I might be interested in an implementation but my feeling is - the Banana Pi is more worth to work with. It's nearly as cheap as the Raspberry but is a lot better designed and more powerfull: Raspberry Pi Model B+ Banana Pi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SoC Broadcom BCM2835 Allwinner A20 CPU ARM1176JZF-S (700 MHz bis 1000 MHz) ARM Cortex-A7 Dual-Core (1000 MHz) GPU Broadcom VideoCore IV ARM Mali 400MP2 RAM 512 MByte 1 GByte DDR3 DRAM LAN 10/100 MBit/s 10/100/1000 MBit/s GPIO 17 Pins 26 Pins, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN bus SATA 7-Pin-SATA-Port USB 4x USB 2.0 Host 2x USB 2.0 Host, 1x USB OTG, 1x CSI Kamera MISC Onboard Micro und IR-Receiver SIZE 85,6 mm x 56,0 mm 92,0 mm x 60,0 mm Price here in Germany: 29 € versus 44 € Gerhard PS: hope the crude table formatting goes through

by Uwe Brauer 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hello Now that R14 is released, I presume that the installation (for example for Ubuntu 14.04) are similar to the one found https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/UbuntuInstall However I propose to add the R14 instructions if possible. regards Uwe Brauer

Hello It seems that apt-file search does not work for the trinity rep. Are there any plans to support it? thanks Uwe Brauer

exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso
by Baron 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi Guys, David, I've downloaded and burnt a CD from exegnu-jessv-20141125.iso. Its fine, checksum matches. So I thought that I would try it as a live CD on this, my usual machine. The CD boots up as I would expect except for a couple of things. After all the boot process, I'm left with a text screen with a list of boot processes, which never finishes. The last item refers to IPV6 and a blank line. Pressing enter gives me a prompt at which if I enter "startx" takes me to a totally black screen. I minute later I get the start screen for "exegnu" as a panel in the top left corner of the screen. After this screen has finished I'm left with the normal taskbar at the bottom and a totally black background. I cannot get anything from any mouse button on this background, I can however access items from the normal menu and the icons on the taskbar. Locating the screen menu items, whilst it allows me to go through the settings, does nothing. Curiously the "Scan rate" box shows zero and is not changable. Everything else seems to function as I would expect. The machine is a 3Ghz intel P4 dual core, 1.5Gb ram, on board 64Mb SIS 661 Graphics, SIS 661FX chipset, SIS 7012 sound, SIS 900 Ethernet. HTH. -- Best Regards: Baron

What about a Trinity Raspberry Pi Raspbian-based image?
by Alexandre 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Hi, I'm thinking about making a Trinity Raspberry Pi image based on Raspbian, mostly because I don't see feature-full ready-to-use images avilable for the Raspberry Pi. All of the available images are very minimal and need some work to get to something interesting. I'm thinking about having all the regular common-use Linux software such as LibreOffice and Firefox, with a full-feature TDE desktop environment. So, I'd like to know if there would be some interest in it, if it worth doing it. Also, how many persons here have a Pi? Thank you! -Alexandre

TDE mirror system upgrades
by Timothy Pearson 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA224 All, In response the flood of reported issues pertaining to the TDE mirror system and Debian/Ubuntu update failures I have re-designed the TDE content distribution system. You should notice far fewer, if any, outright 404 failures and/or package inconsistencies. The bad news is that relatively new files are being transferred straight from the TDE servers and you will notice a severely throttled download speed for those files. However, in light of the issues being reported with the previous system this small disadvantage seems far preferable. Debian/Ubuntu users, please test and report back. Thanks!

[trinity-users] Exe GNU/Linux, Jessie, no-systemd
by David Hare 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

A new (experimental) Exe GNU/Linux version exegnu-jessv-20141109.iso is available. It is current TDE R14 on (mostly current and original) Debian Jessie. All *systemd* packages are excluded using /etc/apt/preferences. Recompiled (without *systemd*) libpulse0 (mplayer dep) and dbus are used. Cups version is pinned to 1.7.1-5. A few important packages may be missing or not working properly. There is only me to test it so far, any help appreciated. Updates will follow. http://exegnulinux.net/downloads/jessie/

Off-topic: systemd
by Steven D'Aprano 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

I know this is off-topic, but some people have expressed extremely strong opinions about systemd. I haven't been following all the posts on that, so I hope this doesn't duplicate what has already been said, but here is an article by the author of an alternative to systemd, "uselessd". http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/ProSystemdAntiSystemd/ -- Steven

LibreOffice problem - TDE / KDE File Picker !?
by Thierry de Coulon 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hello all, Today I installed two versions of LO (4.3.4 at first, 4.2.7 later) on openSUSE+TDE 3.5.13.2 ; I have 4.2.5 running with no problem on a similar setup (albeit on another hardware). The problem is that when I try to install extensions LO freezes. I first thought it might be a problem of the latest version, that's why I tried 4.2.x, but no change. I then tried running it as root, same thing. In the end I read the crash message better (when it announced the install dialog had terminated) and noticed it talked about "KDE File Picker". I do have the basic components of KDE 4 installed (pulled in by some dependencies) but not the DE. I switched back to XFCE, started LO and installed the extensions with no problem. Back in TDE I can use the extensions. So this File Picker the culprit. Obviously LO can "see" when "KDE" is running, and uses another "file picker" if not. Is it trying to run a KDE 4 element under TDE, and crashed? Is it trying to use some TDE software but does not manage it? Maybe when everything is renamed "TDE" this sort of situation will be easier to debug. Thinking about my workaround, I remembered a setup point in options/general that offers to "Use LibreOffice dialogue boxes". Selecting that cures the problem. But it does not tell me if this is a TDE or KDE issue. Thierry
