Installing TDE on a KDE system.
by Γιώργος Κωστόπουλος 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi! :-) I installed lately at one of my systems, a fresh Devuan installation with KDE (stable ver. Beowulf, x64, fully updated). Then I tried installing the latest TDE (the official way). At my 1st try (after installing and updating the GPG DEB package), I tried (via Synaptic), installing the tdebase-trinity package, but Synaptic refused and aborted, indicating broken packages and dependencies. OK. I closed it and opened Konsole -> went root (su -) and I tried apt (apt install tdebase-trinity). This time TDE installed properly, but KDE installation was removed altogether (with the exception of some packages (like SDDM)). I'm perfectly good with it, and I already (after backing it up), formatted and reinstalled Devuan without any desktop this time and I installed TDE on it. Just out of curiosity, is it possible to install TDE alongside with KDE? TIA! :-) Giorgos.

Installing Trinity on Ubuntu
by danapple＠danapple.com 22 Aug '21

22 Aug '21

In order to upgrade Trinity Desktop from R14.0.6 to R14.0.10, I have attempted to follow the instructions on https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Ubuntu_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst… However, I get this error in synaptic: The repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x ubuntu Release' does not have a Release file.Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.The repository 'http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x ubuntu Release' does not have a Release file. I have tried adding the list in /etc/apt/sources.list and have switched to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity-ubuntu-bionic.list which results in the same error. The lines, as inserted, read: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x ubuntu main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x ubuntu main I have also tried to replace .x with .10 with the same results. I did "Import GPG signing key" Any ideas? Sincerely, Daniel.

SDD puzzle
by dep 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Hi, everybody! (I hope you hear Dr. Nick's voice when you read this line.) My SDD boot . . . isn't booting. Here's how it unfolded: I popped the side off the case so as to install a couple of top-facing exhaust fans, controlled by the motherboard, bring the total case fan count to five (two intake, three exhaust), because with that many fans none ever really spins up, so the computer is next to silent. That's all I did in there. I came nowhere near anything having to do with any of the drives. When I fired up the computer again I got the usual GRUB menu, the second item of which was the 20.04-LTS installation on /dev/sdc1. I chose it. And it booted forthwith -- to the 20.04-LTS installation on /dev/sda1. No errors, nothing. Just booted the wrong drive. The SDD (sdc) is working fine -- I can mount it, navigate in it, read and write to it. Any troubleshooting ideas that don't involve disassembly? This was working fine yesterday and isn't today. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Speak of the devil . . .
by dep 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

I did a regular softrware update on my boot drive -- the SSD at /dev/sdc1 -- and got this: Configuration file '/etc/grub.d/10_linux' ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** 10_linux (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? I did "D" but have no clue as to what is right here. After looking at it for a few minutes and ending up no more enlightened than I was when I started, I kept the default. The first line of the thing is +# grub-mkconfig helper script. It contains things such as +# Default to disabling partition uuid support to maintian compatibility with +# older kernels. +GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID=${GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_PARTUUID-true} Ought I have let it install? It seems a bad idea, but that is totally a guess. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

I went this route and added the lines to apt/etc/sources.list. Apt successfully retrieved and installed the R14.0.11-pre packages and it also resolved the binutils issue. The first desktop is working perfectly. I will do the same on my other desktop. The original 'buster' entries for 14.0.10 were left as they were in the sources.list file. Ed -- Linux.

switching to sdd boot drive
by dep 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

Greets, folks . . . The nifty little WD 500gb SSD has arrived. I stuck it into a little USB adapter device and seem to have succeeded in dd'ing my boot partition. /dev/sda1, onto it. I have employed the appropriate utility to give it a unique ID, and have labeled its first partition as BOOT. (My home partition, on the existing /dev/sda, is labeled HOME, and /etc/fstab are edited to mount LABEL=BOOT as / and LABEL=HOME as /home.) If things weren't unnecessarily complicated, I could go into the bios and tell it to boot from USB and check the thing before I mounted it permanently. Ah, but . . . There's no nice, normal setting to set boot order in the frigging bios! I can't tell it to just boot from USB and call it a day. Instead, it offers a variety of choices that include booting from a drive that has no operating system at all, so it's not smart or anything like that. I did update-grub on the existing hard drive installation and it saw and added the SSD install. Here things get weird: sometimes it shows it and sometimes it doesn't. Ubuntu in its wisdom has screwed around with the GRUB2 menu. Initially it didn't't show up at all; after I dicked around with it a little a few days ago I got it to appear. Even then, it isn't a GRUB menu as we know it. By fiddling around with the bios I can get a menu that contains the SSD -- /dev/ssd1 -- to show up in the GRUB menu, but sometimes not. And even then, if I select the SSD installation, it does fiddle a little with the SSD on the way in, but boots to the /dev/sda1 install. Now, this is especially problematic because the hard drive boot is, as I mentioned, from /dev/sda1, while /home is /dev/sda3, so just yanking that drive is not among the relatively convenient possibilities. I'd like to boot from it, of course, for reasons including the ability to run update-grub on it, so that the default boot would be from the SSD when it is happily installed in the system. (After which I'd open a terminal and again run update-grub so that GRUB would get everything in its final configuration, with booting from the hard drive possible in case of SSD failure.) Any ideas? Prefarably as opposed to guesses? -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
