Installing Trinity on Squeeze: problem with recommends
by Lisi 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello all :-) I am doing a fresh install of Trinity, on a fresh install of Debian Squeeze, which so far has no GUI installed. After I issue: aptitude install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity I get a list of 165 recommends and the question: do you accept this solution? Well, I think that there are 165, but the first that I can currently see is number 147. Having dismally failed to find a way to see what I am being asked to agree to, I decided to accept all recommends, which might at least reduce the number of things on the screen and let me see what else, if anything, aptitude is telling me. (Oh, I do miss konsole!) So I did: aptitude -r install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity That made no difference at all. Still a problem, still 165 recommends (as far as I can see), still: do you accept this solution? And I still don't know what "solution" it is recommending. It might be suggesting _removing_ 165 packages. So, in case I had gone bonkers and got the order wrong I tried: aptitude install -r desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity Same result. :-( I am fresh out of ideas. I have had enough physical problems building this computer, without software problems as well. :-( Help! (And thank you, of course) Lisi

Kmail in TrinityDE 3.5.12, restoring from KDE 3.5.10
by Lisi Reisz 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

I am restoring my KMail details from Lenny with KDE 3.5.10 to Squeeze with TDE 3.5.13, patched with Slávek's patches. I have copied .kde/share/apps/kmail from my backup to .trinity/share/apps/kmail. It wasn't a success. The klauncher didn't do anything. (At least, it probably did, but I have no way of knowing what!!) I then launched it by various methods, which are self explanatory. Finally, I launched it from the menu, and got the backtrace (or lack of it) below. It's pretty obvious that I have copied something across during the restauration that has gummed up the works. But how do I find out what? Or should I simply delete all the files that are there and start again, but if so, how? I gummed up kdm-trinity as well, but have managed to sort that out via Google. This one I am failing with. Once I get this installation going I'll try to be trouble-free, or at least quiet, for some time! :-( root@Tux-II:/home/lisi# kmail Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended.

This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

A general question about Trinity
by Janek S. 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Dear list, Yesterday I decided to install latest openSUSE (12.2) on one of my laptops. Suse provides KDE3 repositories, though I know not everything went smooth with these builds in the past. I started in the morning and after spending whole day on installing, configuring and solving problems I realized that I'm not even halfway finished! The problem is that KDE3 is not being updated to work with some system services and thus many features just don't work out of the box, e.g. unmounting of auto-mounted drives or adding new internet connections to NetworkManager (I suspect polkit to be the culprit). In desperation I installed KDE4, since I need a working computer, but now I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I am considering switching to Debian or Ubuntu (though there are no packages for 12.04 LTS!) so I can install Trinity. I am worried however that I might encounter similar problems as with KDE. So my big question is: does Trinity provide all these basic fetures like automounting, network management etc. out-of-the-box or does it require to spend a lot of time to configure the system? Jan

kmail index?
by Dexter Filmore 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

I can't find the kmail indexes neither in share/apps/kmail nor in the data dir I confed. KMail itself works, but where is the index? Got a nasty mail stuck in main dir. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

Recommended upgrade path?
by Laws, Peter C. 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

I have a system at home running Kubuntu 10.10 (maverick) running Trinity before it was actually Trinity (3.5.12 - packages are all *-kde3). What is the best way to update this to a more modern version of Ubuntu, say 12.04 LTS? Same question for my work system, but it's at 11.04/Natty Narwhal with Trinity 3.5.13. My days as a Solaris admin tell me (scream at me) "don't do an upgrade, do a fresh install!", but I think I'd rather not. -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws(a)ou.edu (Remote) College of Architecture, Regional and City Planning, MRCP '16

Simple kmail reset?
by ant 26 Sep '12

26 Sep '12

My parents, who are a bit visually impaired (and in their 90s), have managed (somehow) to wipe out some bits of kmail, probably by dragging bits of window edges around. It's a bit difficult to discover, because I can't easily get to their computer, because they live a long way away, so any reset instructions will have to be given by telephone. Is there any easy way (see above) of setting kmail back to its default appearance without losing settings such as server type/passwords/filters? Since they are using imap, I guess that folder lists will be ok. cheers ant -- Sent from my linux system running Debian 6, desktop trinity-KDE. This email is plain text, not HTML.

Trinity not shutting down properly
by Lisi 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Trinity on my new box sometimes starts shutting down and then hangs. I have tried giving it time, but once it has hung, I can leave it for several hours without movement. The file system does not appreciate it whne I use the on/off button or the reset button. My system is: Debian Squeeze Trinity 3.5.13 with Slavek's patches GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard / on 64 GB SATA SSD /home on SATA 2TB drive Where do I go from here? Thanks, Lisi
