I've not yet tried TDE on OS, but will once
I've found instructions
to get
it
using zypper. My usual OS installation method is from minimal X to
KDE3 via
zypper.
Here are the instructions I found (and used) to install via zypper
(although I did a standard install with KDE 4 as I may wish to run
some KDE apps, even if I don't like the desktop):
First of all, thanks for your answers. However, I saw mostly
installation of yours were Minimal X + Trinity or you installed
OpenSUSE with default desktop (KDE 4) then installed Trinity. Also, I
think minimal installation without X causes some permission problems
or something else to prevent opening kdm. Hence, when you did a
minimal X installation, your system has tones of unnecessary packages
like some ncurses applications of yast and with dependencies,
bootsplash etc etc (for me of course).
1. Configure the supplementary PACKMAN repository
Instructions:
http://packman.links2linux.org/
2. Configure the ZYPPER repository (as root user)
For OpenSUSE? 12.2 (v3.5.13.1)
zypper ar -t YUM -G
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse12.2…
-i) trinity
zypper ar -t YUM -G
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse12.2…
trinity-noarch
zypper refresh
3. Install the Trinity desktop environment
zypper install trinity-desktop
After that I logged out, then in changing the session to TDE, that's all
Thierry
Besides, I tried minimal OpenSUSE install + simple Xorg server +
Trinity, still Trinity and kdm not starting. Hence, I looked at logs
and there's no error about kdm or anything related with Trinity. After
all, I think I'm going to choose Minimal X + Trinity installation and
I'll inform you what I achieved..
Thanks for your answers. If someone will try minimal without X then
install Xorg and try to install and run Trinity and in the end success
to run, let me know.
Sincerely,
Eren
OK I've done the following steps and I confirm it works:
Install opensuse (i586 in my case) with very minimal installation.
Configure networking, configure repositories.
Install minimal xorg with:
zypper install xorg-x11-server
Install minimal TDE with:
zypper install trinity-tdebase
Install iceauth (required for dcopserver):
zypper install iceauth
(dependency will be added in next TDE build for opensuse)
Configure DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/kdm in
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
Fix missing 'Xsession' file (file exists but not in expected folder):
ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession
(will be fixed in next TDE build for opensuse)
Set default runlevel to 5 in systemd.
rm -f /etc/systemd/system/default.target
ln -s /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target
And reboot.
It works, tested in virtual machine again.
