Trinity project announcement
by Timothy Pearson 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

It is with great pride that I introduce the long-awaited fork of KDE3.5, codename Trinity. The main project Web site is available at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net, and uploads of all the Kubuntu KDE3.5 features and bugfixes to official SVN are in progress as I write this. There are three new mailing lists that I encourage people to join. They are: * trinity-announce(a)pearsoncomputing.net (a low traffic list for Trinity announcements) * trinity-users (high traffic list where users can discuss the use of Trinity on any distro) * trinity-devel (medium traffic list for Trinity developers) Bugs in Trinity will be handled through the existing bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net This project will keep the KDE3.5 experience alive for the foreseeable future, while polishing off remaining rough edges and adding new features. Developers are wanted. As with the original KDE, you don't have to write code to be of help--artists, documentation/Wiki help, and UI design/review people are needed as well. If you are interested in supporting the Trinity project, please contact me at kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net or write to the trinity-devel list. Let's keep the efficient KDE3.5 interface alive! Timothy Pearson Trinity Developer

The new release of Ubuntu, Jaunty Jackalope 9.04, with KDE3.5 installed is now available for download! The LiveCDs have been built, tested, and are now finalized for Jaunty. Detailed instructions for installation on an existing Intrepid or Jaunty system are available here: http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net For information on starting out from scratch, i.e. installing from a LiveCD, see here: http://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty LiveCD ISO downloads and torrents are currently available at http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages Binary patches will be uploaded tomorrow. As always, I am eager to get feedback from users! Send me an Email, post something to the Wiki feedback page, or send a message on kubuntu-kde3.5-users; I look forward to hearing from you!

KDE3.5 Jaunty Beta LiveCD Image Available--Testers Wanted!
by Timothy Pearson 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

I have just finished building a KDE3.5 LiveCD for Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, available here: http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages/ Currently, only the i386 image is available for download, but I am working hard to compile the amd64 version as well. Are there any brave souls willing to try this image out and give me some feedback as to the installed program selections, stability of live and installed systems, default theme, etc.? If so, please report back to the kubuntu-kde3.5-users list or file some bugs! :-) Tim

Repository location change
by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

The KDE3.5 repository has been migrated to a new team PPA, and in the next month or so I will be heavily modifying the PPA that you are currently using. I have updated the instructions on http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net to reflect the new team PPA, so please update your system with the new repository information as soon as possible. Be sure to update the GPG key as well, by following the instructions under "Add the GPG signing key". This will not affect your current software installation--the binaries have been copied directly from the existing PPA with no modifications. I am only requesting that you update the repository locations in an effort to prevent future problems, as the old PPA will become a development/testing PPA in the future. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your KDE3.5 installation! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer

Update complete!
by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net 08 Mar '09

08 Mar '09

The update is finally complete! You may now update and then file bugs on the bug tracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net as needed. Before filing a bug, please check the following: 1. Make sure *all* of the available updates are actually installed. KDE3.5 is made up of many small packages, and some of them can "slip though the cracks" and not get updated by your package manager. The simple way to test this is to open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (without the quotes). 2. Does the bug still exist when you log in as a brand new user? If not, then one of your profile's configuration files (located in ~/.kde3) is most likely out of date, and you will need to find and update it manually. This repository is finally Debian directory structure compliant, and also compatible with any new version of KDE4 due to the prefix change. I hope this will make the transition to Jaunty quite smooth. As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net

Bugtracker back online
by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

The KDE3.5 bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net is back online. I ask the you refrain from filing new bugs until the current update is complete, at which point another announcement will be made. Status of update: I am still ironing out some bugs in kdebase and Compiz, but I have successfully run Compiz in the new prefix on my test machine. I hope that this update will be completed on schedule in the next couple of days. Thank you for your patience! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net
