As per David Hare's request, I'm starting a thread dedicated to Exe GNU/Linux (Trinity Desktop Environment pre-installed on a Debian Squeeze live CD) from Exeter, England. I'm about to try it for the 1st time.

VMWARE player complains about libcanberra-gtk-module

by daniele.manghi＠libero.it

Good morning. I've installed vmplayer on my Maverick+Trinity. Installationrun ok, but vmplayer refuses to start the guest operating system telling it is missing libcanberra-gtk-module.so. However, if try to installlibcanberra-gtk-module using apt-get, this one tells that the package is alreadyinstalled and at the most recent level. Besides, a 'locate' run finds /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.soso, what's really the problem ? Do you know if there is a way to bypass it ? ThanksDaniele Manghi

kdm authentication failures

by Alan

Hello, I can't get kdm to authenticate my user. I built kdebase from revision 1236975, and I configured it as follows: mkdir build; cd build cmake .. \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_ALL=On \ -DBUILD_DOC=Off \ -DWITH_SHADOW=On Yet I am unable to authenticate my user. This system doesn't have pam. This used to work with kde 3.5.10 when I ran configure with --with-shadow. Suggestions?

Trinity on newer Dell

by Peter Laws

Haven't been having luck with a new Dell Precision T5500n (2 x dualcore "E5503" and 12 GB RAM). The problem seems to be the ATI FirePro V7800 card. I can install Ubuntu Natty on it no problem. However, when I try to load the preconfigured Trinity/Maverick disc, I get the little "keyboard = human" screen and can escape to the menu, but when I try to "try Kubuntu without installing" I get the Kubuntu logo with the progress dots ... then nothing. In fact, nothing with the monitor icon indicating that the display lost the signal. Can I install the Trinity packages onto an Ubuntu Natty installation instead?

At this point fixing it is a low priority, as the cause of the problem is buried deep within complex auto-signing code that is broken on this repository only. The official release repository works correctly as far as signing is concerned. > Thanks, Tim, for not forcing me (and the rest of us) to have to make a > new desktop layout just because KDE4 is "better" in some programmer's > mind.

You are more than welcome! :-) Of course at this point other members of the Trinity development team deserve some of the credit as well, especially Serghei Amelian, whose work was instrumental in getting the core system to compile on modern Linux distributions.

Can't install Trinity nightly builds on lucid - Missing "ttf-bitsream-vera"

by Schreiberstein

Hello! :-) I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit Alternate (command line only) and I'd like to install Trinity's nightly builds on it. But I can't install them because of a missing dependency : ttf-bitstream-vera. ttf-bitstream-vera is included in hardy, maverick, natty and oneiric, but not in lucid. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera) Output : -------- alex@schreiberstein:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: kubuntu-desktop-trinity: Depends: ttf-bitstream-vera but it is not installable Recommends: kubuntu-docs-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: networkstatus-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: openoffice.org-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: skim but it is not going to be installed Recommends: system-config-printer-kde-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo-trinity but it is not installable E: Broken packages -------- Could you please fix it? btw. Trinity ROCKS! It's soo amazing! Thanks for keeping KDE3 alive!! Greetings from germany : Alex

If your card supports XRandr 1.3 or above (i.e. pretty much anything except the nVidia proprietary drivers) you can try the new Monitor & Display utility in the control panel. Tim

Detecting QT-Version of Trinity

by Rolf Schmidt

Hello Trinity team. First of all, I would like to thank you for your excellent work and secondly I would ask for a hint with qt-creator. Qt-Creator is, may be you know, an execellent IDE not only for developing QT applications. Yesterday I updated my Qt-Creater from version 2.2.0 to 2.3.0. When start the program from a shell, I can see a message which say some thing like "can't determine QT version" and the program ended imedeatedly, if the program is started in a Trinity environment. If the X server is forwarded - using "ssh -Y" - the program starts in a KDE 3.5 (Debian Lenny) environment without problems. At least my question is, does someone know how the QT version can be detected and has something changed in Trinity. May be, that Nokia i.e. the programm does not accept version 3.5.11 because it is not an official release. Thanks for your help and/or ideas Rolf
