On this page you can read the instructions to install Trinity Desktop Environment on your MX Linux system.

=='''MX Linux Summary'''==

MX Linux uses a combination of official Debian stable and antiX repositories in addition to their own repositories for keeping components current. MX Linux releases once per year and its versions are named based upon the year (MX-18 was released December 20, 2018).

Systemd is included by default but not enabled. No official support will be provided for users who choose to run MX Linux using systemd (see MX Users Manual for additional information).

Links: 
https://mxlinux.org/ 
https://mxlinux.org/manuals 
https://forum.mxlinux.org/ 

=='''Warnings / Notes'''==

There are no official TDE packages available for MX Linux. Per MX Linux forums, TDE has been installed sporadically on MX Linux back to ~2015. Michael has been running TDE in MX-18 (since 01/19) and MX-19 (since 07/20).

MX Linux uses a sources list directory system not a singular /etc/apt/sources.list file. If you are adding TDE manually create a separate file containing the TDE repositories and place it in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d .

<nowiki>
# ll /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinitydesktop.org.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 427 Jul 26 21:29 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinitydesktop.org.list
</nowiki>

You can install TDE in your computer in one of the following ways.

='''Available versions and architectures'''=

=='''R14.0.x series'''==

==='''MX-19 Automagically (mostly)'''===

We have an installation file for MX Linux 19.

'''Requirements''':

You will need to have installed MX Linux from the MX Live USB, or any other method that results in a full MX install that includes installing a Xfce desktop.

Note!: Prior to installing TDE, do a full update (and reboot if /boot was modified).

<nowiki>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
</nowiki>

'''To Install''':

Save the file [[Media:Tde.xml]] (Save Link As...) to your computer and rename it to tde.pm . Then copy it into /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist . Assuming you've saved it in your ~/Downloads folder:

<nowiki>
cd ~/Downloads
sudo cp tde.pm /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/
</nowiki>

: (Optional) To verify:

: <code>ls -al --color=always /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm</code>

: Output should be similar to this:
: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4489 Jul 26 21:24 /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm

Then from the Xfce desktop

<nowiki>Menu >> MX Tools >> MX Package Installer
{Tab} Popular Applications
{Expand} Desktop Environments
{Check} Trinity Desktop Environment
{Click} Install</nowiki>

* Reboot if /boot was modified during the TDE install process
* Logout of Xfce4
* Login

'''tde.pm does''':

* Adds extra code to handle sudo interactive needs.
* Adds wrappers to handle debconf, pkexec, and update-grub.
* Sets the default x-session-manager to trinity-desktop.

A somewhat long winded discussion can be found at: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=60417

==='''Manually (all versions)'''===

Use official TDE packages for Debian. Modify the instructions available at this [[DebianInstall|page]] with the below and use the corresponding Debian version as noted here.

* MX-19 - Use debian buster packages
* MX-18 - Use debian stretch packages
* MX-17 - Use debian stretch packages

Add the package manager lines as shown on the [[Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions#Configure_the_package_manager|Configure the package manager]] section to a file and place it in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Example MX-18:

<nowiki>root@local [/etc/apt/sources.list.d]# cat trinity-desktop-environment.list

Trinity Desktop Environment

Michael: remove cruft, center align link to categories

The [http://trinitydesktop.org Trinity Desktop Environment] (TDE) project is a feature rich desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining a traditional, efficient and productive user interface. 
TDE was born as a fork of the K Desktop Environment version 3.5, which was originally written by the KDE Team, a world-wide network of software engineers committed to Free Software development. The name Trinity was chosen because the word means Three as in continuation of KDE 3. Since then, TDE has evolved to be an independent and standalone desktop environment project. Over time, continued development has polished off many rough edges that were present in the final release of KDE 3.5.10 and many new and useful features have been added to keep the environment up-to-date.

The current stable release of TDE is '''R14.0.9''', which brings along several [https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.9 improvements and new applications] over the previous releases. 
One of the most notable features of the R14.0 series is the implementation of the Trinity Desktop Hardware Library (tdehwlib) that did away with dependency on HAL. With the HAL dependency removed, R14's foundation now rests solidly on current and maintained libraries and dependencies. For systems still based on HAL (such as *BSD), HAL support is still available as a building option.

