It provides a fast, stable, consistent and battle-tested desktop environment suitable for everyone.
Here's a Trinity 3.5.13 SFS built and tested on dpup. It's ultra-optimized and took about 8 hours to build. Sources are available here and they're quite big, so I won't upload them.
It has only two "exotic" dependencies: libutempter and libxslt. Both are included.
The SFS contains just the base Trinity, without any extra applications. They are available through its website and I guess I'll make packages for some.
Supported puppies
- Basically, all recent puplets with with XZ support in Squashfs
- All recent dpups (it was built on Guy Dog)
- Mayble: 5.2.8, 5.3 (not checked)
It ships as a XZ-compressed SFS, so if you can't use it with your Puppy, decompress it using a recent unsquashfs and create a new SFS you can use.
Mesa (Xorg_High or whatever you call it) or a replacement (e.g NVIDIA drivers) is required to run Trinity.
Installation instructions
Open a terminal window and run this -
Code: Select all
echo /opt/qt3/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
echo /opt/trinity/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
echo startkde > /etc/windowmanager
Once you ran this, the Qt3 and Trinity libraries will be available and Trinity will become your default window manager. In order to start Trinity, restart X.

Known Issues
Because of Puppy's non-standard menu structure, your menus will be a 'lil bit messed up. In the case of Guy Dog (my puplet), the menus look just fine, since all applications have standard menu entries, except Puppy's configuration wizards, PPM, etc'.
