Minimal install of TDE
by Michael . 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

I'm about to start on making a live version of a minimal install of TDE for Cobber (Australasian Debian). I am wondering what are the absolute minimum packages required for a working TDE without applications. The intent behind the minimal install is to allow end users who want to choose the applications in their install to install only what they need and want. I will provide synaptic (or a TDE equivalent) for those who want a gui for package selection but there will be no office suite, games, graphics tools, music or video tools. In other words all I want is the visible desktop, menu etc so that the user can navigate enough to install more applications through their internet connection using either synaptic or a terminal. Cheers. Michael.

systemd and sysvinit, a question
by Lisi Reisz 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Since this list seems prepared to stick to logic, facts and solutions, rather than heat and emotion, perhaps some kind soul would answer a question for me. I have no opinion on init systems. I accept what I am given and am grateful, but .... If sysvinit is as staggerigly marvellous as it is being painted by some, and if it was such a near thing that it got dropped as the Debian default init system, how come the vote was apparently between Upstart and systemd? And given that it was a vote between Upstart and systemd, why are some people so up in arms and ranting that sysvinit was dropped by a meaningless margin? (The chairman's casting vote.) When and how was the decison to drop sysvinit as the Debian default init system actually taken? Lisi

Wheezy upgrade to R14
by Greg Madden 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Went for it, upgrades main workstation,,whew... a couple of issues. Wheezy amd64, TDE 3.5.13.2 > http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb/dists/wheezy/deps-r14 I used 'apt-get dist-upgrade', went without a hitch. Issue: when I log in, a dialog box pops up for a locked session, need password. I get from 3-6 of these dialogs on each login, I usually do not shut my box down..minor anoyance , definately not locked sessions, or screensavers... would like to know how to get rid of these. I use the 'adept-notifier' icon in the system tray. The icon no longer, it used to, changes to green after a update. A restart of the session will remedy this, do not want shut everything down to fix issues with desktops. Love kdepim..it is the app that keeps me hooked on Trinity, not feeling the love for kpdf & gwenview. -- Peace, Greg

can't install k9copy-trinity from nightly build repository
by Ilya Dogolazky 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Hi ! I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Jessie. As I tried to install k9copy program, apt-get complained about dependency on "mencoder" The package "mencoder" doesn't seem to be available in jessie. Any idea how to solve it? Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file ----8<---- deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/d… jessie main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-de… jessie main ----8<---- Here is the output of apt-get install command: ----8<---- root@tuoni:~# apt-get install k9copy-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: k9copy-trinity : Depends: mencoder but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ----8<---- Cheers, Ilya Dogolazky

For the records: Deepin Linux + TDE
by Thierry de Coulon 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hello all, A magazine I was reading talked about Deepin Linux ( a chinese Ubuntu derivative with an HTML 5 desktop environment). As the last Deepin is based on Trusty, I've installed it and then used Slavek's repositories to install R.14 on it: it works perfectly. Their native DE get's removed in the porcess and Deepin's own applications are not really great IMHO, so all thsi may be without real use, but TDE on Deepin works. I have to understand how to tweak Ubuntu to revert from using sudo to using root if I want to continue using this istall though... Thierry

Jessie + R14
by Dr. Nikolaus Klepp 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi! I just finished testing jessie + R14 fom Slávek repo. Things look really good, including the new color scheme :-) There are only 2 things I found: - some minor translation issues (some text elements are not translated). - Configuration of "LID close" is ignored: the screen is always locked ( i.e. the user has to enter his password) after opening the lid. Looks like the settings to do nothing on "LIC close" are somehow ignored. Good work! Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA.

Trinity on a Mint base?
by Robert Peters 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Something somewhat similar to the Kubuntu 14.04 problem - a few months ago I did a fresh install of Mint (Debian Mate) in order to have its wifi functionality. Then installed TDE base and several useful packages, which work. Later I installed TDM and other packages it seemed to need and chose TDM as the login mechanism. During login using TDM, the list of available sessions doesn't include TDE, and the subsequent desktop is still Mint. So maybe I missed some packages or configuration? Robert
