I am using David Hare's excellent Exe but also wanted to try R14 on PCLinuxOS
as I am a long-time fan of that distro. I found instructions to install at:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/PCLinuxOSInstall
I did wonder, could it really be that easy?
Well, apparently not. Unfortunately, but not totally unexpected. I have found
computers and computing to be an incredible time sink. :-)
I received error messages ending with these:

Any help appreciated. This is my first time attempting this so I am a complete
novice; very complicated or technical info would be lost on me.
I did visit the repo link listed in the installation instructions using
Firefox,
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/
(which was redirected) and saw "pkglist.i586", etc., but nothing for i386.
I'm not sure what "noarch" means, but that was also there, but no i386.
Is that the problem or did I do something wrong? I attempted several times,
but of course I did much the same thing each time so if I'm doing something
wrong I just repeated it.
Thanks for reading,
Andy

Hello, try to manually update file : /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list
If you have i386 there, write i586 instead.
I will add links on the mirrors so that future users won't have to do so.

Thanks for the help! It worked... up to a point. Now I get a lot of 404 error
messages, just for the Trinity packages, such as:

I followed the links in Firefox and saw that the packages are there. But I had
been redirected from:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/ to
http://tde-mirror.yosemite.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/
Perhaps apt-get cannot follow this redirection? I don't know, but it seems
so.
Would it be acceptable to manually change this as I did in changing i386 to
i586?
Best regards,
Andy

This is weird ... even when using Firefox, I can browse to this URL:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/tr…
But, when going to this one, I get a 404 error:
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/rpm/pclinuxos/tr…
Probably an issue with the URL redirector.
Yes, you can edit your configuration file again, to change the URL and
use "yosemite" mirror directly.

Hi François and Andy,
Yes, I had this kind of trouble too the first time I installed TDE on PCLinuxOS. I had to
adapt the sources as you're doing right now. As I can understand it, it is a kind of
automated system to decide whether the x86 or the amd64 packages are to be installed, but
it does not seems to be 100% reliable.
I decided to skip doing my remaster with R14.0.0, as it still had some details making it
less awesome than 3.5.13.2, but R14.0.1 should be better. I will certainly build again my
PCLinuxOS non-official remaster when R14.0.1 will be released.
Have a great day!

Alexandre,
Thanks for the info. I'm sorry to hear that you won't be doing your remaster
with R14.0.0. It was my worry that you wouldn't do it that caused me to try
doing it myself. So far I think PCLinuxOS and R14 are a great combination!
Andy
Hi,
Great to hear that it is running well on your computer!
On mine, it crashed at logout almost everytime (the bug is now resolved for R14.0.1),
QTCurve style was not 100% working, along with the transparent Crystal window decoration,
and other stability issues. Thus, the last release will stay until R14.0.1.
Have a great day!
