i386 on Fedora 15?
by e_vera＠lavabit.com 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

So, I keep checking the two most easily reachable mirrors (uidaho, and mangafrance) and I notice they both have 64 bit binaries yet neither had 32 bit ones. :/ Yet I do see a folder labeled 'i386' I am wondering what's taking so long with the 32 bit binaries? o.O Kind of bothersome I moved to fedora the moment I saw it was available... lol Hope that wasn't too rude to ask either...

Congratulations for Distrowatch donation!

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

Re: [trinity-users] RE: cannot install to Fedora 15

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.

[trinity-users] Squeeze/TDE3.5.13 - Successful upgrade
by David Hare 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

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.

Package missing: kde-i18n-de-trinity
by Danny B. Edel 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages have been kept back: gwenview-trinity k3b-data-trinity k3b-trinity libk3b3-trinity The following packages will be upgraded: amarok-common-trinity amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity arts-trinity hal-trinity kde-i18n-de-trinity libakode2 libarts1c2a-trinity libartsc0-trinity libk3b3-extracodecs-trinity 10 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

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.

Kicker crashes when I hover over "System" or "Settings"
by Corey McGuire 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

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.

[trinity-users] Squeeze/TDE3.5.13 Live CD
by David Hare 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

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 ! Regards David

RE: cannot install to Fedora 15
by e_vera＠lavabit.com 06 Nov '11

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

cannot install to Fedora 15
by E. Hakan Duran 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

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. Hakan PS: A google search did not identify anybody with a similar problem.

TDE 3..5.13 failed upgrade
by Greg Madden 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

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
