Change the Trinity ppa sources to 3.5.12 > 4. apt-get update/upgrade to pull in 3.5.12 > 5. boot into TDE and look around.... then upgrade to 3.5.13 Back in March I was successful in dragging both my desktop and netbook from lucid+kde3.5.11 to lucid+trinity3.5.13.1. All updates/upgrades went Just Fine. Today I dug out a laptop that was loaded with lucid+kde3.5.11 and had been "gathering dust on the shelf" for about a year. I now have a use for it. I attempted to upgrade to trinity 3.5.12 (in order to then upgrade to trinity 3.5.13.1) with the above repositories. Alas, I got: |... |Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Packages | 404 Not Found |Err http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net lucid/main Sources | 404 Not Found |... |W: Failed to fetch | http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | 404 Not Found | |W: Failed to fetch | http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/source/Sources.gz | 404 Not Found | |E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old | ones used instead. Back in March or April Tim had said he would give notice before removing those repositories, but I either missed it if that was the case, and/or they are gone for good. How now to get this laptop from 3.5.11 to 3.5.13.1? ( I did a "test" setup to upgrade directly to 3.5.13.1, but replied ( "No" when asked to proceed after the BIG List of new/updated -trinity ( modules was presented. So, those repositories will probably work ( for me _if_ I could get this laptop to 3.5.12... ) Happy New Year!! Jonesy
