=Setup Ubuntu Universe and Multiverse repositories=

As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> 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 <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file that include <tt>-updates</tt>.

If your system does not contain entries for <tt>-updates</tt>, copy your main Ubuntu repository line to the end of the <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file and append <tt>-updates</tt> to the distribution name.

Alternatively, you may use graphical tools or other tutorials to enable the Recommended Updates repository.

=Configure the package manager=
{{WarningBox

=Import GPG signing key=

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install only a basic environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox
|text=Before upgrading from v3.5.13.x (or even KDE3), please make sure to go through this [[Tips_And_Tricks|page]] for useful tips suggested by other TDE users.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

'''A.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Upgrading both Ubuntu and TDE from a previous version=
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
{{WarningBox
|text=Using a live CD to upgrade both Ubuntu and your Trinity installation may break your installation.<br>Instead, please follow these instructions.
}}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

1) Make sure you have ''update manager'' installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

2) Run the update-manager through console. Open a terminal and run:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

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.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Ubuntu release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Ubuntu Lunar, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

Preliminary Testing Builds

2026-03-04T01:43:40Z

Michele Calgaro: Update to use source.d folder

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
Would you like to always use the latest development version of TDE
on a Debian-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Devuan, Raspbian)?
Preliminary packages of the next major or minor release -
called "preliminary testing builds" (PTB) - are available for testing
for selected versions of those distributions.

PTB packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source),
so you'll be able to get regular updates.

==Installing Preliminary Testing Builds==

To use the preliminary testing builds you need to create the file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/tde.list</tt> and add the following lines to it.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your
lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary testing builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps main

Example for Debian 10 - Buster:

# Trinity preliminary testing builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing buster deps main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing buster deps main

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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

==Available distributions and architectures==

The PTB apt repository includes packages for various distributions and hardware
architectures. The current list of supported distributions and architectures is as follows:

===Distributions===

====Debian====
* unstable - Sid : amd64, i386, ppc64el, arm64, armhf, riscv64, loong64

Michele Calgaro: Update to use source.d folder

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

==Installing Preliminary Stable Builds==

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to create the file <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/tde.list</tt> and add the following lines to it.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a minimalist environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

===TDE R14.x.y series===
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===TDE v3.5.13.2===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo aptitude install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox

}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To perform such operation, choose one of the following optional steps.<br>

'''A.''' If you had previously installed <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde-trinity''</span>, install the all TDE packages except the development ones as follow.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''C.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Debian release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Debian bullseye, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing left-over files from your home directory==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Remove TDE files in <tt>$HOME</tt>. Usually these are the <tt>.tderc</tt> file and the <tt>.trinity</tt> and <tt>.qt</tt> directories. (The latter is still mistakenly used by some applications.)

=Import GPG signing key=

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a minimalist environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

===TDE R14.x.y series===
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===TDE v3.5.13.2===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">

$ sudo aptitude install kde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo aptitude install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox
|text=Before upgrading from v3.5.13.x (or even KDE3), please make sure to go through this [[Tips_And_Tricks|page]] for useful tips suggested by other TDE users.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To perform such operation, choose one of the following optional steps.<br>

'''A.''' If you had previously installed <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde-trinity''</span>, install the all TDE packages except the development ones as follow.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''C.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Debian release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Debian bullseye, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing left-over files from your home directory==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Remove TDE files in <tt>$HOME</tt>. Usually these are the <tt>.tderc</tt> file and the <tt>.trinity</tt> and <tt>.qt</tt> directories. (The latter is still mistakenly used by some applications.)

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.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Ubuntu release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Ubuntu Lunar, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

=Import GPG signing key=

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a minimalist environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

===TDE R14.x.y series===
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
===TDE v3.5.13.2===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo aptitude install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox
|text=Before upgrading from v3.5.13.x (or even KDE3), please make sure to go through this [[Tips_And_Tricks|page]] for useful tips suggested by other TDE users.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To perform such operation, choose one of the following optional steps.<br>

'''A.''' If you had previously installed <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde-trinity''</span>, install the all TDE packages except the development ones as follow.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''C.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Debian release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Debian bullseye, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing left-over files from your home directory==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Remove TDE files in <tt>$HOME</tt>. Usually these are the <tt>.tderc</tt> file and the <tt>.trinity</tt> and <tt>.qt</tt> directories. (The latter is still mistakenly used by some applications.)

