Hello,

About /etc/profile : it should not be needed , the "startkde" script from trinity already adds its own path (/opt/trinity/bin).
Also, if /opt/kde3/bin exists, it means that you have some opensuse-kde3 packages installed, which is not supported yet by Trinity.
You should remove any KDE3-related package prior to running TDE.

About DISPLAYMANAGER: you should simply use:
DISPLAYMANAGER=tdm
and it should work. We need to add this information to the Wiki.

About 11.4 missing packages, I will try again to fresh-install the distribution then TDE 3.5.13.2 to check which package is missing, if there is any.

Hi,

Thanks! I tried the DISPLAYMANAGER=tdm and it worked on my 12.3 machine. The issue with the path appears to be when X is not running, there is no auto complete for kde binaries so I had a hard time starting kdm. I also expected to be able to set DEFAULT_WM=tdm to make it start when using the startx script but yast errors on it. I'm going to reinstall this machine because it may just be cause i broke it changing the sysconfig, and ill see how it goes afterwards.

On my 11.4 machine, I did a clean install and set DISPLAYMANAGER=tdm, I got the message "Starting service tdm" when I switched to runlevel 5, but xdm appeared instead, changing to runlevel 3 makes it say "Shutting down service xdm", I can't get it to start even if i point DISPLAYMANAGER directly to kdm, weird.

Could we please bring the knetworkmanager8 package back for 11.4 since it still uses the old networkmanager? I was looking for the SRPM, The page at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity/rpm/ says they are only available for RHEL6 which would be fine, but the directory is empty.
I would rather use a newer version of suse but there are a few things holding me back.

Amazing job on keeping the old KDE up to date so far!
