That's actually a very good way: no risk loosing anything and at the same time preserve a clean environment. Of course it takes some additional time.
Another safe way is to run aptitude, upgrade the list of packages (press U) and then try to do small upgrades step by step, checking each time that there are no conflicts. In case there are some, explore the suggested possible solutions and choose the one that represent the best fit for your needs.
As for TDE 3.5.13.2 --> TDE 14.0.0 upgrade, a lot of packages have been renamed, in particular kdelibs4c2a has become tdelibs14. That means that the upgrade will have to be done as a single step.
Expect several packages to be removed and do not forget to manually select the new renamed packages to be installed if needed (ex: kdebase is now called tdebase).
Overall, I would suggest a backup and clean installed, as Michael already said.
Cheers

Hello all,
This is NOT a complain, just a question. While I'm working with a perfectly
working Wheezy + TDE, I've had the curiosity to install "Siduction", a
rolling distribution based on SID.
I've tried to install Trinity Desktop from the nightly builds (using jessie as
target distribution). desktop-base-trinity installed correctly, but
kde-trinity depends tde-trinity taht won't be installed.
My question: does this mean that Trinity and SID are incompatible (which I
would understand, given that it's impossible - and makes little sense -to
provide compatible packages) or is it one of these situations where packages
are just being (re)created for Jessie and I should try it later. ANd if so
how can I know when such a situation occurs?
Siduction is not interesting if I can't get a sensible desktop...
Regards,
Thierry

Is it possible to have yakuake start whenever a user logs on so that
the user does not have to start it from a terminal emulator when s/he
wants to use it? The colours I want it to use are green on black, but
running in a terminal emulator command "yakuake --bg black --fg green"
as specified in the manual do not produce the desired result. Yakuake
will open but with the default colours black on white.
I am presently using Debian Squeeze with KDE-Trinity, and package
yakuake-trinity.

Hello,
By installing something like Ubuntu 14.04 I can easily have a wifi
connection and even install some Trinity apps. This is by using the
most recent repos (Raring, 13.04) as instructed in
www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/UbuntuBinaryInstallation.
However, when the core TDE packages are selected (using Synaptic),
they appear as broken - missing several dependencies.
OTOH, if I try to use Ubuntu 13.04, with which I hope the Raring repos
are compatible, then I can't get a wifi connection - my machine
(Lenovo Thinkpad T440s) is too recent, and I have already gone thru
the hassle of installing firmware, drivers, etc. to no avail. It's
the same problem with Exe Gnu/Linux or a live CD Image for Ubuntu with
Trinity preinstalled.
Any ideas? For now I can use Windows or a distro without TDE. Also I
think of selling the Thinkpad and using a less demanding (and
expensive) machine.

Hi everyone!
My PCLinuxOS TDE non-official remaster version 2014, April 30 is ready to download!
I call it non-official because it doesn't come from the PCLOS team and since it contains software coming from outside of
their repos, it is also not supported by them. It only has a special ''permission to exist'' from the PCLinuxOS dev team.
It can be seen as a whole as the much-loved PCLOS 2007, but fully updated and upgraded.
It is a complete system that can be used as a LiveDVD or it can be installed (from the LiveDVD).
New on this release:
-Fully updated PCLinuxOS 2014 base system
-Based on stable TDE 3.5.13.2
-A theme switch Zenity script to let the user switch between the more modern theme I use and TDE Classic theme, to please more users.
-A SuperKaramba theme pack
-XBMC media center and wine are new apps included on the DVD
On this LiveDVD:
-Tons of TDE software and major apps like LibreOffice, Firefox and Gimp
Login info (on the LiveDVD):
Regular user:guest Password:guest
Super user: root Password:root
System requirement:
A x86 computer with at least 384mb of RAM.
It is a 32bit system, but it can be installed on a 64bit system too.

Please note that you will need to install the MEGA Download Manager Firefox (or Iceweasel) plugin to download a file of that size.
If you are unsure about itd, you can uninstall the plugin right after the download.

Hi Alexandre,
I think the issues I may have had are from the screensavers. If I let the screen timeout on it's own and just blank things seem to work OK if I activate the Screensavers doesn't seem to matter which one I pick weird things happen. Can anyone else confirm this?
I do usually use a screensaver I have two machines one I use at work for meetings and testing that runs 8 hours a day but usually only gets used a couple of hours unless I have a massive amount of meetings. The screensaver on this one is more for security so I can lock the screen. The other is used at home ( it is a larger unit don't like to carry it around ) usually that gets used an hour to three a night 5 days a week and shut off each day. On the weekends I usually leave this machine on all day so I can use it whenever I want without having to wait for it to boot, so I usually leave a screensaver on that one as well but not usually locked.
Both machines are Intel CPU's with Intel graphics. I believe both are based on the Sandy bridge chip set.
I will continue to test and see what I can find. Overall the new version is very nice.
