I am needing THE CORRECT way to install TDE on Suse Leap?
There's more than one way, and they depend on whether you want the kitchen sink, or just the basics as a starting point from which to determine the apps you care to use.
The directions on the internet are for WAY OLDER versions of Leap, as I talked about in my last post, and
those directions don't work.
Well, I'm able to browse to both
https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/oss160/trinity-r14/RPMS/x8... https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/oss160/trinity-r14/RPMS/no...
so they ought to work properly.
In the noarch repository you will find meta-packages
trinity-desktop trinity-desktop-all trinity-desktop-applications trinity-desktop-devel
and I generally install -desktop, -desktop-all and -desktop-applications, which should get you just about everything.
If you don't want to start with everything, start with what I start with. After enabling and refreshing repos, run:
zypper -v in trinity-tdm trinity-tdebase
That will get you the display/login manager, and a basic desktop session.
I manually enable minimal repos using one of two files I create in conjunction with or before an openSUSE or TDE release:
repo file TDE.repoA [TDE] autorefresh=0 baseurl=http://archive.trinitydesktop.net/trinity/rpm/oss160/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 keeppackages=0 name=TDE priority=90 type=rpm-md
repo file TDE.repoD [TDE] autorefresh=0 baseurl=http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/oss160/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86... enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 keeppackages=0 name=TDE priority=90 type=rpm-md
Only one of the two is needed to be copied into /etc/zypp/repos.d/, whichever is the repo you wish to use, minus the trailing A or D character. Switching between the two is a simple matter of copying one or the other to /etc/zypp/repos.d/TDE.repo prior to a
zypper ref
command or using Myrlyn to select which packages you wish installed.
