Hi Brad, There are a few minor conflicts that can be worked around. One I recall involves sudo and another involves desktop-base. After some experimentation we now use sudo-trinity instead of sudo, but desktop-base instead of desktop-base-trinity. In order to do this we remove both the desktop-base-trinity and kde-trinity packages, but we install most or all of their depends depending upon how much "stuff" is needed on a particular workstation. Some people (including us) have a problem with kdm-trinity, so we use kdm from KDE 4, which unfortunately brings in some extra KDE 4 libraries. We use phonon-backend-null here to avoid KDE 4 sound drivers. FWIW, I've appended our trinity seed package list. We install all of these "--no-recommends" except amarok-trinity. Also if you want a working ktorrent find an old copy of ktorrent2.2 as it is still by far the best. Trinity is well worth the effort. Our test users love it and it's improving far faster than KDE 4 (which as of our our last test a couple of weeks ago STILL can't install a working KMail). KDE 3.5: 9/10 Trinity: 8/10 KDE 4.4: 2/10 Please contact me on list or off if I can be of any further assistance. --Mike Bird amarok-engine-xine-trinity amarok-trinity exiv2-trinity gwenview-trinity k3b-trinity kdeaddons-trinity kde-core-trinity kdemultimedia-trinity kdeutils-trinity kgamma-trinity kghostview-trinity kipi-plugins-trinity kivio-trinity klaptopdaemon-trinity kmail-trinity knemo-trinity konversation-trinity kpdf-trinity kpowersave-trinity krita-trinity kscreensaver-xsavers-trinity ksnapshot-trinity kuickshow-trinity kviewshell-trinity kview-trinity kweather-trinity sudo-trinity kdm phonon-backend-null -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
