KdeSudo password problem
by Marc Chénier 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi, I have been using TDE (now 5.13.1) with Kubuntu Oneiric for a year or so. I regularly update with adept_updater. It worked fine until my last update. But now when prompted by adept_updater for my admin privilege password, after 3 tries, I get a KdeSudo Error window saying Wrong Password. But I have not recently changed, removed or added any password. It consists of alphanumeric characters only. This same problem applies when I try to open other kde applications that require administrative powers. I urgently need your help to get my password back. I do not have this problem when I log into TDE at the beginning of a session or kmail, or when I open a superuser console from the regular console. Here is some info I can give you : $ ls -l kdesudo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55972 2011-10-26 17:24 kdesudo $ ls -l adept_updater -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1246592 2011-10-14 17:36 adept_updater $ dpkg -l | grep kdesudo ii kdesudo 3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3 sudo frontend for KDE ii kdesudo-trinity 4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1260892+pr3~oneiric sudo frontend for Trinity Thanks in advance for responding. I really appreciate TDE and all the work behind it. Marco

28 Jun '12

Progress so far... 1) I got the new computer running: Linux vega1 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 11 17:24:18 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux 2) I can run X ( No screen after boot! I needed to edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf to options radeon modeset=0) 3) I can run LXDE 4) http://www.trinitydesktop.org times out. So here is /etc/apt/sources.list #------------------------------- deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ wheezy main deb-src http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ wheezy main deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ squeeze main deb-src http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-nightly-builds/ubuntu/ squeeze main #------------------------------------ 5) I get the following: #--------------------- root@vega1:~>apt-get install tdebase-trinity Reading package lists...

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

X cursor
by Calvin Morrison 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Hi All, I use my laptop at work via X11 forwarding (to my main desktop which is a mac). I usually initiate a ssh session and then run: /opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded This starts a kde session without the kded daemon (which launches kicker and kdesktop and so). For some reason however my X cursor isn't set properly, and instead it's the very ugly default one (which drives me insane), instead of the one I set in kcontrol. This only happens on x11 forwarding and not on my local sessions. Anyone have any ideas? Calvin

Centos 5 update
by Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

A recent update updated lot of packages on Centos 5. Then next update try to replace x86_64 libs by i686 libs with lot of unresolved dependencies. yum check-update gives: > Obsoleting Packages > tdelibs.i686 3.5.13-9.el6.opt trinity-3.5.13-el5 > trinity-kdelibs.x86_64 3.5.13-8.el5.opt installed > tdelibs-devel.i686 3.5.13-9.el6.opt trinity-3.5.13-el5 > trinity-kdelibs-devel.x86_64 3.5.13-8.el5.opt installed Fortunately, installing tdelibs.x86_64 solves the problem. -- Philippe BOURDEU d'AGUERRE AIME - Campus de l'INSA http://www.aime-toulouse.fr/ 135 av. de Rangueil Tél +33 561 559 885 31077 TOULOUSE Cedex 4 - FRANCE Fax +33 561 559 870

problems installing trinity in oneiric - ubuntu 11.10
by Lou Gogan 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi I downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and installed it onto a spare partition. I then followed the installation outlined on the TDE website sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity after an hour of downloading kde 3.5.13 apt-get install was doing what it should have been doing BUT then I got the following error message: ~~~~~~~~~ start ~~~~~~~~ Extracting templates from packages: 100% Preconfiguring packages ... dpkg: sudo: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: ubuntu-minimal depends on sudo. gksu depends on sudo. (Reading database ... 135124 files and directories currently installed.) Removing sudo ... You have asked that the sudo package be removed, but no root password has been set. Without sudo, you may not be able to gain administrative privileges. If you would prefer to access the root account with su(1) or by logging in directly, you must set a root password with "sudo passwd". If you have arranged other means to access the root account, and you are sure this is what you want, you may bypass this check by setting an environment variable (export SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE=yes). Refusing to remove sudo. dpkg: error processing sudo (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already Errors were encountered while processing: sudo E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ~~~~~~~~~ end ~~~~~~~~ When I logged out and back in again there was no sign of Trinity or kde3 in the login menu I presume I am not the first person to have tried to install kde 3.5.13 on ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone advise me? I presume this isn't a beta version of kde3. 1. Should the installation script have attempted to remove sudo? (I'm no expert but that doesn't seem right.) 2. How can I try and start the kde desktop? 3. For future reference, if I had installed Kubuntu 11.10 instead of Ubuntu would the download of kde 3.5.13 have been any shorter? Any help would be appreciated (though for the moment I'll stick to my trusted kubuntu 8.04). Thanks Lou
