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. -- Peace, Greg

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: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/mga2/torn -3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm You may need to update your urpmi database. ------------------------------------------------- I was then given the option to continue, which I did, but the install failed at the end as follows: ------------------------------------------------- installing trinity-desktop-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.noarch.rpm trinity-tdepim-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm trinity-karm-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm trinity-kmobile-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm trinity-tdeartwork-emoticons-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm trinity-tdeartwork-theme-icon-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm trinity-tdeartwork-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586.rpm from /var/cache/urpmi/rpms Installation failed: trinity-korn = 3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt is needed by trinity-tdepim-3.5.13.1-1.mga2.opt.i586 [root@laptop ~]# --------------------------------------------------- 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. -- /\/\aurice (Retired in Surrey, UK)

Quite a coincidence that finally it misses'trinity-korn'! But it's always a possibiilty that the name got mangled during the copy/paste, I suppose. Anyway, I'm just about to start the re-install. Watch this space... Regards, -- /\/\aurice

On 2012-12-04 at 17:55 I said: Mmm. That was on Mageia-2 on the laptop. I've now installed Trinity on the Mageia-2 on my desktop, and that problem is not occurring. Both Mageia-2 installs were from the same .iso, but on the laptop I had not done a s/w update before the Trinity install. Could that have caused the problem? Anyting else I could try? -- /\/\aurice

Maurice, 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. Have a nice day! -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! -Alexandre

My PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster has the regular TDE installed. Please refer to my release announcement (At the bottom of the december month in the mailing list) and you will understand why I call it like that! I will make another PCLOS remaster with TDE when the next release of TDE will be available, especially if more than 2 persons try it :) -Alexandre
