All in all, the desktop functions beautifully on current graphics libs, systemd-tools, libusbx, udisk2 and other newly implemented hardware paradigms. |

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining the overall KDE 3.5 computing style. The project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson. Timothy is an experienced and skilled software developer and was the KDE 3.x coordinator of previous Kubuntu releases.
The goal of this project is to keep the KDE3.5 computing style alive, as well as polish off any rough edges that were present as of KDE 3.5.10. Along the way, new useful features have be added to keep the environment up-to-date.
The current stable release of TDE (3.5.13) was released Nov 1st 2011. A software release update (SRU) for 3.5.13 is planned in late 2012. Current development is on 14.0.0. Both 3.5.13(sru) and 14.0.0 build on Arch with all current libraries. The old stable 3.5.12 release was packaged as an updated kdemod3.
Contents
The difference between 3.5.13 and 14.0.0
The versioning change between 3.5.13 and 14.0.0 signifies that backwards compatibility with 3.5.X has been dropped to allow TDE/TQt to install along side KDE4/Qt4 without conflict. 14.0.0 will continue to rely on HAL, but subsequent releases will do away with that dependency. 14.0.0 contains the first prototype of media:/ kioslave as a replacement for HAL. 3.5.13 continues backwards compatibility with KDE 3.5.10 code and provides an alternative choice for those that prefer. The 3.5 13 branch will be maintained for the forseeable future.
Currently the remaining TQt name changes are being implemented after which a tentative code 'freeze' is anticipated to allow user testing and bug identification. 14.0.0 will be a true TDE release with all branding, artwork, and graphics changed and updated for this project rather than using the holdover KDE3 stock images. All in all, the desktop functions beautifully on current graphics libs, systemd-tools, libusbx, udisk2 and other newly implemented hardware paradigms.
Installation
Currently development packages for Arch Linux are available for both 3.5.13-sru and 14.0.0. Server space has been graciously provided by maevius.
For stable 3.5.13-sru snapshots add to your /etc/pacman.conf
:
[tde3513] Server = http://archlinux.us.to/3.5.13/$arch
For development 14.0.0 snapshots (expected by 9/1), add to your /etc/pacman.conf
:
[tde1400] Server = http://archlinux.us.to/14.0.0/$arch
Meta package installation for tde is provided under the name tde-base
. Simply install with:
pacman -Sy tde-base
tde-sip
and tde-sip4-tqt
are direct replacements for the sip
and python2-sip
packages. They simply contain additional extensions for TDE. If you encounter these conflicts, the recommended install is:
pacman -Rdd sip python2-sip pacman -Sy tde-base
libart-lgpl
and kdebase-workspace
. The libart-lgpl
packages are equivalent. The kdebase-workspace
conflict is with /etc/ksysguarddrc
. Both are in the process of being eliminated.Start and configuration
After a successful install of TDE, starting TDE from the command line or configuring /etc/inittab
to launch tdm is straightforward. The init script for the display manager has been renamed from kdm
to tdm
to avoid conflicts.
Configure to work with startx
Trinity provides a normal starttde
in /opt/trinity/bin
(symlink provided in 3.5.13). The easiest way to start Trinity is to simply add /opt/trinity/starttde
entry at the end of ~/.xinitrc
. If you do not presently have ~/.xinitrc
, then simply create it with the following entry:
~/.xinitrc
exec /opt/trinity/bin/starttde
Then from the command line, just type startx
.
Configure with kdm greeter
Trinity provides a great looking tdm graphical interface. The tde-tdebase
PKGBUILD has been updated to install the trinity.desktop
file in /etc/X11/sessions
. In order to automatically lauch tdm
on boot, edit /etc/inittab
and change the runlevel 5 x startup to:
x:5:respawn:/opt/trinity/bin/tdm -nodaemon
If you modified inittab in runlevel 3, you can use telinit
to initialize the runlevel 5 services from the command line.
If you experiment with other display managers (slim, etc..) please drop a quick howto here.
Build from source
PKGBUILDs - current git code
For a snapshot of PKGBUILD sources for building against the current GIT tree, see R14 and 3.5.13-sru. Be sure to read the README-building.txt.
Build order
The required build order is specified in the Trinity-HowToBuild. After building tdebase
, you can start the desktop.
Set up your chroot for building by referencing DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot. Make sure you configure your local
repository in $CHROOT/root/repo
and add each package built to the repository as outlined in the DeveloperWiki.
Example
# mkarchroot -u $CHROOT/root # makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT # makechrootpkg -r $CHROOT
Which means respectively:
- update the chroot
- build first package with the -c option
- build remaining packages without update }}

Known issues
Issues for 3.5.13-sru
The following are issues that are specific to the 3.5.13-sru release:
KHelpCenter documentation from packages built with autotools are installed in /opt/trinity/share/doc/HTML
while documentation from CMake packages are installed in /opt/trinity/share/doc/kde/HTML
. This means roughly one-half of the help files are missing from the khelpcenter browser. This is currently being fixed in the GIT tree and the next set of packages will have all help documentation in the chosen standard location of /opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML
. This also insures a future /usr
install will not conflict with any KDE help files. As a workaround in the mean time, after installing 3.5.13-sru:
cd /opt/trinity/share/doc/kde/HTML/en for i in ../../../HTML/en/*/; do ln -s $i; done
en
Package tde-tdesvn
for x86_64 had been built with libpath /opt/trinity/lib64
and /opt/trinity/lib64/trinity
, but there was no any records in libpath about them. Then, starting kdesvn
you get error libkdesvnpart.la not found in paths
. As a workaround you may copy/symlink libraries from /opt/trinity/lib64
and /opt/trinity/lib64/trinity
into /opt/trinity/lib
and /opt/trinity/lib/trinity
respectively or try to create libpath record and ldconfig
after it.
