So this is R14 nightly? Awesome! On Nov 15, 2012 3:14 PM, "Timothy Pearson" kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net wrote:

Hi,

I am having trouble installing trinity on wheezy.

I tried adding the sources for sqeeze to my /etc/apt/sources.list but

that

...

did not work because of dependency problems. I then changed those lines from squeeze to wheezy. Unfortunately that only worked half way. There is no build-deps built for wheezy available so I removed those lines. When I try and install kdebase-trinity it does not find the package.

My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this:

deb

http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debianwhe...

...

main deb-src

http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debianwhe...

...

main

deb http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

Any ideas?

Calvin

Only the nightly builds support Wheezy.

deb

http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-builds/ub... wheezy main

deb

http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-build-dep... wheezy main

The "ubuntu" portion of the URLs is NOT a mistake, nor does it indicate that Ubuntu packages are being installed; it is merely a quirk of the nightly build system.

3.5.13.x currently not prepared for Wheezy. However, you can use Squeeze version - needs only a few packages from Debian Squeeze. Tested and works.

Hi Slavek, can you please give more details? How to set up repositories so that squeeze versions don't 'spread' and mess up everything?

Many times I wondered if I should prepare 3.5.13.x also for Wheezy. If there will rise interest, it should not be a problem. However, so far I've always decided dismissively on the grounds that Wheezy is not in final state. Slavek

The big problem is: Wheezy is where debian defaults to kde4 and there is no choice. I have to have wheezy because of hardware problems needing the latest drivers and I am forced to use kde4. Wheezy has been out for a long time now and changes are not likely to be huge.

Many thanks for your (all of you!) hard work!

Cheers Ron

I do not understand this. There are at least two times during a Wheezy install where one can choose:

1. What desktop environment to install, XFCE, LXDE,KDE,

So where's the choice for kde3? Not there afaict. Neither does a package search locate anything. I thought it was obvious we were discussing kde variants, not completely different desktops.

From the first boot menu choose 'advanced options>alternate desktop environments> 2. boot menu> Expert install , you walk through all the choices, more time consuming. 3. Or if you happen to hit the 'Install' or ' Graphical Install' option from the boot menu you can always unselect the 'desktop environment' during the 'Tasksel' phase.

I have been using TDE 3.5.14, nightly builds, on Wheezy works well here. I always do a base/standard Wheezy net install, add Trinity sources, install TDE.

So I'm asking for baby steps for that process. I don't want to read something into that brief description and mess up a critical work system. I've had systems go bad due to package version messups before and I don't want to get it wrong. Many thanks to all for their help.

As a candidate refugee from KDE4 I have now tried installing Trinity on Mageia-2.

But although it was appearing to install well, it stopped part way and warned me of a missing file:

Installation failed, some files are missing:

I was then given the option to continue, which I did, but the install failed at the end as follows:

So I have 2 questions:

(1) How do I obtain the missing file? (2) How could I then complete installation?

and would much appreciate some help with this, please.

Maybe it was just a temporary mirror problem, can you try again now ? I've just uninstalled then reinstalled this package, and it just installed perfectly from the official mirror ... Try, in order: urpmi.update -a urpmi trinity-korn urpmi trinity-desktop

François,

Maurice in the report said: torn-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm

It's just a typo Maurice, or is a typo in the dependencies in the package?

That worked fine, and I have now a TDE option at Login, and have tried a TDE session.

My first job was to adjust selection by mouse to a single click. OK - so in Settings/Input/Mouse I set Single click and hit 'Apply'. But although single-click works on icons in the Panel, it doesn't work for desktop icons that are 'links to applications', e.g. Konqueror opening some directory. How does one achieve that?

Then I inserted a copy of my Mandriva kmail (1.13.5) ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail directory into TDE's ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail, but TDE's kmail (1.9.10) seems to ignore it. Isn't that where TDE kmail expects to find it?

(I was expecting to be slightly lost in a new distro, so it's probably something I've missed or misunderstood...)

Regards,

Could it be under ~/.trinity/share/apps instead? This is the user's trinity directory I think.

AAHHHH, I shoud have known...

Many thanks, Pascal.

I've now installed Trinity on the Mageia-2 on my desktop, and that problem is not occurring.

It was great to get back to a version of KMail that can do 'Find in Message' properly!

Just one thing I seem to have lost: Access to the Mageia Control Centre. How does one access that?

(I did try the Trinity Control Centre, but its Network Managment asked me to choose from a list of distro's that excluded Mageia, and didn't go later than Mandriva 7! What 's that all about?!)

On 2012-12-06 at 22:54 Alexandre said:

As Mageia is based on Mandriva, it is probably the same command as on PCLOS. Type ''drakconf'' in Konsole and if it opens the control center, then create an icon for it.

OIC. I just lost the icon; I hadn't expected that when installing TDE. Thank you!

-You can always try my PCLinuxOS 2012 TDE non-official remaster. If you like Mageia, chances are good that your would like my remaster! TDE is already completely configured with a nice theme!

I also installed PCLinuxOS a little while ago to check it out. Yes, it is close to Mandriva/Mageia, but - as you will have gathered - I am still trying out TDE so it might be premature to try a different version of TDE already. The questions are: To what extent will TDE be maintained and improved? Same question of your PCLinuxOS version of TDE, also what is different between it and 'official' TDE?

Regards,

TDE 3.5.13.1 is running fine here on Wheezy

I identified these packages which are needed from Squeeze sources in order to install the entire 3.5.13.1 "kde-trinity" meta in Debian Wheezy:

libdb4.8++ libboost-python1.42.0 libpoppler5 libgmp3c2 libcdio-cdda0 libcdio-paranoia0 libcdio10 libmusicbrainz4c2a libexiv2-9 libmtp8 libmysqlclient16 libssl0.9.8 libaudiofile0

These few packages, as far as I can see, do not affect Debian Wheezy at any core system level and seem to do harm.

If anyone here knows of others, please post here. I might have missed some because I use "--no-install-recommends" selectively to keep down bloat
