According to: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds
I should do :
apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668
In order to get the Debian Stretch version installed.
But the message I get when trying this is:
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.NclvApGG4K/gpg.1.sh --keyserver
keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available
Any suggestions?
cheers

this Asus is set up in UEFI.
I'm considering installing Windows 7 and get the impression it needs
CSM (or 'Legacy').
if I change the setting to CSM, will that incur loss of data?

All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected,
so there's still hope.
There's no official trinity on
launchpad and github ppa/sources?
there is something on launchpad,
but not the actuall desktop.
I think it would be a very good idea for the
project to be there, just for the extra
exposure. A lot of developers are already
there. They can stumble on trinity just by
searching something else. Or users stumbling
on it. It seams good advertisement for the
project...

Thanks to Slávek, I've just had the least-painful system upgrade in the
(heavens! can it be?) 20 years I've run Linux exclusively. It wasn't
totally trouble-free, but it was less awful than I usually encounter.
But now I'm encountering a problem that is annoying: menus in Firefox and
some other applications are reversed, white text on black background.
Any quick and easy fix? Am running 14.04 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and preparing to
revel in the new features everyone else has had for three years . . .).
Thanks again.

well. in kcontrol > Appearance & Themes > GTK Styles and Fonts it's
possible to employ different themes for GTK2 and GTK3 applications, and
this fixes the menu color problem.
What I haven't been able to fix is the tiny fonts problem in TDE
applications. Additionally, my cursor, in all its variants, has become
*huge.*
Very strange indeed. And it came about from first unchecking and then
rechecking Appearance & Themes > Colors > Apply colors to non-TDE
applications.
How can this be?

greetings . . .
i've about concluded that i absolutely must upgrade my linux/tde install.
i'm currently running 14.04 atop ubuntu 1204-LTS, which is at its end.
hypothetically i should be able to do use ubuntu's system upgrade tool and
all would be well in moving me from 1204 to 1404; i would not have to
reinstall everything from scratch. but no. it throws this error:
[quote]
Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
[/quote]
looking in /var/log/dist-upgrade, i find this error:
[quote
ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked
for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'
[/quote]
for some reason i must have added it to that blacklist, but truth be known
i do not remember having done so or even the existence of such a
blacklist, never mind how to add or delete something to or from it.
so, am wondering if there is a way around this that wouldn't (as it appears
would happen here anyway) nuke my TDE install.
am i missing something obvious? do i want to d/l and install a TDE image
and, if so, can i do an upgrade (rather than wipe and reinstall) from
that?
thanks in advance

greets!
yrs ago I thought BIOS was mysterious; I didn't anticipate UEFI!
was travelling, my SSD collapsed - dead - and I had to get another and
get Linux installed fast. put Kubuntu on; back home added tde.
I just resized the partition and added another ext4 with exegnu
installed but I installed the loader to the partition, fearing to
touch /boot/efi.
so there's boot/efi on sda1, kubuntu on sda2 and exegnu on sda3.
there's some crap in my efi because of other misadventures but the
important thing now is I can boot into kubuntu, what do I do so I can
put into exegnu also?
is it simply a matter of grub-install? other magic?
my ultimate goal is to remove kubuntu and install Windows 7 with
exegnu as the default boot.
