I was not actually aware of the magnitude of the problem until just now, as I tend to use the nightly builds on new installs.
Do we actually have a procedure written anywhere that results in successful installation on Ubuntu? People have access to the Wiki and I would be more than willing to redirect the Ubuntu/Debian install instructions to a Wiki page until R14 is released; would someone who has managed to install TDE successfully be willing to write a brief set of instructions for the Wiki?
Hello
I have installed trinity successfully in Kubuntu 10.04 (and will not try to upgrade to 12.04 till http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#ubuntu will add 12.04 officially.
The procedure was more complicated than I thought:
1. Problem sudo:
The workaround is to temporarily set a root password, install sudo-kde3, then unset the root password. The following commands should do that: 1. sudo passwd 2. Enter a new (temporary) root password at the prompt 3. sudo apt-get install sudo-kde3 4. sudo passwd -l root
2. Problem: kdelibs problem sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data-kde3_4%3a3.5.12-0ubuntu6+r1152788_all.deb
3 Problem hhotnetsuffrc problem sudo apt-get remove --purge khotnewstuffrc
4. Problem again kdelibs4c2a sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c2a-kde3 sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c21-kde3 kdelibs-data-kde3
