I can't find a ppa for v3.5.12. There seems to be no equivalent: ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.12/ubuntu lucid main , etc.
Try this:
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu lucid main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu lucid main
Thanks, Tim!
And, to be clear, going from 3.5.11->3.5.12->3.5.13 will ease me through all the name changes from *-kde3 to *-trinity?? I don't want to FUBAR this 'production' workstation -- well, not beyond the usual few glitches?
Yes, it will ease you through everything. I can't guarantee that everything will be glitch-free (see other posts on this list regarding the upgrade process), but this will be the easiest way to go.
And, I believe the best approach is to:
- apt-get update/upgrade the system in the current configuration
- boot to a command line
- Change the Trinity ppa sources to 3.5.12
- apt-get update/upgrade to pull in 3.5.12
- boot into TDE and look around.... then upgrade to 3.5.13
Back in March I was successful in dragging both my desktop and netbook from lucid+kde3.5.11 to lucid+trinity3.5.13.1. All updates/upgrades went Just Fine.
Today I dug out a laptop that was loaded with lucid+kde3.5.11 and had been "gathering dust on the shelf" for about a year. I now have a use for it. I attempted to upgrade to trinity 3.5.12 (in order to then upgrade to trinity 3.5.13.1) with the above repositories. Alas, I got:

Back in March or April Tim had said he would give notice before removing those repositories, but I either missed it if that was the case, and/or they are gone for good.
How now to get this laptop from 3.5.11 to 3.5.13.1?
( I did a "test" setup to upgrade directly to 3.5.13.1, but replied ( "No" when asked to proceed after the BIG List of new/updated -trinity ( modules was presented. So, those repositories will probably work ( for me _if_ I could get this laptop to 3.5.12... )
Happy New Year!! Jonesy