The TDE development team is small but friendly. Anyone wanting to join the development process and help create the next TDE release is welcome! If you wish to participate, please take a look at the [https://www.trinitydesktop.org/helpwanted.php Get involved] page.

Tips And Tricks

2020-11-15T22:46:20Z

Michael: had to change "&&" to ";" so command would work correctly.

[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Community]]
[[Category:TipsAndTricks]]

This page is meant as a container of tips and tricks collected over time, addressing topics and issues brought up by TDE users.

==Using sudo and tdesudo==

If you use sudo or a sudo-based distribution (such as Ubuntu), it is highly recommended that you install the tdesudo-trinity package as well. This allows to run programs that require root priviledge from the TDE menu using your own password.
If tdesudo-trinity is not installed, you will be asked for the root password instead.
More details can be found [http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2563 here]

==Kmail Sanitize and Decrypt Mails==

[[Kmail_Sanitize_and_Decrypt_Mails|Kmail Sanitize and Decrypt Mails]] shows an example on how to create a filter in kmail that removes unwanted headers and automaticly decrypts incomming mails.

==Lock session and turn off screen==

This locks the session and after 3 seconds turns the screen off.

$ cat goodnight.sh

#!/bin/bash

dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
sleep 3
xset dpms force standby

For a ‘GUI’ you can add an Applet to your Panel that calls the Batch file.

==Un-Bogging down an Older system==

Your system runs pretty well until Firefox, an Office application, or some other high CPU usage application demands too many cycles and your system then ‘freezes’ for seconds or minutes until the application gets finished.

A simple, but somewhat tedious, solution is to add ‘nice’ to the launcher for each. Using LibreOffice as an example, add ‘nice -n 2 ’ before the command:

TDE Menu >> Office >> LibreOffice >> {right click} >> Edit Item

Change the ‘Command’ entry from:

libreoffice %U’

To:

nice -n 2 libreoffice %U

Then find every other entry for LibreOffice (LibreOffice Base, LibreOffice Draw, LibreOffice Math, LibreOffice Impress, etc.) and do the same.

Other ‘usual suspects’ to make nice are Browsers, BitTorrent Clients, Diff GUI tools, and occasionally PDF viewers.

Generally anything ‘real time’ you should leave alone (movies, gimp, games).

These were used on a Core2 Duo (P7570 @ 2.26GHz, CPU Mark: 926)

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
!Nice level
!Application Name
|-
|1
|Kmail
|-
|2
|LibreOffice
|-
|3
|Firefox
|-
|4
|qBittorrent
|-
|}

==Changing alternating row colors==

Alternating row colors in Konqueror, KMail, and probably a lot more, are not set as part of a theme. The are set in Colors:

TCC >> Appearance & Themes >> Colors >> Widget Color >> [Dropdown] Alternate Background in Lists

Who knew?

==Assigning a mouse click as part of a keyboard shortcut==

There are multiple ways to accomplish this. The best arguably was the first method, which has been lost to time.

In these examples we are trying to achieve:

{Windows Key} + {left mouse click} = Minimize application under mouse cursor

Change what you need to achieve what you want.

===Method 01: Lost===

As the name says it’s been lost. What is remembered is that:

* No additional software had to be installed
* The change was exceedingly minor.

===Method 02: xbindkeys, xdotool===

Buggy. This works, but the xdotool command used occasionally leaves an unfinished half keystroke hanging.

A): Go to:

Trinity Control Center >> Regional & Accessibility >> Keyboard Shortcuts
>> Shortcuts Schemes >> Global Shortcuts >> Windows

* Set "Minimize Window" to “Win+Space”

B): Issue these command(s) as root or using sudo.

$ apt-get install xbindkeys
$ apt-get install xdotool
$ apt-get install xbindkeys-config # << optional

C): Edit .xbindkeysrc

* Edit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
* Add:
<nowiki>
#MinimizeWindowUnderMouse
"xdotool click --clearmodifiers 1 key super+space"
m:0x40 + c:133 + b:1 + release</nowiki>

Note:
xbindkeys does not like superfluous comments within it’s definitions. Leaving prior entries commented out within the config definition caused odd, and inconsistent, results. ymmv.

