Hello, my name is Dima and I'm a Puppy Linux contributor and Debian fan. I wish to create a Debian (or Ubuntu, if it won't work) LiveCD with Trinity and I don't know how to do this. I've seen the Ubuntu ISOs with Trinity and I want to do the same, but with Debian and a different choice of packages. I read about DebianLive and the manual method to construct an Ubuntu LiveCD, but the former's documentation is lacking and the latter seems complicated and outdated. At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to use Debian Live (according to http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/live-manual.html) and I'm kinda stuck. So ... my question is: how can I do this (or, how did you create the Ubuntu LiveCD)? Thank you! Dima

ubuntu 10.10 & wireless

by Paul Cartwright

I had a problem with my new ubuntu 10.10 install. After I installed trinity kde3.5 I could no longer use ssh, I could no longer connect to my local LAN desktop server & my IMAP folders, and wireless would no longer connect ( it kept telling me my password was wrong). a reinstall of ubuntu 10.10 ( separate /home folder, so all my emails & settings remained) and now I can ssh, use IMAP and wireless works flawlessy again. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459

kdesudo and kdesu

by David Hare

Firstly my thanks and congratulations to the Trinity project for such great work and the support for Debian. It is my desktop of choice for Debian Squeeze and looks really nice, more so than the (old) kde defaults. In fact I have run Trinity (ubuntu packsges) on Debian Squeeze since last November. It idles at around 100MB ram usage. I now have a fresh Squeeze install with Trinity from the new Trinity-Debian repos. This was done using debootstrap and chroot. Trinity-kde was installed with apt-get (in the chroot) using a text list of specific packages. I use these methods to minimise bloat. The only issue is, kdesu. I saw an earlier post on this but no resolution. Is nobody else getting this? I can't change the clock or get root from kcontrol, kuser, etc. The workaround is sudo or sux (/opt/trinity/bin needs to go in roots $PATH) in a konsole to open kde apps I do not like to use sudo by preference but in this case I have set my user in /etc/sudoers. (works as expected otherwise, e.g. <sudo kwrite> is successful) Ideally I would like to disable sudo altogether and just use su, sux and kdesu. kdesudo-trinity is installed. In my old Squeeze install I fixed kdesu by adding a text file ~/.kde3/share/config/kdesurc containing: [super-user-command] super-user-command=su No luck with that on the new install In konsole: dzz@exelinux:~$ kdesudo kwrite /usr/bin/xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":0.0" No protocol specified kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0 dzz@exelinux:~$ kdesu kwrite /usr/bin/xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":0.0" No protocol specified kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0 . Any ideas what is wrong?

xiphos on ubuntu 10.10 with trinity KDE3

by Paul Cartwright

Just an FYI.. I installed Ubuntu 10.10, trinity, xiphos 3.1.3-3 and Libreoffice on my ancient Dell XPS laptop.. I had a small issue where trying to install/upgrade packages, clicking on the bible-commentaries didn't open up the tabs to select, but restarting xiphos fixed that. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459

GPG signing key problem

by James D Freels

Recall below the method for obtaining the GPG signing key for the trinity project. 2. Add the GPG signing key: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0 At home, I have no problem at all doing this through my ISP (comcast). However, at work, the port used for obtaining the key is blocked so I cannot add the key to my work data base. I had the same problem with ubuntu keys and had to gain special permissions just to get the key. I was hoping there may be a simpler way to just copy the key over, and install it. Can you send instructions with it ? Thanks -- James D. Freels freelsjd(a)gmail.com

Torrents are stalled in all torrent clients

by Jason Goldfine-Middleton

Hi everyone, Really excited about the continued development of KDE 3.5 but I have to say it is really hard to find information on the KDE 3 environment since most of KDE 4's apps have the same names... Anyway, I'm using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 (Trinity of course) and having issues getting torrents to run in Ktorrent (both the KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions). I have forwarded the ports in my router and also have UPnP running on the router and in Ktorrent. UPnP appears to work in Transmission as well, but the torrents remain stalled. I haven't gotten a single torrent past 0.00%. I'm really bummed because I use torrents all the time and I want to use KDE 3.5 so badly... has anyone else resolved/had this issue? Thanks for your assistance! Jason
