With all the talk, I turned up a VM and did an install of Debian 12
(Bookworm) and TDE, and it went perfectly.
Install Debian without GUI interface
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include contrib non-free and
non-free-firmware as earlier noted
Add Trinity-testing repository as per instructions
Pull down and apt-key add trinity keyring
The TDE-Trinity package selected everything, including sudo, gnupg,
xwindows, etc, I didn't have to select anything else by hand.
Thanks to the team!

Thanks, Mike.
Here's something cool. So to speak. Everybody goes on about backlit keyboards, but this 15-year-old Thinkpad has been chugging along so faithfully that it has a *heated* keyboard!

This started a month or so ago, presumably as a result of an update.
When certain programs open, most frequently Konqueror and Kicker, I get
popup warnings, "Could not find mime type application/octet-stream". Kicker
does 7 of those all at once before it finishes starting, Konqueror only one.
While using Konqueror, another pops up frequently, and sometimes goes away
on its own in a few seconds if I don't click it away. It's gotta be
something simple, but I haven't had time to debug it. How do I fix this?
Machine is MX Linux w/ TDE 14.0.13.

greets again . . .
my laptop test case for debian continues. my goal today is to make my
TDE -- menus, apps, panel, desktop, etc. -- as close as i can to my
desktop machine. i could do this by hand, which would take a day or two,
or perhaps by copying my configuration from the desktop to the notebook
via something like a usb drive.
what i do not know is what configurations to copy. the whole .config
directory seems a little drastic, and i do not know that it would do the
job. would .trinity do it?
i should already know all this, but it's been a lot of years (and at least
one covid brain repartitioning), and i'd rather ask than break things and
ask afterwards.
thanks in advance.

greets, everyone . . .
as a test run and experiment -- and to upgrade it -- i did a clean, fresh
install of debian bookworm -- i keep wanting to say butterbean -- on my
old but good thinkpad x200. much to my surprise, it was the quickest and
easiest linux installation i've ever done. i realize that configuration is
a whole nother story, but i'm impressed so far. there being no TDE choise,
i installed gnome, because it brings along a lot of stuff that
applications will need anyway.
time now to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and i'd kind of like to get it
right. there's no listing on the TDE page for bookworm; the latest is
bullseye. bookworm is, i think, what used to be "testing." i presume that
using bullseye would be entirely compatable, but before i break something
i want to double-check. is it?
also, i wonder what it would take to get TDE listed among the debian
installation choices. i see that plasma is, so i don't think it's that
ancient qt fuss -- plus, the install went out and got "non-free" drivers
for the video and the wifi card. it would be a good thing, i think if it
were.

Hi all,
quick question regarding Trinity's Dolphin:
When "Save view properties for each folder" is disabled, any setting related
to sort mode (by name, by date etc.) or sort order (ascending, descending) is
reset as soon as the folder is changed. This also applies to the "Show Hidden
Files" option.
Even if "All folders" is selected in "View" > "Adjust View Properties ..." the
above persists. The "Apply view properties to:" options only seem to have any
effect if "Save view properties for each folder" from the settings is also
enabled.
So without enabling per-folder settings (and having .d3lphinview files
everywhere) there is no way in Dolphin to set persistent global view
properties like sort order - or am I missing something?
Best regards,
Leskala
The recent notify issue discussion prompts me to ask:
Is there a notify HOWTO anywhere for me to learn about
how to implement notify?
I have a few long-running, in the background bash scripts
where notify would be a nice touch to implement.
As was mentioned, passing "notify" to a search engine --
even with other search terms -- is of little use.
Inquiring minds...
Thank you!
Jonesy

For a start, I'll need to get months of treatment if I'm to recover from my
exposure to the Trisquel folks. It's no exaggeration to say that they
might well consider Richard M. Stallman insufficiently pure ideologically.
Perhaps it comes from guilt; they acknowledge that without Canonical a/k/a
Ubuntu they could not exist. It's a little like Judge Roy Bean's comment
on reformed prostitutes, indeed, reformed anything. One referred to Debian
as a "fallen gold standard," and I pointed out that gold is actually up
$52 today, but I doubt that changed any minds. It's too bad. A simply
de-Canonicaled Ubuntu would be a good thing.
Which leaves Debian. If I weren't bone lazy I would have adopted it instead
of Ubuntu many years ago. Thanks to everyone here for the many useful tips
in that regard, and other regards, though I think it's pretty clear that
Debian is the answer. It's rye whisky, while most other distros are
umbrella drinks.
I have one question (well, many, but this one just surprised me): of the
many ISOs in the TDE repository, there isn't a Debian one. Is there some
reason for this or simply nobody to make one?
Like any good former OS/2 user, as a matter of reflex I have /home on its
own partition, pictures on their own partition and drive, and so on. I'll
probably further back up /home on an empty partition of another drive as
well. (Having mentioned OS/2, let me once again whine about it having been
wise from the get-go to segregate applications in their own directories,
as opposed to intermingling them with everything else.)
Anyway, having asked and been advised, I thought it right to let everybody
know where I am ending up.