D): Issue these command(s) as yourself

<code>
$ killall xbindkeys ; xbindkeys
</code>

E): To minimize any window

Move mouse over window, hold down Window key and click left mouse button.

===Method 03: xbindkeys, dcop and/or gdbus===

Basically the same as xbindkeys, xdotool but replacing xdotool with either a dcop or gdbus command. This is probably less ‘buggy’ than xdotool, unfortunately the writer doesn’t understand enough about either to make this work.

==Removing captions from K-Menu ==

Add following line into section [menus] in file ~/.trinity/share/config/kickerrc

ShowMenuTitles=false

==Adding a separator between windows button in the title bar ==
Open TDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Window Decorations and then select the "Buttons" tab. 
In the middle of the screen there is a list of possible buttons. Drag a separator (--- spacer ---) on the title bar of the sample window, between the buttons where you want to space to appear. 
Check the preview in the bottom part of the screen and modify again as required. 
Confirm when done.

==Log out of current TDE session ==

You can log out of the current TDE session and possibly shut down the system automaticly (depending on your TDE configuration) using this command:

dcop kdesktop default logout ["confirm" "type" "mode"]

You can append three parameters "confirm", "type", "mode" to determine the
logout behaviour according to the following values:

;First parameter "confirm"
:-1 -- Obey the user's confirmation setting
:0 -- Don't confirm, shutdown without asking
:1 -- Always confirm, ask even if the user turned it off

;Second parameter "type"
:-1 -- Select previous action or the default if it's the first time
:0 -- Only log out
:1 -- Log out and reboot the machine
:2 -- Log out and halt the machine

;Third parameter "mode"
:-1 -- Select previous mode or the default if it's the first time
:0 -- Schedule a shutdown (halt or reboot) for the time all active sessions have exited
:1 -- Shut down, if no sessions are active. Otherwise do nothing
:2 -- Force shutdown. Kill any possibly active sessions
:3 -- Pop up a dialog asking the user what to do if sessions are still active

'''Full stop example'''
Don't ask, log out and halt machine, killing any sessions

dcop ksmserver default logout 0 2 2

==Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to R14.0.x==

If you are migrating from KDE3 or upgrading from TDE 3.5.x, you can reuse your own settings in TDE R14.0.x.
When logging into R14.0.x for the first time, TDE will automatically execute a script which will migrate as many of your KDE3/TDE3.5.x settings as possible. At the end of the process, your KDE3/TDE3.5.x profile will still exist (unchanged) and a new TDE profile will have been created inside the '''~/.trinity''' folder.
 '''NOTE''' Please refrain from renaming your .kde into .trinity before running R14.0.x. If you do so, the migration process will not take part and some applications may not run smoothly after that. See [http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2356 here] for an example of problems that may arise if you rename your .kde folder manually.

==Upgrading from an old version (pre Dec/2014)==

Depending on your previous version of TDE, the file /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc may change from a script-generated file to a config file.
It is advisable to accept the newer file if you are upgrading from an old version to TDE >= R14.0.0.

# ll /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinitydesktop.org.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 427 Jul 26 21:29 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinitydesktop.org.list
</nowiki>

You can install TDE in your computer in one of the following ways.

='''Available versions and architectures'''=

=='''R14.0.x series'''==

==='''MX-19 Automagically (mostly)'''===

We have an installation file for MX Linux 19.

'''Requirements''':

You will need to have installed MX Linux from the MX Live USB, or any other method that results in a full MX install that includes installing a Xfce desktop.

Note!: Prior to installing TDE, do a full update (and reboot if /boot was modified).

<nowiki>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
</nowiki>

'''To Install''':

Save the file [[Media:Tde.xml]] (Save Link As...) to your computer and rename it to tde.pm . Then copy it into /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist . Assuming you've saved it in your ~/Downloads folder:

<nowiki>
cd ~/Downloads
sudo cp tde.pm /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/
</nowiki>

<nowiki>
ls -al --color=always /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4489 Jul 26 21:24 /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
</nowiki>

Then from the Xfce desktop

<nowiki>Menu >> MX Tools >> MX Package Installer
{Tab} Popular Applications
{Expand} Desktop Environments
{Check} Trinity Desktop Environment
{Click} Install</nowiki>

* Reboot if /boot was modified during the TDE install process
* Logout of Xfce4
* Login

'''tde.pm does''':

* Adds extra code to handle sudo interactive needs.
* Adds wrappers to handle debconf, pkexec, and update-grub.
* Sets the default x-session-manager to trinity-desktop.

