I can not install trinity DE even though I copied and pasted the command lines from the trinity website.

It won't add any of the repositorys, even if it appears so. The repos don't show up in Softwarecenter.

Code: Select all
[ich@neuerpc daten]$ sudo urpmi.addmedia trinity http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64
Mediums »trinity« wird hinzugefügt
Ungültige md5sum-Datei (heruntergeladen von http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64/media_info)
[ich@neuerpc daten]$ sudo urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch
Mediums »trinity-noarch« wird hinzugefügt
Ungültige md5sum-Datei (heruntergeladen von http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch/media_info)

If you try to remove the recently added repo, they are not existant:
Code: Select all
[ich@neuerpc daten]$ sudo urpmi.removemedia trinity trinity-noarch

See the error messages about the invalid checksums. Either the mirror is not completely synced or the download was bad or something is wrong with their repo metadata.
You could try to ask in their IRC channel or on the mailinglist. I think the packages are built by François Andriot

I got the same error when trying to add the Trinity repos for Mageia, but I managed to get it installed with a work around. Here's a how to guide explaining what I did.

Open a terminal.

In your home folder and not as root, create a directory to put the Trinity rpms from the repos in.

Code: Select all
mkdir tderepos


Then switch to your new folder

Code: Select all
cd tderepos


Type the following:

Code: Select all
wget -r http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64


Press enter and all of the files in that repo will be downloaded into your tderepos folder on your disk.

While you wait, open a new terminal. Go to your tderepos folder.

Code: Select all
cd tderepos


Type the following:

Code: Select all
wget -r http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch


When you press enter, the rpms will downloaded.

When both terminals have finished downloading, become root ("su"). Then type the following 2 commands in the terminal. (Use your own user name instead of "putzina".

Code: Select all
urpmi.addmedia trinity /home/putzina/tderepos/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/x86_64

urpmi.addmedia trinity-noarch /home/putzina/tderepos/trinity/rpm/mga8/trinity-r14/RPMS/noarch


Then also as root:

Code: Select all
urpmi trinity-desktop




And enjoy!

This way shouldn't be necessary anymore because the Trinity mirrors are fixed and you can easily add their repository now.

I just tried again and got the same error message. Fortunately, I have already installed trinity using the work around I came up with. I hope they get those online repos working soon, so I can get any updates that come along. In the meantime, I wanted to provide a solution that would make TDE installable.

Did you actually report it to them like it was suggested before already? E.g. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/support.php
