I had a problem with my new ubuntu 10.10 install. After I installed
trinity kde3.5 I could no longer use ssh, I could no longer connect to
my local LAN desktop server & my IMAP folders, and wireless would no
longer connect ( it kept telling me my password was wrong).
a reinstall of ubuntu 10.10 ( separate /home folder, so all my emails &
settings remained) and now I can ssh, use IMAP and wireless works
flawlessy again.

Firstly my thanks and congratulations to the Trinity project for such
great work and the support for Debian. It is my desktop of choice for
Debian Squeeze and looks really nice, more so than the (old) kde
defaults. In fact I have run Trinity (ubuntu packsges) on Debian
Squeeze since last November. It idles at around 100MB ram usage.
I now have a fresh Squeeze install with Trinity from the new
Trinity-Debian repos. This was done using debootstrap and chroot.
Trinity-kde was installed with apt-get (in the chroot) using a text
list of specific packages. I use these methods to minimise bloat.
The only issue is, kdesu. I saw an earlier post on this but no
resolution. Is nobody else getting this?
I can't change the clock or get root from kcontrol, kuser, etc. The
workaround is sudo or sux (/opt/trinity/bin needs to go in roots
$PATH) in a konsole to open kde apps
I do not like to use sudo by preference but in this case I have set my
user in /etc/sudoers. (works as expected otherwise, e.g. <sudo kwrite>
is successful)
Ideally I would like to disable sudo altogether and just use su, sux and kdesu.
kdesudo-trinity is installed.
In my old Squeeze install I fixed kdesu by adding a text file
~/.kde3/share/config/kdesurc containing:
[super-user-command]
super-user-command=su
No luck with that on the new install
In konsole:
dzz@exelinux:~$ kdesudo kwrite
/usr/bin/xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":0.0"
No protocol specified
kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
dzz@exelinux:~$ kdesu kwrite
/usr/bin/xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":0.0"
No protocol specified
kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
. Any ideas what is wrong?
Just an FYI..
I installed Ubuntu 10.10, trinity, xiphos 3.1.3-3 and Libreoffice on my
ancient Dell XPS laptop..
I had a small issue where trying to install/upgrade packages, clicking
on the bible-commentaries didn't open up the tabs to select, but
restarting xiphos fixed that.
