===Overview===

The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software.

R14.0.7 is the seventh maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.6 version. <br/>
Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both major new features and major codebase re-factoring.

A detailed commit change log is also available [[Changelog_For_R14.0.7|here]].

<br/>
===Troubleshooting===

Here are the issues you may encounter when upgrading from previous releases and how to troubleshoot these issues.

====New GPG signing key for deb repositories====

After changes to the primary archive, a new GPG key is used to sign Debian / Raspbian / Ubuntu repositories.

If you already have the trinity-keyring package installed, changing the GPG key for the repository will not affect you. If you do not have the package installed, you must first obtain a new GPG key, otherwise the repository will be reported as untrusted. See [[DebianInstall#Import_GPG_signing_key|Import GPG signing key]].

====Conflict between KPilot and tde-i18n packages====

For historical reasons, the translations for the KPilot were part of the tde-i18n package. Now the translations have been moved to the kpilot package.

If you have the kpilot package installed, we recommend to uninstall the package before upgrading to avoid the conflict of translation files and reinstall it after the upgrade to the new release.

====Removed dbus policy at_console====

A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console. As a result, communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon may stop working.

If you encounter this problem, we recommend to change the policy from at_console="true" to some other acceptable option, such as group="users", in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.trinitydesktop.hardwarecontrol.conf.

<br/>
===Getting TDE===

Installation instructions and binary packages are immediately available for [[DebianInstall|Debian]], [[DevuanInstall|Devuan]], [[RaspbianInstall|Raspbian]] and [[UbuntuInstall|Ubuntu]]. Packages for [[RedHatInstall|RedHat/CentOs]], [[FedoraInstall|Fedora]], [[MageiaInstall|Mageia]], [[OpenSUSEInstall|OpenSUSE]], and [[PCLinuxOSInstall|PCLinuxOS]] are being built by their respective maintainers and may be already available or will be soon.

Live CDs with TDE R14.0.7 preinstalled are or will be available soon on the [[LiveCDs|LiveCDs page]].

===FreeBSD Support===

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome.
