<question>

|
<para>What kind of hardware do I need to run &tde; ?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>To run &tde; consider at least a Pentium III processor, 512MB of memory, and 500MB of free disk space for a basic installation. A full installation will require about 3GB of hard drive storage space. While &tde; will run on slower hardware, performance likely will require some patience. Generally, if your computer runs other desktop environments then the hardware probably is capable of running &tde;.</para>

<para>You need the &Qt; library as provided by the &tde; developers. Previous

versions of &Qt; will not work with the latest &tde;.
|

Please ensure you download the correct &Qt;. You will

also need the header files, if you want to compile &tde;
|
|
yourself. They are all available, at no cost, from the <ulink

|
|
There are optional libraries that might improve &tde; if
|
|
installed on your system. An example is OpenSSL which will enable
|
|
&konqueror; to browse web pages securely. These additional packages
|
|
should be provided by your distributor.</para>

<para>When your system uses shadow passwords, the screensaver can only

run properly if the suid bit is set. This bit gives the screensavers
|
|
root privileges, which are needed to access the shadow passwords.

</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>There should not be any need to keep the <filename>.c</filename> and
|
|
<filename>.o</filename> files, but you might want to keep the
|
|
<filename>.h</filename> files, as they are used by includes if you ever want to
|
|
compile your own &tde; programs. But if you wish to add patches to the source
|
|
programs as they become available (rather than downloading everything again),
|
|
then they should stay.</para>

<question>
|
|
<para>I updated &tde; and all seemed to go fine, but when I start &tde;,
|
|
I get a blank gray screen, and nothing happens. There are errors in
|
|
the console about DCOPserver. What's going on?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
&tde; uses several temporary files during its operation.
|
|
Usually these directories and files are found in the following locations:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$HOME/.DCOPserver-*</filename> (there are usually two of these; one is a symlink to the other)</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$HOME/.trinity/socket-<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></filename></para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$HOME/.trinity/tmp-<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></filename>, which normally is a symlink to the next file:</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$TMP/tde-<replaceable>USER</replaceable></filename></para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$HOME/.trinity/socket-<replaceable>hostname</replaceable></filename>, which normally is a symlink to:</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><filename>$TMP/tdesocket-<replaceable>USER</replaceable></filename></para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the symlinks get broken, such as when
|
|
<command>cron</command> or a shutdown script is emptying the
|
|
<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> folder, then strange
|
|
things will happen. These files, and the symlinks, will all be
|
|
created automatically at the start of &tde; so you can safely remove
|
|
them <emphasis>while &tde; is not running</emphasis>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you are only getting a gray screen when you start &tde;, or if you get an error message telling you to <errorname>Check your installation</errorname>, then shut down X and delete all the files listed above, then try to restart X.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Normally (&ie; when not updating between &tde; versions) it's
|
|
quite safe to leave these files intact, and you may shave a few
|
|
seconds off your &tde; startup time by doing so.</para>

<question>

<para>Is &tde; backwards or binary compatible with KDE 3?</para>

<para>While many programs originally designed for KDE 3 will compile on Trinity, binary

compatibility with KDE 3 is not a goal of &tde; developers.</para>

<question>
|
|
<para>Is &tde; backwards or binary compatible with previous releases of &tde;?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Possibly, but binary compatibility is not a project goal with major point
|
|
releases. A package that built on a previous version of &tde; but no longer builds
|
|
on the current release should be brought to the attention of the developers.</para>

<question>
|
|
<para>Is my KDE 3 profile directory compatible with Trinity?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>Not quite but don't worry. Some "scrubbing" cleanup is required to migrate
|
|
a KDE 3 profile. For new users or those with little customization we recommend
|
|
creating a fresh profile. For those long-time users who cringe at the thought
|
|
of recreating their desktop, we provide a migratekde3 shell script. That script
|
|
copies a $HOME/.kde3 profile directory to $HOME/.trinity and performs the required
|
|
"scrubbing" cleanup. Although the script has been tested we provide the tool "as is"
|
|
with no warranties or guarantees. (The script works really well, actually. :-))</para>

<para>How do I uninstall &tde; applications compiled from

source?</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>You can uninstall your programs by typing <command>make
|
|
uninstall</command> in the folder where you did <command>make
|
|
install</command>. If you have already deleted that folder,
|
|
then there is only one way, and it is not good: go to <filename
|
|
class="directory">$<envar>TDEDIR</envar>/bin</filename> and start deleting files
|
|
one by one.</para>
|
|
<para>If you expect to find yourself in this situation, you might want to
|
|
consider a program such as &GNU; <application>stow</application>, found at
