Hi !
I've installed trinity today for the first time.
Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably
lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple
of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is:
Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE
settings directory?
Thanks !

I am still having problems getting KMail to use my data from before my
desktop died.
I have now successfully copied an intact copy of the Mail folder
~/Mail) from a backup to my present setup. I have checked, and my
folders and emails at least are there.
But KMail won't use them/doesn't see them. This is the method I have
always used before, that has always worked before. I am desperate to
be able to use KMail again, but daren't just set it up because I am
then going to be faced with losing everything that I do now, if I ever
succeed in restoring the stuff from the past.
I thought of purging and reinstalling KMail and starting again, but
that would remove 383 packages, and I am somewhat chary therefore of
doing it.
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail in the new set-up has:
file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/drafts
file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.drafts.index

file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index
file:///home/lisi/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/.trash.index.ids
There is now no error message about indices, but it looks to me as
though this directory is at the root of the problem.
I have renamed it and started KMail, and it just regenerates it the
same, and still doesn't use the available data, but kmail gives:

Help!! I really need my KMail stuff! How do I persuade KMail to use it?

I just installed TDE 3.5.15 on a fresh wheezy box (T61p, kernel 3.*, nvidia
drivers). Funny thing, anything worked, after I got rid of all KDE4 libs
which caused a blue screen with cursor after login otherwise.
The only issue I did not find a reason for is that
$HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs gets overwritten with all folders set to $HOME:
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME"
So this causes TDE to assume the desktop folder is the useres home directory.
I can change that dir to "$HOME/Desktop" and apply the immutable flag to the
file to prevent it beeing overwritten at login - the fiole is overwritten at
each login somewhere before TDE reads it.
Now my question is, what when why is this file written? It's a bit anoying
when you stumble upon that problem :-)

3.5.13 on Xubuntu Oneiric. All other menus work, but as soon as I go to
Settings or System, kicker crashes. Also crashes when I use the menu
search, but I suspect it's because it hits one of those two menus.
Anyone else having this problem?

Great work!
I loved KDE 2 in it's time, loved KDE 3, and I'm sure I will love Trinity.
I just installed it in my Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) and its works flawlessly (until now) and extremely fast!
I got a screenshot and maybe someone can put it on the website.
In the future I will try to work fixing bugs.
For now I need to finish my BS. in Computer Science...

Hello,
I think another thing on all of our minds should be towards dealing with
the problems related to sudo. As we know not all distros support it, and
also removing sudo in cases can remove the entire trinity install, wreak
havoc and other terrible things.
Do we have a plan for this? Tim what needs to be done?

I was curious if anyone has run into this odd situation...
I have Ubuntu and Kubuntu, and when I install TDE some parts in the
systemsettings panel wont work properly, but when I install TDE on its
own, those parts work. So I know its an issue with the other desktops
"stealing" control is all. But this is my oddity.. I decided to see what
Debian is about right. I installed it, and then I installed TDE. For
some reason the systemsettings program didnt download. No biggie I found
it in the repositories and installed it. But then I found that several
options that should be in there are not. For simplicities sake I will
name them off as a list:
1. Disks and Filesystems
2. User management
3. WINE configurator
4. System services
I was wondering if there is a way to like, bring those modules in? I
havent ever seen them just not be there before. Could it be an issue
with Debian installing GNOME?