A somewhat long winded discussion can be found at: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=60417

==='''Manually (all versions)'''===

Use official TDE packages for Debian. Modify the instructions available at this [[DebianInstall|page]] with the below and use the corresponding Debian version as noted here.

* MX-19 - Use debian buster packages
* MX-18 - Use debian stretch packages
* MX-17 - Use debian stretch packages

Add the package manager lines as shown on the [[Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions#Configure_the_package_manager|Configure the package manager]] section to a file and place it in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Example MX-18:

<nowiki>root@local [/etc/apt/sources.list.d]# cat trinity-desktop-environment.list

## Trinity Desktop Environment - TDE R14.0.x
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x stretch main
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x stretch main

deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x stretch main</nowiki>

=='''v3.5.13.2'''==

There is no support for this TDE version in MX Linux.

Tips And Tricks

[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Community]]
[[Category:TipsAndTricks]]

This page is meant as a container of tips and tricks collected over time, addressing topics and issues brought up by TDE users.

==Using sudo and tdesudo==

If you use sudo or a sudo-based distribution (such as Ubuntu), it is highly recommended that you install the tdesudo-trinity package as well. This allows to run programs that require root priviledge from the TDE menu using your own password.
If tdesudo-trinity is not installed, you will be asked for the root password instead.
More details can be found [http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2563 here]

==Kmail Sanitize and Decrypt Mails==

[[Kmail_Sanitize_and_Decrypt_Mails|Kmail Sanitize and Decrypt Mails]] shows an example on how to create a filter in kmail that removes unwanted headers and automaticly decrypts incomming mails.

==Lock session and turn off screen==

This locks the session and after 3 seconds turns the screen off.

$ cat goodnight.sh

#!/bin/bash

dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
sleep 3
xset dpms force standby

For a ‘GUI’ you can add an Applet to your Panel that calls the Batch file.

==Un-Bogging down an Older system==

Your system runs pretty well until Firefox, an Office application, or some other high CPU usage application demands too many cycles and your system then ‘freezes’ for seconds or minutes until the application gets finished.

A simple, but somewhat tedious, solution is to add ‘nice’ to the launcher for each. Using LibreOffice as an example, add ‘nice -n 2 ’ before the command:

TDE Menu >> Office >> LibreOffice >> {right click} >> Edit Item

Change the ‘Command’ entry from:

libreoffice %U’

To:

nice -n 2 libreoffice %U

Then find every other entry for LibreOffice (LibreOffice Base, LibreOffice Draw, LibreOffice Math, LibreOffice Impress, etc.) and do the same.

Other ‘usual suspects’ to make nice are Browsers, BitTorrent Clients, Diff GUI tools, and occasionally PDF viewers.

Generally anything ‘real time’ you should leave alone (movies, gimp, games).

These were used on a Core2 Duo (P7570 @ 2.26GHz, CPU Mark: 926)

!Nice level
!Application Name
|-
|1
|Kmail
|-

|LibreOffice
|-
|3
|Firefox
|-
|4
|qBittorrent
|-
|}

==Changing alternating row colors==

Alternating row colors in Konqueror, KMail, and probably a lot more, are not set as part of a theme. The are set in Colors:

TCC >> Appearance & Themes >> Colors >> Widget Color >> [Dropdown] Alternate Background in Lists

Who knew?

==Assigning a mouse click as part of a keyboard shortcut==

There are multiple ways to accomplish this. The best arguably was the first method, which has been lost to time.

In these examples we are trying to achieve:

{Windows Key} + {left mouse click} = Minimize application under mouse cursor

Change what you need to achieve what you want.

===Method 01: Lost===

As the name says it’s been lost. What is remembered is that:

* No additional software had to be installed
* The change was exceedingly minor.

===Method 02: xbindkeys, xdotool===

Buggy. This works, but the xdotool command used occasionally leaves an unfinished half keystroke hanging.

A): Go to:

Trinity Control Center >> Regional & Accessibility >> Keyboard Shortcuts
>> Shortcuts Schemes >> Global Shortcuts >> Windows

* Set "Minimize Window" to “Win+Space”

B): Issue these command(s) as root or using sudo.

