Mirrors?
by Lisi 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Is there a problem with the mirrors? If not, what does a <quote> 403 Forbidden </quote> error mean? Are there any alternative mirrors to: 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 Thanks, Lisi

How to use Serghei's overlay?
by Tony Rein 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hello to all. I've found this overlay: https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay How do I use it within Gentoo? I've installed layman and of course "layman -L" doesn't show it. Can anyone tell me how to make its ebuilds visible? I've also tried downloading from this link: https://github.com/serghei/gentoo-trinity-overlay/zipball/master and making a local overlay, but that didn't work -- only kde4 packages showed up in emerge --search. It's possible I have something masked, but I'd think if I had the overlay set up correctly, that they would show up in the search, just marked as uninstallable. I don't need the whole TDE desktop -- I only want to get kpdf and gwenview working. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or explanations. Tony

is there a version of trinity that acually works
by Lou Gogan 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi folks I was delighted when I heard about trinity as I still use kubuntu 8.04 and will never, until death or even beyond, use kde4 or any other developer ego-driven user-unfriendly DE. I followed the instructions on the installation page: http://trinitydesktop.org/installation.php ubuntu section, and after installing ubuntu 11.10 on a spare partition, I entered the commands as instructed. Firstly, there was the known problem with the sudo command which the developers have decided to keep a secret and not edit the installation instructions to add 3 lines of text to help the user. But I was pointed to the bug page and followed the instructions there. I was able to download and start trinity (v3.5.13) and as soon as I clicked on the main menu button the system crashed and the whole panel disappeared leaving a totally blank desktop. Here is here I get really confused. I did have a look at the known bugs and this seems to be a know 'solved'? bug - I think. What is the point in having incorrect instructions to download and install a desktop which doesn't work? If someone said it was a joke created by the kde4 team it would make some sense, they would be getting a laugh at someone who was looking for a real desktop which had the end user in mind, but if this is a genuine 'alternative' then I am at a loss as to why there is any talk of trinity desktop at all. I do understand that the developers are busy working on R14 - the NEXT GREATEST THING - with the WOW factor!!!! (you remember the WOW factor?) but what is the point if the previous version doesn't work? 8:( This seems to be exactly the same attitude towards the end user as the other DE developers, or am I wrong? 8^} Is there a different installation page with instructions of how to obtain a working version of trinity? Is there a working version? Please tell me that I am wrong about everything and there is a simple explanation for all this. AND there is a working version! - hidden somewhere! Or are you the kde4 team having a laugh? !! Thanks Lou

Problem using sudo in exegnulinux_3.3_preview4
by Robert Peters 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hello, For me also, exegnulinux_3.3_preview4.iso works in live mode and installs fine. During installation I told it to not disable sudo. It asked for a user password and a root password. But now, when I try to run an admin app, such as adjust date & time, a KDE su dialog appears but doesn't accept my password. Also, when I enter a terminal sudo command, it fails saying that I am not in the sudoers file. Is there a way to correct this? Should I reinstall with the option to disable sudo? thx - Robert

latest axis update breaks settings
by Calvin Morrison 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Slavek, I am running 11.10 and have just updated today. I have run into some issues. First of all, kdesktop is crashing whenever I change a setting, and the settings don't stick. They are also not the settings I had before the update. Also my konsole no longer is using its previous settings. Do you have any idea? Calvin

SSL Error on the Trinity web site
by leee 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Just a heads-up. Clicking "Nightly Builds" on the Trinity web site menu bar results in an SSL Error: "The site's security certificate is not trusted! You attempted to reach quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may mean that the server has generated its own security credentials, which Chromium cannot rely on for identity information, or an attacker may be trying to intercept your communications. You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site." It's invoked because https is specified for access to the nightly builds; is this necessary? Also, I can't help thinking that an unqualified certificate is worse than useless, so why does it even exist? LeeE

KdeSudo password problem
by Marc Chénier 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi, I have been using TDE (now 5.13.1) with Kubuntu Oneiric for a year or so. I regularly update with adept_updater. It worked fine until my last update. But now when prompted by adept_updater for my admin privilege password, after 3 tries, I get a KdeSudo Error window saying Wrong Password. But I have not recently changed, removed or added any password. It consists of alphanumeric characters only. This same problem applies when I try to open other kde applications that require administrative powers. I urgently need your help to get my password back. I do not have this problem when I log into TDE at the beginning of a session or kmail, or when I open a superuser console from the regular console. Here is some info I can give you : $ ls -l kdesudo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55972 2011-10-26 17:24 kdesudo $ ls -l adept_updater -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1246592 2011-10-14 17:36 adept_updater $ dpkg -l | grep kdesudo ii kdesudo 3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3 sudo frontend for KDE ii kdesudo-trinity 4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1260892+pr3~oneiric sudo frontend for Trinity Thanks in advance for responding. I really appreciate TDE and all the work behind it. Marco
