I'm including a screenshots of inkscape. Yes they do run PCLOS just fine, but not with kde4. Usually it crashes. This doesn't happen with kde3, tde, gnome3 and E17. I do notice that kde4 eats a large amount of ram. Most of the machines have 2 gigs or more, the rest have 4 gigs or more. So it's not a ram problem. Regardless I'd love to do a complete and clean install of a TDE based PCLOS install. I document everything from beginning to end and then later use it to create an install guide. Thanks again Kate

PCLinuxOS 2012 TDE (non-official) preview screenshots
by Alexandre Couture 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Here is what my PCLinuxOS TDE remaster will look like: ******Please note that it will not be supported in any way by the PCLOS team because it contains packages that are from outside their repos. They also don't support the use of TDE on PCLOS in any way.***** As you can see, it will be a fully-fledged general-purpose remaster, but with TDE in place of KDE4. Excuse me for the image quality; I may have compressed them a lot! It is coming soon! -Alexandre

Install fails on Ubuntu 12.04
by westbound＠gmx.net 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

As the subject says, I can't seem to install TDE on Ubuntu 12.04. One of the last messages while installing is this: "Setting up kde-guidance-trinity (4:3.5.13-1ubuntu0+ax0~precise) ... Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/displayconfig-hwprobe.py ... update-rc.d: warning: kde-guidance-trinity start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5) update-rc.d: warning: kde-guidance-trinity stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1) usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK] update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] . update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5] -n: not really -f: force The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future." During install I chose kdm over lightdm. I can login ok, but I still get the Unity desktop. What can I do to rectify this? Thanks for any hints, Mike

A functional TDE distribution...
by Patrick Serru 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello all, I use OSS 11.1 + KDE3.5.12, installed from a live CD. The motherboard of the computer is based on an AMD 64-bit, and has about 6 years of age. My recent installation attempts are - OSS 12.1 + KDE3 - OSS 12.2 Minimum, - Exegnulinux_3.3. All have failed. All seem to have problems with the configuration screen: can not use the screen in 1280x1024 resolution (graphics card is ATI 350AV [Radeon 9600])! I remember trying with almost complete success, a UBUNTU + Trinity (dated March 2011). It came to use 100% CPU for no reason, and that research in files on disk 500GB were going badly with Konqueror. I left it when I found the Live CD 11.1+kde3 (I am still using). Westurday morning, I tried exegnulinux_3.3. I did not succeed. A 1360x768 screen has been proposed (not 1380, but 1360!), Then, once in this mode and after restarting the configuration tool, a 1380x1024 screen, but can not complete the setting because the "configuration tool work in graphical mode and if you stop the monitor or the card, this tool can not work "or something like that! In addition, the installation on a USB key failed. The last distribution tryed (just now) was Fedora-17 (07/2012), a live TDE CD that is doing the best by far. But here, at the time of installation: - Unable to change (select any other) disk to install the boot loader - Can not format in an other format than ext4 (no ReiserFS). - Alert at end of installation: "Can not install the boot loader". The cd that I used to boot one of my systems using GRUB1 do not know Ext4. Consequently to boot Fedora is IMPOSSIBLE! Finally, I feel very overtaken by my readings in this list for the USERS, which speaks so much of INSTALLATION SCRIPTS. And if I well understand, a lot of things changed in Linux: XWindow, SytV init, Grub, give up of reiserfs for Ext4, KDE4 & Gnome3, sound system, etc, etc... My question is: OpenSuse is now made so low that I MUST DROP this distribution. Direct me to what? Thank you very much for your work and help.

Trinity packages for PCLinuxOS 2012
by Alexandre Couture 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello everyone, I tried the Fedora LiveCD and I am very impressed with it. I would like to install TDE on my PCLinuxOS 2012 system to make a remaster that use TDE. With proper mods, it can look almost as good as KDE4 while being so much faster and using less memory. By using oxygen icon theme and similar color theme, with the new Ubuntu font, as in PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE edition, it looks awesome! It would be very appreciated to have packages for PCLinuxOS. Thank you for making KDE3 living again! -Alex
