I'm having a trouble getting Trinity working on Mageia 6. I've installed via the official URPMI repositories, using the trinity-desktop package to ensure all dependencies are present.

I have never heard of Mageia - was it working in the older 5 version? if it is based on RH (as you mentioned URPMI) perhaps some of the people using such systems may help.

In my opinion it could be anything that causes your trouble. Most of all the TDE team provides integration into couple of distributions. Using not such a distribution very likely leads to such situations. You could try providing such integration for Mageia.

From what you are describing it looks like the installation of the packages

did not work well - but I don't know how URPMI works.

Let us know which repo and TDE version you used.

One line history lesson: Mageia was founded by the Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) people who were booted out after the company was taken over by a Russian investor.

Yes, it was working on Magiea 5 and every previous version. Trinity works with Mageia 6 on my laptop, but not my desktop PC, so the basic disto integration is OK, except for the missing symlink (easily solved...). The packages were installed using the official Trinity repository for Mageia, described here:

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Mageia_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instr...

This contains R14.0.4.

I unofficially maintained the Trinity Mandriva packages for a while back in the "early days", but then official packages were put out (which were better than mine), so I stopped.

I'm hoping that somebody here can guide me so that I can get a proper crash message out of the startup procedure which might give me a clue as to why this is failing, I've never previously had a case where Trinity crashed one system, but another. There may still be some stray library somewhere that hasn't upgraded, it might be my NFS set up, or it might be in some way hardware dependent. I just can't tell because the backtrace only stays on screen for about a second.

I've got a media centre system which is also on Mageia 6, but I never bothered to install Trinity on there, so I might give it a go as a next step to see if it works or not in lieu of suggestions here.
