Hello
Now that R14 is released, I presume that the installation (for example
for Ubuntu 14.04) are similar to the one found
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall
However I propose to add the R14 instructions if possible.

Hi Guys, David,
I've downloaded and burnt a CD from exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso. Its
fine, checksum matches. So I thought that I would try it as a live
CD on this, my usual machine.
The CD boots up as I would expect except for a couple of things.
After all the boot process, I'm left with a text screen with a list
of boot processes, which never finishes. The last item refers to
IPV6 and a blank line. Pressing enter gives me a prompt at which if
I enter "startx" takes me to a totally black screen. I minute later
I get the start screen for "exegnu" as a panel in the top left corner
of the screen. After this screen has finished I'm left with the
normal taskbar at the bottom and a totally black background.
I cannot get anything from any mouse button on this background, I can
however access items from the normal menu and the icons on the
taskbar. Locating the screen menu items, whilst it allows me to go
through the settings, does nothing. Curiously the "Scan rate" box
shows zero and is not changable.
Everything else seems to function as I would expect.
The machine is a 3Ghz intel P4 dual core, 1.5Gb ram, on board 64Mb SIS
661 Graphics, SIS 661FX chipset, SIS 7012 sound, SIS 900 Ethernet.
HTH.

Hi,
I'm thinking about making a Trinity Raspberry Pi image based on Raspbian, mostly because I don't see feature-full ready-to-use images avilable for the Raspberry Pi. All of the available images are very minimal and need some work to get to something interesting. I'm thinking about having all the regular common-use Linux software such as LibreOffice and Firefox, with a full-feature TDE desktop environment.
So, I'd like to know if there would be some interest in it, if it worth doing it.
Also, how many persons here have a Pi?
Thank you!

All,
In response the flood of reported issues pertaining to the TDE mirror
system and Debian/Ubuntu update failures I have re-designed the TDE
content distribution system.
You should notice far fewer, if any, outright 404 failures and/or package
inconsistencies. The bad news is that relatively new files are being
transferred straight from the TDE servers and you will notice a severely
throttled download speed for those files. However, in light of the issues
being reported with the previous system this small disadvantage seems far
preferable.
Debian/Ubuntu users, please test and report back.
Thanks!
Tim

A new (experimental) Exe GNU/Linux version exegnu-jessv-20141109.iso is
available.
It is current TDE R14 on (mostly current and original) Debian Jessie.
All *systemd* packages are excluded using /etc/apt/preferences.
Recompiled (without *systemd*) libpulse0 (mplayer dep) and dbus are
used. Cups version is pinned to 1.7.1-5.
A few important packages may be missing or not working properly. There
is only me to test it so far, any help appreciated. Updates will follow.
http://exegnulinux.net/downloads/jessie/
I know this is off-topic, but some people have expressed extremely
strong opinions about systemd. I haven't been following all the posts on
that, so I hope this doesn't duplicate what has already been said, but
here is an article by the author of an alternative to systemd,
"uselessd".

Hello all,
Today I installed two versions of LO (4.3.4 at first, 4.2.7 later) on
openSUSE+TDE 3.5.13.2 ; I have 4.2.5 running with no problem on a similar
setup (albeit on another hardware).
The problem is that when I try to install extensions LO freezes. I first
thought it might be a problem of the latest version, that's why I tried
4.2.x, but no change.
I then tried running it as root, same thing.
In the end I read the crash message better (when it announced the install
dialog had terminated) and noticed it talked about "KDE File Picker".
I do have the basic components of KDE 4 installed (pulled in by some
dependencies) but not the DE. I switched back to XFCE, started LO and
installed the extensions with no problem.
Back in TDE I can use the extensions. So this File Picker the culprit.
Obviously LO can "see" when "KDE" is running, and uses another "file picker"
if not.
Is it trying to run a KDE 4 element under TDE, and crashed? Is it trying to
use some TDE software but does not manage it? Maybe when everything is
renamed "TDE" this sort of situation will be easier to debug.
Thinking about my workaround, I remembered a setup point in options/general
that offers to "Use LibreOffice dialogue boxes". Selecting that cures the
problem. But it does not tell me if this is a TDE or KDE issue.

Hello
I did what I announced in my previous email:
Purged and reinstalled everything but again kdeinit is not installed so
TDE is not working.
The odd thing is no error message ..
Any ideas?
