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.

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
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
Today, yum update gives a lot of updates for trinity. But it ends with a
libxine dependency trouble:
