I've been running Ubuntu 10.04/Trinity -- all fat, dumb, and happy.
Especially happy.
Now, while poking around at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/
I see I should be/could be using Trinity v3.5.13.
I'm not.
I'm running Trinty 3.5.11. sigh...
My apt sources:
:
|$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list
|# KDE3 repositories
|
|deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
|deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
The http://www.trinitydesktop.org/ apt sources list for 10.04/Lucid contains:
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/ubuntu lucid
main
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1…
lucid main
deb-src
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.1… lucid
main
So , is it enough to change my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde3-maintainers.list
file to the trinity-v3.5.13 sources and apt-get update/upgrade?
Or, will I snafu my nicely running system?
Are there any gotchas?
Or, do I have to upgrade through trinity-v3.5.12 first -- somehow?
Thanks in advance,
Jonesy

The smoothest upgrade would be from 3.5.11->3.5.12->3.5.13. Upgrading
straight to 3.5.13 would involve removing large amounts of TDE packages,
then reinstalling them manually due to the name change from *-kde3 to
*-trinity.

And, to be clear, going from 3.5.11->3.5.12->3.5.13 will ease me through

Then you'll want to be sure to have a good backup of 3.5.12 before you
upgrade to 3.5.13. Some of us have had show-stopping issues with 3.5.13 and
have had to go back to 3.5.12 or to other DE's until the problems are sorted
out.

Because it's a 'production' system.
Whilst I appreciate Slavek's work in finding fixes for some of the problems
and making patched versions available I don't want to install
unofficial/third-party releases on my production systems.
I have a few systems here that I can use for testing (as and when I get the
time to do so) so it's no biggie if I need to change the software repo
settings to try new (unofficial/third-party) versions of software on them
and/or then possibly run into problems.
However, I wouldn't want to do this on my 'production' systems because not
only is there the risk of hitting other problems that stop you working but in
making them non-standard you increase the maintenance overhead and also leave
yourself open to potential problems in the future when you want to get those
systems back on to the official releases; with unofficial/third-party
releases you just can't predict what will happen - sure, most of the time
there aren't problems but I'm afraid that I've been in this game long enough
to have been hit by this.
So it's not because I don't have any faith in Slavek's patched releases that I
won't install them on my production systems; it's because, in addition to the
risk of 'new' problems, maintaining non-standard production systems takes up
production time that you really want to spend on production.

I realize that I did not keep 3.5.12 installation instructions up on the
website, however I have not deleted a TDE binary build yet. This may need
to change due to disk space constraints in the future, but I will try to
give at least 3 months of warning on the announce mailing list before I
delete anything. The 3.5.12 packages can be viewed here:

It looks like Slavek's backport are backports to 3.5.13 from the

However, Tim has passed along the (semi-hidden) 3.5.12 ppa(s) location.
I'll approach it that-a-way: 3.5.11 -> 3.5.12 -> 3.5.13
Then I'll look at Slavek's packages and see if any would interest me.
Thanks for the responses.

And, I believe the best approach is to:
1. apt-get update/upgrade the system in the current configuration
2. boot to a command line
3. Change the Trinity ppa sources to 3.5.12
4. apt-get update/upgrade to pull in 3.5.12
5. boot into TDE and look around....
Then , later . repeat 1-> 5 for 3.5.13

Well, maybe not "SOLVED". Rather, I once again have to publicly expose
my own failings.
When I installed this system (from a Ubuntu 10.04LTS/Trinity CD that I
downloaded from (memory fails me here...) ), I checked the [Help] on
konqueror's main toolbar:
Help -> About Trinity == "Trinity Desktop Environment Release 3.5.11
Help -> About konqueror == Konqueror 3.5.10 (Using 3.5.11 [Trinity])
So, I had to believe I was running KDE 3.5.11 [Trinity]. Right?
I never checked any further/deeper.
In a flash of unusual wisdom, last night I did a `dpkg -l`:

So, it looks like I have 3.5.12 in place already -- dis-irregardless of
what About Trinity and About Konqueror have to say...
I apologize about the noise I've injected here. And, I thank Tim and
Slavek for trying to be so helpful.
(In any case,
I don't believe 'we' ever found a good, working 3.5.12 repository.)
Now to move on to 3.5.13....
Thanks, and my apologies.
Jonesy

And, I believe the best approach is to:
1. apt-get update/upgrade the system in the current configuration
2. boot to a command line
3. Change the Trinity ppa sources to 3.5.12
4. apt-get update/upgrade to pull in 3.5.12
5. 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.

How now to get this laptop from 3.5.11 to 3.5.13.1?

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 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.

Hi Jonesy,
You can use apt sources pointing directly to one of the mirrors:
deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity/debian squeeze main
deb http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/trinity-builddeps/debian squeeze main
Or upgrade from 3.5.11 straight to 3.5.13.x.
This would not be a problem.

New subject: [trinity-users] Trinity 3.5.11 to 3.5.13
I'm attempting to update this Lucid/10.04 laptop from the original
install of KDE (Trinity) 3.5.11 to Trinity 3.5.13
After some 'strange' results in the massive
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
processing with the 3.5.13 PPAs, I've got a problem with
this:
====================================================
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

How do I fix this and move on? `kpowersave` is a wee bit important to
the functioning of this laptop. :-)
Thanks in advance.
