Enabling the Trinity Desktop Environment repository

Many thanks to the TDE project for adding OpenMandriva Lx into their official packaging project:

Enabling the repos will require manually creating a .repo file that will exist in /etc/yum.repos.d. For this, you can create a file such as trinity.repo with the following contents:

[TDE-x86_64]
name="Trinity Desktop Environment - x86_64"
baseurl=https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omvcooker/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omvcooker/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity
#type=rpm-md
enabled=1

[TDE-noarch]
name="Trinity Desktop Environment - noarch"
baseurl=https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omvcooker/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omvcooker/RPM-GPG-KEY-trinity
#type=rpm-md
enabled=1

This file would be suitable for testing in Cooker (which is probably preferred at this time), and probably ROME. There isn’t an aarch64 package set at this time, but successful testing may put us in a position to build the specs on ABF. Rock users can also test it by replacing the following instances:

https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omvcooker

With:

https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/omv6

Verify that the repo file is correct by the command dnf repolist. It should show up in the list of enabled repos. Get started with just the base system with sudo dnf in trinity-tdebase.

You can report issues upstream on their Gitea:

They have separate repos that pertain to the components in TDE and your best bet is to open issues for the components. One of the current issues produces a lot of pop-ups when the session is first logged into:

You have to click Ok through all the pop-ups and the desktop will load.

Please be respectful, and make a good impression on them.

It still looks like 3.5 was frozen in time.

It looks like this will get you started.

sudo dnf install tq3 tqtinterface arts tdelibs tdebase aRts tdeaddons tdeartwork tdebindings tdegraphics tdeutils tdemultimedia tdenetwork tdeadmin --refresh

I tried to install it as you put, Wilson, but it did not work. All of those files are not found. Has anyone successfully installed this desktop? I want to try it, but cannot install it

I only found that info in their FAQ, but I have not tried to install it. Since it is their repos and not ours, we are a bit limited. It doesn’t help that they don’t have a forum to ask questions.

There is also the package tdm if you want to use their display manager.

When you say all of them not found, you mean it did not find any? Did the repos actually install? Can you do a dnf search of any of them?

This is what you are supposed to do if you don’t want every single package.

My comments were obviously incorrect, but I have no way to fix them. Just follow @zeroability 's instructions and you should be just fine.
