Hi x2go-dev,
I have just started upgrading my
always-as-stable-as-possible-Debian-office-computer to Debian squeeze
and installed Trinity (KDE3.5 fork).
Not that my personal todo list and probably those of others are not
long enough already, but we should definitely add Trinity support to
X2go.
@John: in one of your postings lately I may remember you mentioning
Trinity in relation to X2go. Do you have any patches or a howto for an
installation. Basically, I think an adaptation of x2gokdebindings and
the x2gostartagent script shouldn't be too difficult...
Greets, Mike

<snip> Hi, Mike. Actually, we are using it in production with nary a problem - at least not one specific to Trinity! We had installed X2Go originally on Debian Lenny and then simply migrated to Trinity.
I suppose it depends on how Trinity is installed. In our case, we renamed the original /usr/bin/startkde and then added a symbolic link /usr/bin/startkde pointing to /opt/trinity/bin/startkde. Trinity honors the XDG and KIOSK directories and we copied ~/.kde to ~/.trinity for the users. I suppose we could call /opt/trinity/bin/startkde explicitly if we wanted to add it to the client as Trinity rather than KDE. That would give the option of running Trinity and KDE4 on the same system. In our case, we wanted to make the transition as seamless as possible and we have no intention of going to KDE4 in production for the foreseeable future - John

Thanks for the info. I'd like to see it supported natively!!! It's
awesome to see my squeeze box with a KDE3-like desktop!!!

I have added Trinity Desktop support to PyHoca-GUI. If the user
selects the ,,Trinity X Desktop'' then x2goruncommand tries to start
,,starttrinity'' on the X2go server.
For this then to work you'll need to create a symlink from
/usr/bin/starttrinity to /opt/trinity/bin/startkde.
@Alex: how about adding this to x2goclient, too?
I will propose the adding of the symlink to the trinity package
maintainer (.deb packages are currently only available on the Trinity
upstream site, no packages in Debian visible, yet).
