Hi,
I'd like to run trinity parts, at least kpdf, on a machine where I
have no admin privileges (it is a Debian Squeeze and runs gnome2). So
far, I've:
1. downloaded the following packages:
kpdf-trinity_3.5.13-0debian9+r1258283+pr3~squeeze_amd64.deb
kdelibs4c2a-trinity_3.5.13-0debian9+r1261449+pr12~squeeze_amd64.deb
libtqtinterface_3.5.13-0debian9+r1258011+pr2~squeeze_amd64.deb
libqt3-mt_3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze_amd64.deb
2. extracted them using =dpkg-deb -x=: this creates ./usr,
./opt/trinity, etc.
3. tryed to run kpdf:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(find opt/trinity/lib usr/lib -type d | xargs echo |
sed "s; ;:;g") opt/trinity/bin/kpdf
this sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=opt/trinity/lib:opt/trinity/lib/mime:opt/trinity/lib/mime/packages:opt/trinity/lib/trinity:\
opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins:opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/styles:\
opt/trinity/lib/trinity/plugins/designer:usr/lib:usr/lib/pkgconfig:\
usr/lib/qt3:usr/lib/qt3/plugins:usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods:\
usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats
In the end, kpdf is running but:
1. I throws many errors a start time:
1. complains about dcop server being absent: can I skip this? I
found nothing relevant in the kpdf man page
2. could not find mime type "application octet-stream", seems to
be related to
3. then says "no mime types installed"
2. file and edit menus have "No text!" names. I guess I can figure
out why because kpdf is missing its files (i.e., there's no
/opt/trinity/share/apps/kpdfpart/part.rc et al. in the kpdf
scope), but I don't know how to fix it. Note that I copied
~/.trinity/share/apps/kpdfpart/part.rc.
I'd be glad if someone has the willing to help me polishing this! I
really miss kpdf at work!
Thank you,
Nicolas
PS: Would it be possible to install and run parts of trinity from a
fakeroot env?
Could somebody please verify this?
Point konqueror to a site with unknown site certificate, e,g,
http://www.ba-ca.at/
Now the dialog "server authentication ..." pups up.
Click on "Continue",
Next dialog, click on "Permanent".
Close konqeror. Open it again, point it to the same address. Again the
dialog "server authentication ..." comes up.
Nik.

Hi,
I use gtk-qt-engine-trinity on a Debian Squeeze to have gtk-based
apps look like qt3 ones. But I encounter "repaint" issues using
some gtk based apps but not all of them. For example, iceweasel
(firefox), openoffice.org have severe bugs that make menu entries
(oo.org) or tabs to disappear (all painted in gray).
More precisely: correct graphics appears as appropriate but
disappears when the mouse leaves the graphical pane of tabs, menu
items, etc. I use iceweasel 7.0.1 and openoffice.org 3.2.1.
Is there any fix to this applicable for me?

Hi All,
Buoyed by my success building TDE on Wheezy, using the source, I thought
I'd give the latest git another try. Anyway, all goes well until
attempting to build tdebase, which fails with the following (snippet);

Anybody any ideas? I've followed the process as per the wiki pretty much
as I can so I hope I haven't missed something obvious. I'm building all
optionals, just for the halibut!

Any question is easy if you know the answer!
Hi folks
I was delighted when I heard about trinity as I still use kubuntu 8.04 and will
never, until death or even beyond, use kde4 or any other developer ego-driven
user-unfriendly DE.
I followed the instructions on the installation page:
http://trinitydesktop.org/installation.php
ubuntu section, and after installing ubuntu 11.10 on a spare partition, I
entered the commands as instructed.
Firstly, there was the known problem with the sudo command which the developers
have decided to keep a secret and not edit the installation instructions to add
3 lines of text to help the user. But I was pointed to the bug page and
followed the instructions there.
I was able to download and start trinity (v3.5.13) and as soon as I clicked on
the main menu button the system crashed and the whole panel disappeared leaving
a totally blank desktop.
Here is here I get really confused.
I did have a look at the known bugs and this seems to be a know 'solved'? bug -
I think. What is the point in having incorrect instructions to download and
install a desktop which doesn't work?
If someone said it was a joke created by the kde4 team it would make some sense,
they would be getting a laugh at someone who was looking for a real desktop
which had the end user in mind, but if this is a genuine 'alternative' then I
am at a loss as to why there is any talk of trinity desktop at all.
I do understand that the developers are busy working on R14 - the NEXT GREATEST
THING - with the WOW factor!!!! (you remember the WOW factor?) but what is the
point if the previous version doesn't work? 8:(
This seems to be exactly the same attitude towards the end user as the other DE
developers, or am I wrong? 8^}
Is there a different installation page with instructions of how to obtain a
working version of trinity? Is there a working version?
Please tell me that I am wrong about everything and there is a simple
explanation for all this. AND there is a working version! - hidden somewhere!
Or are you the kde4 team having a laugh? !!
Thanks
Lou
Slavek,
I am running 11.10 and have just updated today. I have run into some issues.
First of all, kdesktop is crashing whenever I change a setting, and the
settings don't stick. They are also not the settings I had before the
update. Also my konsole no longer is using its previous settings.
Do you have any idea?
Calvin
Just a heads-up.
Clicking "Nightly Builds" on the Trinity web site menu bar results in an SSL
Error:
"The site's security certificate is not trusted!
You attempted to reach quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net, but the server
presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your
computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its
own security credentials, which Chromium cannot rely on for identity
information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications.
You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before
for this site."
It's invoked because https is specified for access to the nightly builds; is
this necessary?
Also, I can't help thinking that an unqualified certificate is worse than
useless, so why does it even exist?
