Trinity KDE

This project aims to keep the KDE3.5 computing style alive, as well as polish off any rough edges that were present as of KDE 3.5.10. Along the way, new useful features will be added to keep the environment up-to-date.

Towards that end, significant new enhancements have already been made in areas such as display control, network connectivity, authentication, and much more!

NOTE: This project is not an official continuation of KDE3.5 by KDE e.V., which will not be creating new releases. This is an independent fork using a largely separate developer community.

1. Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
For Maverick [STABLE] (4 lines):
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity/ubuntu maverick main
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu maverick main

2. Add the GPG signing key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net --recv-keys 2B8638D0

3. Install KDE 3.5:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-default-settings-kde3 kubuntu-desktop-kde3

Reset system wide cursor theme

If you installed KDE in ubuntu (GNOME based), you may have noticed that when you log back into GNOME, you keep the KDE cursor theme.

To fix this, use update-alternatives like so:

0025|z@zentury ~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
There are 7 choices for the alternative x-cursor-theme (providing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme).

  Selection    Path                                     Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme          50        auto mode
  1            /etc/X11/cursors/core.theme               30        manual mode
  2            /etc/X11/cursors/handhelds.theme          20        manual mode
  3            /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme          50        manual mode
  4            /etc/X11/cursors/redglass.theme           20        manual mode
  5            /etc/X11/cursors/whiteglass.theme         20        manual mode
  6            /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursor.theme   30        manual mode
