Setup Ubuntu Universe and Multiverse repositories
As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list file that include Universe and Multiverse
If your system does not contain entries for Universe and Multiverse, append "universe multiverse" to your main Ubuntu repository line.
Alternatively, you may use graphical tools or other tutorials to enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories.
Setup Ubuntu Recommended Updates repository
As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your /etc/apt/sources.list file that include -updates.
If your system does not contain entries for -updates, copy your main Ubuntu repository line to the end of the /etc/apt/sources.list file and append -updates to the distribution name.
Alternatively, you may use graphical tools or other tutorials to enable the Recommended Updates repository.
Configure the package manager
Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.


TDE R14.0.x
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.0.x <your-distribution-release-name> main
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x <your-distribution-release-name> main

Import GPG signing key
The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package trinity-keyring
. The advantage is that this method of installation is not dependent on the availability of the key server. Another advantage is that the key is not integrated into the global apt keyring, but is installed as a separate file:
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
Install Trinity
- If you are doing a fresh TDE installation, please follow the steps listed below.
- If you are upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or 3.5.13.x version, please follow the instruction under the upgrading section.
Fresh R14.0.x installation
The following steps are suggested for installing the latest R14.0.x version.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity

$ sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity
Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation
The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest R14.0.x version.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
This will upgrade TDE to the newer version and should complete smoothly.
If you are upgrading from an existing R14.0.x installation, you are done.
If you are upgrading from v3.5.13.x, after these two steps some dummy packages may still be installed on your system and could be safely removed. To perform such operation, choose one of the following optional steps.
A. If you had previously installed some kde meta packages, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <tde-equivalent-metapackage> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
B. Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to ~i-trinity~ddummy
and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
Upgrading both Ubuntu and TDE from a previous version

Instead, please follow these instructions.
1) Make sure you have update manager installed.
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager
2) Run the update-manager through console. Open a terminal and run:
$ update-manager
3) Check for updates and install all updates before proceeding. You need to have the latest packages to proceed.
4) Run the distribution upgrade tool. Click the upgrade button. Read the release notes, then let it download the upgrade tool. Authenticate with your password and let the upgrade run.
5) If you are upgrading from KDE 3 or TDE 3.5.x series, on the verification screens make sure there are no kde* packages anymore (for example, kdebase-kde3, kdelibs-kde3, kdebase-trinity, kdelibs-trinity).
6) You can allow the upgrade tool to check for obsolete packages. It should not remove TDE related ones.
