3. Install the Trinity desktop environment
Installing the minimum, basic desktop (about 200 MB disk space required):
yum install trinity-tdebase
Installing the entire Trinity desktop (about 600 MB disk space required):
yum install trinity-desktop
Installing the entire Trinity desktop + all Trinity supported applications (about 1200 MB disk space required):
yum install trinity-desktop-all
4. (Optional) Install your locale translation package, e.g for French translation
yum install trinity-tde-i18n-French
Koffice translations:
yum install trinity-koffice-i18n-French
K3B translations:
yum install trinity-k3b-i18n-French
Note: you can obtain a list of available TDE packages with the following command:
yum search trinity-
5. (Optional) Sets TDM as the default display manager
For RHEL / CentOS 6
Edit or create file: /etc/sysconfig/desktop Add/modify the line:
DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/tdm
Save the file then reboot your computer.
For RHEL / CentOS 7, 8, 9
You must disable your current Display Manager in systemd. E.g:
systemctl disable gdm.service systemctl disable kdm.service systemctl disable xdm.service
Then enable TDM service:
systemctl enable tdm.service
Then reboot your computer.
7. (Optional) Install missing XINE codecs
By default, the Xine libraries provided with RHEL/CentOS cannot play some formats like MPEG1/MPEG2. As a result, Kaffeine cannot playback video DVD (among other problems). In order to add the missing codecs, you must install the "xine-lib-extra-freeworld" package, by typing the following command.
For CentOS 6 (i686):
yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/i386/xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.18.1-1.el6.nux.i686.rpm
For CentOS 6 (x86_64):
yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/x86_64/xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.18.1-1.el6.nux.x86_64.rpm
