Kate, I tried to install the Mandriva rpm of the baghira
theme on my the computer. Then, I moved all of the files where
they should be. (In KPackage, I was able to see the list of
the files and where they were uncompressed)
It doesn't work. Trinity is probably not binary compatible
with KDE3 anymore, so the theme would have to be re-compiled
from the source, something that I don't know how to do...
Probably some persons here know ho to do it?
Hello,
I've just build baghira for TDE for pclinuxos2012.
Just install it with "apt-get update && apt-get install
trinity-theme-baghira"
It seems to work fine in my virtual machine.
One thing, Francois Andriot did not specified the right text
file for the repos lists. The repos lists in PCLOS is in:
/etc/apt/sources.list
This is the file where the url of his repos should go.
No, it was not a mistake. It works with the exact instructions I
gave.
I think using several small repository files under "sources.list.d"
folder is more convenient than having one big "sources.list" file.
(this is the way PPA for ubuntu are doing BTW).
Francois

Thank you Francois for the theme!
It works!
While it's not the theme I prefer personally, I'll include it pre-installed on my remaster.
Regarding the installation of TDE, after adding your repo, I did the following steps in Synaptic, so this is probably why I couldn't see your repo in the Repositories configuration menu. After transferring your repos URL at the regular place for PCLOS, it worked as it should. I think that it would probably have worked with the file you have specified but it might just not be diplayed in the repo config menu of Synaptic, so it's okay!
On PCLOS, when I do a remaster, it works exactly the same way as the hdd install I had when I run it in live cd mode, but when I install it, as I said in another message, it asks for xdm even if I don't plan to use it. So I have installed xdm and it don't ask for it anymore. I have found the file that specify which dm should be used when the system will be installed. It is:
/etc/draklive-install.d/sysconfig/desktop
If I use tdm as the dm, I get ''No greeter pluging found'' when I reboot after the installation and it does not run the pclos config wizard as it should. As a workaround for that, I have set the default dm to be GDM. It works as it should as much for the livecd as for the first boot and the subsequent boots. Also, it does not skip the PCLOS config wizard. If the user don't need special fonctions only provided by tdm, the system could be used with GDM without any problem. I will simply put on the desktop of the once-installed system a PDF file containing the instructions for changing the dm to tdm if desired. Once the system is installed, tdm can be used normally, but not at the first boot right after the installation. It is probably a distro-related problem.
Have a nice day!
