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:
- 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:
sudo passwd
Enter a new (temporary) root password at the prompt
sudo apt-get install sudo-kde3
sudo passwd -l root
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
- Problem again kdelibs4c2a
sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c2a-kde3 sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c21-kde3 kdelibs-data-kde3
To give my 2 cent to the problems that might occur and a simple workaround I simply copy an old mail from this list (sorry for redundant information but it should not get forgotten)

Problems with crashes GTK programs I have seen only if I had installed kgtk-qt3-trinity (and related), which replacing dialog boxes. But with gtk-qt-engine-trinity, which only changes the appearance of gui widgets, it does not fall.
Note: These problems apparently not related to the update 3.5.13.1.

This is a great piece of information. For month I was not able to use
* lazarus-ide * dropbox * calibre
as a normal user. The only work-arround was using 'sudo NAMEOFAPPLICATION'.
You saved my live! I've googled a lot to know what could be the culprit without success. Uninstalling kgtk-qt3-trinity brought all back to normal. What a big step forward!
kgtk-qt3-trinity should not be installed by default. Or there should be a big warning on the www.trinitydesktop.org page! ------------------------- snip ------------------------------------------
