He is attempting to use Alexandre's remaster. This is a perfectly OK mailing list for him to approach. indeed, there's no reason to take this issue to someone who had nothing to do with it. he's trying to sweep this under the rug. i'm going to re-install it, perhaps something went wrong the first time? it did say it was going to remove certain "hardware programs" because they weren't supported by my setup.

Doesn't affect a digit of your install and I can't it call it inconvenient either. It just is , till June release.

It seemed that the mainboard had video built in and plugging in an external AGP card didn't disable the onboard one properly. It looked like the memory map had a hole where the on board video card memory was located, but the OS didn't know not to use it. The net result was that there were no icons and the ones that were visible were just black rectangles with no text. Changing the external video card did alter the apearance of the desktop, whilst removing it completly did allow an almost normal but low resolution desktop to be seen. Replacing the mainboard solved the problem. HTH. -- Best Regards: Baron

Topic covering development of the builds: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,131668.0.html Similar to the OP's experience, I understand that the installed minime version is a lot plainer than the live version. That would be a good thing because the panel in the live version is a crowded mess (I haven't tried installing it yet).

Hi all, First of all, thank you Lisi for trying to calm down these folks! I'm not always on the computer, and I had quite a big week! The worse in that is that the user coudn't figure out that he made a mistake, and not that my hundred-times-tested PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster has such a problem... Are-we facing a code 18 :) The install can be started by 2 ways: Regular way: By the install icon on the desktop while running the LiveCD The ''low-ram'' way: By selecting to go directly to the installer on the grub menu of the LiveCD Once the partitions has been made and the stuff is installed (I don't remember if it is right after, or at first boot), the system ask for creating an user. You have to create an user, or else the system is going to be used by nobody :) During the user creating process, the PCLinuxOS installer copy the skeleton of what is needed in the user folder. This is made automatically, but if you want to know it for your own knowledge, it is in /etc/skel/. The only thing I can see is that you probably skipped creating an user for any reason. Then, login with the user you just created and you're ready to go! Once TDE R14.0.1 will be out, I will rebuild my remaster on top of it, but for now I stick to 3.5.13.2 for reasons pointed out by Lisi. Also, the point of having so much stuff on the LiveCD is to have almost everything ''on board'' to setup a freshly formatted computer without needing to install stuff that you would install anyway, such as LibreOffice, and maybe as LIsi said I might like complexity :) Have a great day! -Alexandre

Yes, it might be possible. As a long-time Asus EEE user, I know that software such as Unetbootin, which is used for transferring the liveCD iso image to a usb key, is not always 100% reliable first time, but specially in this case, I guess that it is a code 18. Have a great day! -Alexandre

we can close this thread. the problem was/is there are two file managers (or 'de') but the default is not tde. rather the default interface is 'icewm' which looks like garbage. i dunno why icewm was not only included but made the default interface, but it caused problems. anyway, the installation didn't look like the demo so i went with something else. a real pity because it was one of the best looking desktops i've ever seen, and i would have enjoyed using it. thanks everyone for the tips, but i've moved on. this isn't worth the hassle. --- Original Message --- From: Dave Lers &lt;lists(a)dalrun.com&gt; To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Re: [trinity-users] What is WRONG With TDE PClinuxOS???

While new installs usually have a couple of desktop icons, they aren't mandatory (should Alexandre's install have icons?). What seems strange is that he didn't mention the panel/main menu, or lack thereof - is the install broken, or does it just look different? PCLOS builds numerous iso's ranging from MiniMe (CD size, minimal install, the name of Dr Evil's 1/8th size clone in Austin Powers movies) to FullMonte (full DVD size, standard release plus extras, British slang for 'the works'). The initial (both unofficial) Trinity iso became Big Daddy, presumably to differentate it from the smaller Trinity MiniMe iso. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

i re-installed and it's still screwed up. this time i noticed that the file manager isn't 'tde', rather its 'icewm' how did that happen?!? --- Original Message --- From: Slávek Banko &lt;slavek.banko(a)axis.cz&gt; To: trinity-users(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Subject: Re: [trinity-users] What is WRONG With TDE PClinuxOS???

All this bruhhah about PClinuxOS has caused me to sit here a few minutes longer. I ran it on this box for about a year, but some might call me a power user. My parting of the ways was when I needed to build something for the 3rd or 4th time, but the libraries to built it were not avaiable in the repos, AND Texstar refused to add them. Net result was I installed the kit I needed in the form of a wheezy based iso put up by the linuxcnc crowd. I haven't had to do searching since as it uses the wheezy repo's except for a pinned kernel.
