Install fails on Ubuntu 12.04
by westbound＠gmx.net 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

As the subject says, I can't seem to install TDE on Ubuntu 12.04. One of the last messages while installing is this: "Setting up kde-guidance-trinity (4:3.5.13-1ubuntu0+ax0~precise) ... Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/displayconfig-hwprobe.py ... update-rc.d: warning: kde-guidance-trinity start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5) update-rc.d: warning: kde-guidance-trinity stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1) usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK] update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] . update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5] -n: not really -f: force The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future." During install I chose kdm over lightdm. I can login ok, but I still get the Unity desktop. What can I do to rectify this? Thanks for any hints, Mike

A functional TDE distribution...
by Patrick Serru 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Hello all, I use OSS 11.1 + KDE3.5.12, installed from a live CD. The motherboard of the computer is based on an AMD 64-bit, and has about 6 years of age. My recent installation attempts are - OSS 12.1 + KDE3 - OSS 12.2 Minimum, - Exegnulinux_3.3. All have failed. All seem to have problems with the configuration screen: can not use the screen in 1280x1024 resolution (graphics card is ATI 350AV [Radeon 9600])! I remember trying with almost complete success, a UBUNTU + Trinity (dated March 2011). It came to use 100% CPU for no reason, and that research in files on disk 500GB were going badly with Konqueror. I left it when I found the Live CD 11.1+kde3 (I am still using). Westurday morning, I tried exegnulinux_3.3. I did not succeed. A 1360x768 screen has been proposed (not 1380, but 1360!), Then, once in this mode and after restarting the configuration tool, a 1380x1024 screen, but can not complete the setting because the "configuration tool work in graphical mode and if you stop the monitor or the card, this tool can not work "or something like that! In addition, the installation on a USB key failed. The last distribution tryed (just now) was Fedora-17 (07/2012), a live TDE CD that is doing the best by far. But here, at the time of installation: - Unable to change (select any other) disk to install the boot loader - Can not format in an other format than ext4 (no ReiserFS). - Alert at end of installation: "Can not install the boot loader". The cd that I used to boot one of my systems using GRUB1 do not know Ext4. Consequently to boot Fedora is IMPOSSIBLE! Finally, I feel very overtaken by my readings in this list for the USERS, which speaks so much of INSTALLATION SCRIPTS. And if I well understand, a lot of things changed in Linux: XWindow, SytV init, Grub, give up of reiserfs for Ext4, KDE4 & Gnome3, sound system, etc, etc... My question is: OpenSuse is now made so low that I MUST DROP this distribution. Direct me to what? Thank you very much for your work and help.

Trinity packages for PCLinuxOS 2012
by Alexandre Couture 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello everyone, I tried the Fedora LiveCD and I am very impressed with it. I would like to install TDE on my PCLinuxOS 2012 system to make a remaster that use TDE. With proper mods, it can look almost as good as KDE4 while being so much faster and using less memory. By using oxygen icon theme and similar color theme, with the new Ubuntu font, as in PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE edition, it looks awesome! It would be very appreciated to have packages for PCLinuxOS. Thank you for making KDE3 living again! -Alex

Trinity sources moved?
by Ken Heard 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I want to install TDE in a Debian Squeeze OS. In file /etc/apt/sources.list I copied the four lines for Squeeze listed in the following URL: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/DebianBinaryInsta… to wit (all four sources on one line in sources.list): deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main I then added the GPG signing key and finally ran "apt-get update". The response for all four sources was the same: "W: Failed to fetch ... 301 Moved Permanently" Where have they been moved to?

Trinity seems to have a brighter future than KDE3**. I would go back if the development team released a OSS version 10.4 with KDE3.5.12 (12 or more)... Saw the leaders of the KDE team, this is not possible **without a murder or two! It would be a little spit on Trinity, which the development team will certainly expand, I guess. Thank you for the offer, Mark, it's nice of you.

Making a dual monitor setting in Kcontrol endure
by Lisi Reisz 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

Yet another computer in the house having died, I have temporarily set my husband up using my netbook with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, running Squeeze with Trinity 3.10.13.1. A single screen is set up that displays on both monitors the same. This is unusable on the monitor. I can find no way of setting two different settings. The screen number control is greyed out. So I use KContriol to set up a better resolution and sync rate, which necessarily sets itself up on both. Except that the netbook screen goes on strike and goes blank. This suits me fine! But, although I have set this up in KControl, every time my husband reboots, I have to set the monitor up for him again. He is forgetting even those computer skills that I had managed to teach him. I haven't a hope of teaching him how to use KControl for himself. Help! When I have finished the course I am doing, I shall set him up properly. But that is not until December. I need to limp him through now. So is there any way I can persuade Trinity to keep the settings in KControl?? Thanks, Lisi

apt-get update query

Trying to load 3.5.13.1 on a friends machine so add deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main to sources.list then apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 goes on OK then apt-get update shows the other repositories but not any trinty ones. Installation does not work Other machines with Trinity loaded do not show Trinity repositories although they do show new Trinity stuff with apt-get upgrade and Synaptic. Any ideas? John Campbell
