I've done it!
by Neil Youngman 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Finally, more than 3 months after discovering Trinity, I've bitten the bullet. I've nuked KDE4 and installed Trinity. My desktop now feels like it's mine again. The upgrade wasn't entirely smooth. It took a bit of effort to make sure KDE4 was completely wiped and a fair number of Gnome packages seemed to be collateral damage in the Trinity installation. I don't think anything important went. After installing trinity, I no longer had a graphical login and startx gave me Gnome desktop. I tried "dpkg-reconfigure kdm-trinity", which failed because kdm-trinity wasn't installed! After installing kdm-trinity, the desktop looks good and seems much more responsive than KDE4. The only other glitches so far were kmail complaining about corrupt indexes and not finding my incoming email settings. After the indexes were rebuilt and I replaced the missing incoming account, it seems to be working well. I haven't been using Trinity long enough to be entirely confident, but it's looking nice and I'm sure I won't go back to KDE4. Neil Youngman

home directory is the desktop, instead of ~/Desktop
by Volker Wysk 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hello On the Desktop the contents of ~/Desktop are no longer displayed. Instead, the contents of my home directory (~) appear. How do I get the old condition back? I've reinstalled Trinity, but I'm not sure what I've done leading to this. Bye

Upgrade lenny -> squeeze
by Brad Alexander 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

I'm having an issue with my daughter's netbook that I just upgraded from lenny to squeeze. The main problem is that it is 2100 miles away. In any case, I did the upgrade according to the squeeze release notes. When I did the upgrade, I changed the sources.list to point to squeeze, including trinity. However, it deinstalled kde-trinity, kdemultimedia-trinity and kdewebdev-trinity. So after the upgrade, I tried to reinstall. # apt-get install kde-trinity kdemultimedia-trinity kdewebdev-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdemultimedia-trinity : Depends: libarts1-xine-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1175295) but it is not going to be installed kdewebdev-trinity : Depends: quanta-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kommander-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages What do I need to do to get this reinstalled? Thanks, --b

Can't reach keyserver - "host not found"
by Xyzzy 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I've been happily using Trinity for a couple of weeks, and needed to reinstall it after changing distros -- but the GPG keyserver (command copied from instructions) is coming up as host not found. Here's what I get from a nslookup: Server: 156.154.71.16 Address: 156.154.71.16#53 ** server can't find keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net: NXDOMAIN PS. Thank you (to anyone working on the project) for creating, working on, and hosting Trinity. I first installed Linux in Spring 2008 and KDE 3 was what made me fall in love with it!

Printing problems
by Brad Alexander 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi, I am having a problem setting up printing on my daughter's computer, which is running Debian/lenny. She got an HP Deskjet 3050 wireless printer, and CUPS sees it just fine, however, when I try to print a test page from cups, it says Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! However, whenever I try to print a test page from within Trinity, using kcontrol -> Printers, I get the following message: A print error occured. Error message received from system: cupsdoprint -P 'HP_DJ_3050' -J KDE Print Test' -H '127.0.0.1:631' -U 'user' -o 'multiple-document-handling=separate=documents-uncollated-copies orientation-requested=3' '/opt/trinity/share/apps/kdeprint/testprint.ps' " execution failed with message: successful-ok Any idea whats going on here and how to fix it? My other problem is that I don't have physical access to the box, only over secure connection. Thanks, --b