Preliminary Testing Builds

2025-12-31T02:36:45Z

Michele Calgaro: Added loong64 architecture

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
Would you like to always use the latest development version of TDE
on a Debian-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Devuan, Raspbian)?
Preliminary packages of the next major or minor release -
called "preliminary testing builds" (PTB) - are available for testing
for selected versions of those distributions.

PTB packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source),
so you'll be able to get regular updates.

==Installing Preliminary Testing Builds==

To use the preliminary testing builds you need to add the following lines
to your /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your
lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary testing builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps main

Example for Debian 10 - Buster:

# Trinity preliminary testing builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing buster deps main
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-testing buster deps main

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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

==Available distributions and architectures==

The PTB apt repository includes packages for various distributions and hardware
architectures. The current list of supported distributions and architectures is as follows:

Preliminary Stable Builds

2025-12-31T02:36:17Z

Michele Calgaro: Added loong64 architecture

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

==Installing Preliminary Stable Builds==

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14

2025-11-09T23:40:33Z

Michele Calgaro: Update to R14.1.5

This template provides a '''table with installation instructions''' per distribution/operating system. It also tells the latest available version of TDE for that system.

When there is a new release available for one of these systems, you only need to change the available version here; all the pages that use this template will show the updated data automatically.

Mark the latest release with <span style="background: lightgreen;">lightgreen</span>, the release before it with <span style="background: yellow;">yellow</span> and older releases with <span style="background: orange;">orange</span>.

If there is something important that should be noticed about packages (e.g. pending builds) consider adding them below the table in a [[:Template:TipBox|TipBox]] or a [[:Template:WarningBox|WarningBox]] appropriately.

Trinity Desktop Environment

2025-11-09T23:28:48Z

Michele Calgaro: Update to release R14.1.5

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.

Since version 1.1.43, libxslt is built <i>--without-debugger</i> by default, so if you wish to package kxsldbg for recent distributions, you will also need to custom build libxslt. Also from version 2.14 of libxml2, some code has been removed and this will likely make kxsldbg unbuildable without further changes.

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

<hr/>

Since version 1.1.43, libxslt is built <i>--without-debugger</i> by default, so if you wish to package kxsldbg for recent distributions, you will also need to custom build libxslt. Also from version 2.14 of libxml2, some code has been removed and this will likely make kxsldbg unbuildable without further changes.

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

Since version 1.1.43, libxslt is built <i>--without-debugger</i> by default, so if you wish to package kxsldbg for recent distributions, you will also need to custom build libxslt. Also from version 2.14 of libxml2, some code has been removed and this will likely make kxsldbg unbuildable without further changes.

=Setup Ubuntu Universe and Multiverse repositories=

As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> 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 <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file that include <tt>-updates</tt>.

If your system does not contain entries for <tt>-updates</tt>, copy your main Ubuntu repository line to the end of the <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file and append <tt>-updates</tt> 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 <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file.

=Import GPG signing key=

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install only a basic environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox
|text=Before upgrading from v3.5.13.x (or even KDE3), please make sure to go through this [[Tips_And_Tricks|page]] for useful tips suggested by other TDE users.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

'''A.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Upgrading both Ubuntu and TDE from a previous version=
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
{{WarningBox
|text=Using a live CD to upgrade both Ubuntu and your Trinity installation may break your installation.<br>Instead, please follow these instructions.
}}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

1) Make sure you have ''update manager'' installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

2) Run the update-manager through console. Open a terminal and run:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

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.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Ubuntu release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Ubuntu Lunar, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

==Importing the package signing key==

The best way to import TDE's package signing key is to manually download and install the package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. The advantage is that this method of installation is not dependent on the availability of a key server. Another advantage is that the key is not integrated into the global apt keyring, but is installed as a separate file:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Installing Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version. If you

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install only a basic environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install tde-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

=<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation=

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

This will upgrade TDE to the newer version and should complete smoothly.

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Devuan release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Devuan 4.x/chimaera, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_chimaera_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_chimaera_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing left-over files from your home directory==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Remove TDE files in <tt>$HOME</tt>. Usually these are the <tt>.tderc</tt> file and the <tt>.trinity</tt> and <tt>.qt</tt> directories. (The latter is still mistakenly used by some applications.)

