It's been my experience that tde-trinity dependencies load xorg
without any problems at all.
It "just worked".
Looking forward to hearing Gene's experience this time.
Curt-
It's bad Curt. Even with no x stuff at all, even aptitude couldn't
come up with the solution, So I q'd out of it, I'm afraid of it as it
has destroyed the systm and made a re-install required. Several times
over the last 20 years. OTOH, I'm so afraid of aptitude that I don't
know how to run it properly.
So I gave up, and because I'm using xfce4 on 5 other machines here, had
a root session of apt install it which pulled in 434 more packages,
Then startx locked up tight and I had to power cycle it to reboot, and
was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by what I think was the lightdm
login when it had rebooted..
And thunderbird seems to have remembered my creds at the mail server so
here I am, but t-bird has yet to learn how to make local folders and
sort the imap downloads into them. Used to be the right mouse button
did all that but that was 15 years ago. Being used to xfce4, I can
probably tolerate it, but would really like to have something like
trinity's kmail. kde5 ain't it, poor stability and Ingo is no better at
herding cats than he was 20 years ago, bugs don't get fixed. So here I
am, till I find a better email agent, suggestions welcome.
Thanks Curt, take care & stay well.
Cheers, Gene
