I see that Trinity is this month's recipient of a Distrowatch donation ($300
USD). I think this is wonderful news, both for the money and for the
recognition.
Congrats to the Trinity team!
Best regards,
Andy
Thanks for the info. It looks like there seems to be at least a moderate if
not high demand for trinity-desktop. KDE4, Gnome 3 and Unity must have caused
a lot of resentment. It is actually sad, considering all the voluntary work
hours spent on those window managers, and the lost potential.
My biggest personal disappointments actually are KDEPIM, akonadi, nepomuk
trio, along with amarok. I am hoping to experience a back-to-home feeling with
trinity desktop on these fronts.
Regards,
Hakan

2 more (Squeeze) systems to upgrade from 3.5.12 here today. Using
official repo (not "nightly builds")
I made sure to upgrade all Debian packages first (TDE sources
temporarily disabled) and reboot. There was a recent Squeeze "point
release". One machine has nvidia.
Then (TDE sources re-enabled) used apt-get in download-only mode :
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -d
Once more:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -d
That should have shown error messages for any failed downloads (there
were not). If so I could have either waited or downloaded manually from
"nightly builds" to /var/cache/apt/archives
Then, to see if any other errors, like half the system to be removed or
packages which apt will not install:
apt-get dist-upgrade -s
Finally, when satisfied it all looks good:
(su)
/etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop
(log in to shell as root)
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
(when prompted for config file overwrites, select "install the package
maintainer's version")
/etc/init.d/kdm-trinity start
No problems at all.
Hello list,
I am currently using TDE 3.5.12 on Debian Squeeze and want to upgrade to
latest version.
Although I have added the entries from
ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net (...) trinity-v.3.5.13, I cannot
upgrade because some package seems to be missing.
Here is the output from apt-get upgrade, it contains the URL of the
package in question.
root@dannytrinity# LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 apt-get upgrade

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
If you manually browse to the folder
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/p…
you will see that it is in fact empty, so I assume its a build problem.
Please upload the new i18n package, since we want to use Trinity in the
German language.
When I hover over "System" or "Settings" in the K Menu, kicker crashes.
This bug is 100% repeatable and it happens after I've hovered over the name
long enough to invoke the displaying of the child menu.
I have a completely new install of Xubuntu 11.10, AMD64, and I am running
the nightly build of 3.5.13. I blew away my profile, so this is a squeaky
clean install.
I'd file a proper bug report, but I don't know where I get the appropriate
dump for this crash. Point me there, and I'll post it.
I made a new Squeeze/TDE-lite Live CD with 3.5.13 and all current
Squeeze updates:
http://exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/tde/
In this version are only minimal changes to TDE defaults, just a nice
(official TDE) wallpaper and a keyboard switcher on the panel .
It is a "clean" build using debootstrap and some custom scripts (not
remastersys or other utility) Everything is strictly GPL.
Included are installers for HD and USB key, a snapshot/remaster utility,
various other custom scripts, virtualbox-OSE guest support. Excellent
results here from USB key.
US/UK English and Spanish language support are preinstalled. Language
and keyboard are selectable from the boot prompt. If there is any
interest, one extra language (DE or FR ?) might just squash in to
CD-size, for a future build.
If anyone else wants to have a go at live image building, I have
deb-packaged the necessary TDE-specific live-boot and live-config
supplementary scripts.
Please note: this is *NOT* an official TDE project and is supported by
nobody except me. Unless you are feeling adventurous, please use the
official TDE installation methods. It is not properly tested, beyond
that it boots and the installer works here; some bugs will likely
surface that are not the fault of TDE !

I'm new to this mailing list thing, so forgive me if I am doing anything
wrong.
To the guy who is having trouble with his Trinity installation. From what
I've gathered on IRC and a post on the announcements mailing list it seems
that the mirrors haven't synced up. The issue seems to be related to Tim's
connection troubles around the time of release. The server was also (I
believe?) brought down to all the traffic gained from slashdot. I'm not
entirely sure on this, since I'm just someone on the same boat as you.
I did get around that specific problem by finding a different mirror
though, and downloading the .repo file from mangafrance:
http://trinity.mangafrance.com/f15/ but it's pointless because since the
mirrors haven't synced fully (From what I've gathered, I'm not sure?)
you'll get too many missing dependencies to install anything.
It's hilarious since I Jumped to Fedora 15 the moment I saw trinity was
available for it. Which is pretty funny! lol
Hi all,
I followed the instructions on the web site
(http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#redhat) to install trinity to
Fedora 15. However the command "#yum install trinity-desktop" returns the
following error message and nothing happens:
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/index.html?url=f15.repo, line: 1
'<html>\n'
There is an index.html and an index.html?url=f15.repo file in /ec/yum.repos.d
directory, and I am probably doing something wrong. Any pointer will be
greatly appreciated.

PS: A google search did not identify anybody with a similar problem.
FYI,
I have been using TDE 3.5.13 nightlies in Virtualbox, Debian Squeeze host, it was
working great,
I decided to upgrade my workstation, TDE 3.5.12 to 3.5.13, Debian Squeeze from the
nightlies server.
Failed miserably. the upgrade/install went without a hitch, but upon starting,
KDM-Trinity would crash. Never got a login scren. Removing desktop-base-trinity
made it possible to get a login screen. Logging in I get an error 'kdeinit
failed to start' so no TDE apps worked.
I run dual monitors and after the upgrade only one monitor would work. I have a
custom xorg.conf file that has been working for several releases of Debian, it
seems TDE 3.5.13 handlles X differently than 3.5.12.
All in all the most trouble I have ever had on a Debian box. I purged 3.5.13 and
re-installed 3.5.12.
In my case, I got the wrong impression from the virtualbox install.
Peace,
Greg
