[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 05 Nov '11

05 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 05 Nov '11

05 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

[trinity-users] Graphical logout drops to shell (no kdm)
by David Hare 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Firstly, congratulations Trinity team for the new release! Using newest 3.5.13, on Squeeze with all latest updates, installed on 3 machines here as well as virtualbox setups. On one machine's HD install (quite old SIS graphics) and on all using virtualbox OSE : After logout from graphical screen the shell appears, no kdm greeter. I must login as root and do </etc/init.d/kdm-trinity reload> to get a login screen. <ps ax> shows kdm still running. It doesn't happen with HD install on one machine with Intel and one with nvidia graphics. It did not happen with 3.5.12 anywhere. I have found a workaround by uncommenting the line "TerminateServer=true" in /etc/trinity/kdm/kdmrc Anyone else getting this? Bug? Regards, David

Nightly Builds, Ubuntu Natty, dead in water
by Laws, Peter C. 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Update went OK with no errors seen. However, since rebooting, I have mouse control, the desktop clock is running, but I can do nothing. I'\ can read mail on my Mac, but I really need for this to be running. Any ideas? I'm sshed in so can grab logs if needed (though I don't really see anything glaring). Help? -- Peter Laws / N5UWY

[trinity-users] 3.5.13 : Use of gksu or sux causes klauncher crash
by David Hare 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

3.5.13 is now working fine (so far) with kdesu. Thanks Trinity team for dealing with bugs 394/451. There is still an issue (here at least) with some apps, usually gtk, that use by default "gksu" (e.g. gparted) or "su-to-root -X -c command" (many of my custom scripts) Synaptic is ok, it already has a .desktop file for kde The problem is just like before, e.g. "klauncher could not be reached via dcop" requiring relogin or to call kdeinit in a terminal (if you can get one) This is however minor and easily fixable compared to 3.5.12, where sudo was mandatory by default (unacceptable for many Debian users) I note also, <sux> still causes similar errors (worked in kde 3.5.9/10 in Debian Lenny) Workaround, if affected: Change relevant .desktop files to include "X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true" OR using kmenuedit tick "run as different user" OR just call <kdesu rootappname> in terminal or run box. Don't use "sux". Check your custom apps/scripts. Regards, David

Please integrate Trinity into Linux distros
by Alexey Eromenko 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

I'd like to request you VERY much to integrate your work into major Linux distros (Red Hat/Debian/Ubuntu/openSUSE). Since you already have debs/rpms ready, it should not be too hard. (For me, of particular importance is future Debian 7.0 "wheezy") -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