Preliminary Stable Builds

2025-11-02T04:24:57Z

Michele Calgaro: Updated supported versions

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

==Installing Preliminary Stable Builds==

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14

Example for Ubuntu, 20.04 - Focal:

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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

==Available distributions and architectures==

The preliminary stable builds apt repository includes packages for various distributions and hardware architectures. The current list of distributions and architectures are as follows:

===Distributions===

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Debian release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Debian bullseye, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_bullseye_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}

==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

$ sudo apt-get clean

Since version 1.1.43, libxslt is built <i>--without-debugger</i> by default, so if you wish to package kxsldbg for recent distributions, you will also need to custom build libxslt. Also from version 2.14 of libxml2, some code has been removed and this will likely make kxsldbg unbuildable without further changes.

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD by providing updated "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port and the "tde-ports-map" script used to synchronize the contents with the standard /usr/ports location. "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.<br/>

=Setup Ubuntu Universe and Multiverse repositories=

As root (e.g. using sudo), uncomment (remove the # marks from) the lines of your <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> 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 <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file that include <tt>-updates</tt>.

If your system does not contain entries for <tt>-updates</tt>, copy your main Ubuntu repository line to the end of the <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file and append <tt>-updates</tt> 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 <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file.

{{WarningBox
|text=Make sure to replace <span style="color:#ff0000">'''<your-distribution-release-name>'''</span> with your actual distribution release name (for example 'jammy' or 'noble')

=Import GPG signing key=

The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-keyring.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trinity-keyring.deb
</syntaxhighlight>

=Install Trinity=
* If you are doing a '''fresh TDE installation''', please follow the steps listed below.<br>
* If you are '''upgrading''' from an existing version, please follow the instruction under the [[#TDEUpgrade|upgrading]] section.<br>

==Fresh installation==

The following steps are suggested for installing the latest version.

{{WarningBox
|text=<span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install only a basic environment, replace <span style="color:#0000ff">''tde-trinity''</span> with <span style="color:#0000ff">''tdebase-trinity''</span> in the instructions below.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude install kubuntu-default-settings-trinity kubuntu-desktop-trinity
</syntaxhighlight>

===Localization===
{{TipBox
|text=After installing the environment, it is also a good idea to install the localization packages so that you can switch the environment to your native language. For example, for Czech you would run: <syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ sudo apt-get install tde-i18n-cs-trinity</syntaxhighlight>
}}

==<span id="TDEUpgrade"></span>Upgrading from an existing installation==

The following steps are suggested for upgrading to the latest version.

{{TipBox
|text=Before upgrading from v3.5.13.x (or even KDE3), please make sure to go through this [[Tips_And_Tricks|page]] for useful tips suggested by other TDE users.
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade
</syntaxhighlight>

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.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

'''A.''' If you had previously installed some <span style="color:#0000ff">''kde meta packages''</span>, (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity, ...) use the command below, where <span style="color:#0000ff">''<tde-equivalent-metapackage>''</span> is the equivalent package in R14.0.x (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity, ...). Repeat for all meta packages there had been installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
</syntaxhighlight>

'''B.''' Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to <code>~i-trinity~ddummy</code> and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
</div></div>

=Upgrading both Ubuntu and TDE from a previous version=
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
{{WarningBox
|text=Using a live CD to upgrade both Ubuntu and your Trinity installation may break your installation.<br>Instead, please follow these instructions.
}}
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

1) Make sure you have ''update manager'' installed.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

2) Run the update-manager through console. Open a terminal and run:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ update-manager
</syntaxhighlight>

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.
</div></div>

=Removing Trinity=

{{TipBox | caption = Note | text = Please read the following instructions completely before starting the removal process.}}

Removing the Trinity Desktop Environment involves the following four steps:

# Uninstalling packages
# Removing the Trinity repository from the list of available package sources
# Cleaning up the package cache
# Removing left-over files from your home directory

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Uninstalling packages==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

===Using aptitude===

If you have ''aptitude'' installed, you can simply run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo aptitude purge '~i~Otrinitydesktop'
</syntaxhighlight>

