Not nice to look at, but just cosmetic. At the end I got this error: "Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:\n htdig\n khelpcenter-trinity\n tdebase-trinity\n tde-core-trinity\n tde-trinity\n tex-common" "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" +++ void MainWindow::refreshPopularApps() +++ +++ QStringList MainWindow::listInstalled() +++ dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | cut -f1 +++ void MainWindow::displayPopularApps() const +++ a manual "apt-get install --fix-missing" just configured these packages: htdig khelpcenter-trinity tde-core-trinity tde-trinity tdebase-trinity tex-common TDE login works as expected. Languagepack is missing (can that be selected by the user in the GUI?) On TDE mx-updater is kind of broken: it shows the number of available updates, but it cannot install the updates. Handbook and some other desktop ikons have a generic "empty page" icon, but work. So basicly an easy way to add TDE to MX - well done :) Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
