Trinity on newer Dell
by Peter Laws 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

Haven't been having luck with a new Dell Precision T5500n (2 x dualcore "E5503" and 12 GB RAM). The problem seems to be the ATI FirePro V7800 card. I can install Ubuntu Natty on it no problem. However, when I try to load the preconfigured Trinity/Maverick disc, I get the little "keyboard = human" screen and can escape to the menu, but when I try to "try Kubuntu without installing" I get the Kubuntu logo with the progress dots ... then nothing. In fact, nothing with the monitor icon indicating that the display lost the signal. Can I install the Trinity packages onto an Ubuntu Natty installation instead?

At this point fixing it is a low priority, as the cause of the problem is buried deep within complex auto-signing code that is broken on this repository only. The official release repository works correctly as far as signing is concerned. > Thanks, Tim, for not forcing me (and the rest of us) to have to make a > new desktop layout just because KDE4 is "better" in some programmer's > mind.

You are more than welcome! :-) Of course at this point other members of the Trinity development team deserve some of the credit as well, especially Serghei Amelian, whose work was instrumental in getting the core system to compile on modern Linux distributions.

Can't install Trinity nightly builds on lucid - Missing "ttf-bitsream-vera"
by Schreiberstein 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hello! :-) I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit Alternate (command line only) and I'd like to install Trinity's nightly builds on it. But I can't install them because of a missing dependency : ttf-bitstream-vera. ttf-bitstream-vera is included in hardy, maverick, natty and oneiric, but not in lucid. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera) Output : -------- alex@schreiberstein:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity ... The following packages have unmet dependencies: kubuntu-desktop-trinity: Depends: ttf-bitstream-vera but it is not installable Recommends: kubuntu-docs-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: networkstatus-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: openoffice.org-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: skim but it is not going to be installed Recommends: system-config-printer-kde-trinity but it is not installable Recommends: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo-trinity but it is not installable E: Broken packages -------- Could you please fix it? btw. Trinity ROCKS! It's soo amazing! Thanks for keeping KDE3 alive!! Greetings from germany : Alex

Will I get all my old window layout, etc, back? If you move .kde (or .kde3 depending on if you were using an early version of Trinity on the old box) to .trinity after you tar up the old box, then yes. > > Also, in previous incarnations, there was usually a fight on installation with the X-config stuff to get both displays to work.

If your card supports XRandr 1.3 or above (i.e. pretty much anything except the nVidia proprietary drivers) you can try the new Monitor & Display utility in the control panel. Tim

Detecting QT-Version of Trinity
by Rolf Schmidt 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hello Trinity team. First of all, I would like to thank you for your excellent work and secondly I would ask for a hint with qt-creator. Qt-Creator is, may be you know, an execellent IDE not only for developing QT applications. Yesterday I updated my Qt-Creater from version 2.2.0 to 2.3.0. When start the program from a shell, I can see a message which say some thing like "can't determine QT version" and the program ended imedeatedly, if the program is started in a Trinity environment. If the X server is forwarded - using "ssh -Y" - the program starts in a KDE 3.5 (Debian Lenny) environment without problems. At least my question is, does someone know how the QT version can be detected and has something changed in Trinity. May be, that Nokia i.e. the programm does not accept version 3.5.11 because it is not an official release. Thanks for your help and/or ideas Rolf

KDE3.5.10 from Debian had a PDF preview in Konqueror. Is there such a thing in Trinity, too? If yes, how do I activate it? Nik -- Mag. Dr. Nikolaus Klepp Einnehmerstraße 14 A-4810 Gmunden Tel.: +43 650 82 11 724 email: office(a)klepp.biz

kdesu in Trinity
by Lisi 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

I have TDE running on Squeeze. I need to run wireshark as root. Can I? Or have I hit a fatal flaw in Trinity? :-( I.e. has anyone got a viable workaround for it (other than learn how to set sudo up.) Thanks, Lisi

khtml "find text as you type" seems broken in 3.5.12
by Nick Leverton 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

The "find text as you type" feature seems not to work for me in konqueror/khtml 3.5.12. The shortcut is still set correctly to /, but nothing happens when I press the / key. Is this a known problem, or if not then how can I debug it further, please ?

Mint Debian 201109
by Dan Youngquist 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

Hi all, I just downloaded and installed the new Mint Debian 201109. It says it's 100% compatible with repositories designed for Squeeze, but Trinity won't install due to over a dozen unresolved dependencies. Is there any obvious reason this is so, and anything simple I can do to fix it? Alternatively, is there another Debian-based, rolling-release distro on which Trinity will install without problems? (I could just use Debian, but I'd prefer to use a distro on which things like wireless drivers work out of the box.) Thanks. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm
