How to use Serghei's overlay?
by Tony Rein 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hello to all. I've found this overlay: https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay How do I use it within Gentoo? I've installed layman and of course "layman -L" doesn't show it. Can anyone tell me how to make its ebuilds visible? I've also tried downloading from this link: https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay/zipball/master and making a local overlay, but that didn't work -- only kde4 packages showed up in emerge --search. It's possible I have something masked, but I'd think if I had the overlay set up correctly, that they would show up in the search, just marked as uninstallable. I don't need the whole TDE desktop -- I only want to get kpdf and gwenview working. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or explanations. Tony

is there a version of trinity that acually works
by Lou Gogan 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

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

Problem using sudo in exegnulinux_3.3_preview4
by Robert Peters 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hello, For me also, exegnulinux_3.3_preview4.iso works in live mode and installs fine. During installation I told it to not disable sudo. It asked for a user password and a root password. But now, when I try to run an admin app, such as adjust date & time, a KDE su dialog appears but doesn't accept my password. Also, when I enter a terminal sudo command, it fails saying that I am not in the sudoers file. Is there a way to correct this? Should I reinstall with the option to disable sudo? thx - Robert
