I am needing THE CORRECT way to install TDE on Suse Leap?
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.
Thanks,
Chris

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.

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.

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.

I've been meaning to update ya'll on what happened... I've had my computer down for awhile, trying other things, and just set my email back up in Thunderbird.
I gave up on Trinity.
I installed SUSE LEAP 16
I did what Leslie said , the sudo zypper in trinity-desktop-all
and all I got when I logged in was this: ( see attached photo)
Thanks,

I always start with minimal basics:
zypper in trinity-tdm trinity-tdebase
I don't know what's in trinity-desktop-all, but IIRC, if you want the entire kitchen sink, according to https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall, all you need install is trinity-desktop.

Quite a while back I noticed that with trinity-desktop, a lot of applications did not install automagically and I had to select them via YaST.