===Using apt-get===

Using the standard ''apt-get'' utility to uninstall TDE and its dependencies involves the following three steps:
# Generating a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository
# Using that list to uninstall all installed packages originating from that repository
# Uninstalling all packages that were installed as dependencies of Trinity

To generate a list of all packages available from the Trinity repository, you will need to filter out just the package names from two files in <code>/var/lib/apt/lists</code> and write the result to a new file. The names of these files depend on three factors: The Ubuntu release in use, the processor type the system is running on, and whether you're using the stable series or rolling-release packages. So, for example, when running the R14.1.x series on the i386 variant of Ubuntu Lunar, the names are as follows:
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>
* <code>mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-builddeps-r14.1.x_dists_lunar_main_binary-i386_Packages</code>

First, let's create a new empty file in <code>/tmp</code>, using <code>mktemp</code>:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ mktemp /tmp/tde.XXXX
/tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Generating a list of all Trinity packages and writing it to that file now works as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sed -n '/^Package: / s/^Package: //p' /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org_trinity_deb_trinity-*Packages > /tmp/tde.fB6B
</syntaxhighlight>

Be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Now that we have a list of all TDE packages, we can hand that to <code>apt-get</code> for uninstallation:

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get remove $(cat /tmp/tde.fB6B)
</syntaxhighlight>

Replace <code>apt-get remove</code> with <code>apt-get purge</code> to also remove the configuration files that came with those packages. And, as above, be sure to replace the output file's name with the actual name of the file <code>mktemp</code> created on your system.

Apt will figure out which of the packages in the list are actually installed and present them for uninstallation. It will also already notify the user of a bunch of packages that "were automatically installed and are not longer required" and suggest using <code>apt autoremove</code> to uninstall them. We will take care of that in the next step. So, for now, just confirm the uninstallation of the TDE packages.

If Apt asks whether to stop the tdm deamon, say yes. We're removing TDE, after all. This will land you on the TTY that TDM was running on before. Need to switch back to the one you ran <code>apt-get</code> from using Ctrl + F1..7.

Finally, to uninstall all remaining Trinity dependencies, you will need to run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
</syntaxhighlight>

In case you also want to remove the configuration files that came with these packages, append <code>--purge</code> to the <code>autoremove</code> command.

{{WarningBox | caption = CAUTION | text = Beware that running <code>apt-get autoremove</code> without care can leave certain software on your system or the system as a whole in an unusable state. The command simply uninstalls all packages that were installed as dependencies of packages that are no longer installed, which might lead to the uninstallation of packages that you wanted to keep.

Be sure to read the list of packages that Apt will want to uninstall, carefully. If you want to continue to use any of the packages in that list, abort the operation, mark that package as manually installed, and then run the command again.

If you're not sure how to handle the situation, ask in the Trinity IRC channel or on the mailing list.}}
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing the Trinity repository from package sources==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Open <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> and either remove the Trinity repository lines or comment them by adding a hash symbol (<code>#</code>) at the beginning of each line. Then save the file and run <code>sudo apt-get update</code>.
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Cleaning up the package cache==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

If you deactivated/removed the repo from source.list, at least run

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get autoclean
</syntaxhighlight>

This will remove all Trinity packages from the local cache.

To get rid of other packages as well, you'll have to clean out the whole package cache using

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ sudo apt-get clean
</syntaxhighlight>
</div></div>

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
==Removing left-over files from your home directory==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Remove TDE files in <tt>$HOME</tt>. Usually these are the <tt>.tderc</tt> file and the <tt>.trinity</tt> and <tt>.qt</tt> directories. (The latter is still mistakenly used by some applications.)

Preliminary Stable Builds

2025-08-18T07:14:41Z

Michele Calgaro: typo

[[Category:Documentation]][[Category:Developers]]
A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

==Installing Preliminary Stable Builds==

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list.<br>
Please replace all references to '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "buster" or "focal".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb '''<your-distribution-release-name>''' deps-r14 main-r14

Example for Ubuntu, 20.04 - Focal:

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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

==Available distributions and architectures==

The preliminary stable builds apt repository includes packages for various distributions and hardware architectures. The current list of distributions and architectures are as follows:

Packages are signed using GPG key ID c93af1698685ad8b. The best way to install GPG key is to manually download and install package <code>trinity-keyring</code>. 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
