Hi Timothy,
I'm new to your list, and I am thrilled there is a Trinity fork. I
retreated from the bleeding edge of Fedora 8 and then Kubuntu
9.04 three years ago to Centos 5.5 because of the KDE4 nightmare.
Linux had become a chaotic minefield of cosmetic frenzy with no
functionality leadership anymore and KDE3 was the last hope of
stable continuity. Now to take my whole new terrace of application technology to a new
cloud server I had provisioned a Centos 6.2 VPS. Oops, the
RedHat/Centos crowd has followed the cosmetic herd to KDE4. So I
thought maybe I'd give it another try. Silly me.
When I tried to move my desktop apps from Centos 5.5, I realized I
would have to rebuild my whole interface. Screw that. So I started
looking for an alternative, and I found you guys. Unfortunately, I
had already installed moved all my Perl infrastructure with an
upgrade to perl 5.10.1, Postgresql 8.4, PHP 5.3 etc. so I could
install RT4, Mojolicious, Dancer, WordPress, and Drupal7. i had
already done all that before I looked at mapping my KDE desktop
apps to the plasma swamp.
So, now dreading the uninstall of KDE4 and install of Trinity on
this otherwise loaded server, I thought I might have a way of
getting above it all, using Yumex. And it almost worked.
I've never been a big fan of Gnome, but have used it occasionally.
So I used Yumex to install Gnome, and then logged-in to Gnome with
the intention of using Yumex to selectively remove all the KDE4
packages, except those shared by KDE and Gnome. It worked almost.
Here is the scheme:
Buried deep down in the Centos website, there is a section on
RedHat/Fedora Trinity Repository Installation Instructions:
So I did that, and the Yumex packages window now had all the
trinitiy packages, which I could check to have installed. But
first I had to remove KDE4:
Yumex Pass 1 - Remove KDE4
- In Package window, click Installed radio button,
- Search for 'KDE', which will fill the window with all
installed packages that KDE employs, in green text,
- Click on each one in which the rhs description says is
part of KDE, this will respond with the garbage can icon so
you no it is set to be deleted.
- Be sure not to check packages used by both Gnome and KDE,
like Xorg-x11-server.Xorg or htdig. But if you are unsure,
Yum will detect the errors in its dependency check and print
errors in red in the output, refusing to continue, because
you are proposing to delete packages that remaining packages
depend upon.
- Click Apply to start Yum processing. If no errors appear,
you can allow Yumex to continue to delete all of the KDE4
packages.
Yumex Pass 2 - Install Trinity
- In Package window, click Available Radio Buttion;
- Search on 'trinity', which will fill the Package window
with all of the Trinity packages;
- Review the list and their descriptions, and check all the
ones you need;
- Click Apply to start installing Trinity.
Ok, this got past the dependency check and all of the downloads,
then I got:
13:48:06 : YUM: Running

So, since I'm not expecting to have to debug anything, I went back
into the package window and uncheck all the "debuginfo" packages I
had previously check. This time TDE installed without a hitch.
But now I am unable to connect using NX into Gnome. It acts like
what was described in the #bug985202 discussion. How do I
configure my NX client to startup TDE
Hello,
There are simpler ways to achieve what you have done in CentOS 6.
To remove KDE4, just type (as root):
yum groupremove kde-desktop
To install Trinity, just type:
yum install trinity-desktop
I do not know Yumex but it should be able to do the same actions.
Now, to run a TDE session in an NX server, you have to configure
your NX client to define a custom session.
If you have the proprietary NX Client:
- Open the "configure" dialog box
- Under "General" tab, In the "Desktop" section, choose "Unix" and
"Custom" , then click on "Settings" button
- In the "Settings" window, in "Application" section, choose "Run
the following command", then type: /opt/trinity/bin/startkde
- In the "Options" section, choose "New virtual desktop".
Save your settings and enjoy Trinity in NX.
