Installation Instructions
by Pierre Fortier 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

On a MEPIS 8.5 amd64 system, I followed the lenny instructions at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#debian and all worked except sudo apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Mounting of DVD, USB
by HHa 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi, the mounting is not done automatically after inserting/plugging in a Medium. My /etc/fstab looks like this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

Partial Installation Recommendation
by Ed Hurst 20 Mar '11

20 Mar '11

Is there a recommended collection of packages for someone who would prefer to add Trinity, rather than have it fully replace, say GNOME? For example, I understand the necessity of replacing sudo, but I don't want to replace my boot splash. -- Ed Hurst -------- Open for Business - http://ofb.biz/ Kiln of the Soul - http://soulkiln.org/ blog - http://soulkiln.blogspot.com/

Fonts for Gnome-based programs

Hi, can I say in the Control Center that Gnome-based programs should use the KDE fonts?

Konversation: Settings not being applied
by Kristopher Gamrat 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi, I finally got my hard disk in and I've installed Debian Squeeze using a basic install (base plus laptop stuff plus ssh server, no GUI or anything else). From there I installed Trinity. All seems fine, except that konversation isn't displaying time stamps in the chat window even though it shows as enabled in the configuration window for Konversation, and it won't display the tray icon when I enable that. I am also noticing that it isn't adding the option to enable the tray icon to ~/.trinity/share/config/konversaitonrc and that ~/.trinity/share/apps/konversation/ is emtpy, yet I have ownership and both read and write permissions in both. I remember seeing an issue on the mailing list before that autorun settings in Kcontrol weren't saving but the fix is unrelated to chat, and autorun is working fine here anyway. Are there any konversation users around that can help? -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager

Alt and Meta
by Volker Wysk 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi! I want to allocate Alt as Alt, and the two Windows-Keys as Meta. I had this set up, using xmodmap. But after upgrading KDE it no longer works, neither with Trinity nor with KDE4. It looks like KDE3/4 does the allocation on its own now. Does anyone have an idea how this can be done? Cheers, V.W.

Issues on Squeeze
by Ed Hurst 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I noticed some of these were already mentioned, though not fixed or answered, so far as I can determine. KDM -- won't allow me to shut down, reboot or much of anything else except login. Kdesu -- refuses to accept my root password. I have to jack around to setup the X auth for root using the commandline. KWifiManager -- If I launch from the commandline as root, it does find a network, but the wrong one. I can't get it to let me select my in-home wifi connection. It lists it for a scan, but I see no means to make it select it. From my user account, I can't do anything with it at all. This last one is a show-stopper for me. If I can't connect and configure on the fly wherever I go, the DE is useless. So, what would you need from me to diagnose this? -- Ed Hurst -------- Open for Business - http://ofb.biz/ Kiln of the Soul - http://soulkiln.org/ blog - http://soulkiln.blogspot.com/
