d
directory, and I am probably doing something wrong. Any pointer will be
greatly appreciated.

PS: A google search did not identify anybody with a similar problem.
FYI,
I have been using TDE 3.5.13 nightlies in Virtualbox, Debian Squeeze host, it was
working great,
I decided to upgrade my workstation, TDE 3.5.12 to 3.5.13, Debian Squeeze from the
nightlies server.
Failed miserably. the upgrade/install went without a hitch, but upon starting,
KDM-Trinity would crash. Never got a login scren. Removing desktop-base-trinity
made it possible to get a login screen. Logging in I get an error 'kdeinit
failed to start' so no TDE apps worked.
I run dual monitors and after the upgrade only one monitor would work. I have a
custom xorg.conf file that has been working for several releases of Debian, it
seems TDE 3.5.13 handlles X differently than 3.5.12.
All in all the most trouble I have ever had on a Debian box. I purged 3.5.13 and
re-installed 3.5.12.
In my case, I got the wrong impression from the virtualbox install.
Peace,
Greg
Firstly, congratulations Trinity team for the new release!
Using newest 3.5.13, on Squeeze with all latest updates, installed on 3
machines here as well as virtualbox setups.
On one machine's HD install (quite old SIS graphics) and on all using
virtualbox OSE :
After logout from graphical screen the shell appears, no kdm greeter. I
must login as root and do </etc/init.d/kdm-trinity reload> to get a
login screen. <ps ax> shows kdm still running.
It doesn't happen with HD install on one machine with Intel and one with
nvidia graphics. It did not happen with 3.5.12 anywhere.
I have found a workaround by uncommenting the line
"TerminateServer=true" in /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc
Anyone else getting this? Bug?
Regards,
David
Update went OK with no errors seen. However, since rebooting, I have mouse control, the desktop clock is running, but I can do nothing. I'\ can read mail on my Mac, but I really need for this to be running.
Any ideas? I'm sshed in so can grab logs if needed (though I don't really see anything glaring).
Help?

3.5.13 is now working fine (so far) with kdesu. Thanks Trinity team for
dealing with bugs 394/451.
There is still an issue (here at least) with some apps, usually gtk,
that use by default "gksu" (e.g. gparted) or "su-to-root -X -c command"
(many of my custom scripts) Synaptic is ok, it already has a .desktop
file for kde
The problem is just like before, e.g. "klauncher could not be reached
via dcop" requiring relogin or to call kdeinit in a terminal (if you can
get one)
This is however minor and easily fixable compared to 3.5.12, where sudo
was mandatory by default (unacceptable for many Debian users)
I note also, <sux> still causes similar errors (worked in kde 3.5.9/10
in Debian Lenny)
Workaround, if affected: Change relevant .desktop files to include
"X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true" OR using kmenuedit tick "run as different
user" OR just call <kdesu rootappname> in terminal or run box. Don't use
"sux". Check your custom apps/scripts.
Regards,
David
I'd like to request you VERY much to integrate your work into major
Linux distros (Red Hat/Debian/Ubuntu/openSUSE).
Since you already have debs/rpms ready, it should not be too hard.
(For me, of particular importance is future Debian 7.0 "wheezy")
