(I confess, however, that I did run Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04x, with KDE3x desktop, until it absolutely would not function any more.) Regarding KDE4/5 and Plasma, I used them for a while, when I was first trying to get TDE installed, and the only thing that seemed to work for me was a Debian disc with KDE5 desktop already installed. At least for me, on my machines, KDE4/5 stuff cause too many problems. And anyway, I was only joking; everybody is free to run whatever they want on their own machines. I hear some people still run Windoze. In the meanwhile, I would join those who remind us that we have a very small team of developers and limited resources; and to my mind, it is a miracle that we are able to run our machines with a desktop as fine as TDE. Other desktops have gone in directions that I don't want to take. It would be nice to see this problem resolved, but it's pretty trivial, and we have filled the mailing list with at least three or four rounds of discussion on this same question. More comprehensive documentation and explanation of the matter would be nice. (Perhaps get Stefan to transfer his commentary to the appropriate place? so that newbies might benefit?) Or - it occurs to me - why not just put a note in some prominent place, perhaps here: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions Instructions to say that if users should get that error, then please do such-and-such (e.g., follow Nik's method, or whatever). Then maybe we won't have to rehash this same question over and over and over and over. (I do believe that we are now on the third or fourth round.) Just saying: Isn't it part of the hacker's code not to keep repeating work that has already be done? No useless reduplication? (I mean *hacker* in the original, pure, "good" sense of the term.) Off-topic discussions don't bother me nearly as much as reading the same question, rehashed over and over again. :-] Bill ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
