## Useful notes on upgrading

When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize potential problems.

### New GPG signing key for deb repositories

A new GPG key is now used to sign Debian / Raspbian / Ubuntu repositories.

If you use any of such distros and already have the trinity-keyring package installed, changing the GPG key for the repository will not affect you. If you do not have the trinity-keyring package installed, you must first obtain a new GPG key as described in Import GPG signing key otherwise the repository will be reported as untrusted.

### Conflict between KPilot and tde-i18n packages

For historical reasons KPilot translations were part of the tde-i18n package. Now the translations have been carved out from tde-i18n and moved to the kpilot package.

If you have kpilot installed, we recommend uninstalling the package before upgrading to the new release to avoid conflicts of translation files. You can reinstall KPilot after the upgrade process has completed.

### Removed dbus policy at_console

A newer version of SystemD has removed the dbus policy at_console. As a result, communication with the TDE Hardware Control daemon may stop working.

While this will be addressed in the R14.1.0 release, for the time being if you encounter this problem we recommend to change the policy from at_console="true" to some other acceptable options such as group="users" in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.trinitydesktop.hardwarecontrol.conf.

## FreeBSD Support

TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD, although still partial given some of the new issues that have arisen with the latest versions of FreeBSD. The TDE team will try their best to improve support for FreeBSD but progress will probably be slow. Additional developers or contributors willing to help porting the remaining features and applications are always welcome.
