After a long delay, automated nightly builds of Ubuntu LiveCDs with TDE
R14 are now available at
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/cdimages/ubuntu/
These LiveCDs offer a convenient way to test TDE R14 (or the current
development branch) without risk of damaging your existing installation.
They are currently experimental, however shortly after R14 is released an
official LiveCD will be released from this autogenerated CD set.
Therefore, if you want to help the offical LiveCD quality, please download
the latest ISO, test it, and report any defects to the bugtracker.
Enjoy!

I have run TDE in Sid before with good success.
At the moment it will not install because of newer binutils (which will
probably appear in Jessie very soon). Most likely an existing TDE will
break on dist-upgrade
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
> kdesktop-trinity : Depends: binutils (< 2.23) but 2.23.52.20130612-1
> is to be installed
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
> libr0 : Depends: binutils (< 2.23) but 2.23.52.20130612-1 is to be
> installed
Downgrading binutils causes lots of other things to be removed.
This is the case with 3.5.13.2 also nightly builds (R14)
Any solutions?

Hi Trinity fans,
I recently upgraded my Ubuntu system to "precise". Thereby package kde-guidance-powermanager-trinity got removed, because it depends on python-qt3 which is not available in precise. So I lost my battery charging information in the system tray.
Does anybody know a good alternative for this icon? Any program that provides a tray icon that can be used in the kicker?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Stefan
I have a short question: when can we expect Trinity repostories for Debian Wheezy? Will there be a
repo for R13.1 or will we have to wait for release of R14?

greetings.
i was given a used but fairly recent (though it still said "ibm"
not "lenovo") desktop machine with a 1024x768 lcd, which i thought i
would fix up for a disabled neighbor. it has XP on it, but my
neighbor used to program in C and so i thought i'd make it a
dual-boot machine. it has two 3gHz pentium processors and a batch of
memory. it's old enough that i figured i'd put trinity-ubuntu 10.10
on it. i boot from the CD, and i get the usual dab of text messages
during boot, but then -- nothing. screen goes and stays dark, in
auto-sleep. machine and monitor work fine on windows side, but i
can't get trinity to install. i can go ahead and give it to him with
windows, but would rather offer both, because he'll like linux
better.
ideas?

The shortest distance between you and great fingerstyle
guitar playing? The new instructional DVDs from Marjorie

hello, good people.
this is not a new issue, but it's a continually annoying one, so i
thought i'd bring it up in case someone knows an easy fix.
i am here at the office running a thinkpad in a docking station, with
external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. the keyboard is attached via a
usb adapter and mostly works fine.
when i use a plain old bog standard keyboard, all is well but for the
fact that every so often, unpredictably as far as i can tell, it
stops accepting input and the keyboard lights flash for a couple
seconds, then it works again just fine. any characters typed in
during that period, though, are lost.
this is not a problem when i use a trusty old ibm model m keyboard.
here, the issue is different. as long as i'm in console mode, no X or
framebuffer or anything running, all is well. but when X starts, no
keyboard input is accepted unless and until i unplug the keyboard and
plug it back in. then all is well. this is consistent across several
model m keyboards i have tried, so it's not a keyboard or cord issue.
something happens when it goes into graphical mode that makes it
think it doesn't have a keyboard.
i suspect that there is a configuration switch somewhere that will fix
this, but i can't find it. anyone know?
thanks, and i hope this wasn't terribly o/t.

TDE 3.5.13.2 Wheezy amd64
I reply to an email, I use 'smart quoting'
Actually editing new emails same issue.
Highlighting text to be deleted does not work reliably... the
hightlighted text does not stay hightlighted. It takes a few tries to
get the text to stay highlighted so I can delete it, very annoying.
Anyone else see this behavior?

Hi,
I'd like to use ssh-agent with Trinity, but I can't figure out how to do it. Right now I'm running
ssh-add manually to unlock the keys after logging in. What I would like to have is typying the
ssh passphrase the first time it is required and have that passphrase unlock the keys in
ssh-agent). How could I do that?
Janek
All,
Due to scheduled maintenance, all TDE services will be either fully
unavailable or partially offline starting late 05/17/2013. Planned
service restoration date is 05/18/2013.
Thank you for your patience,
Timothy Pearson
Trinity Desktop Project
Hi all!
I just came around an anoying xdg issue:
$ xdg-open justapdf.pdf
This opens a pdf, but with Gimp! I fiddeled around with gimp.desktop without
success. I fiddeled around with xdg-mime without success:
$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
/opt/trinity/share/applications/kde/kpdf.desktop
but it opens gimp.
IMO xdg-* is quite broken. :-(
Now the only workaround I came up with is setting the environment variabe DE
to kde:
export DE=kde
Then xdg-open uses kfmclient and that calles the kpdf.
Now, would it be possibel to let TDE set that variable by default or am I
missing a vital point?
Nik
