Good morning.Now that I can setup a mobile connection, i want to use it todownload packages. However, no matter which I try to installusing apt-get, I always get the same error message. For instance,trying to install alien produce the following :--------------------------- manghi@silverblack:~$ sudo apt-get install alien Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto Generazione albero delle dipendenze Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto Il pacchetto alien non ha versioni disponibili, ma è nominato da un altro pacchetto. Questo può significare che il pacchetto è mancante, è obsoleto oppure è disponibile solo all'interno di un'altra sorgente E: Il pacchetto "alien" non ha candidati da installare manghi@silverblack:~$ --------------------------------------That is :no available versions for alien package. It is named by a different package. Thiscould mean that it doesn't exist, or that it is obsolete, or that it is provided onlyby a different source. But : what does it mean ? What I should do ?ThanksDaniele Manghi

I've downloaded umtsmon from sourceforge, and I did not even have to compile it, because the tar.gz contains a binary. I had just to fill in the APN of my network provider, figure out that umtsmon had to be run as superuser (-> sudo), and it worked out-of-the-box. Many many thanks! D.

HELP NEEDED for mobile !!!
by daniele.manghi＠libero.it 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Good Morning to Everyone.I've just downloaded and installed a pre-built Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) with Trinityon an old TOSHIBA Satellite U-200. I would be verry happy to drop KDE4.x, which I don'tlike at all, and keep my old good (very very good) KDE 3.5. I was having troubles with wireless, but they are solved and now wireless is OK.Unfortunately, now I'm not managing to setup a mobile connection through a huaweiusb key. Is there some guide about how to configure a mobile connection under Trinity ?ThanksDaniele Manghi

Trinity 3.5.12 RPM for EL6
by Francois Andriot 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hello, After using Trinity 3.5.12 for months under RHEL 6, I think it's time to share my packages. They run fine under RHEL 6, Scientific Linux 6 and probably Centos 6 too. I've just written a minimalistic page with instructions and a YUM repository here: http://trinity.mangafrance.com/ Source RPMS are also provided. Have fun ! Francois Andriot

Problems connecting to a router
by daniele.manghi＠libero.it 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Good morning. I've installed Kubuntu(Maverick)+Trinity from your preassembledbinary distribution, to replace my old Fedora 8 - still retaining a KDE 3.5, with which Iwas very happy, instead of getting a KDE 4.x. All seemed OK, but,unfortunately, I am not able anymore to connect through wi-fi to the Linux system which was acting as my router to the Internet. The connecting procedure works if I configurethis wi-fi connection with fixed IP address and DNS address. It breaks at the IP configuration step if I configure this connection as DHCP-based (as I was used to). I did not changed absolutely nothing in the router configuration, so I was expecting all would have worked seamlessly. I realized that, with DHCP, the connection from router to Internet must be ok for all to work well, butit is certainly so, because I can access the Internet from the router's desktop. Do you have any idea of which the problem could be ?ThanksDaniele Manghi

Rescheduled BUG Day (Was: Re: [trinity-users] BUG Day!)
by Robert Xu 20 Aug '11

20 Aug '11

So I was approached with the idea that weekends might be better, because more people are available and more testing can be done. Kudos to Calvin. Because I cannot push it further back than it already is, I have moved it forward. Bug Day is now 20 August 2011. We'll be fixing bugs all day, so feel free to drop in and report to us! Wrap-Up Meeting (August meeting) will be 1900 EDT. Join us in #trinity-desktop-meeting on Freenode (webchat.freenode.net ) to help with bugs and get help with any outstanding issues, live! If you don't already have an account on btd, you should probably create one. URL: bugs.trinitydesktop.org And last but not least, we need all the help we can get :) (PS: No nightly builds needed, 3.5.12 works too ^_^)