$ apt-get install xbindkeys
$ apt-get install xdotool
$ apt-get install xbindkeys-config # << optional

C): Edit .xbindkeysrc

* Edit $HOME/.xbindkeysrc
* Add:
<nowiki>
#MinimizeWindowUnderMouse
"xdotool click --clearmodifiers 1 key super+space"
m:0x40 + c:133 + b:1 + release</nowiki>

Note:
xbindkeys does not like superfluous comments within it’s definitions. Leaving prior entries commented out within the config definition caused odd, and inconsistent, results. ymmv.

D): Issue these command(s) as yourself

<code>
$ killall xbindkeys && xbindkeys
</code>

E): To minimize any window

Move mouse over window, hold down Window key and click left mouse button.

===Method 03: xbindkeys, dcop and/or gdbus===

Basically the same as xbindkeys, xdotool but replacing xdotool with either a dcop or gdbus command. This is probably less ‘buggy’ than xdotool, unfortunately the writer doesn’t understand enough about either to make this work.

==Removing captions from K-Menu ==

Add following line into section [menus] in file ~/.trinity/share/config/kickerrc

ShowMenuTitles=false

==Adding a separator between windows button in the title bar ==
Open TDE Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Window Decorations and then select the "Buttons" tab. 
In the middle of the screen there is a list of possible buttons. Drag a separator (--- spacer ---) on the title bar of the sample window, between the buttons where you want to space to appear. 
Check the preview in the bottom part of the screen and modify again as required. 
Confirm when done.

==Log out of current TDE session ==

You can log out of the current TDE session and possibly shut down the system automaticly (depending on your TDE configuration) using this command:

dcop kdesktop default logout ["confirm" "type" "mode"]

You can append three parameters "confirm", "type", "mode" to determine the
logout behaviour according to the following values:

;First parameter "confirm"
:-1 -- Obey the user's confirmation setting
:0 -- Don't confirm, shutdown without asking
:1 -- Always confirm, ask even if the user turned it off

;Second parameter "type"
:-1 -- Select previous action or the default if it's the first time
:0 -- Only log out
:1 -- Log out and reboot the machine
:2 -- Log out and halt the machine

;Third parameter "mode"
:-1 -- Select previous mode or the default if it's the first time
:0 -- Schedule a shutdown (halt or reboot) for the time all active sessions have exited
:1 -- Shut down, if no sessions are active. Otherwise do nothing
:2 -- Force shutdown. Kill any possibly active sessions
:3 -- Pop up a dialog asking the user what to do if sessions are still active

'''Full stop example'''
Don't ask, log out and halt machine, killing any sessions

dcop ksmserver default logout 0 2 2

==Upgrading from KDE3 or from TDE 3.5.x to R14.0.x==

If you are migrating from KDE3 or upgrading from TDE 3.5.x, you can reuse your own settings in TDE R14.0.x.
When logging into R14.0.x for the first time, TDE will automatically execute a script which will migrate as many of your KDE3/TDE3.5.x settings as possible. At the end of the process, your KDE3/TDE3.5.x profile will still exist (unchanged) and a new TDE profile will have been created inside the '''~/.trinity''' folder.
 '''NOTE''' Please refrain from renaming your .kde into .trinity before running R14.0.x. If you do so, the migration process will not take part and some applications may not run smoothly after that. See [http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2356 here] for an example of problems that may arise if you rename your .kde folder manually.

==Upgrading from an old version (pre Dec/2014)==

Depending on your previous version of TDE, the file /etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc may change from a script-generated file to a config file.
It is advisable to accept the newer file if you are upgrading from an old version to TDE >= R14.0.0.

Michael: typo, file size

[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Installation]]

On this page you can read the instructions to install Trinity Desktop Environment on your MX Linux system.

=='''MX Linux Summary'''==

MX Linux uses a combination of official Debian stable and antiX repositories in addition to their own repositories for keeping components current. MX Linux releases once per year and its versions are named based upon the year (MX-18 was released December 20, 2018).

Systemd is included by default but not enabled. No official support will be provided for users who choose to run MX Linux using systemd (see MX Users Manual for additional information).

