Hello, This has maybe been covered in several places - can someone point me to a simple guide on how to do this? I installed the latest Devuan from USB to an AMD64 laptop. Tried following instructions on Trinity website but keep seeing broken tde packages in Synaptic and aptitude. Maybe I'm using an invalid combination of repositories and distributions. Thanks in advance - RP

Hello,
Supposing you're installing Devuan 2, you must use the instructions for Debian Stretch - which means the prelimirnary stable builds.
If you just don't want systemd, you can try AntiX 17, with teh same requirements to install Trinity.
From the website:
sudo apt-get install dirmngr
then
add: deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14
then
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key A04BE668
then
sudo apt-get update sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
Regards,
Thierry

Thanks to Thierry and Deloptes. TDE packages seem to be installing fine now. My current sources.list (omitting deb-src lines): deb http://ca.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii main non-free contrib deb http://ca.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-security main non-free contrib deb http://ca.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-updates main non-free contrib deb http://ca.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports contrib non-free main deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb/ stretch deps-r14 main-r14
Originally in the final line I used sid, which didn't work with Devuan ascii sources. The Preliminary Stable Builds page specifies: Ceres : Use Debian Sid. Beowulf : Use Debian Buster. Ascii : Use Debian Stretch. Jessie : Use Debian Jessie.
Hopefully, once TDE in Ascii is working, I'll consider upgrading to Beowulf, then Ceres. regards - Robert

what exactly are you using - I thought the wiki is really helpful with the installation instructions
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall
-> https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds#Devuan
