minimal trinity installation
by Stefan Endrullis 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi, is there a way to install the Trinity Desktop Environment without installing nearly all KDE3 programs such as digikam, ...? The proposed package kubuntu-desktop-trinity has IMO quite a lot dependencies. Is there a certain package which only provides the DE? So that Trinity can be started from kdm or gdm? Regards, Stefan

Installation problem on Ubuntu oneiric (ksmserver-trinity fails to install)
by Stefan Endrullis 14 Nov '11

Hi, when I try to install Trinity 3.5.13 on my Ubuntu oneiric machine the package "ksmserver-trinity" fails to install. Apt-get shows the following error: > dpkg-divert: error: `diversion of /usr/bin/plasma to /usr/bin/plasma.kde4 by ksmserver-trinity' clashes with `local diversion of /usr/bin/plasma to /usr/bin/plasma.kde4' > dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/ksmserver-trinity_4%3a3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1261450+pr23~oneiric_amd64.deb (--unpack): > subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 (full output of "apt-get -f install" in appendix) I suppose this is a bug, but is there a way to work around it?

problem installing dev packages for 3.5.13
by Werner Joss 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I would like to compile kde3 stuff for trinity, without compiling all of trinity first. so I tried to install kdelibs4-trinity-dev but this fails: Die folgenden NEUEN Pakete werden zusätzlich installiert: comerr-dev{a} hspell{a} kdelibs4-trinity-dev{b} krb5-multidev{a} ... ....... 0 Pakete aktualisiert, 93 zusätzlich installiert, 0 werden entfernt und 0 nicht aktualisiert. Muss 28,7 MB an Archiven herunterladen. Nach dem Entpacken werden 92,7 MB zusätzlich belegt sein. Die folgenden Pakete haben verletzte Abhängigkeiten: kdelibs4-trinity-dev: Hängt ab von: gettext-kde, welches ein virtuelles Paket ist. libarts1-trinity-dev: Hängt ab von: libogg-dev-la, welches ein virtuelles Paket ist. Die folgenden Aktionen werden diese Abhängigkeiten auflösen: Beibehalten der folgenden Pakete in ihrer aktuellen Version: 1) kdelibs4-trinity-dev [Nicht installiert] 2) libarts1-trinity-dev [Nicht installiert] (which means something like 'keep kdelibs4-trinity-dev' although it is not installed !) reply Yes gives no result (nothing downloaded, nothing installed). in addition, there is a dependency for kdelibs4-trinity-dev mentioned: gettext-kde, which is not available. what am I missing ? werner p.s. my setup is debian squeeze, trinity updated from 3.5.12 to 3.5.13

TDE on Mepis Linux
by Thierry de Coulon 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Hi all, I have been following TDE development, howeverI don't like Ubuntu's "way of life" and Debian Squeese lacked some drivers I need, so I've been using Squeese based Mepis 11 for the last moths (Warren finaly put together a usable KDE 4.x desktop). With the release of TDE 3.5.13 I decided to look if I could install it on Mepis. I followed the instructions for Squeese and actually everything went smoothly, except that update-initramfs failed, so I had to run it again with -t -u The problem I'm trying to solve is this: after reboot, I was able to choose TDE as environment for my session. However, I get a "Could not start kdeinit. check your installation" message. When I click "OK", TDE seems to load correctly, but kicker crashes on me very often, some settings can't be done (e.g. I cant change the clock, clicking on "configure clock" crashes kicker). I don't seem to find the TDE settings, which I would expect to be linked to this error too. Where should I look to try and understand *what* prevents kdeinit to start? I'm not sure if this culd be a KDE 4 / TDE conflict. This is not a production install, so I can try almost anything. thanks for any suggestions, Thierry

additional programs for 3.5.13
by Werner Joss 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

hello all, I just want to announce that I have now succeeded in building most of my favourite kde 3.5 applications which are not in the trinity repos, for trinity 3.5.13 on debian squeeze, see http://www.hoernerfranzracing.de/zip/trinity/index.html if anyone is interested, feel free to check them out. but keep in mind, that these are _not_ official trinity packages, nor guaranteed to work as expected, though I can confirm *worksforme* :) werner p.s.: I'll also ask on the devel list if there is interest for any of these to be incorporated in the official trinity applications tree (in which case I will first have to learn how to build proper debian packages...)

I'll test this a little more before installing on my production machine, I have some important things to do this week. I downloaded all the other repository packages (libqt-compat-headers and so). Should I install them as well? Have a nice day, Thierry

Squeeze/TDE 3.5.13 - failed upgrade
by Neil Youngman 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Unwisely, perhaps, I attempted an upgrade from within a running desktop. I replaced my sources.list entries for TDE with: # Trinity desktop deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian squeeze main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… squeeze main aptitude update succeeded on the second attempt and then I ran aptitude upgrade. The first sign of trouble was that the window manager crashed as the update was applied. I was left with only the running windows and no borders. The only way to switch windows was to click in a different window, so I shut them all down with CTRL-Q and then I selected "end current session from a right-click menu. This dropped me straight back to a command line. All attempts to restart X and KDM failed, so I rebooted to see if that made any difference. I was still stuck at the command line, so I reverted my sources.list and tried to revert kdm. That failed with dependency issues, so I wiped all of trinity 3.5.13 and reinstalled 3.5.12, which restored my desktop to normal functioning. Neil Youngman

PulseAudio?
by Peter Laws 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

KMix seems to default to that, but seems to have no control over audio when it does. If I select "HDA Intel", all is well. What is PulseAudio and if I don't need it can I get rid of it?

Why replace libgcc1, libstc++6, et al?
by Mike Bird 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

I am upgrading Debian Squeeze systems from TDE 3.5.12 to 3.5.13. The upgrades seem to work fine omitting the following packages: gcc-4.5-base 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgcc1 1:4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgfortran3 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libgomp1 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 libstdc++6 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 i386 I am loathe to install non-Debian versions of these packages in case they cause problems with other Debian software, either now or in future. Is there any reason why Trinity needs to replace such critical packages? Thanks, --Mike Bird
