Debian Squeeze: installing trinity requires to remove gnome package

by Nicolas BERCHER

Hi, I use Trinity on 3 machines (1×Lenny+2×Squeeze) and was surprized installing Trinity on Squeeze: aptitude asked me to remove the gnome package and a few others (sorry I didn't have a copy of the aptitude messages). The main reason was about desktop-base (initially 6.0.5) conflicting with desktop-base-trinity (5.0.3-5). I assume this isn't the expected behaviour since there's no reason to remove gnome when installing trinity. However, I don't miss gnome at all but still I am surprized. Does this mean that there will be more and more issues when installing trinity on systems with recent libraries in a near future? I wonder how much trinity will evolve in parallel of kde4/gnome packages and underlying libraries that also evolves...? Nicolas

Removing Plymouth

by Luciano ES

I hate Plymouth as much as I hate KDE4. Whatever pimp-faced form-over-function moron who decided to inflict this crap upon us obviously doesn't use encrypted hard disks. I do, so the damn thing keeps failing and forcing me to boot several times until the damn thing finally boots correctly. I am absolutely sick of it, it has to go. But there is no 'kdm' program installed and there doesn't seem to be any for me to install in Adept Manager either. How am I going to boot into KDE3/Trinity when I finally get rid of Plymouth? TIA -- Luciano ES >>

Upgrading from KDE4

by Neil Youngman

I was a happy KDE3 user for years, but recently, as part of upgrading Debian I got KDE4. I've tried GNOME and various other desktop environments, but I didn't find anything I liked. Recently someone debian-users mentioned trinity on and it seems to be the desktop environment I'm looking for. Before I try it out, I would like to know what pitfalls there are in upgrading from KDE4 to Debian. The KDE3->KDE4 transition was a bit messy and I think it's likely that KDE4 has messed up my old KDE3 configuration. Has anyone else done this and what would they advise? Should I start from scratch with a clean configuration or will it be OK to copy my existing configuration? Neil Youngman

Better choice of extras?

by Luciano ES

I want to install the *-restricted-extras package, and I can't make up my mind whether I should install kubuntu-restricted-extras or ubuntu-restricted-extras. The kubuntu-restricted-extras option wants to install more than 100 dependencies, including some so-called KDE 4 "runtime" files, which makes me nervous. I've been finding KDE 4 very intrusive since it's been out, always forcing its way and trying to make people give up on 3.5 by sheer imposition. The ubuntu-restricted-extras option wants to install 60 dependencies, including some Gnome components. I suppose I would not get any KDE integration? I don't know. Which one do you experts recommend? -- Luciano ES >>

Kernel source doesn't match kernel?

by Luciano ES

I am trying Ubuntu Maverick with Trinity 3.5.12, the live image I got from the trinity.pearsoncomputing.net site. I am testing how well it works before I do a potential upgrade. One of my tests includes installing VMWare. I couldn't make it work, VMWare complains that the source in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.whatever/include doesn't match the installed/running kernel, so it can't build the required modules. I got the source from the Adept Manager application (plus the build-essential package). Do you folks know anything about that? How can I get a kernel source that will match the running kernel? -- Luciano ES >>

Netbook built-in mic support

by Luciano ES

I am using Trinity with Ubuntu Jaunty, an old installation. I am considering an upgrade. Before trying the latest Trinity distribution, I tried Mint 9 (Isadora). I didn't like it, it messes up too much with KDE 3. It forces me to remove KDE 3/Trinity completely if I try to install buld-essential and/or kernel source. Incredibly stupid. There is only one thing I envy about Mint: it supports the built-in microphone on my netbook, so I don't have to hold an external mic when I'm using Skype. That's new to me, it's great news, and sound quality is pretty good too! I tested the Trinity 3.5.11/Lucid and 3.5.12/Maverick live images, and the mic does not work in any of them. Do you guys know how I can achieve that with a pure "Trinity distro" installation? Thanks in advance. -- Luciano ES >>

FW: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil)

by Rodrigo Zimmermann

From: barrigudo15(a)hotmail.com To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Techisa Desktop Environment (TDE - Brazil) Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:55:08 +0300 There is an environment project work done by Brazilians, called SPT (Techisa Desktop Environment) and is also built using QT3. However, the project is currently inactive. I wish you the code offered by aproveitasseo Techisa Desktop Environment, after all its free software. Incidentally, I want to highlight a feature that I found this great working environment in Brazil: the possibility of application launchers monitor its implementation through the menu of right mouse button on the launcher. Another interesting feature is the window manager, which supports many themes that are not supported by Kwin. Who knows SPT-WM may become the next manager of Trinity windows Desktop Environment? Besides supporting more themes, SPT-WM is lighter than KWin. I wish I could see the code being reused Techisa Desktop Environment by this team.

[trinity-users] Squeeze users: amarok-trinity and SYSFS boot errors

by David Hare

amarok-trinity depends on libnjb5 (why?) As does gnomad2, although it was removed from squeeze (lenny version works fine here on squeeze) Maybe they will remove libnjb5. For anyone getting aggravated by many lines of sysfs error messages on boot it is because: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libnjb5;dist=unstable#_0_3… A quick fix (as root): sed -i 's|SYSFS|ATTR|'g /etc/udev/libnjb.rules

View mode button(s) in Konqueror

by Sami Järvinen

Hello, is there a simple way to get the three view mode buttons back? The patch in comment #15 ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/43949 ) used to work in Kubuntu, but doesn't work on TDE 3.5.12. Thanks to everyone working on Trinity.