Links: 
https://mxlinux.org/ 
https://mxlinux.org/manuals

You can install TDE in your computer in one of the following ways.

='''Available versions and architectures'''=

=='''R14.0.x series'''==

==='''MX-19 Automagically (mostly)'''===

We have an installation file for MX Linux 19.

Requirements:

You will need to have installed MX Linux from the MX Live USB, or any other method that results in a full MX install that includes installing the desktop Xfce.

To Install:

After the MX install, save the file [[Media:Tde.xml]] (Save Link As...) to your computer and rename it to tde.pm .

'''Bug Fix:'''

The printf, even commented out, is stopping the Package Installer from seeing the entire tde.pm. The printf works fine from the root command line. Given that, after downloading the tde.pm:

<nowiki>
- Make a backup copy of it
- Remove the lines in the <postinstall> section
- Continue below, then
- After you ‘Login TDE’
- - run the two commands (printf, chmod) that you removed from <postinstall> as root (or sudo)
</nowiki>

Then place it into /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist .

<nowiki>
# ll /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4196 Jul 26 21:24 /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
</nowiki>

Then from Xfce4

<nowiki>Menu >> MX Tools >> MX Package Installer
{Tab} Popular Applications
{Expand} Desktop Environments
{Check} Trinity Desktop Environment
{Click} Install</nowiki>

* Logout of Xfce4
* {set default window manager, etc.}
* Login TDE

==='''Manually (all versions)'''===

Use official TDE packages for Debian. Modify the instructions available at this [[DebianInstall|page]] with the below and use the corresponding Debian version as noted here.

* MX-19 - Use debian buster packages
* MX-18 - Use debian stretch packages
* MX-17 - Use debian stretch packages

Add the package manager lines as shown on the [[Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions#Configure_the_package_manager|Configure the package manager]] section to a file and place it in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Example MX-18:

<nowiki>root@local [/etc/apt/sources.list.d]# cat trinity-desktop-environment.list

## Trinity Desktop Environment - TDE R14.0.x
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x stretch main

deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x stretch main</nowiki>

=='''v3.5.13.2'''==

There is no support for this TDE version in MX Linux.

On this page you can read the instructions to install Trinity Desktop Environment on your MX Linux system.

=='''MX Linux Summary'''==

MX Linux uses a combination of official Debian stable and antiX repositories in addition to their own repositories for keeping components current. MX Linux releases once per year and its versions are named based upon the year (MX-18 was released December 20, 2018).

Systemd is included by default but not enabled. No official support will be provided for users who choose to run MX Linux using systemd (see MX Users Manual for additional information).

MX Linux Trinity Repository Installation Instructions

2020-08-11T15:49:59Z

Michael: Updated with the file path and complete instructions

[[Category:Documentation]]
[[Category:Installation]]

On this page you can read the instructions to install Trinity Desktop Environment on your MX Linux system.

=='''MX Linux Summary'''==

MX Linux uses a combination of official Debian stable and antiX repositories in addition to their own repositories for keeping components current. MX Linux releases once per year and its versions are named based upon the year (MX-18 was released December 20, 2018).

Systemd is included by default but not enabled. No official support will be provided for users who choose to run MX Linux using systemd (see MX Users Manual for additional information).

=='''Warnings / Notes'''==

There are no official TDE packages available for MX Linux. Per MX Linux forums, TDE has been installed sporadically on MX Linux back to ~2015. Michael has been running TDE in MX-18 (since 01/19) and MX-19 (since 07/20).

You can still install TDE in your computer in one of the following ways.

='''Available versions and architectures'''=

=='''R14.0.x series'''==

==='''Global Information (read first)'''===

MX Linux uses a sources list directory system not a /etc/apt/sources.list file. If you are adding TDE manually create a separate file and and place it in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d .

==='''MX-19 Automagically (mostly)'''===

We have an installation file for MX Linux 19.

Requirements:

You will need to have installed MX Linux from the MX Live USB, or any other method that results in a full MX install that includes installing the desktop Xfce.

To Install:

After the MX install, rename [[File:Tde.xml]] to tde.pm and put it into /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist .

<nowiki>
# ll /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4196 Jul 26 21:24 /usr/share/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/tde.pm
</nowiki>
