1) you don't send your wish for the new year :-)
Sorry, this was a grave error on my part. Also, I have nobody with whom to
celebrate the ancient festival of Saturnalia, as other people seem to
gravitate to purely secular activities, and neglect the rites of the old
gods.
I send out New Year's greetings and best wishes to all sentient beings in all
universes and multiverses. We can only hope that this next year is better. If
enough of us can work for peace and good will, that would give some hope.
2) you send me two mails, the number two
<andre_debian(a)numericable.fr>
is now out of use (numericable.fr has stopped).
Somehow I send out duplicate mails to this list, even though I send out only
one email from my machine. As for your email address, changed or not: I only
hit "reply" and did not check your address. To my knowledge, everything is
sent to and from the Trinity mailing list address; some of our email
addresses are blocked (as I was hoping to block mine), in order to avoid
email harvesting and spammers.
There are some
packages which have "-trinity" added to the name.
This seems to
be an issue only of naming, in order to avoid conflicts due to legacy
packages left over from the old KDE3. Others may know better.
I believe that we have been discussing this same issue under the
heading "tde
update disaster, helllppppp!!!!!!" (started by Gene Heskett). See those
posts.
If your issue sounds similar to what is described in that thread, then
first I would try this: "sudo apt-get purge tdm-trinity && apt-get
install tdm-trinity" (from Slavek's recommendation), and after that,
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity".
On reboot, your system ought to be more or less normal. (I did have to
reconfigure my customized login page, and again had to enable the secure
authentication feature, but otherwise it's all good now. Bill
Yes, now it works.
Thanks, Regards,
Andre
Even though TDE still has some annoying bugs, it still works 1000 times better
than any other desktop!
