Hi,
The trinity install failed on my system. Now I can't do anything with
apt-get (see below). How can I fix this?
$sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-default-settings-kde3 kubuntu-desktop-kde3

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
k3b-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (>= 4:3.1.4-2) but it is not
going to be installed
kdelibs4c2a-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (> 4:3.5.12) but it is
not going to be installed
Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (< 4:3.5.13) but it is
not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

I noticed some of these were already mentioned, though not fixed or
answered, so far as I can determine.
KDM -- won't allow me to shut down, reboot or much of anything else except
login.
Kdesu -- refuses to accept my root password. I have to jack around to
setup the X auth for root using the commandline.
KWifiManager -- If I launch from the commandline as root, it does find a
network, but the wrong one. I can't get it to let me select my in-home
wifi connection. It lists it for a scan, but I see no means to make it
select it. From my user account, I can't do anything with it at all.
This last one is a show-stopper for me. If I can't connect and configure
on the fly wherever I go, the DE is useless. So, what would you need from
me to diagnose this?

Hi,
the above mentioned edition is based on Debian Testing. Is there a
Trinity version available?

Das heutige Motto:
Ein Narr tut, was er nicht lassen kann;
ein Weiser läßt, was er nicht tun kann.
New day, new game.
After I got the medium autolauncher back to work I found an other funny thing:
something eats up "cursur up" keys in the xine window. It's a xine only
phenomenon, no other application is afflicted. It afflicts only the "cursour
up" key, no others. kdeaccessibility-trinity is not installed.
Thoughts?

Hi!
At last I made the transition to trinity + squeeze with the last of my boxes,
the infamous office box. I saw my desktop go down in flames (which actually
was the falt of som weired xorg problem) and raise from the ashes 2 days
later. After all I am very satisfied, I didn't loose my kwallet nor my kmail
settings and date - in fact I didn't loose anything important :-)
There is only one issue left, that I was not able to correct: the medium
application autostart does not work as I exect it.
What I got so far:
After I log in, plug in a DVD or USB storage device. Usually there should pop
up a dialog asdking me what medium was found and what to do next. Now that
dialog does not show up.
But when I open konqueror and go to media:/ I see the plugged in device (not
mounted). I can open it from there. I unplug the USB device, the icon
disappears as expected.
I start kcontol, go to "Peripherials/Storage Media", there select "Defaults"
and "Apply", close kcontrol, plug in the USB storage device and the famouse
dialogbox shows up!
When I log out and log in again the dialogbox does not show up until I open
kcontrol and do these steps.
Now I cannot find what kcontrol does at this stage to make things work. I
tried strace, but kcontol does not change the contents of any file
in .trinity. It opens and reads these files, but nothing is written:
.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/xine-dvd.desktop
.trinity/share/config/kcontrolrc
.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals
.trinity/share/config/khtmlrc
.trinity/share/config/kio_httprc
.trinity/share/config/kioslaverc
.trinity/share/config/medianotifierrc
xine-dvd.desktop plays DVDs, if inserted. At least when I first start
kcontrol ;-)
I made a diff from the ~/.trinity tree befor and after running kcontrol, but
there are no changes.
So, is there a way how I can get the medium autoplay to work?

I am installing (or trying to!) Trinity on a fresh minimal install of Squeeze.
But I have run into problems (which I did not the other day on a full
install).
I have edited my sources.list as instructed on the Pearson website, and have
checked and rechecked the repositories. They seem to be fine, but when I do
<aptitude update> I get a lot of error messages like this one:
[ ERR] Reading package lists
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with
MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net_trinity_trinity_debian_dists_squeeze_main_i18n_Translation-en
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
And obviously couldn't install Trinity either, with similar errors. I am
completely baffled. Can anyone throw light on this?

Hello
I installed trinity on a PC running Ubuntu Lucid (I did not
do the original installation so I am not sure if something
went wrong)
However when I connect in kde3 an usb device with a linux
partion 2 things happen
- the kde daemon pops up twice instead of only once
- the device is mounted but the files belong to
another user of this PC. This is very annoying
because in order to copy I have to use sudo and then
later the chown chgrp command.
I looked up the fstab file in /etc but there I can't see the
source of the problem.

Hello
I finally installed successfully trinity on a PC which runs
Ubuntu Lucid. However when I log in using KDE3 after some
seconds, docky, a sort of gnome planel which looks like the
MacIntosh planel, starts up and annoys me. So I have to kill
it in order to enjoy KDE3. How can a disable docky per
default.
thanks
